The Beehive Cafe

Cute spot with great pastries, coffee drinks and a fresh, delectable hot food menu. There is a small counter as you enter to place your order. There is a small area of seating upstairs, both indoor and outdoor, and an area downstairs with outdoor seating. I recommend groups of 4 at most, as the tables are 2- or 4-tops. Easy to walk to in downtown Bristol with street parking available nearby. The staff is really friendly and makes you feel at home.

I've visited for both breakfast and lunch. delicious coffee, lots of food options to choose from ranging from heavier dishes such as eggs/breakfast sandwiches, etc. to pastries in a display case. I enjoyed an amazing butternut squash/kale salad for lunch. there's plenty of outdoor seating for the nicer days, a bike rack, and indoor seating upstairs. pay at the counter before seating yourself! all very simple, and every interaction I've had with the staff was pleasant :) can't go wrong with the Beehive Cafe.

One star off for hungry hungry yellow jackets buzzing around us non-stop while we ate outside. The Beehive can’t control them. We even offered them the bacon they were after but the three of them wouldn’t leave 🤣. I had the BLT, so so so good! Daughter had the butternut squash sandwich! She wants to try to recreate it here at home. The pan fried, spiced chick pea side was good, but dry. I know it is tricky to keep them warm but prevent them from drying out. My chocolate espresso cookie was ok. Could have tasted both more chocolatey and more espresso-y. Daughter’s lemon square wasn’t as lemony as she would have liked. But, we will be back if we are in the area again, to try other items!

This cafè is so good my husband and I ate there four days in a row while on vacation in Rhode Island. The butternut squash sandwich and butternut squash cornbread hash were my favorites, but the raspberry cheesecake French toast special was divine as well.
I loved the atmosphere. We ate outside 3 out of the 4 days, with a view of the ocean and a park. Indoor seating was lovely too. The space is both stylish and fun. I really appreciated there was no music playing in the background. It was nice to be able to hear eachother and the birds while eating.

We spent last Wednesday in Bristol, RI and had a great lunch at The Beehive Cafe. We had the Smoked Salmon BLT and the Normie Wrap. Both were delicious. We finished with a top notch lemon square.

Great little dive Cafe! Excellent stop for a post bike ride snack. Their BLT is a strong A+. Try the crispy chick peas!

Best place for a casual breakfast or lunch across from the water. Food is very good, staff wonderful and the pastries exemplary.....if you're dieting don't look!

Very nice Cafe. Coffee was very good. You can sit outside in the sun. Very relaxing place in a very relax city. Ice coffee was also nice to try. But the hot drinks that I like most. Espresso cookies where all nice to try. I will come back when I am in this region 👍😁😘

Cute little cafe serving pastries, breakfast and lunch. Love this place. Had the chicken pot pie with side hash browns and mix greens. Simply awesome spot.

Cute. Peaceful. Fast. We came early on a Sunday. Later it seemed to really fill in and it was packed by the time we left. A lot of older people there. Like we were the only diners under 55. I guess that’s just the area. Loved it. The cheddar tomato soup was so good.

We found this place as we were looking for a surprised addition to our lunch picnic at our bike stop on East Bay Bike Path. That was a very pleasantly surprised. Their pot pie might be the best pot pie we have ever had. The pastry was very light and flaky, and the filling was very creamy and tasty.

Really, really good!

This place is great! I got the grilled cheese and added onion, tomato, and bacon. It ended up being around $16, which is fairly pricey. It was excellent though, high quality ingredients, good portion size, and great flavor. You may have to wait a bit, but in my opinion, it’s worth it! 🙂

Delicious! The food was fresh, even the tomato which can be iffy in some places. The atmosphere was fun and cute little bee accents everywhere. You have to try it!

Unique and adorable coffee shop, highly recommended.

The Breakfast Burrito and Butternut Cornbread Hash were great. They had limited seating, but after a short wait we were able to sit in the outdoor rooftop area.

I don't give 5 stars out of principle but this place deserves it. It's a very cute cafe bakery downstairs and a restaurant upstairs (they sell beer, wine, and possibly hard liquor). The atmosphere is warm and pleasant. And the food. The food is incredible. The Beehive specializes in vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, so everyone has something they can really enjoy (they serve meat, dairy, and gluten products too). Everything tastes healthy and fresh, the portion sizes are perfect, and you don't feel gross after you eat. The desserts are also amaaaazing (the mint chocolate chip cake is probably the best thing I've ever eaten). The service is great too! Everyone is so friendly. In the summer there's outside seating & a deck as well. Highly recommend.

Unique menu with interesting twists on many common dishes. Friendly staff and low key ambience. I had a grilled cheese with pan fried chick peas. Located at the Bristol end of east bay bike path from Providence, great to replenish for the return trip

We eat here often and love the food. We went Saturday evening and loved seeing the new decor. For us, the portions are pretty large and we both ordered the chicken sandwich with chickpeas. Delicious! We could only eat 1/2 and have lunch for the next day. A true highlight was our server, Cassidy. If you are lucky, you will get Cassidy as your server too. So, overall, loved the service, the food, the new decor and the sunset from the upstairs windows!

Came here for delicious food and beautiful view. Coffees are also good. A great place to a chilled afternoon here.

Wonderful place to enjoy a meal or just coffee and cake. The head chef prepares great food, you can taste the love in his work. The rest of the staff is very friendly, it's like having breakfast in your own house without having to cook.

Great coffee, great food!!! The staff are amazing and always energetic, happy and welcoming. You don’t have to stop by many times before they remember you and welcome you by name.
I have never had a coffee made incorrectly, always just right. The food is out of this world. The breakfast burrito is so filling and delicious and the butternut squash hash is just insane and I am hooked on it. The kids love the baked goods as well. Can’t go wrong stopping in here
