HIVE Bakery & Cafe

Love the main dining and outdoor seating areas but not a fan of the back-room area as it’s extremely loud and doesn’t feel connected to the restaurant.

The pancakes are delicious! Yum!
I love their tomato soup, but the grilled cheese isn’t cheesy enough.
Pastries are great!
Lobster roll is yummy!

Free parking area in the back and lots of street parking around. Also, think there’s a valet as well.

So darling and delightful! Great atmosphere with very friendly servers. Yvonne recommended the breakfast potatoes and they did not disappoint. They were perfect next to the Sourdough Scramble. We had to pick up some yummy cookies and baked goods on our way out as well. Add this to your list when you are in West Palm Beach!

A Morning of Enchantment at Hive Bakery & Café

On a sun-drenched morning in West Palm Beach, my friends and I found ourselves stepping into a realm of culinary delight and botanical beauty at Hive Bakery & Café. Located at the vibrant heart of 1603 S. Dixie Hwy, this chic café promised a breakfast experience wrapped in elegance and warmth, a promise it kept from the moment we entered.

The greenroom, where we dined, was an oasis of tranquility and exquisite beauty, adorned with hanging orchids that seemed to dance in the light filtering through the windows. The ambiance was a captivating blend of nature and nourishment, setting the stage for a breakfast experience unlike any other.

Our table was a canvas of fresh-baked pastries, each a testament to the café's commitment to scratch-made excellence. The pastries, varying in textures and tastes, were flawlessly executed, marrying quality with flavor in every bite. My choice, the eggs Benedict, was a revelation in its simplicity and execution — perfectly poached eggs atop a golden, crisp English muffin, all brought together by a velvety hollandaise sauce. My friends explored other breakfast dishes, each echoing the freshness and culinary craftsmanship that Hive Bakery & Café is renowned for.

Service at Hive is not just a process but an experience, exemplified by Joseph, our server. His attentiveness was remarkable, anticipating our needs with a grace and ease that added to the morning's enjoyment. Joseph's ability to engage in warm conversation while ensuring everything was just perfect made our breakfast not just a meal, but a memorable encounter.

While Hive Bakery & Café is known to fill up, buzzing with the energy of its patrons and sometimes a bit loud, it only adds to the vivacious atmosphere that makes this place unique. The buzz is not a distraction but a testament to the café's popularity and the vibrant life it brings to the West Palm Beach culinary scene.

For those seeking a breakfast that blends high culinary art with the serene beauty of nature, Hive Bakery & Café is a must-visit. It's a place where food is made with passion, service is delivered with care, and the ambiance invites you to stay a little longer. And while you're there, asking for Joseph might just be the secret to making a great morning exceptional.

A little busy, but worth the noise. Great food and excellent service. Also very quick order to table. The iced coffee selection was very good too. Definitely worth stopping in whether you're doing the whole Hive experience (they have some adjacent storefronts) or just crossing the street for breakfast.

Just south of the Norton Museum of Art on S. Dixie Hwy, Hive Bakery & Café is part of a complex of buildings that includes men’s and ladies’ clothing shops all serviced with complimentary valet parking. The café itself is well appointed and enjoyable though it can be a bit loud if full of people. There is a main seating area that is surrounded by windows so very bright, a smaller area at the back and an enclosed terrace so there are plenty of options.

The selection is typical of a café-bakery but at a more elevated level. For our brunch we had Spinach Feta Croissant (good but a little burnt), the Curry Chicken Croissant (very good), Nutella Croissant (very good, super amount of Nutella), Almond Croissant (also very good), Greek Yogurt with Berries (the yogurt was excellent although, for the price, there could have been more berries), and a Hot Chocolate (Excellent…one of the best I’ve ever had).

Service was excellent. Call out to Sheila who took good care of us. If you are in the area, and especially if you are visiting the museum, this would be a great pre- or post- stopover. Enjoy!

I’ve found my new happy place. The quality and execution here are perfection. My husband went crazy for the pancakes! They add orange zest and cook them with expertise. We loved the mango croissant, their cookies and the key lime tart. We also ordered the smoked salmon toast which was so refreshing and delicious. The owners of Hive have created a cafe of pure joy. I love the elevated mid century vibe. I love the colors and textures of the decor. The people are friendly and attentive. I can’t rave about this place enough!

