Beehive Cafe & Juice Bar

Excellent spot for smoothies, juices, and healthy gourmet food. The chef always has such a bright and welcoming sense of humor. I specifically love getting the black mamba smoothie here, its really good! Especially if you like ginger. It's also a health food store where you can find alot of those rarer items that are hard to find elsewhere. Hidden gem! 👌🏽💫

After canvassing the internet to find places in Miami with healthy vegan/macrobiotic food as well as local kombucha, Beehive rose to the top of the list. We love a good natural food store, and it is always a treat when they have a cafe or juice bar inside; Beehive was even better than we were hoping. After a walk around the aisles inspecting things like sprouted lentils, essential oils, and local honey, we were impressed with the wide variety of local and regional kombucha in their fridge: Brewing Life, Counter Culture, Golda, Tribucha, and Walker Bros. They also have rotating flavors of draft kombucha at their juice bar (Counter Culture at the time of our visit). After sitting down, we were warmly greeted by Carlos the owner and his friendly staff who were busily preparing smoothies and peeling sweet potatoes for their latest concoction. They have a different special meal of the day everyday; when we went, it was the “tres amigos,” which is a sweet potato/plantain mixture on top of a layer of mashed red beans, topped with homemade pico de gallo. We loved this weird and cool dish, which came with a choice of sides (e.g. brown rice, sautéed vegetables). We also enjoyed the broccoli tofu quiche and the house salad. As we sat savoring our meal and sipping kombucha, we were offered samples of various tasty things: the soup of the day, tofu chicharrones, the “hulk” smoothie, and the chagaccino drink. All delicious and “highly addictive.” The smoothies are innovative combinations of classic high quality ingredients that come together in delicious harmony. I went with a full-size version of the “iron man” and loved it. We had such a fantastic time chatting with Carlos who is clearly such a cornerstone in the Miami health food scene and has been for decades. He genuinely loves what he does, and none of his customers can resist his charm (or his killer smoothies).

Great place with vegetarian and vegan options. Carlos puts his soul into the cafe and has so many regulars. Many healthy delicious options - I want to eat and drink everything they have - salads, soups, raw cakes, baked brownies, empanadas, etc. Yummy. Can't wait to visit again.

I ordered the soy and plantain casserole pictured below that came with some steamed vegetables. I also ordered the vegetable malanga soup which was really good. I then ordered a green juice. This meal was completely meatless which I need to do more of. The green juice was straight outta the blender fresh. There was a little wait Christmas Eve 2022, but overall good

I got the “kitchen sink” smoothie and the mushroom empanada and everything was absolutely delicious! I should’ve ordered more empanadas but definitely will be back and will bring friends!

I adore Beehive, it is one of a kind! The food is incredible, and Carlos's service is always delivered with a smile, and enthusiasm. The varied menu, with abundant plant based protein options (tofu, seitan, beans, lentils!), feels like home cooking. The prices are fair, and the adjacent health food store has truly everything you may need. This is my all-time favorite place to go out for food in Miami. Tell all of your friends. Or don’t and keep it a secret – this place is mineeee now!

I sincerely love this place. The smoothies always taste delicious and fresh. They have all the natural herbal blends you can think of. They have seamoss! I went for thyme and licorice root. The selection was amazing and they also have a juice bar! Thank you for being kind. Can’t wait to come back 💖

This place is amazing!! I’m vegan and I felt like this was the holy Mecca. My mother purchased the mojito juice and I got a baked tofu sandwich which was stacked with veggies and very filling. We also got the samosa and picadillo empanadas as well as a brownie to share. Everything was excellent and there were so many samples! Next time I’ll be getting the tempeh salad and rainforest smoothie

I am suprised that I haven't written a review for this gem of a spot in Miami ! This is one of my fav plant based spots in Miami. It is an old school juice place with plant based friendly eats. I love a good juice spot. Their menu is simple and easy to order from. I got a veggie sandwich and a protein smoothie with açaí. Everything is so fresh and delicious. I can't wait to come back to the to the daily specials ! Decent prices and excellent service. I love to grab and go at this spot . It has groceries as well. Highly recommend this spot

The food is so delicious. I had the Tempeh salad today. The service is very friendly and I love the authentic atmosphere. I highly recommend this joint. I love the counter and the ambiance. Real vegan vibes. Classic. Don't ever change.

