Over the course of 48 hours I came here three times for beverages and treats and once for lunch. All my friends ordered the BLT and we all loved it. The chickpea side dish is wonderful. I can't recommend the unsweetened blueberry iced tea enough. Its perfect for a hot day! read more

Visited Bristol from Virginia this weekend, our group came here twice. Why? Immaculate vibes, friendly & professional service, excellent food & drinks. 2 of us are vegetarian, and the menu was an unexpected surprise. I tried a maple latte, which was not-too-sweet fall perfection, then a candy apple (a cider drink) which is too-sweet but perfect. (I love a sweet bev!) Egg sandwich + hash browns was my fave item to eat. It was much busier on Sunday vs Monday, we easily found a table today & enjoyed the assortment of hot sauces. Love this place & would be a regular were I a local! read more

This airy outpost of the downtown location offers ready to eat quiche, Stromboli, salads and other quick bites along with their many baked in house creations and brilliant hot and cold beverages. My favorite is the Choco-banana- buzz (why has this not existed before?!?) alongside a cupcake. Yum! The bakery sells pies and sides during holiday seasons that are lifesavers for the home cook also. Have a sip and a seat outside next time you need a midday pick me up ! read more

Thanks for making sure my takeout bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was completely bacon and cheese free! You must be watching out for my health. After all, who wouldn't enjoy an unseasoned fried egg served bone-dry on a roll with a smattering of bland arugula and a slice of unripened tomato. I'm told this masterpiece cost $12.00, too. Seriously, when this place is running right, it's quite good. It's just running right so rarely that it's frustrating to come here. read more

Let me start by saying I had pretty good experiences previously but this recent one will be our last visit. During the week I went with my fiancé and family. The young man working the counter was rude in his answers and rolled his eyes when I asked about an ingredient due to an allergy. Upon receiving our food, my yogurt and fruit bowl came out in a piping hot ceramic dish to the point it was already curdling. I am pregnant. I didn't notice before eating a few bites already and I felt unwell soon after doing so. When brought up to staff by my family, the manager supposedly refunded the card but nothing ever came. Please teach your staff food safety as that shouldn't have ever left your kitchen that way. read more

I know it's horrible to hear, but I'm not a fan of breakfast in general. I hear all the time "it's the most important meal of the dayyyy" to which I answer like the adult I am with sticking my tongue out and blowing them a raspberry. When I find a breakfast place that I actually like, it's a pretty big deal indeed, so when we found beehive, it was pretty great. We found beehive on a sunny sunday morning, and the place was busy but not packed. We stood in line, placed our order, and took a seat in the outdoor dining area on the patio. The menu is impressive for multiple reasons. Firstly, I was shocked and delighted with their beverage options including matcha, turmeric, oat milk, and lots of gourmet smoothies. Second, their vegetarian and vegan options are super delicious, definitely not an afterthought like many other restaurants. Thirdly, they take risks with the menu and it's not boring We ordered a morning glory muffin to see how it stacks up to others we've had in the area and it was good. The beverages we ordered were also good, my matcha oat milk latte was delicious but really lumpy and needed more attention than it was given. His iced coffee was delicious to the point he went back and ordered a second. For the main courses, he opted for a choice off the specials menu, a stack of the gigantic cinnamon roll pancakes, which were delicious with crispy frosting bits, and packed with flavor. I ordered the butternut squash breakfast sando with spiced chickpeas instead of potatoes. My sandwich was on homemade bread which was a nice touch, but I did ask to add mushrooms and there was only one mushroom on the entire sandwich. Overall, the beehive is second to none in this area for plant based and vegetarian/vegan selections while being delicious and nutricious. That doesn't stop them from having braised pork belly or cinnamon roll pancakes for more traditional breakfast lovers too. The prices are good, service is fast, and there's convenient parking at the park on the corner. I will absolutely be back and can't wait to try other things on their menu! read more

We went to Bee Hive on a Sunday afternoon (January 14). For three of us, it was $54.22. We had one breakfast burrito bowl, one maple bacon pancake, one sausage and cheese English muffin sandwich, a hot chocolate and two coffees. The burrito bowl and pancake were both very delicious. The hot chocolate was watery tasting. The English muffin was some kind of hard, cold biscuit thing. We were not told they didn't have a regular English muffin. Furthermore, they have an egg sandwich on the menu with a side for $10. Our 13 year old wanted just sausage and cheese, no egg. They charged $17 for just the sandwich, with no side. The man ringing us out tried to ring up the sandwich so we wouldn't be charged $17 and another woman came over and said, "too bad, that's what it is." I have no problem paying for good food, but the sandwich was terrible and they charged as if we were adding sausage to the egg sandwich and then didn't offer a side with it. I also, didn't appreciate the attitude of the person to just say, "too bad" as if paying $17 for a breakfast sandwich was completely normal. We also didn't see anyone wipe down any of the tables while we were there for about 45 minutes but several groups of people cycled through. The place is very cute, but would like to see tables without crumbs on them. Update: thank you Sherry for looking up the order and clarifying. I've sent you my email to forward me the receipt. And thank you for the apology on behalf of your staff member and unclean tables. I stand by my review that the English muffin was cardboard and the hot chocolate was watery. I can appreciate things being made from scratch, that usually means they will taste better than what we received. Also, the breakdown of the sandwich cost could have been communicated at checkout so that we could've made a different decision about the sandwich. read more

