The Hive Loukoumades

Friendly Staff who are skilled their craft of making Loukoumades.These delishous donuts are Not" to be missed when in Rye.Always hot and fresh cooked while you wait with a wide variety of toppings one to suite all.Thanks my regular weekly treat...Thanks"

Not worth $40 and a 30min wait for 2 coffees and 2 servings of loukoumades.The attendant said there was a 10minute wait for donuts and the coffees would be quicker than that. This lead to us deciding to stay and drink our coffees while we waited for the donuts.While we waited, they played awful club music (on a Sunday morning) outside that was so loud we had to move around the corner, away from the speakers.The coffees took 20mins even though there were only 2-3 customers in the cafe. They didn’t taste very good (my flat white was 50% foam). When I collected the coffees the attendant told me the donuts were ready and would be 2 mins, they were just putting on the toppings.10 mins later, the donuts were ready. There was no urgency, no apology, and no acknowledgement or “thank you for waiting”… Then, when we finally tasted them, the toppings were good but the dough was raw in the middle.Plus, there were no water bowls for dogs out the front.I would not recommend.

When it comes to loukoumades, I have high expectations. So when I saw this beautiful store stand out as driving past, I had to try. The loukoumades were freshly made to order, hot, and delicious. The staff were friendly, and the store itself was spacious and nice. The smoothie options were nice. I would only suggest allowing smaller portions, as the 12 minimum for one person is a lot and can make a person think twice. I also understand the effort to make them fresh to order might inconvenience a smaller portion. And I also can't justify the extra $2 to make it half half flavours when there is no extra effort required to halve the toppings as the base is the same. Thanks for the perfect loukoumades.

Donuts were delish!!!! So would buy them again! The lines were really long which meant its a great place, however I wish they had more seating around the place to accommodate so many people.

We had some of the most delicious donuts we have ever tasted here. Of course the cold winter afternoon beckons a coffee and a Spinach and ricotta cheese pastry to go with the donuts. Great food, great view.

Awesome loukoumadesBack again loukoumades tast even better.Great atmosphere here good space you have tables outside to enjoy.

So glad this was open on a late Saturday afternoon on a cold wintery day. Every other coffee shop had shut. Has good soy late. Tried the donuts too.
