If I could give the hive 3.5 stars out of 5 I would. I am a regular but purely because the accompanying playground let's my child play whilst I enjoy a coffee. I enjoy their coffee but have been put off by their cakes and slices having flies near them in the casing that houses them. Shortbread biscuits are soft The way I like them.
I can't comment on their hot food as I have never tried it.
I purely come here for the coffee and playground as I don't know of anywhere else that offers this locally.

Spent some time here during the Easter of 2017 with my family. It's got a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere which is great for relaxation and having privacy. Service was fine and value was affordable.

A big disappointment at lunch today fish and chips a crummy 3 tiny tiny bits of fish on plate I thought they forgot to put fish on no more visiting there.

This great little cafe is a little off the beaten track, so to speak... Set away from the main shopping strip, this place relies largely on custom from locals and the neighbouring aged care faciilty...
So really I am about to spoil the best kept secret in Hammondville...
I have been here a few times since moving to the area and there are definitely some standout features of this lovely little cafe that keep me going back...
Firstly there is the service, all of the staff I have encountered are exceptionally friendly and really helpful...
The next best thing would have to be the price, this would have to be one of the most reasonably priced places that I have come across, most items on the menu come in at under $10!!
They have a nice selection of cakes on display for after your meal as well...
There is also outdoor seating with a gated children's playground - A huge plus for girlfriends who have brought their kids along...
The Hive is definitely a good place to 'buzz off' to for a nice relaxed afternoon with friends!!