I've been visiting Beehive Cafe & Juice Bar for a very long time and I've never been disappointed. Their soups are always fantastic, their tuna sandwich is out of this world delicious. I love their empanadas and desserts. Their vegetable juices are phenomenal, and l frequently stop just to get their kombucha which is freshly made by a local vendor. Even as I write this review, I would love to go now and pick up a few delicious things..,

The best juice bar and a hidden GEM for homemade food! Whether you're craving empanadas, tres amigos, soy picadillo, or just an amazing smoothie... this is your SPOT! They have different lunch specials every single day and the chef makes you feel right at home! Highly recommend trying their homemade desserts!

This place had excellent customer employee relations. They greeted every customer that came in, offered samples of some lunch specials, made jokes and just had fun. There is a bit of a wait, however you should know that everything is fresh. And when I say a bit of a wait I don't mean wait like 30 minutes. I mean a little less, but still worth it seeing as how everything is made to order and delicious. The restaurant is located in a health food shop. The restaurant itself serves vegan items. They're pretty busy, meaning there's a constant flow of customers but they get to you. We ordered the an artichoke empanada, it was great. We also ordered a vegetable sandwich with the addition of hummus and micro greens. Washed it done with a mojito (no alcoholic) fresh pressed juice. The sandwich came with a sauce, it was delicious. And we ordered a bowl of the lentil soup . Everything was fantastic! Eat well live well!

Everything here is vegan and delicious! Came here with high recommendations of a friend, decided to try a fruit smoothie and stayed to eat a large bowl of lentils. So good and filling and healthy! Owner is super nice and funny. Great place :)

I loveeeeeee Beehive! A staple in my life. The lentil soup is AMAZING!!!! You need to try it and I don't even like lentils. Beehive is a great spot in Miami that deserves more love

Went for a smoothie (what should be their bread and butter, other than juices) and they don't make any on Sundays. Seems bizarre to me since they have all the ingredients readily available.

I have been going to Beehive for years, but it's been about a year since my last order as I moved a little farther away. I'm not sure if Carlos is still there or not, but today's order seemed "off". The dough on the samosa empanada was very undercooked and the Mojito juice hardly had flavor, almost like it had been watered down. It definitely was not the bright beet/ginger flavor I remembered so fondly. The corn and soy Picadillo empanadas were still great, but I only received 1 of the 2 soy Picadillo empanadas we ordered. I hope today was just a fluke as Beehive has always been such a delight. Not giving up yet!

Went there with my vegan friends who always introduce me to the most amazing hidden vegan gems! They didn't disappoint again! The place is more of a natural foods market and less of a restaurant only because of the size difference, but the quality is great! I tried a roasted eggplant, side of kale slaw and a side of soy Piccadillo! I loved it all. I'm not sure why I didn't take a picture of it! Maybe it just caught me by surprise and completely distracted me... Carlos, one of the guys in the food scene or "Honey" as he likes to be called ; ) was so nice and funny and personable! He made the experience all the better!! Without Carlos, I think it would've been just ok but Carlos took the experience up a notch!! I enjoyed the soups, the food, even the American style coffee and the beat part was the company I was with! I definitely want to try other dishes there as well as their juices and smoothies!

Fantastic place for conversation and good food. The ambiance is like a small deli to the side of a store, but the food and vibe make up for it. If you're visiting Miami, worth a visit to this out of the way destination.

