This cafe is hidden gem in New West. Coffee and desserts are all tasty and great. Nice vibes and makes you feel happy to be there. Only thing is parking which is very limited. Most of parking area around is pay parking.

Ordered 2, sausage, egg, cheese bagels, Not sure if they were heated at all? Probably the worst thing I've tried in a while, took one bite, tasteless, threw both of them in the trash. Shameful, this business doesn't care about their food at all, how was this served to me? It looks nothing like their advertised bagel sandwich.

Such a hidden gem! We had the breakfast wraps- outside was crunchy & inside was a warm mouthful of goodness. Staff were so friendly & helpful! Love the little reading area & cozy vibe. Even found a cute shirt! Glad we checked it out for brunch.

Cute, lowkey cafe in New West! Drinks took quite a while to get considering that the cafe was practically empty, but the Vietnamese Latte was excellent! Would come again :)

I came in for a HANAP SANDO and it was absolutely delicious. I give it 5 stars HANAP serves their Sandos for a limited time at Hive Cafe. Unfortunately Hive cafe staff did not meet any of the expectations I have in the customer service department. Standing behind the counter chatting I had to interrupt the conversation simply to order. I would NOT recommend coming to this cafe

This is one of the places where great dark Belgium chocolate and Vietnamese lattes are served! Their matcha white chocolate cookie was a big hit too.

They’ve added better seating which makes the space look bigger and brighter. Such a gorgeous space! However it’s defs on a pricier side… I mean a simple espresso is $4 and latte is $7. I tried the Filipinx latte & it was decent, but idk the prices kind of surprised me. Way too pricy compared to other coffee shops. :/ Old review: Lovely cafe. Great coffee. They carry Bonus vegan cookies, which are amazing! :)

A sneaky little gem hiding in a perfect place. Their Iced Caramel Macchiato is sweet without being overpowering, and they have amazing vegan cinnamon buns. None of that weirdly doughy or dry texture you usually get from a vegan bun- and the staff is friendly and welcoming!

This café is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance and welcoming staff made me feel right at home. This café is incredible, but what really makes it special are the two lovely girls behind the counter! Their energy is contagious, and they work together like a dream team. Whether it s crafting the perfect latte or sharing a quick laugh with customers, they bring such a warm and cheerful vibe to the place. I tried their filipinixx latte, it was perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail here is unmatched, from the beautiful presentation of the food to the charming decor that sets the perfect mood. Whether you re here for a quick coffee or a long chat with friends, this place has it all. Highly recommend!

My friend and I were excited to try the food here but when we asked if the bread was vegan, we were informed that it was not vegan and they use the same bread for everything. When the menu clearly says Vegan Grilled Cheese and we are told that the food is not vegan, that menu should be changed. Cross contamination is one thing (which we truly are not bothered by) but false claims on the menu is another. Hopefully this is just a case of miscommunication.

I wasnt impressed with their mango cake. And the default latte is perfectly alright. Sandwiches just ok. But what prompted this review was their ube latte. The first in a small batch of filipino style flavours, this was a treat. If youve ever had a beet or sweet potato latte, you know the treat youre in for. Just sweet enough the people at the counter were polite and pretty quick too! I always like the atmosphere here, and they added a wooden platform with sitting pillows, carpet, and a small stack of books to read

I went to this place with my son and a friend afternoon on 18th of March. I ordered drink, scone and cake.

Went through to grab a quick hot beverage with my dad and a carrot cake. The ambience of the place is nice, clean and well maintained. I ordered a 12 oz Mocha with oat milk & my father got a dark roast with cream and sugar I believe, & a carrot cake to share. I want to first say the good: the carrot cake was great, not too sweet and good texture. The bad: the coffee for both our drinks were not very hot, almost like warm and the coffee tasted so off! At first I thought it my mocha because of the oat milk. And my dad complained at how bad the coffee tasted and I tried his and it didn t taste like coffee at all. (For reference he drinks dark roasts at Starbucks so obviously will be quite a bit different) but It has this weird aftertaste that s oddly sweet. I asked the barista what type of coffee it was and she answered Colombian so maybe we just aren t attuned to the taste? but I d say it was definitely without exaggeration one of the least pleasant tasting coffee I ve had. We both couldn t finish our drinks and just tossed it, I d say I d come for the baked goods and sandwhiches maybe but the drinks were not very good at all for the price.

