The vibe of the hive is great.
Emily and I decided to get out of town for a day and picked Galesburg to roam around and explore. I let her pick the coffeehouse we visit and that’s how we ended up at The Beanhive.
Upon walking in, I knew we picked a great place. The Beanhive has the vibes of grandma’s house. Everything feels vintage, antiqued, and from the 1970s. The decor is definitely eclectic and feels like they raided said grandmas’ house for all their furniture. All of that is a positive in my book.
Emily ordered a caramel latte and I got my usual iced americano and we split a warmed up cinnamon roll for breakfast. It didn’t take too long for our drinks and roll to come out. The americano was as dark as the night sky and that was a good sign. I took a sip and was instantly in heaven. This was, without a doubt, the best americano I’ve ever had. Emily was smitten with her caramel latte and we both loved the cinnamon roll.
We stuck around a bit longer than intended because we both just loved the vibe of the place and the baristas make us feel really welcomed. If I lived in Galesburg, this would be the only coffeehouse I would visit.
Sidenote: They do have stickers, pins, shirts and other merch if you are looking for that kind of stuff. We both got some stickers and pins while Emily also grabbed a nice looking long sleeve tye-dye shirt. Their merch has a Jimi Hendrix vibe to it, which fits with the vibe of the place.

Friendly owner & staff. Always has different foods on the menu
We had some time before our train, so we stopped in for a bit.
It’s walking distance to the depot, and worth it.
Lovely little coffee shop. Great coffee. I had a blueberry muffin that was moist and tasty.
Good prices.
Relaxed atmosphere, they weren’t trying to be kitschy or pretentious. Just a nice place
