A very small place but very popular. The wait to get the coffee is long because of all the individual made specialty coffees. So a simple coffee and tea takes a long time. They should try to find a quick away for that type of coffee. We split an egg sandwich which was very good and very reasonable. The young women running the place are very personable and do a nice job. Its upstairs seating and outside seating.

This is a very popular place with bicyclists. If you don’t have any reservations with seeing those folks then this place is great.Great smoked bacon, lots of gluten free options, as well as vegan or vegetarian options. Everything is delicious. The staff is super professional and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Very good food and waitstaff was great I would definitely recommend this place

Staff was so friendly and cheerful, and the food was absolutely amazing! I was thrilled to see multiple vegan options, and the veggie pot pie was one of the best meals Ive ever had at a restaurant! Cant wait to visit again!

We were traveling and found what we thought to he a good restaurant. Expectations? Exceeded! The veggie pesto sandwich was unreal. The Mediterranean plate was almost better. 5 1/2 stars! And the staff are super helpful.

We come here every week as a family. Its usually a good experience, but recently weve been noticing that they are cutting corners with their food. Sometimes theyll over charge us, deviate from menu prices, or skimp out on our takeout orders. Yesterday is a good example. We ordered three pancakes, but all together. We usually order them seperate, but we figured we could save them the packaging this time. So we grab our order and go home. For each pancake they give us butter and maple syrup. But because it was done as 1 order, they only gave us one butter and and one maple syrup, although it was three pancakes. We called them, and they said, thats just how the order is done since its one order. But to me thats them being cheap and stingy, even though were paying good money for this stuff. Dont be cheap with the customers giving you business every week.

I’ve eaten here once before and have been meaning to come back. I am so glad I did. The food is delicious and the smoothie was incredible.

With a 30 min wait to place the order and a 30 min wait to get our food i thought it was going to be really good, however it was not. We made the mistake of tipping not realizing we had to bus our own table and were told there were seats when we ordered and there were not. When the waitress brought us our food we requested glasses of water and she said she would get them and never came back. Not sure how self bussing ensures the table was clean before we sat down. Especially after I found the table cleaner in the bathroom. Food wasnt bad but not worth the money we paid.

Went for evening tea. They had good choices of tea and other drinks. I had a turmeric chai latte which was good. They had sweets which look good but i did not try. Good service.

Creative, inspiring, and delicious. Each special is so highly unique and utilizes food from local sources! The pastries are phenomenal. Would give 10 stars if possible.

Very good coffees, teas and hot chocolate, and both indoor and outdoor seating, but can take a while to get served

One of our favorite cafes. Amazing breakfasts and best cappuccino around! Cozy atmosphere and great service!

My boyfriend and I visited from out of town. We were looking for healthy food options at a reasonable price. I feel like most places you go now offer only fried food with the same old boring options. This restaurant has fantastic food that was a great price. It was located in such a cute area as well.

Quick, quaint and delicious! Greta place to stop for a light lunch while exploring Bristol.

Great cafe. I had the breakfast burrito and coffee. It was delicious. They have a great second-story balcony area for seating, too. Go there, enjoy the beautiful view, and eat some great food.

Cute. Peaceful. Fast. We came early on a Sunday. Later it seemed to really fill in and it was packed by the time we left. A lot of older people there. Like we were the only diners under 55. I guess that’s just the area. Loved it. The cheddar tomato soup was so good.

Very tasty food. Fast service. Great location. Indoor and outdoor seating. I go here every time I visit!

Great place for a coffee. You can sit at independence park and enjoy the water view.

Delicious! The food was fresh, even the tomato which can be iffy in some places. The atmosphere was fun and cute little bee accents everywhere. You have to try it!

Great atmosphere, fantastic food and dog friendly! Not to mention friendly staff and a nice location near Independence park. I’ve been a few times and will continue to dine here

Delicious food, friendly, helpful staff. We got a wonderful table right away with an ocean view.The food was reasonable, good portions and, again, delicious.

Id give six stars if I could—everything here is amazing. The black bean fritters, the tofu bowl, the salads, the smoothies… excellent, attentive service as well. And a bit of a view of the park and water. Ill be taking people here again!

Great atmosphere and tasty food. The coffee drinks are amazing.

Wonderful food provided by wonderful staff!! I can’t stop coming back for their tasteful and unique dishes. Ask for their honey lavender latte, it’s the buzzz.

Surprisingly good little cafe. Loved the goat cheese farro salad, soup and Japanese pancakes with strawberry rhubarb. Very friendly helpful staff. Not expensive.