You can tell the texture of dacquoise was not fresh. Not crunchy and even worse, one of chocolate cream was sour. I was excited to visit this cute Cafe with so many good reviews. However, I got terrible experience. I ordered two dacquoise, carrot cake and Matcha latte. It cost me $28.98 dollars including tips. The carrot cake was non of any carrot flavour but full of sweetness. Every taste was sugar. The matcha latte was normal but I asked for sugar free and it tasted sweet. Well the service was good because I didn t wait for long on the Friday afternoon. I understand it s not easy to own a small business. However, at least treat your customers with your good enough quality. Otherwise, no one is going to come back.

Ordered a cortado, and when it was served they initially called my drink as a cappuccino. I was immediately assured by staff that it was actually a cortado, but it was a cappuccino. Ham and cheddar sandwich was aesthetically pleasing and the ingredients and bread were fresh, but it wasnt particularly flavourful.

If you want to pay premium price for bad service, this place is for you. Ordered two iced espresso beverage for over $15 with a lady who seemed to be annoyed to serve, but fortunately was not rude to me, we waited for our drinks seeing other people taking theirs one after another. It was clear that the cashier forgot to pass the order to barista as the barista was wondering what I was waiting for. No explanation or apology offered except between the cashier and the barrista, not to the customer. Drinks themselves tasted okay except one of them had a spoonful of espresso ground floating. This was my second visit to Hive Cafe and was had to suffer from slow service. I really should remember to not go here again.

A tough one to write but honesty is the best policy. I feel that the cinnamon roll that was purchased is most DEFINITELY not worth the cost paid. I felt slightly cheated because I feel personally, if something is labelled Vegan, the price must be higher. Really disappointed, please change the price, or step up the bake drastically. Feedback; - Its bread add the yeast and let it rise. - More cinnamon and Vegan butter, we arent at war so I dont know why it was rationed. - Thicker consistency on the icing, again dont know why its rationed. Only then would the price be fair. What saved the day, was the Vegan cookie. Tasty and warm when served.

Ok I usually dont post reviews especially of places I try to support but if I dont say anything nothing will get done! I have been here three times in a row and each time I was given a story on why they couldnt serve any of the hot food on their menu. Mind you I have to drive 30 minutes to get to this place from Coquitlam to enjoy a few plant-based options and treats. This last time visit took the cake. The lady at the counter said she cannot make me any food because of staffing issues and she was the only one there. Its 12pm lunch time mind you... Management: If your staff is not available during the lunch time rush when are they available? Christmas? Midnight? The shop is only open to 4:30pm but they stop serving everything about 3pm (learned that the last visit) so I thought I came at a good time this time. Evidently its never a good time for me. Maybe its something personal. Why do you think I say that. Because sitting down there were people enjoying the same sandwiches I came to order!!!! When I pointed it out once again I was told they had the stock just didnt have time to make me anything? Are you hearing what youre saying? Are you guys nuts? What kind of service is this? Im plant-based so Im trying to support you guys and you just slap me in the face. Ive never heard of something like this. Im even thinking that the staff doesnt even care anymore. Are you guys closing up something? This is ridiculous. Ended up spending almost 40 bucks on a pretzel and some cookies I should have never ordered because I was starving. Good job Hive Cafe. Total dumpster fire train wreck. Then you wonder why people associate so much negativity to plant based friendly places. You really think normal cafes a run like this?

