The Beehive - Mindo

(Google translation) The Beehive is a great little place. It is part of Dragonfly Inn and its restaurant, so the atmosphere is more Inn-know-café than coffee shop, but said this, the Dragonfly restaurant is quite good. The hive itself is decent. The American and the Cappuccino could use some work, although they are probably better than the instant. The hot chocolate, in the true Ecuadorian fashion, is excellent. However, one thing you can count on is breakfast. He doesn't know 'lunch' and that's a good thing. If you're Western, and if you're reading a critique in English, you'll probably enjoy this breakfast. In addition, there are views over a small stream and with numerous bird feeders you will definitely see some of the ubiquitous birds of Mindo. (Original) The Beehive is a pretty cool little place.

(Traducción de Google) Tengo que admitir que Mindo no era exactamente lo que esperaba y nos fuimos un día antes. La espera para el autobús es insoportablemente larga, así que tomamos algo de beber aquí mientras esperamos 4 horas para que nuestro autobús regresara a Quito. En mi modo habitual de ritmo rápido, pedí y di vueltas. El propietario simplemente me dijo que me relajara 'Relájate, no tienes a dónde ir '. Me di cuenta de que tenía razón. Nos sentamos en la terraza trasera con vistas al arroyo. Pronto los colibríes revoloteaban, mariposas y gallinas e incluso vi un basilisco. Ok, entonces Mindo no era tan malo después de todo. Tomamos café, algún tipo de refresco casero y una tarde muy agradable aquí. La hermosa familia propietaria de este café puede haber abierto recientemente el Dragonfly B&B. Asegúrese de visitar estos dos lugares si alguna vez en Mindo. (Original) I have to admit, Mindo wasn 't exactly what I was expecting and we left a day early. The wait for the bus is excruciatingly long so we grabbed something to drink here while we waited 4 hours for our bus back to Quito. In my usual fast paced mode I ordered and paced around. The owner simply told me to relax 'Relax, you don 't have anywhere to go '. I realized he was right. We sat on the back deck overlooking the creek. Soon hummingbirds were fluttering around, butterflies and chickens and I even saw a Basilisk. Ok, so Mindo wasn 't so bad after all. We had coffees, some kind of home-made sodas and a really nice afternoon here. The beautiful family that owns this cafe may have recently opened the Dragonfly B&B. Be sure to check both of these places out if ever in Mindo.