Stopped by while traveling through the state, wish I could be a regular!! The food is excellent if a little pricey, but you get what you pay for! I tried the orange ricotta pancakes - deliciously moist with just the right amount of orange. My partner had the beehive biscuits with bacon which were good - I have to assume he liked them more than he let on when I asked as they disappeared from his plate before I could ask to try a bite! He wasnt even that hungry when we went, either.The staff were very polite and helpful, despite the ordering/seating process being a little confusing for us. Place an order at the counter and theyll give you a table marker (ours was a toy panther) with silverware, bring your food and drink to the table of your choosing, but never come back to check on you or see if you need anything else. Read some reviews after we went and didnt realize we were supposed to self-bus? Of the three other parties that were dining in, only one cleared off their own table so Im not sure if that review is accurateTL;DR: food is yummy and worth the price, would come back if Im ever in the area again.

Good food. Cute location. Great coffee.

Love the music here and their chai tea is delicious and their honey almond cake is so moist!

Small, quaint, and airy in the summer, this is a lovely little coffee shop (& restaurant!) in a lovely little town. I sat out on the sidewalk but definitely giving the rooftop seating a try next time. Staff is young and friendly and the menu is exciting. Coffee is obviously delicious as are the baked goods. A must-visit when in Bristol!

Best blueberry and lemon muffin wr have had in a long while.

Brunch here is always delicious. They have many gluten free and vegan options. Tried the hot chocolate coffee drink - was so good. Sometimes there is a wait for a table but its worth it. Great little spot.

Cute & cool little coffee spot! Very cute bunch hipster spot! May need to wait for space to sit if the outdoor patio isn’t open. Not a ton of room to work/ stay (which is what I like do at coffee shops). I would recommend getting there early if you plan on doing work.

Unique menu with interesting twists on many common dishes. Friendly staff and low key ambience. I had a grilled cheese with pan fried chick peas. Located at the Bristol end of east bay bike path from Providence, great to replenish for the return trip

Lots of great options on the menu and excellent ingredients. This applies to main courses, appetizers, and baked goods. Oh, and the beverages are awesome as well!

Unique and adorable coffee shop, highly recommended.The Breakfast Burrito and Butternut Cornbread Hash were great. They had limited seating, but after a short wait we were able to sit in the outdoor rooftop area.

Great spot for breakfast or sandwiches and coffee. the sweet potato sandwich is great.

I dont give 5 stars out of principle but this place deserves it. Its a very cute cafe bakery downstairs and a restaurant upstairs (they sell beer, wine, and possibly hard liquor). The atmosphere is warm and pleasant. And the food. The food is incredible. The Beehive specializes in vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, so everyone has something they can really enjoy (they serve meat, dairy, and gluten products too). Everything tastes healthy and fresh, the portion sizes are perfect, and you dont feel gross after you eat. The desserts are also amaaaazing (the mint chocolate chip cake is probably the best thing Ive ever eaten). The service is great too! Everyone is so friendly. In the summer theres outside seating & a deck as well. Highly recommend.

Nice spot. Happy it was open on Monday. Mustve come in as the staff needed a break cause they were much nicer to other who came in after we were served. So, one less star for begrudging service.I tried the golden latte...spicy good. My mom had a perfectly pumpkin latte. Flavor was on point, but the latte was sloshed during the pour, so the cup was swimming on delivery. That sloppiness doesnt behoove a nice spot like this. Sticky sipping really detracts from the special visit. A quick wipe and new saucer wouldve made a much nicer experience.A bit more attention to detail could make this place 100%

Great morning date spot!

Lovely, colorful, comfortable atmosphere. Impressive pastries and quality coffee.

Cute, quaint, charming, and delicious :) bring both appetite and money.

Great food! Excellent service!

Friendly service, great food and I love that are eco conscious. You wont regret trying this place. The food and drinks are delicious.

The Beehive Cafe is an adorable neighborhood gem in Bristol, RI. It’s the perfect way to end a ride along the East Bay Bikepath. I’ve gone two times and you can definitely expect a wait on the weekends, but it’s worth it. You’ll have to wait in line to order at the counter, but hopefully you’ve brought along a friend who can snag a table somewhere for you. The polenta cakes with poached eggs and pesto are divine. Exactly the kind of thing you want to refuel you for the ride back home. The crispy chickpeas are *addictive.* Oh my goodness. You’ll be craving them for days!

Delicious food, but customer service is lacking.