Would recommend trying their Vietnamese iced coffee! Cant speak for their food since I havent tried. It gets pretty busy here and indoor space and seating is very limited which is one of the challenges with this place. Usually cant find an empty seat inside. Parking is also all paid parking in the area. Theres an urban city park nearby which is walking distance (few minutes walk) to enjoy your coffee and goods at. Saying this because its good to have nearby options to go to if youre not dining in.

Wow I m very surprised by the drink quality here. It looked like a pretty cafe from the outside with a lot of nice reviews but I was faced with a handful of disappointments.

December 22, 2022

Unless you want rude baristas, terrible drinks, and dried out food, do not come here. Came here for the first time with high expectations because of the amazing reviews, but we were extremely disappointed and even giving a 1/5 stars is too much. Despite there being 4 workers, 2 were constantly on the delivery tablet, 1 at the front till was extremely rude, and 1 was taking very long to make 2 drinks while there was a line up to the door. Asked the girl on till a couple questions about if the Vietnamese coffee normally comes with 2% milk, and she said it as a given and said it s cow milk. Don t offer delivery service if you can t focus on the customers in cafe first. Aesthetic is nice, but I would not recommend or come back.

This is a really cute cafe and I really want to love it. The staff are nice, and give good service. The baked goods are awesome (try the dacquoise!). But today I tried their breakfast wrap and a tea. They give generous servings of tea leaves, so watch your steeping time! The breakfast wrap was horrible. It had very little flavour, but that s not a huge deal. The real problem was the texture of the eggs. The scrambled eggs tasted like they had been replaced with ground up erasers. I later learned that the wraps are not made on site, but other sandwiches are. So it had probably been frozen and microwaved before it hit the panini press. If you go, enjoy the treats, but check with them in advance if your order will be made fresh on site.

I do love this place the food and drink is one of my absolute favs . HOWEVER, I hope mgmt is reading . You NEED to get extra staff. You re always short staffed when I come in mostly on Saturdays. I see 2-3 Uber type drives out front and 6-8 people waiting to be served or waiting for their drinks. I feel for the staff. I see no help wanted signs, so I m guessing it s something else. Pls take this constructive feedback cuz I don t want u to loos customers as you do provide a great end product.

Cute store, but its incredibly slow. There was one other customer infront of me, wasnt even able to get an order in because i had to go to a meeting to attend. Long story short I waited for about 15 minutes in a one person line, previous customer ( 2 other) were still waiting for their order. I work in a cafe too with high volumes of customer with just two staff as well, no one waits 15 minutes for their coffee or food. First impression was not very good tbh. Maybe next time.

I don t think I ve ever disliked anything I have tried here, maybe the one cookies and cream cinnebun, but not because it was bad, I just acknowledge it was more calories than I wanted to sacrifice for what it was. Besides that I loved ALL of their baked goods, and they have a lot of delicious sandwich options. They also have these things, I never remember the name, but they re like macaroons but better in my opinion.

Seriously, my only real complaint is that I didnt find them until after 3 and they close at 4. The staff were sweet and just seemed to exude sociability. If Im 100% honest, Id love for them to have more cozy seating options... just because it would be the on the cake.

Quaint little Cafe tucked away on Front street. Unique variety of baked goods and vegan wraps and sandwiches are also available. Seating is limited but on a weekday morning it was easy to find space. Good option for those looking for a quick bite near Pier.

Ordered from Uber, everything was packaged up very nicely. Carrot Cake: Very tasty, would order again. Vegan Cinnamon Roll: Did not like nor taste like a cinnamon roll. more like a slice bread with curdled tasteless frosting. Vietnamese Iced Coffee: A solid iced coffee, very smooth and mellow, but not like a strong Vietnamese iced coffee you get from Vietnamese restaurants Grilled Turkey Sandwich: Nice simple sandwich, tasty.

Visited on Sunday afternoon, plenty of seats. WiFi and socket outlet available for laptop or USB ports. Variety of pastries mainly cakes, coffee was great. No cash is accepted now as posted. The nearby neighborhood of downtown New Westminster is such a quiet and relaxing atmosphere for weekend chill out or reading time. Much to enjoy!