I haven’t been to this place in a year and when I was there the last time I only got carry out it’s a lovely way to have lunch. The food is very good. Waitress was nice I had a Greek salad which was nice portion and very good and we also had a wrap with egg, white and cheese, which we liked. A nice fresh bread. Basket is complementary We also had a cookie for dessert. I really wanted the vegetable quiche but they ran out so I guess that means I’ll just have to come back again.
They have valet parking or a parking lot and while you were there, you could go to their stores where they have retail clothes and home furnishings and small gifts

We were a big group that walked in. They were able to accommodate us. Although there weren’t many deserts left due to the time we arrived, they did a great job serving us to the best of their abilities. The deserts and drinks were delicious.

A phenomenal bakery! This place rivals the best European cafes. A beautiful latte, absolutely delicious mango croissant! The staff is friendly and attentive. Totally Instagram worthy setting, and a full menu as well.

I don't normally write reviews but had to give credit to the great experience Hive offered. The food and the baked goods were amazing, and our servers (Joe and Josie) were incredibley friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions. Was a highlight of our trip!

Fantastic lunch and delightful treats! Coffee was delicious! Our server was Josie and she was attentive and her suggestions were spot on. Joseph walked us to the car holding an umbrella because it was pouring. It’s that kind of excellent service and kindness that is so rare in most places. We will be back because our experience was stellar!

An outstanding experience from start to finish! A must stop when you are in the vicinity! Excellent food and service! So many delicious dishes that it's difficult to select just one! People watching is also a definite draw here, too. Dress up a little or a lot - it contributes to the experience of all those dining. Leave your baseball caps and beach gear at home for this one unless you enjoy standing out in a bad way. PS - Save room for dessert, or take it to go! Bakery is top notch!

Lovely gem in WPB!! Sourdough bread is out of this world. Had Yvonne as a server both times and she is such a treat. High quality atmosphere, staff and food.

What a delightful spot to stop for lunch or a treat! Beautiful baked goods, tarts, & puddings. So many beverages & healthy juices & food choices. Gorgeous cakes, & many selections are gluten free! The coffee is the best! Such a pretty environment to dine in, or sit on the relaxing patio. The hive is as sweet as honey!

Such a great choice for a business gathering! The food was flavorful and presentation beautiful. There were selections for any palate and the sweet endings were hard to resist. Most noticeable was the professionalism and attentiveness of the young staff. All very organized and enthusiastically working together - so nice to see. The setting was relaxing and bright. I need to visit here again! Nice job, team! (Sorry the food photos were taken after we demolished the sliders and other savory bites!)

Really wanted to hate this place because Hive everything is taking over my neighborhood but after tasting their olive bread at the green market, I was hooked.

Easier to go to the bakery than find parking at the green market when I just wanted the bread.

The place is cute but rather noisy although there are other spots outside that may be quieter.

After Seoul and Tokyo, I miss cute cafes and there’s not a lot here. This is a bright, cheerful place and fits in with the whole Palm Beach, South Florida popping pastels style but not where I would hang out for a deep think. Good place to entertain future mothers in law.

Hive Cafe was very clean and cute all around! They have a plentiful menu and are accommodating to your needs/allergies. Also, you can't miss the in house baked goods along with fresh to-go lunch items. It was a perfect find for the day and I will be back to try some more items.

Yvonne is a gem and this is the best breakfast I’ve ever had. No doubt!

I’m so happy I found Hive. What a fabulous restaurant and bakery! I had a late brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered a bottle of brut for $45 and had the sourdough scramble and my friend had the shrimp and grits. Bomb! We also shared the blueberry pancakes. Everything was delicious and nicely portioned. Loved the basil aioli. The potatoes were crispy! Not the regular soggy home fries. I ordered a plate to go and also two croissants. The decor is beautiful. A lush green with an old Florida vibe. Plus the tables all had the most gorgeous flower. Good service and decent prices. Will be returning! Oh and can’t beat the complimentary valet.

Beautiful decor, really friendly staff and delicious food. The freshly baked bread is divine. We ordered the avocado toast with chopped eggs and tomatoes, side of broccoli and chicken salad croissant sandwich. Satisfying portions sizes (not too big/too small) and tasty coffee and juices. Look forward to revisiting.
