I found the food to have a vast variety of choices, and absolutely fabulous. Most of the prices are reasonable. However I find the service itself to be poor and lacking as your suppose to tip a non waiter/waitress server that does not serve nor collect. No Bueno! Further more if your going to work with customers in the United States, speaking and understanding english clearly and fluidly is highly recommended if you like repeat business and recommendations. I am going to change to a five star, as my boyfriend and I went back for a second chance and it was better, as tips were earned this time by interacting at our seat with service to receive our food! Thank you! I don't mind putting my dishes away on the way out, it should be marked better to do so. I love the make your own bowl.

The people working here are so friendly!! Coconut cold brew is a must get. Great place to work or hang for a bit because of their nice patio seating area!! Inside has some seating as well with a couple outlets. Breakfast sandwich was 10/10 too!!! Coming back next chance I get 😍

The Hive coffee shop at AMLI Marina Del Rey may look like a nice café, but behind the scenes, their operations create a serious nuisance for the residents who live here. Every single night at around 1:30 AM, delivery trucks arrive for The Hive — seven nights a week. These are large trucks with lift gates, engines running, loud reversing alarms, and flashing lights that wake people up in the middle of the night. The deliveries last 30–60 minutes, and the noise carries directly into apartments above. What makes this worse is that The Hive doesn’t even open until 7:00 AM. There is no valid reason why deliveries must happen at 1:30 AM when they could easily occur after opening or before closing. Instead, the business chooses a schedule that disrupts hundreds of residents’ sleep for their convenience. A café should be part of the community, not a source of nightly disturbance. Until The Hive changes its delivery practices and respects the residents who live above them, I cannot recommend supporting this business. If they fix this, I will update my review.