I went there on Sunday on a cloudy afternoon hoping to get some nice pastries and cup of tea. When I got there, I checked out the pastries but all of them seemed stale and somehow not pleasing to my eyes, so I decided to only grab lavender earl grey latte to go. Hmm, the latte itself taste bad I d say. It s very bland, no lavender taste yet just plain not sweet no taste at all. Pretty disappointed and not going back there anytime.

First time eating here, I had white hot chocolate ( its okay ) feels like needs more chocolate in it, also the hazelnut crunch ( delicious) and the beef wrap ( no much flavour ) unfortunately i was very excited to try the food here since i know is a popular cafe in new west, however the wrap had an interesting flavour and i dont love it. Had to order some ketchup to make it better I give 4 stars because i know the other food is much better but it was more like a 3.5 stars foe today s experience

They have everything you want from a coffee shop, even some special threats as melon pans from Ef&Be, and special cookies (bit expensive). Drinks are like usual. They have some tables and the decoration is nice. The black point is the staff, not so friendly and careless. Ive been twice and felt like I was bothering them.

Hit or miss. Belgian mocha frapp was amazing, the oreo frapp was terrible. Sickeningly sweet with an extremely artificial flavour that tasted like medicine. Mocha frapp was great however, and I dont even like coffee. Make sure to specify vegan though as otherwise they add condensed milk and whipped cream. Decent selection of vegan goodies from bonus bakery and to live for. Staff were nice. A bit expensive though.

A local cafe in the new Westminster downtown area on the front street nearby the pier next to the train track. May be possible to have a chance for train watching if one passes by while you visit the shop; you may need to speak very loud to talk to your friends if you are there with them. Simple menu with hot and cold drinks along with some snack for sale. They also sale some coffee beans and powder if you are interested.

Cute & modern cafe located along Pier Park in New West on Front St near the New West Quay. I d recommend using the paid parking lot a walkable distance (~15min walk) to the café in the Shops of New West where the Landmark Cinema is located. There s also small strip of paid available right in front of the café, but it s a bit more difficult to enter the lot, there s limited spaces, and I m not sure how much it costs. Very nice to visit especially when it s sunny, I came on a good day and sat on the patio which overlooks the water. My order: Avocado Hummus Toast ($7.75): this was very reasonably priced, and is served on a thin piece of sour dough bread, and topped with arugula and balsamic vinegar. Very flavourful and good use of ingredients on top (they don t cheap out) Carrot Cake ($6.85): Super moist cake with real cream cheese, this was hands down my favourite item here along with the strong Viet iced coffee. Red Velvet Cake ($6.85): tad bit too sweet for me, but I m also not a fan of Red Velvet cake in general personally. It s moist though. Matcha & Almond Drop Cookies ($3.25), Red Velvet Cookie w/ Cream Cheese ($3.50) & Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.25): Cookies were jumbo and very soft. Classic choco chip was my fave cookie. Red velvet had a cream cheese filling (too sweet). Matcha flavour wasn t strong, but still enjoyable to eat. Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($4.50): strong and yummy, I d recommend this as well. Matcha Frappé ($5.95): matcha flavour was on the weak side unfortunately, and it s super creamy (especially with the whipped cream). I d say it s even creamier than Starbucks matcha frappe. I d also recommend getting it half sweet.

This is a nice cafe with friendly staff. I ordered a breakfast wrap & a tiramisu latte. The breakfast wrap was good but it tasted like a frozen breakfast wrap that I usually buy from Wal-Mart. The tiramisu latte was something I hadnt seen at any other cafe before, so it was definitely something that I am glad I tried. My friends ordered various cakes, which I had a bite of .. and they didnt taste too great. All you could really taste was the icing. There is very limited seating and ordering took forever. I probably wouldnt come back. Gave it a 3/5 because the staff were nice and the tiramisu latte was good.
