What Sarah Morton doesn't like about Hive Coffee Company:
Actually massively disappointed in this cafe. Two children sausage sandwiches were actually half sandwich with one sausage cut in half. My partners meal came out looking like someone had shaken it in the box….. and it took 45 mins to come out for takeaway. On top of that the staff on the till was rude. Would not return at all. View all feedback. What Madison Simmons likes about Hive Coffee Company:
The full English breakfast was lovely, although a little hard to enjoy from a takeout container with wooden cutlery, which we had to have because they had no tables inside. That being said, the service was top notch, they were all lovely and the lady serving me took her time and didn’t feel rushed despite being mega busy. I had the Cloud Catcher Iced Tea which was delish! View all feedback.

Hive, once a welcoming spot, has disappointed many loyal customers with inefficient staff, high prices, and unfriendly service. The food quality has also declined, with complaints about undercooked dishes and tasteless fillings. Despite some positive aspects such as good coffee and friendly service, the overall atmosphere and experience have deteriorated. However, some visitors still appreciate the cozy ambiance and excellent food, marking this spot as a hidden gem with great potential. Overall, mixed reviews show that while some find it a charming location with friendly staff, others are left feeling unwelcome and dissatisfied.
