The Hive Superfood Eats & Organic Cafe - Santa Monica on Postcard

"COVID-19 Update: Open for pickup and delivery. You can learn everything you need to know about this place from the menu displayed when you walk in: There’s a section devoted entirely to avocado appetizers, another to a fairly extensive offering of bone broth elixirs, kombucha on tap, and adaptogens sprinkled throughout. The comfort food is of the mushroom panini variety—which, at the Hive, means not just sautéed portobello, but also reishi, cordyceps, and maitake with goat cheese, green onion, and white truffle oil (kale chips side optional). Order at the counter and take a seat indoors or outside, or grab and go if you’re looking for a quick post-workout smoothie. COVID-19 Disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting. Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety regulations. "

I’ve been here a couple of times now. Whenever I visit Santa Monica. I love this place. I love the options for healthy eating. I’ve just about tried everything now on the menu lol. They have some great Gluten Free and vegan options as well as baked goods. The smoothie bowls are nice and big quite filling. The breakfast is all day and they have some good food on there. They also have a cute little shop on the side wall. With snacks and merch. Definitely a nice place to come to and get some work done or just have a nice little break. It’s also not that far from the pier. Only a 8 minute walk.

I am on a journey to better health. Vegan food is a mistery to me. At first I was afraid to try this vegan burrito 🌯. I have to say it is very delicious 🤤 and the salsa is the perfect combo. Burrito was not oily as some vegan called food is. A definitely must try if you want to have a very healthy and tasty 😋 meal. It is so wholesome I was only able to eat half. More for later though 😋

Delicious vegan options! We ordered the breakfast burrito and the matcha pancakes (gluten free). The service was exceptional and the staff share their joyful, positive energy with all their patrons. Do yourself a favor, walk away from the chain restaurants that surround the pier and eat at the Hive. You will not regret it.

We need more of these in the world. We had a smoothie bowl, pecan donut, smoothie, and avo toast. It was all perfect. Exactly what we needed.

I got a BYO warm bowl doordashed! I had quinoa, cilantro, sweet corn, cucumber, tomatoes, pulled chicken, salmon, hemp seeds, and the cilantro lime vinaigrette on the side. The portion size was good for a light healthy lunch —‘if you’re not looking for something heavy or eating lunch a couple hours before a workout, the BYO bowl is a good option here. I liked how the vinaigrette portion wasn’t overwhelming either, dressing and sauces and seem to be overdone usually at restaurants so it’s good to see the hive is actually intentional and health conscious with this. The utensils are also earth friendly. Overall the bowl was good; the only thing is the salmon add on was a bit expensive for the size of it. But would recommend the hive for a healthy light lunch!!!

I ordered a smoked salmon omelet with "mushroom carnitas" on the side and a Green Hornet smoothie. This breakfast cost me $30 and was terrible. The omelet was rubbery, extremely dry, and there was barely any salmon in it. The mushrooms were way too salty and also dry. It tasted like everything was made days ago. The smoothie was ok but I had to force it down. Definitely not something I would have again. I probably wouldn't have left this review if the service was the least bit friendly. There was no one at the counter when I walked in but when a guy did appear, he didn't greet me or crack a smile. He just said "Order to pick up?", then "Name?" Handed me the order without thanking me. I can't see this place lasting long, unless my experience was a one off.