Friendly staff and good healthy food. The black bean burger is amazing

Good service fresh food. The black bean burger is amazing

I got their supposedly popular breakfast burrito, and it was pretty bad in my opinion. The beans tasted as if they were right out of a can, not even strained. The hash browns and the burrito had a strange taste to it as well... almost like a “clean” taste, but not the good kind of “clean” taste, rather the “clean” taste that reminds you of cleaning chemicals. I would give two stars, but the tea was good so I gave three. Maybe their other food is better. I’d steer clear of the breakfast burrito though! Not worth the price either. The cafe was cute and had nice outdoor seating and made good accommodations for COVID-19.

Always a great place for a snack or a meal.

Super friendly service and loved every bite of breakfast!

Cute spot right by the water in the heart of Bristol. Friendly staff who are taking covid very seriously and assuring our safety as customers. I ordered the biscuits for breakfast and enjoyed with a hot mocha latte. Everything was tasty and fresh. I will definitely be returning.

This place is amazing. Real unusual and healthy food. Their coffee is amazing, steaming hot in a mug. 5 stars for sure!

This place is cute and clean. Filled with polite professional employees. I bought a turkey sandwich 🥪 and it was S rank quality. They put a pseudo newspaper piece down in your to go box which gives it lovely touch.

Breakfast is definitely their specialty. I ordered a burger and wasn’t impressed. My boyfriend’s cornbread hash was amazing. Great flavors and textures. The carrot cake was also perfect. Very moist.

Great smoothies, friendly staff, lots of options for healthy food, bakery food, etc. Solid take-out/safe covid situation as well.

Responsible for some of the best breakfast meals Ive ever had 😁 Great spot.

Delicious homemade sausage breakfast sandwich

My husband and I dined here for lunch. The menu is interesting, and our food was excellent. Sadly, our positive experience was undermined by a sirly, rude waitress. When we asked about how we should bus our table (nowhere are there any clear instructions), she snarled that she would do it. She grabbed our plates, dropped then into bin at the end of the room, and stomped away. Would I return? Yes, as long as she is not there.

Black Bean Burger and Chick Peas side...delicious!

Loud, chaotic atmosphere. Concerned for cleanliness and for attention to detail. Cold eggs, cold toast, sausage tasted like “crushed up meatballs” as I heard the table behind us say. Received 2 wrong sides. Why did they give me a salad on top of my omelette?

I went to The Beehive Cafe with a couple of friends. It was about a couple years ago since I had gone. I live far away so I dont go often. I had a fabulous meal and a great time. And the coffee was delicious.

If you like peanut butter cookies like I do, then run to. Beehive! Delicious! 🌈

We go here often and the food is usually great, but yesterday we had a very disappointing experience. We didn’t receive a text saying our order was ready, but went in to check just in case at the time the original email estimated. Our food was on the table and was obviously sitting there for a long time- everything was cold. My boyfriend’s omelette was undercooked and runny, my egg was ice cold, and my drink was cold. Luckily my French toast still tasted good cold, and we just shared that. We would have gone back if we hadn’t walked to the park to eat it. It was a shame because the food is usually worth the price and the drive. We’re pretty understanding about the fact that covid is stressful for businesses and that it was pretty busy, but when the food is inedible it’s just not cool. We ended up getting the “your food is ready” text about 10 minutes after we started eating our already cold food...

Great Vegan options

This place was absolute garbage. The breakfast sausage in the omelette tasted, and looked, like they crushed up meatballs and said it was sausage. If you’ve had a real breakfast before DO NOT come here bc you will be disappointed.

One of the many quaint restaurants and cafes in Bristol that give the whole area that New England-ish feel. The food is great and the drinks are very caffeinated! Street parking makes it easy to drive to and the Beehive makes for a good reward after biking or hiking the bike path through Colt State Park.Not many seats for a long morning inside, but the nearby parks are an adequate alternative.

Absolutely delicious food!

The appetizers, main courses, and baked desserts are fantastic. Everything is prepared quickly. Love the fried chickpeas! And we just tried the vegetable pot pie. Big yum!

Still very decent food but in this Age of Covid they could use a little more organization about protocol in ordering and seating, inside and outside. Definitely clean and sanitary procedures apparent, but staff seemed a bit scattered and this becomes noticeable and confusing to customers.

I had always love this little place. Great breakfasts, lunch, and dinner or just a snack. Comfortable but at times very busy but all good places will be. The help hustle to serve everyone here.

Went there earlier today for dinner, had the baked mac and cheese with smoked ham, it was to die for and I absolutely cannot recommend it enough. The view is great, and the whole place has the cutest comfiest vibe ever.

Lovely little place. Great food and friendly service.

Listen. This place serves a turkey hash that is like nothing else Ive tried. The restaurant is very small but super cozy and fills up fast. If youre in the area, definitely visit this gem!

