The Hive had excellent service; the staff was so friendly! We sat on the patio and they brought the food out to us. I enjoyed the experience, let alone the delicious food!I grabbed the Bees Knees smoothie and a shroom wrap. Both were excellent! I did feel like the shroom wrap was a bit light on the shrooms, but it made up for it with other goods. Ill also recommend bringing your own straw; the paper straws here were fine, but a bit fragile for the cups.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Hive! Its as if the chefs/creators of the Hive designed the menu & experience just for us (fiance` & i). We had the best breakfast EVER and will definitely be back again. Perfectly laid back yet with high quality, elegance for todays culture. Weither vegan, vegetarian,, or omnivorous ~ everyone is sure to love the Hive. This is *our* new spot.

Great place! They have an easy, clean, and healthy menu that is reasonably priced. Staff is always friendly, quick, and on top of getting food to you even when youre sitting outside which is nice.

Never had a bean burrito till I came here. I read a bunch of reviews raving about the bean burrito. It was the BOMB! It is now my new jam. Short walking distance from the Shore Hotel were we stayed. Small little place with a few seating tables. Amazing vibe and everything is organic!! The breakfast bowls were so good and they did not cheap out.

I stopped by the other day & I was immediately greeted by a sweet employee. Another employee took my order and answered my questions & offered suggestions. Very friendly. While waiting for my order I wandered around this cute cafe and explored it a bit. It’s so cute and fun! It has these amazing mural drawings. Super amazing! I snapped a few selfies for the gram. Instagram worthy place 💯😍🌈🐝 They also have a outside private patio.🤍 I think the best part is the food! Yumz!!! I went a little crazy because I heard so many great things about the hive so I ordered a few things off the menu! Everything was super delicious 🤤 I even took takeout 🥡 lol my experience was refreshing. I really enjoy everything! Great customer service and clean. I will be returning! I’m bringing my friends for brunch! The menu has many options! They will love it! plant-based friendly & healthy options 🤍Definitely making this my brunch spot. Thank you so much for everything! Happy customer 🤍10/10 recommend 🙏

This was the first place to eat at during this trip and I was NOT disappointed. I usually go for clean eating mixed with “feel good” food and this was the perfect place for that.Staff were super friendly. Everything was clean. Great variety. The water station was very sustainable with a reminder not to put too much water so that it’s not wasted at the end.The art on the wall is pretty cool and had a great positive energy around it.And the food was really tasty and flavorful!

Service was quick, food was excellent!! The price was a tad high but expected for the area. Ordered the hive bowl and butter coffee - both were excellent. The hive bowl was plenty large as well! Highly recommend checking this place out for a solid breakfast.

Great selection of healthy and delicious food and smoothies. I had one of the warm bowls for lunch and absolutely loved it. Good coffee as well.

Review №13

Acai bowl and dragon fruit bowl were tasteless, they were extremely watered down, it seems. The bee pollen thing was also weird and sandy, and together with the watery flavour of the bowl left the impression that we were eating puddle water or something.

Good açaí bowls, a bit pricy but tasty.

I had the sun god smoothie and was pretty disappointed. The texture was gummy and not that tasty. Given the price, difficult to recommend.

Great place for a amazing fresh pressed juices, broths, açaí bowls, salads and the like! I bring my kids and friends here sometimes. We always find something for everybody. My favorite thing here beside the broth and juices, is the Alchemy bowl. It has superfoods and edible gold! A sweet spot in Santa Monica for sure!

Excellent food and options for an early morning after the farmers market. Try the tofu breakfast burrito and the shroom bowl. Both are excellent choices.

Customer service is outstanding! I ordered the power burrito with the lentil burger mix and the sun god smoothie. Havent tasted the burrito but if it taste anything like this smoothie then this is definitely a must visit for any vegan!😍🤗

The Green açaí bowl is soooo creamy and delicious. Perfect healthy breakfast. The breakfast burritos were really good too. I’m normally not a huge tofu eater but these were so good! Nice outdoor seating.

I got the Build your own, best bowl of my life.

Review №24

Meh. I wanted to like it, I really did. But the juice was overpriced and nothing special. The chips and guac looked and tasted like something you get for free before your meal at a mediocre Mexican place. Bland, tasteless, unimpressive. Outdoor seating was not the cleanest. Three stars for quick service and friendly staff.

Review №25

They make eating healthy cool. Phenomenal local spot for healthy goods like acai bowls, salads and smoothies. They provide wonderful custom service and will make an effort to get to know you if youre a local. Its about a 10 minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier.My personal favorite? Their custom acai bowl with walnuts, bee pollen, bananas, blueberries and goji berries when Im splurging for a special breakfast.Its a very hip little spot that attracts a diverse crowd. Everything on the menu is something you can feel good about putting in your body and to me, that is worth paying a little extra for!

