If you are into cafe hopping and are at Bandung, one of the cafe you must visit is Beehive Cafe & Eatery. This cafe is also home to a lovely boutique hotel which I didn’t know about it earlier. Otherwise, I would book this for my Bandung trip. And along the stretch, there are 2 other cafes, Golden Monkey, beside Beehive Cafe while Noah’s Barn is opposite them.
Upon entering Beehive Cafe & Eatery, we find a cosines that warm our heart. It has a feel of home. Furthermore, the cafe is divided into smoking section on the right while non-smoking on the left, with the centre as the common passageway. I thought this was relatively thoughtful.
In addition, it is child friendly too. They set up a corner for the kids to play.
Exhaustive list of menu with All Day Breakfast, Sandwiches, appetizer, salad, pasta, burger & hotdog, meat, poultry & seafood choices, asian delight and light bites.
As we didn’t feel hungry when we were at Beehive for lunch, hence we have a Little Bee’s Bites of Bratwurst and Fries (IDR 45k). I like the fries but thought the Bratwurst was average.
And got the Oxtail Soup (IDR 72k) as Mains for sharing. Soup was extremely flavourful and wasn’t as oily as some which we have come across. My only feedback about this dish was the tough oxtail meat.
Beehive Cafe & Eatery serves one of the best drink. We tried The Bee’s Punch (IDR 30k), Kiwi Mojito (IDR 29k) & Mango Yakult (IDR 35k), these were lightly sweet and we could savour the fruitiness. Perhaps, it was the torrid weather condition that contributed the basis factor hence we find the drink outstanding.
We tried the Lychee Yakult (IDR 35k) too but we favoured over the Mango flavoured one. The Lychee flavoured Yakult drink was sweeter.
7 dessert items are on the menu. Being Green Tea fan, we have a choice of either Green Tea Panna Cotta (IDR 35k) and Matcha Lava Cake (IDR 30k). We would love to order both. Due to limited stomach capacity, we limited ourselves to the former.
The Green Tea Panna Cotta is hidden beneath the Chocolate Shell. We aren’t sure of what’s the right way to eat this. Our method was crack the chocolate and have it together with the silky panna cotta. It was the sauce that emit the green tea flavour while the panna cotta was vanilla in flaovur.
As I posted a food photo of Beehive Cafe & Eatery on my Instagram account, we got the complimentary Bee’s Ice Cream.
NAHMJ Verdict
Though we tried only a tiny faction of the food and drinks on Beehive Cafe & Eatery offerings, we have a good impression. We will be back when we are in Bandung again.