Food was flavorful and fresh. Portions were on the smaller size which isnt always a bad thing. Online ordering system was a bit cumbersome but food was worth the struggle.

Walked through the door cashier was a little uptight. Coffee pretty good. Very cute decor! Pretty quick service . Echo friendlyUpstairs you can eat lunchGive it a try. !

Somewhat funky atmosphere with a small but ecclectic menu, including vegan and vegetarian choices. Food is reasonably priced and our meals have been well prepared on several visits. During the day one orders from the counter and seats themselves. At night there are servers and service has been consistently good. Highly recommended for a casual, quick and thrifty experience.

Its a wonderful place to relax and have a drink and some great food. The cookis great, he really cares about the way the plate of food taste as well as it looks. And you will love the atmosphere.I really enjoyed the time I spent there.

I went there for breakfast to meet a friend of mine who I havent seen in a long time. We had a great breakfast and sat for almost 2 hours. Despite the lines, nobody push us out or Rusyed us. Food was great. Apparently, its a well-known Institution in the area and highly sought-after for a great breakfast meal. What you see in their website is exactly how it feels but thats the fun of it. If you are in the area, I think its a place not to be missed

Adorable and quaint little spot for breakfast. They were quick and the food was delicious! But the bacon was almost too crispy, it fell apart as I took a bite into it.

So good! Very cute homey spot. Vegetarian friendly and some vegan options. Definitely coming back when Im in town.

We purchased pulled chicken sandwiches were dry and hard to chew. Had to stand in line then clear your own dishes for not worth $33. The bun and mocha cold coffee were good.

The waitress was very rude.As I was told by other customers,place youre order while you find a place to sit. My husband proceeded to sit ,asI stood in line to place our order.The waitress said he had to leave from the seating area because,there might have been ahead of us looking for seating.He .left the table ,but stated to her that there was other people sitting also , prior to him ,but she didnt ask them to not sit there.I decided to leave ,due to the in welcome waitress.The food might be good ,but the service killed it for me !!!

Great local spot, everyone who works here is really nice and they have great pastries and food. Its nice to sit outside when the weather is good!

The food was good and the Beehive Cafe was most certainly busy, so plan to wait if youre arriving on a weekend morning. With that said, Im only giving the Beehive three stars because of the price. Why should a good, not great, breakfast place charge you $75 with tip for three people? Want an additional cup of coffee? Prepare yourself to pay for a refill. At least a side of bacon was only $4.00.

We used to love The Beehive Cafe...until our experience at our last visit.Youll be as confused as we all were.We went around lunch time, it was very busy with a line to the door. We planned on eating at the cafe but when it was time to order we took a look around and there were no tables open for our party of 4. We asked the 2 female employees if there were open tables upstairs, they said they hadnt been up there recently so they didnt know. We checked, there wasnt. So we told the employee to just make our order to-go because we wouldnt be guaranteed a table.After waiting about 30 minutes in a very congested area and receiving several rude excuse mes from the employees, we grabbed our food and headed out the door. On our way out, we noticed there was an open table outside for 4 people. This restaurant is seat yourself, so we decided wed sit there and eat instead.I went inside to ask for utensils, which they hand out at the register. A female employee and a male manager were standing behind the counter when I requested them. She said how many do you need? I said 4. She then handed me the utensils, paused and said oh your food was to-go and took the utensils out of my hand. I said yes, thinking they would give me plastic utensils instead. NOPE!The male manager said if you order food to-go then you arent welcome to sit and eat and they refused to give me any utensils to eat the food that I just ordered from their restaurant!I explained that we originally ordered to-go because there were no tables available and now there is a table so we are sitting outside. He said no, our policy doesnt allow you to sit and eat. I said, but I just paid and got our food, were sitting out there because theres an open table, youre telling us we have to leave?? He said yes thats our policy. Being so confused, I stopped to let this sink in as the female employee stared at me with the most annoyed, unpleasant look. I asked, why is that your policy? I didnt know if I was missing something or was unaware of a local code so I was looking for a better understanding. He said thats just our policy.I went out to the patio, confused and shocked to explain to my group that they were making us leave. They thought I was joking. The 3 other tables of customers heard my story and encouraged me to go back in and talk to the owner. They all agreed, as paying customers, like them, we should be able to eat there.We went back inside and asked for the owner and some further understanding. They said the manager already spoke with the owner and he isnt allowing us to stay. We expressed how it didnt make any sense and that we wouldnt be returning if they wouldnt allow us to sit and eat our meals that we JUST purchased from their SEAT YOURSELF establishment. The females response? Okay then, dont come back. They couldnt care less. Classless, insulting, unpleasant, zero customer service. Zero kindness. So disappointing, as their food is good. But not that good. Not good enough to be treated like they dont value our business. Its so disturbing that there are people in this world that think its okay to treat others with no humanity...