The staff here is so friendly and welcoming. I really like how health conscious it is, the coffee is a little bitter for me, but they have awesome milk options and sweeteners, including agave ! :-* Outdoor seating and a cool indoor vibe too.

Just stopped by for a turmeric soy latte, very good although I ended up sweeting it with sugar cause I didnt taste enough flavour-y. At least it was organic cane sugar..

Best superfood bowls in Santa Monica! Many food and drink options and you can build your own bowl. The bowl was a big serving and super delicious! The restaurant is clean and modern and the staff are friendly! Great healthy option!!

The Alchemy bowl was super filling and beautiful. I just don’t see myself spending $27 after taxes when you dine in again. I’ll try the the power up bowl and see how it is. Cool spot with great music while enjoying your meal.

Just tried this place for the first time, and I am so happy I did! I got the hive burger, which was so yummy. It’s vegan! My friend also tried one of their smoothies and said it was really good. I will definitely be back again!

Review №54

Never get a smoothie from this place! It’s anything but smooth. I got the Sun God yesterday and there were chunks of banana in the bottom. Also, the paper straw basically dissolved after a minute into drinking the smoothie. Overpriced, doesn’t taste good and impossible to drink.

Review №57

Love their fresh juices. They have so many varieties and they are delicious. The staff is not necessarily friendly, not unfriendly. Sort of apathetic and getting their job done. I have only tried the juices and I love them. They are made fresh in front of you while you wait and they have a lot of variety.

There’s a lot of options in Santa Monica for healthy coffee, drinks and food... The Hive is by far the best. With a laid back atmosphere inside and seats in the sun outside. I felt full and healthy when I left. My recommendation is one of their iced coffee!

What an awesome menu! I wish I could have tried everything but I ordered the burrito to try the goji-walnut meat. It was a good choice and I cant wait to come back to try the bowls!

Great spot to get high quality bone broth. They have a wide selection of overpriced bowls you Can get served there, but I just go for the quarts(also expensive, but comparable to most companies that truly ensure the best quality). There are a lot of other health foods available here. Havent gone wrong yet, though Ive mainly come in for drinks and broth.

BE CAREFUL THINKING YOU CAN GET THROUGH ON THE PHONES TO MAKE AN ORDER BECAUSE YOUR TIME WILL BE WASTED. Their phone lines definitely do not work at peak hours SO PHONE ORDERS ARE RARELY POSSIBLE. update 07/27/2018 - Phones are still down. 03/07/2019

Great shop love the coffee but didnt like how a white male who worked there mad dogged me every time I when there very upsetting, the cashier female was very helpful and hot that made up for the disrespect and the constant looking and face making by this guy. Hope yhey fire him or he my get sued for defamation. Would love to go back but after you guy get that kid out he has no business there.

THEY HAVE BONE BROTH!! and a great selection of juices, smoothies, and kombucha blends (strawberry-lime-basil is so good!) They also have tonics, and a nice mix of raw / cooked foods. I am looking forward to their upcoming expanded menu.

Out of all the açaí bowls I’ve had in LA, this place has my favorite! I specifically love the zen protein açaí bowl and I add almond butter on top. It is heathy (has greens, protein, fruit, and healthy fats) plus it is so delicious. Also, their staff is so nice and helpful! Sarah helped me today and she was kind and awesome. Thank you!!!

Review №81

LA prices, but portions are HUGE! The vibe here is sunny and warm, and the food is delicious! We got the protein bowl, mint smoothie, and Worlds Healthiest Tacos with a side of kale chips (yum!) and we are STILL stuffed four hours later. All the food items were tasty! The matcha mint smoothie is extremely matcha-ey, which I enjoyed but could see being overpowering if thats not your thing.Will definitely be back; cant wait to make my own bowl (you can customize your own smoothie, açaí, or chia seed pudding bowl)! =) So glad to have this charming spot in the neighborhood.Update: BREAKFAST BURRITO IS LIFE!!!!! So much avo goodness yum!

Smoothies, sandwiches, acai bowls - everything here is fresh and so delicious! They use an impressive variety of nutrient-rich ingredients, the staff is wonderful and anything you get will give you a nice healthy boost.

Food options are few, but are delicious, light and healthy. The focus is on kombucha and smoothies, which are a bit overpriced. The music is always on point and the owner is the coolest guy. Some of his staff could stand to be more knowledgeable and friendly, though.