Amazing breakfast in Bristol! I was out here for a wedding and decided to stop in for breakfast. When you walk in, you order ahead at the counter and then they bring the food to you wherever you sit. They give you a little dinosaur or animal toy as the "number" for them to find you, which I thought was adorable. We ended up sitting down upstairs because it was a bit brisk. There's a good amount of seating upstairs or on their little patio, but it's still a small restaurant. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and buttermilk pancakes to split. Both of these were phenomenal - super fresh and delicious. We also ordered a cinnamon roll as another small treat. This might have been the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. It was crispy on the outside but soft and gooey in the middle - so good! Highly recommend this breakfast place next time you're in Bristol. Next time I'm in town, I will definitely be coming back here! read more

I hate writing bad reviews. But this food was just so yucky. Except for the bread- the bread was very good. The decorations are very cute. It's very hipster-y. But this place entirely ruined breakfast sausage for me. read more

Great breakfast! I had scrambled eggs with black beans and pico de Gallo (side of chickpeas - very unique). A bunch of amazing small batch hot sauces to pick from. Free refills on coffee. Great scenic location (seating is upstairs and overlooks water). The counter service was quick and very polite. I plan on coming back again with my family! Returned for lunch and knocked two star off. Much better breakfast than lunch. AVOID the grilled chicken at all cost. They clearly have a microwave in back. Chicken was beyond rubberish. I could not eat it. Also the place, due to popularity gets overrun (Newport crowd?). read more

When I first went to The Beehive Cafe a year ago it was a lot better than it was last week. The food is still decent thankfully. But the staff... the false website information and instagram posts. I understand there may have been ownership changes but that means updating your socials and website as well. We went for a girls brunch hoping to have some mimosas & or boozy coffees (when you google mimosas this place pops right up) and last year I got them at this cafe... but this time when we went to order them since it's on their website the very young woman laughed at us & when I stated it was on their social media and website she had no response. Update your website. Archive your photos of the drinks if you don't serve it anymore. Be better as a small business. read more

The food was decent. The scones were a bit dry and crumbly for my taste. The cinnamon roll was better than I expected - although all the cinnamon and sugar was crammed to the middle. I get the negative reviews about the lack of seating and the odd vibe of just staring at people while waiting for a spot. My recommendation would be to stop by here or the pantry, grab your goodies and be on about your way rather than sitting and eating at either. read more

I'll be generous and go with four stars because my egg nog latte to go was truly excellent. However, I did not appreciate the service here at all. I walked in and was not greeted; the person working the counter ignored me when I entered (even though there were no other customers there) then carried on a conversation with another employee. After standing around for a bit, I was finally asked for my order. Great latte and cute ambience but the attitude and service of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. I also didn't appreciate that the staff person was wearing a neck gaiter as a face mask as these have been shown to be less effective the standard masks for reducing the risk of COVID. The best thing about this place is you can take your coffee to go and enjoy a latte by the ocean in the park just down the street. The neck gaiter made me very quick to get my coffee and get out. read more

This is the place for coffee and treats in Bristol. If you're taking the morning ferry to Prudence Island, stop here on your way to grab and go for a morning caffeine and sugar rush.

We found this cafe after the original diner we were planning to go to was randomly closed. I was sold immediately just from the pictures of the food. I was a little surprised when we went in because it didn't look much like a restaurant - more like a coffee and a quick muffin place. But the menus are set aside, you order and then sit upstairs. Your breakfast is brought right to your table. My husband got the pulled pork eggs Benedict and I got the beehive biscuits, which was a rosemary biscuit with tomato, poached egg, 4-cheese sauce, and spinach. I also opted to get bacon on mine. Everything was delicious, the service was super quick, and everyone was really nice and hospitable. My only disappointment with this place was that it was expensive. Two breakfast dishes and two coffees came to $30. Not terrible - but more than I expected. However, the cost won't deter me from coming back. The dishes that I saw some others get looked delicious, too, and I definitely want to come back to try those!! read more