This is a fantastic cafe! The line moves quickly but expect it to be busy. The coffee, food, and baked goods are great. Its a good place to get a drink to go or sit and enjoy a delicious brunch.

The restaurant is clearly trying to do more than they can actually do. The food is just okay. The coffee is solid! But being told by three different waitstaff that you should not sit down when you really aren’t trying to find a spot while TWO other people are breaking their policy is frustrating and very confusing. The atmosphere and service make it definitely a place to not go especially with kids.

Great little neighborhood spot, with breakfast their forte. The butternut cornbread hash is insanely good, as is the rosemary biscuit. And dont skip the house made sausage. Small venue, with limited table seating. They get busy, so be prepared to wait. Dinners are quiet, but well done. Their macaroni is ridiculously delicious.

First time customer at the Beehive, and it was phenomenal!!! Loved every mouthful. The ingredients were so fresh and delicious - and healthy! I had the salmon BLT. And everything was priced so reasonably! Oh, and our server was a delight, adding to the enjoyment of the evening. Cant wait to go back when next in Bristol!

Nestled in a beautiful little community near a quaint harbor. The Cornbread Butternut Squash Hash was a delightful breakfast dish rich in flavor and texture.

Good, Okay and huh? The breakfast is really good here. We ordered the french toast and the pancakes the french toast was amazing. The pancakes were unfortunately heavy and dry. The okay part is paying upfront. We didn’t mind its just kinda weird in this market to pay upfront when other restaurants do that transaction after the meal. The table seating is confusing and that was never explained to us. Basically, when you order and pay, you are given a marker. You have to take that marker (in our case it was horse) and bring it to a table. Then the servers know where to go with the food. The huh part was that we had to also pay for a tip upfront? After the breakfast was brought to us, we ate and then brought the dishes over to a bucket upstairs. Essentially, we cleaned off the table ourselves. Think about that when you are paying for the tip upfront. Overall this place gets a B. The rating is only for the food. Service is lacking.

This place is exceedingly lovely. A great place for lunch for everyone, friendly options for vegetarians/vegans/gluten intolerant people. I had the butternut squash sandwich (which was be made vegan) and it was incredibly tasty. They also have vegan cake options and muffins. Friendly staff and cozy feels in this lovely little establishment.

I had bean burger: it was DELICIOSO!!!!

I have been there multiple times and every time I leave feeling very satisfied with the food. It tastes great and is healthy food. Treats there are yummy, drinks are perfect. If your in Bristol RI you NEED to try this place!!!

My favourite spot in Bristol! The killer bee ice coffee is what kept me going through college and banana bread that rivals my moms! Everything is excellent and when I come back to visit college friends I always ask to meet there! Also you must try the Mac n cheese! no questions, just do it, youll thank me 😁

Fantastic food!

Great breakfast spot. Good coffee. You can tell they use quality ingredients in the meals they make. Very home like feel. Great atmosphere.

My husband and I use to live in Bristol and frequently came here - staff was always so kind and food was always so great. Came back for lunch for old times sake, I ordered a coffee and husband ordered a beer. Ask for his ID, I understand because we’re baby faced but after checking his ID they then apparently needed to see mine too. Rubbed me the wrong way because the woman behind the counter seemed determined to nail us for being too young to drink a singular beer, that wasn’t even intended for me to drink, with lunch that she forgot what we ordered and we wound up having to repeat it back to her. We’re use to constantly being asked for ID even as we push 30, but what isn’t cool is when it clearly becomes a power trip for someone. And then on top of all this they forget the beer. I asked when they brought the food if his beverage was also on the way since it hadn’t been called out downstairs nor had it been brought to us and the busser/server turned in her heel without a word got it, brought it to him, and when he said thanks! With genuine sincerity in his voice because he doesn’t get frustrated like I do, she still didn’t say anything back like no problem or a sorry about that. Bummer, loved this place and it had always been a special treat to us but the service is what kept us coming back in addition to the yummy food.

Very chill environment. Drinks are very tasty. I ordered a London Fog. The tea is fresh and the steamed milk was great. The second floor patio is small and quaint. I’d recommend you stop in if you’re in Bristol on a sunny afternoon.

Excellent Food. Their are a few indoor tables, they also have a second level with more tables. In the warm weather there is also outdoor tables. It is a small place with limited seating but food and drink is excellent. Has the feeling of an old colonial building. Staff is friendly and fast.
