  “Lovely people, the most delicious seasonal drinks, and the cutest cafe! Inside and outdoor seating. Book ahead if you want to sit inside :)”

  “Firstly, the staff are lovely and this review is in no way aimed at them but our visit was very disappointing. It does get extremely busy which, having been before, I am aware of, so do keep that in mind if you are planning on going. The food is quite expensive for what it is, and in all honesty, it's not that good. The cakes were nice though, so I would recommend them! The coffee was very disappointing. It was bitter, tasted quite cheap. Of course, this could all be personal opinion but i'm afraid me and my family were not impressed. Our first visit was just for cake and we had no issues then. Sadly this second visit was a let down.”

  “Set in the original Jarrow Hall, built about 1785 by local businessman Simon Temple, the Hive Coffee Company have established an enviable name for delicious coffees, beverages and scrumptious cooked food and snacks. A busy place mid day offering indoor and outdoor seating in an historic location close to the Bede Monastery - the monastery where the Venerable Bede lived and worked is known as St Paul's.”

  “Called in with my daughter for coffee and cake. Lovely coffee and lovely cake with a great selection. Sat in the garden as it was a lovely day. Looking forward to going back soon. Lovely helpful staff and quick service. I would recommend booking a table as it is very popular.”

  “Great selection of food and drinks to choose from and very reasonable prices. Arrived 10am during May school holidays. We were seated straight away, table for 4, no reservation, although it was busy by 11am. Waitress took order straight away. We received drinks within 5mins and food within 20mins. We had Americano, 2x banana bread chai latte, and iced cinnamon swirl latte and 4x Burns breakfast sandwich, £49. They were lovely. Great service, will come again.”

  “Book a table! Met up with a friend to chat, chill and enjoy delicious food! We both had Eggs Benny which was incredible with really thick ham and beautiful presentation. My son had pancakes with fruit and syrup which were demolished and very filling! The staff were terrific, attentive and keen to ensure every need was met for us. The venue is clean and bright with big windows and assorted seating options whether you're at a table or relaxing on a couch. The Hive is dog friendly and other guests with dogs were considerate of others which gave the entire venue a cosy, respectful and comfortable vibe. Thank you to the team at The Hive!”

  “Fantastic coffee shop - the staff are excellent! Very thorough! I only ordered a drink, and they still asked about allergens. It is very comforting, as I have coeliac disease, so I felt very safe here, and would definitely return! The staff are also very friendly and welcoming! The atmosphere here was amazing! Perfect for studying, but also would be a lovely place to catch up with friends. Very clean! Menu looked lovely, and their honey latte was delicious! Highly recommend!”

  “Really lovely brunch at Hive Coffee Company last weekend! I was glad we had booked as it was getting busy when we arrived and there was a solid queue when we left! Our server was friendly, great choice of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu and our food was tasty. Well cooked poached eggs on my eggs Florentine and good hollandaise. Good coffee too. The selection of sweet treats looked fab, but we were too full sadly. The grounds of Jarrow hall are lovely too and the herb garden was very cute. Would recommend!”

  “Whilst visiting family, we ate at The Hive for Sunday brunch. We had a reserved table, service was great and the food was amazing. I had the small breakfast which was delicious, especially the sausages. My latte was gorgeous but my sister tried the purple taro (and lavender I think) coffee. Such a pretty colour. We didn't have space to sample the cakes but they all looked very tempting. Set in a beautiful location, surrounded by nature and history, a great place to meet family and friends or treat yourself any day of the seek. Highly recommended, Thank you to the team who looked after us last Sunday too 🥰”

  “Absolutely love this place, been back here more than a handful of times. Some of the best tasting coffee in the area, and the food is always fresh and tasty. The menu is always getting updated with new things as specials. Service has always been perfect. And the location is spot on, sitting outside is just the best. Also, PLENTY vegan options which is so hard to find! BEST vegan chocolate cake ever!”
