When it comes to sandwiches, most folks focus on what's inside. The meats -- in whatever tasty configuration -- stacked with chosen cheeses, condiments and vegetation for crunch and textural balance. But few people think about the importance of the bread. It is the vessel that holds all the deliciousness together. A new sandwich shop, The Hive, just up from Triangle Park in Emmaus is focusing on hoagie-style sandwiches made with fresh French bread from next-door neighbor, Egypt Star Bakery. Which has mouthwatering bread that makes the sandwich complete, and all your mouth buds open up, and dancing around. The Hive has had a soft opening with a small menu of "whole" and "half" sandwiches. A whole is about two feet long. Options include Italian (honey ham, Genoa salami, capicola with provolone cheese); ham and cheese; turkey and cheese; and tuna. You can also get those options as pita wrap sandwiches. The Hive also has a few sides such as cole slaw, hummus with pita, chips and cheddar mac salad. Since they just opened, give them no time, they will have more selections. This is a must try and support your local new business. We need to keep them around. read more

A cute family owned sandwich shop with great sandwiches. They were doing a soft launch this weekend and are opening up soon! The sandwich was delicious and the owners are so kind. I felt so welcomed and they made sure I had a great experience. If you are ever in Emmaus near the triangle you should definitely stop in and have a sandwich! Not to mention they partner with the bakery next door for their bread. read more

The Hive - The Favo - Sandwiches Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

Emmaus Hive: long time listener; first time caller. I had a tremendous Italian hoagie on Egypt Star Bakery bread. Dietz & Watson salami, ham, Capicola and provolone. The veggies were fresh and the sandwich was dressed with an oil & vinegar blend, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. I like how they cut the sandwich on the horizontal, as it allowed every bite and taste to be even. The sandwich did not fall apart. The inside of the shop is small, but very engaging. I ordered my sandwich at the counter; it was ready for take out in five minutes. I met the owner on my way out, and he's a very nice man who is dedicated to providing a quality product at a reasonable value. I had a half, and it was more than enough for lunch. My total cost with tax was $13 and change. I consider it a good value for the quality of the sandwich. #rushieeats. (No location tag as of this writing) read more

The Hive is the newest Deli/Sandwich shop to open up in Emmaus, I had to give this place a try. When I went they were in the soft opening yet, but they have a lot of potential. The menu is limited at this time but the owner said more is to come soon, I ended up getting a sandwich. It was very good, the bread was excellent and you could tell it was high quality meat on there. The sandwich was also very large for a half. The full sandwich will easily feed more than 1 person. The service was good, the owner was nice and friendly. He was telling me what is vision is for the location, and all his plans sound good. I am looking forward to adding bread items to the menu. The location looks nice and has been freshly remodeled. Everything thing was clean as well. The only only complaint I have with the decor is they have two big TVs that just show the music playing, adding the menus would be a nice touch. Overall all a good place to stop for a good and quick sandwich, I can't wait to see what this place becomes. read more

We ordered a side salad and turkey hoagie. The salad was fresh and included Italian dressing on the side. Tasty. The turkey sandwich was generously loaded with fresh ingredients. All in all, it was a great meal. The waitress was sooooo accommodating. We will be back for a cubano. read more

I stopped by this place looking for a new hoagie spot to try out, and it did not disappoint. I grabbed an Italian and it was well worth it. Fresh bread from a bakery next door, it's hard to beat! Also got lucky enough to meet George, the owner of the place and he threw in a free bag of chips. If you're in the area it's definitely worth stopping by for a hoagie. read more

Delicious sandwiches with fresh meat and outstanding rolls. Bright atmosphere. Very friendly owners. Great sandwich place!

Great sandwich spot on Chestnut St. in Emmaus that opened within the last year. I think it's the best Italian hoagie you can get in town, and the roll they use for them is next level. The roll really makes the sandwich here, it's incredible. Staff is always super friendly too. read more

The roll was the best part. Turkey was tasteless and cheese was meh. Cuban wasn't flavorful.

The Hive is a great new sandwich shop. You hungry for a hoagie or Cuban sandwich this is the spot! You can get a half sandwich for yourself or whole to feed you and your date! I highly recommend them. To top it off owners and workers there great customer service and friendly! Come join the Hive with the rest of us! read more

Well it was our first visit to the Hive at lunch. They had TVs but nothing playing, very quiet. The hoagie we ordered was awesome, bread excellent! My only recomendation is if you are coming in for lunch break from work, order ahead. They have only one person working at lunch to make hoagies. Our order had to wait because a customer came in to pick up an order that was not ready. Then while we were waiting Door Dash came in to pick up an order, still waiting for our order. Any more interruptions we would have our lunch order for supper. So if your on limited time for lunch call ahead it will be worth it. If you walk in at lunch to order you might as well go down to Wawa, plenty of parking and they have more than one person working at lunch. Note to owners: I know you just started your business you need extra help at lunch, would also be nice to take down the wood wall blocking the hoagie making process so you can see the person making the hoagie if they are wearing gloves or not during the process and changing them when they are interupted for a pick up or while using the phone behind the wall while making our our order. Overall we will be back in a few weeks to see if there are any improvements. Hoagies though were fantastic! read more