Amazing juice bar! Amazing chef! Love the food, love the vibes, the food is always great tasting and it's always fresh the store is packed with a lot of "alternatives" & if I lived closer would come hete everyday to get amazing juices

I highly recommend bee hive feeling hungry not feeling well they know what to recommend or what to do

One of Miami's best vegetarian/vegan gem! They have juices, smoothies and delicious clean food at an even better price. Located inside of a health store, meanwhile waiting for the order to be ready you can easily browse for Vitamins and an array of supplies to help maintain our bodies healthy ! Definitely worth the drive over

I had driven past this place a couple times and thought it was just a health store but it's so much more than that. They prepared me a DELICIOUS and healthy meal. I ordered a regular sized prescription juice, a tuna sandwich, and a couple of the tofu chicharrones. To begin, I don't know how they did it but the tofu tastes like real chicharrón. It is so crunchy and crisp. So well seasoned. Next, the tuna sandwich was absolutely amazing. The tuna was so fresh and so were the veggies inside. The bread is like a multigrain bread and it has little seeds inside. The savory of the tuna, mixed with the fresh and vibrant vegetables, plus the seeds and earthiness of the bread... it was the perfect mix of textures and flavors. AND it came with this miso dressing that tastes a lot like a garlic lemon dip they give at cuban restaurant. It's a little acidic and lemony and completes this sandwich. Lastly, I had the prescription juice which had apple, cucumber, kale, radish, pineapple, etc. I added sea moss for $2 extra. All in all, this was a very healthy and delicious meal for that I wasn't expecting to be THIS good. But it was. The staff was very friendly and inviting. It felt like I was home. It was also very clean. I'll be returning very soon and with friends!

Beehive is a gem from another era. Delicious home cooked healthy food vegan options. Delicious juices and always friendly staff. You can peruse the vitamin and supplement shop and ask the owner Bob and his daughter as well as the other staff all about your needs and they are always there with expert advice to guide you in the right direction. I have been a customer of theirs for years. I highly recommend the Beehive!

This is one of my favorite eateries in Miami. Whenever I'm back home, I try to squeeze in as many visits as possible. I even went so far as to schedule a dentist appointment with a new dentist once just because it was around the corner from Beehive and it would give me an excuse to swing by. The empanadas are incredible. The salads are fresh and colorful. Carlos is a sweetheart and a fantastic storyteller. He once shared with me that an ex partner introduced him to vegan food and that he never really saw any use in turning back after that. His inventiveness in the kitchen is the exact sort that has omnivores keep coming back to his counter again and again.

Now that I'm vegan, I have an entirely new appreciation for Beehive Juice Bar. The meal I had today was absolutely spectacular, and not for "vegan food." It was a delicious meal by any standard and for any diner. Since the place was busy, Carlos gave us a few samples of his soup du jour to start off with--a lovely split pea and carrot delight that I must order a bowl of soon. Today though, I was too intrigued by the entree served to the diner next to me so I ordered that--a Seitan pie paired with ​kale slaw. The crust on the Seitan Pie was flaky and the filling had a lot of umami flavor imparted by the mushrooms and some other lovely ingredients, with onion and seitan to round out the flavors. I couldn't resist getting the Mojito juice again​ and took two slices of vegan strawberry​ pie home for later, as well as a couple of empanadas for my son who has a long day today. The empanadas were made fresh today, as was the entree pie I had. Carlos the head chef at Beehive Juice Bar is a culinary genius. I saw an article about him and his cooking at the counter dated 2004. Come on, Miami Herald--it's time for a new write-up on this incredible food and friendly dining space.

I got a new found love for eating cleaning and this place was really good. They make everything from scratch and is vegetarian. They change what they make every day so might be hard to get what I got but let me tell you. I've been to vegan places to try the food and this one by far had the tastiest food ever. And they also have goodies for healthy freaks :)

This place is THE SPOT. Doesn't matter if your vegetarian or not! Please try the tofu chicharrón and just about anything Carlitos is dishing out on any given day. Rainforest smoothie- also a must! 5 stars!

This independently owned health store is awesome. They have so much stuff, it really beats any other health store that promotes a healthy lifestyle. I come here periodically to buy herbs to make herbal teas. They have lots of herbs that are organic and are sold by weight. It really works out better to buy the lose herbs instead of packaged teas, everything is enhanced. About the counter service. They have lots of goodies that are vegan/vegetarian. I like to pick up samosas, empanadas, sometimes they have rice bowls, and they also have juices and smoothies. I also get wheat grass and ginger shots here, because the stuff is organic. They also sell hemp oil. You have to ask for it.

