Friendly service, really tasty pastries, pretty decent coffee too. Service a little slow during morning rush but overall am happy with this place and would come back for another croissant.

Love Hive...the food, the people, the everything! Breakfast every day (lunch is awesome too if you skip the larger than life breakfast!), decent coffee, amazing bacon & egg roll or mushroom & halloumi roll, toasties to order, avo on bread of choice...lunch options were always endless and delish when I could fit it in! Though not sure ‘gluten-free’ is much of an option unless you’re going for salad Love the people here most of all - I’ll go out of my way to start my workday here as long as I’m working in the city!

We are a sizeable company on Eagle Street and we ordered Melbourne Cup Catering from Hive this year. The food was absolutely delicious, some beautiful salad (not just stock standard garden salad), vegetables and wonderfully cooked and tasty meat. The herbed chips were a massive hit, especially with gravy!! The price we paid for the portions we recieved was unbelievable. Alex was so helpful throughout the ordering process, and very professional. She gave us plenty of time to chop and change our numbers and called to confirm the order a few days before. She is also very quick at replying to emails. Finally, on the day itself we rung very last minute and had to change our delivery time - quite a pain for them I'm sure. They were very flexible and nothing but lovely throughout the whole process. Highly recommend Hive for your catering needs!
