I loved everything about this place! The environment is so cute and comfortable and the employees were incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I love that all profits made here are donated to a local charity! The food was absolutely incredible. I had the salmon avocado toast and it was perfect! My son had two different crumpets and loved them both! The berry crumpet was amazing and he also loved the Nutella crumpet. I really enjoyed my lavender vanilla latte with hemp milk. I cannot wait to come back and try everything on the menu!

Nice location, We found parking in front. This is a good place to start your walk after coffee and breakfast. I had the Epic breakfast. Egg, provolone and bacon with grapes. Very tasty

Vanilla Lavender Mocha with oat milk was amazing! Lovely, spacious place to meet with friends. They have so many great drinks (h/c) on the menu! This is my second time and I really like the atmosphere of this place. Really quiet and clean!

The environment was fantastic! That’s what satisfied me the most. I arrived and there was street parking surrounding, but that could be of concern when it gets busy. I was kindly greeted by the staff and was treated well. I didn’t venture too far into their food/beverage offerings, as I only had a drip coffee, but everything about the experience was wonderful (coffee too). The other patrons (all of whom were respectful) were working professionals and maybe a retiree or two. Focused, calm environment with appropriate noise level in a relaxed setting right across from the waterfront. Take your coffee and walk to Marsh Park for a short stroll! Thanks Queen Bee, I’ll be back!

Quiet neighborhood joint, located next to a senior living complex. Nice location next to the waterfront, great to pick up coffee and drink by the water. But if you prefer to sit in, I liked the relaxed cloth upholstered chairs airy ambiance. There’s variety of seating, 4-seater tables, a large communal table and a small nook for kids. The food is standard fare, nothing special about either the pick of coffee beans or bakery items. 100% a great place to get some work done in relative solitude.

Ordered a Spanish latte and avocado toast. The Spanish latte was something I have never had, the barista suggested me that and its one of the best coffee I have ever had. Gonna come back for that for sure. Avocado toast was good too, could have been better. The vibe is really cozy and there are lot of street parking options. The only fact I was a but sad about was that they only had 2 vegetarian options and they were out of 1- the veggie sandwich. They also did not have burrata cheese so we ended up having other cheese on avocado toast too. A tad bit disappointing for a Saturday morning.

If you have kiddos, you know that not all places are kiddo friendly. Queen Bee definitely is! The staff at Queen Bee were friendly, fast, and the food was amazing. There's a little play area suitable for toddlers. Overall a great experience.
