Review Hive Cafe - Lower Hutt

Nice Cafe n quite busy 👌. Lovely atmosphere to catch up with friends and family. If you're working, you can sit quietly and enjoy a cup of coffee ☕️. Staff is very friendly and helpful 😀. The bathroom is very clean 👌 🙌.

Nice and sunny outside area. Good selection of kitchen and cabinet food.

I got the scrambled eggs and they were delicious - also tasted the halloumi, potato cake, and the hot chocolate and all were great! Will definitely recommend and be coming back!

Food was amazing!! Best fried chicken waffles, orange smoothie was delicious, and I took a pinwheel to go and I’m so happy I did. Was also kept very happy by some lovely floofy boys in the courtyard 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺 going to recommend to my friends and go again!

We Had a lovely lunch here, Delicious Chocolate Cake, Great Service and very accommodating, such a lovely atmosphere, will Definitely be back.

Lovely atmosphere, with indoor and outdoor tables. Dog friendly courtyard. Very good food - done well & good portion size. Friendly and efficient service.

On had a Chai Latte, need to go back for a better look. Amazing garden area out back, can really unwind.

Brendon & the crew here made me feel part if the awesome community that is Hive & Eastbourne. Much appreciated the excellent coffee's, the oversized ginger gems & the chats. Big love 💖

Vegetarian and GF options. Good service. They served a lunch party of 8 all their meals within a short space of time, which should be standard but is unfortunately rare these days.

Really great job. The food was lovely, I had the brioche bun chicken burger, it was delicious. Others were delighted with their salmon eggs Benedict on potato rosti. The coffee was very good, they took the time to make me a special Cortado (wish it was on the menu, hint hint). Lovely staff doing great.

Great coffee, menu is more basic but tasty options & the cabinet food looked great. Service was a bit slow but would visit again. Lacking in other drink options though like smoothies and fresh juices.

Nice place where dogs are alloŵed in the garden area. Good food and coffee.

Lovely to sit outside on a hot day under shady umbrellas. Efficient fast-moving friendly smiling staff. Lots of food choice in the cabinet even though the cafe was busy. Our heated bacon & egg paninis were right temperature and brought to us in good time. The blueberry muffin was melt-in-the-mouth delicious.

Friendly staff, nice courtyard out the back which is sunny and sheltered. Food is typical cafe fare, selection isn't vast but no cause for complaint. I'll probably go back next time I'm in Eastbourne.

Great place for coffee and food. Beautiful outdoor area in the yard. Be aware that cafes in New Zealand close early.....in Germany is the optimal time for coffee and cake between 2.30 to 4.30 pm, here you will have to be ready by 2 pm....

Fantastic place, great food and service. Excellent cheese platter, jalapeño poppers just too yummy!! Great deco and service too.

Good range of gluten free cabinet food, but unfortunately there was only one option that was raw, gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free: the typical bliss ball (which my daughters and I enjoyed.) It'd be so great if they stocked 'Raw Goodness' treats - one of those with a Hive coffee would be worth going back for :) Friendly and prompt service. Beautiful setting in the garden and pleasant atmosphere inside as well. Children's toys and highchair available. Really delicious & perfectly made long black with their own roasted coffee 'Hive'. You can buy the coffee beans there, too. Clean and tidy bathroom.

Nice local place for a coffee and a snack. I had eggs on toast and it was pretty good. My long black was great.

This was just a convenient place to stop for a coffee, but the coffee and slice of cake were good, as was my wife's hot chocolate.
