Sweet & Savory

In the mood for something sweet (perhaps a Vanilla Raspberry Cruffin)? Or are you craving something savory?

The Hive Bakery & Cafe, the brainchild of owner Sara McCann, has plenty of both. The West Palm Beach cafe offers breakfast, lunch, pastries and coffee. The menu, enhanced by local produce, features house-made pastries, artisanal breads, seasonal vegetables and savory cuisine focused on wood-fired rotisserie cooking.

Behind the scenes: the husband-and-wife culinary team of Executive Chef Jay Felton who created the savory menu with a selection of salads, homemade soups (green lentil and Mexican chicken) and gourmet sandwiches (on house-baked bread, of course).

Executive Pastry Chef Amber Felton brings her Michelin three-star experience and is the one to thank for the specialties including Flourless Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Raspberry Cruffin, Hazelnut Date Twice Baked Croissant and “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” Brownies — along with traditional and flavored breads and rolls.

Breakfast items include shrimp and grits, veggie frittata and an egg white wrap, while sandwiches include grilled broccoli melt and a lobster roll. There’s also a selection of white, red, rose and sparkling wines as well as beers.

Hive Bakery & Cafe is located at 1603 S. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach. For more information, visit hivebakeryandcafe.com.