Basically their food is good but they lack in service not checking specific online special instructions causing unnecessary trips back to the restaurant. Today I asked for my salad dressing on the side with extra dressing. When I got home the lettuce had already been dressed and wilted and only one extra dressing included in the order. Last time I asked for a specific bread and was given the item on a roll. They need to pay more attention read more

This was a great surprise. I'm not in Bristol often and this place was wonderful. I didn't give it 5 stars because I was confused on what to do when I walked in, so I just stood in the Order line and then was told that we needed to order. We were given a metal rhino to pick a table and that the waitress would find us when our food was ready. We wanted to sit outside, but all tables were booked so we found a place upstairs that got a breeze. My Moroccan lentil salad was delicious and I would totally have it again. read more

Wow. I used to reallyyyyy like this place. My fatash is still going to eat here in a month though lol. But my mind is hurting- a migraine methinks- trying to rationalize what just happened to me. I feel like I was drugged and am trying to remember what happened in the night of whimsy allure. It's 3:25, 35 minutes prior to their closing. A bumbling brunette male informs us their kitchen closes in five minutes. How odd, their website says it closes at 4. My first suggestion: write the real closing time. I read 4, I think 4, I assume 4. Don't pee in my mouth and tell my it's rain. But, I digress, five minutes. Sure, I'll bite. I wait there with my two sisters and father waiting to have our orders taken. Mr. Trigger Happy is clicking the iPad, chomping at the bit for 3:30 to appear and kick us from the establishment and an old woman is seemingly using a credit card for the first time in her entire life. It's beginning to be clear that we will not be serviced today. The little guy finally gets to kick us out and his face is donned with utter glee. "Our kitchen is officially closed! Sorry if you waited for no reason!" Confused, we leave. Hmmmmm...sorry? No the f*** you are not. Why not ask us, the final people in line, to shut the door so no further customer walk in? Why kick out paying customers prior to closing? If you are so sorry, take my freaking order. News flash: it would have been farro and goat cheese salad. Better yet, if you're so sorry, fire giggle pants. Mans was RARING to exercise his power trip fetish. We left, calm your tits pal. read more

I don't know if it's possible to fall in love with a piece of cake but that happened to me here! We stopped in to have a nice mocha latte and I was seduced by their sample of handmade granola bars (delicious)so I purchased one to go and a piece of lemon cake with blueberries that sounded lovely. It was definitely love at first bite though! It was the most deliciously moist cake I've ever had and I'm sad to think I live three and a half hours away and won't be able to just stop by any time! This café and the people who work here are lovely by the way. I will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items! read more

The food definitely saved this place. Staff was really conceited. Brunette at the front was snobby and rude. We didn't really have any idea of how their system works, (somewhat reminded me of a Panera bread) where you order at the front and get your food delivered. Then no clue whether to take our dishes somewhere or not. Pretty granola liberal vibes, which I'm not necessarily opposed to but we really didn't feel welcomed or anything in regards to comfortable for a place that's trying to be a "cozy cafe" the Americano was delicious and the food was really good. Will probably go back but with a much more closed mind. Especially if the lady at the front is working again. read more

Always look forward to the wonderful food when visiting the area. Service is fantastic too. Eggs w cornbread squash spinach is amazing.

I want to like this place so much more than I actually do. The food on its own is a solid five stars. The butternut squash hash is delicious. The biscuit is to-die-for. The coffee is correct-and we are huge coffee snobs. And you can always grab a coffee and a pastry, walk across the street, and eat on a bench by the harbor. But: the service. And more than that, the attitude. There are usually several servers milling around behind the counter, but it can be impossible to get their attention. They don't keep track of what they've run out of; multiple times, I've had a server track me down to say they don't have what I've already ordered and paid for. And then there's the seating policy. Once you've ordered and paid, you're a given a plastic animal as a table marker, and only then can you find a seat. Your food is eventually brought to you, but you need to go back and fetch your own drinks. So you're ordering food (eggs, pancakes) that can't reasonably be eaten standing up but without any sense of whether you'll have a place to sit. And several staff members can be very snarky about how they communicate this. So go to the Beehive if you have a high tolerance for confusion and insults. I'm going to look for a breakfast place that truly wants my business. read more

E excellent food, very quaint surroundings. The only thing I don't like is the ordering at the counter and then them bringing the food out to you. It would be much nicer to have table service. The excellent food makes up for it...Highly recommend! read more

Just stopped in for an iced coffee, quite the line but it moved quickly. All the food being served looked good. I asked for whatever coffee flavor syrup that they made there which was just the caramel, it didn't really blend into the coffee at all and just sank. Would like to try food here. Minimal seating, probably just grab it and go sit by the ocean. Nice employees, friendly. read more
