Newstead

Updated: Jul 26, 2024

Hive is a unique and funky warehouse cafe, bar and eatery tucked away in a Newstead side street and open for breakfast through to evening drinks and tapas-style dishes.

Hive Newstead

The lamp and string of twinkling lights, leather couch and cartwheel and servery window out front give little clue to the quirky rabbit warren of spaces inside, which are festooned with greenery, faux white cherry blossom tree, barrels, Chesterfield couches, picnic tables and astroturf.

And that's not all - perched up high on one of the walls are two vintage motorbikes (from one of the owner's collection) and in the centre is a farm tractor, providing a partition between seating areas.

Serving breakfast from 6.30-11.30am, on the menu there's the likes of buttermilk and ricotta hotcakes; tofu chilli scramble; mixed wild mushroom and Maleny goats cheese omelette; and house-made granola parfait with yoghurt and mixed berry compote.