The Beehive is a health food store that has a little cafe with a counter in the back. I love this place. Its so close to home. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in, the staff is kind and helpful. I truly enjoy getting my healthy juices here, I always walk out with a smile. I discovered this place last month and have been here every single day since then! Delicious smoothies, sandwiches, salads and soups, at prices you cant beat. At first I were a little thrown off cause the place looks very rinky dinky, but don't let that deter you from enjoying some amazing food and juices. Carlos is behind the counter, pouring out samples of the day's specials so that you can pick which ones you want. Carlos is friendly and funny, making sure that you're happy there. I had the tuna sandwich,with a side salad, and the raw fruit pie. I loved it all! Carlos gave us a taste of the house smoothie, and was amazing. Carlos offered me samples of different things to try he was cracking jokes the whole time. He was also so courteous as to pull a chair out and bring me my sandwich and juice drink. All in all, it's a nice place to come to at least weekly or daily to have lunch and a healthy smoothie. I can't wait to go back and eat some more yummy healthy food!

As a vegan who lives about a mile away, I would love to shop there regularly. But each time I go the customer service sucks. I just left there again now, shaking my head after tying to order food and being ignored. Too bad.

Can't wait to go back! I needed lunch as I was driving home and I saw this on the side of the street so decided to pull in because I love juices. This place is so interesting and the staff's great. I chose to get the sandwich with hummus and couldn't pick which juice/smoothie I wanted so Carlos let me have a sample of the one they were currently making which was the Iron Man. I ended up getting that one because it tasted so good. The smoothie and sandwich were so delicious! Prices are really great too.

Love Love Love this place!! Carlos is the best! Food is awesome! Tuna salad is my favorite and his vegan dishes are super yummy! My go to place when I haven't been eating well and my body needs a boost.

Amazing customer service, I walked in and told them that I'd never been there before. They literally brought me a sampler to try their best meals. They were super nice, very thankful for their warm welcome!

Very unassuming and very unexpected but Beehive's got some items I need regularly in my life. Winners for me here range however I usually end up ordering the same and very rarely venture out which is a really bad thing since everything I've tried has never disappointed. Pastelito with guava and cheese (not really cheese but you'd never know) is awesome and every visit I make sure to buy a good 2 for me and 1 to share. The cupcakes are from "Tom" the sole baker for Unreal Foods who you'll usually find at fresh markets throughout the city or other local spots where he drops off. I'll pick up every now and then from Beehive cause I'm so trusting of the source- the vegan cupcakes are pretty darn good. Another regular on the menu for me is the Rainforest smoothie since I tend to go with the sweeter mixes and this one is perfect. I've had the soup and I've also had the empanada looking thing which is called Saltenia...I have no idea what's inside to know exactly what I'm eating but the flavors work and whatever is in there...it's good and it's meat free. I knock off a star ONLY because the location itself although better than before can still be a little overwhelming to handle. If the place is packed which it usually is during the week for lunch, there is ZERO parking and strict signs of towing if you go anywhere other than the market's spaces. I tend to get my items to go since I rarely find a space but yet none of this deters me from returning. The owner Carlos is funny and outgoing. He's got jokes for days and will always offer soup and/or kombucha samples...soooooo I don't complain.

Beehive is a South Miami gem and a savior for when you need delicious vegan options. I used to come to their old location regularly, and the new location is even better. My favorite dish from there is the mushroom seitan pie with roasted sweet potatoes on the side. It is the best vegan comfort meal you could ask for. I would pay good money for the recipe! Some other items that I love from there are the artichoke empanadas, brownies, and the Tres Amigos dish. I have never had anything here that I didn't like. The sandwiches are PACKED with veggies and are an amazing value. I sampled a rainforest smoothie and that was wonderful as well. Carlos (I believe the owner of the cafe?) is super friendly. He is very welcoming and always has a good selection of food to choose from for the day. It's obvious that he truly cares about both the food quality and experience, and I appreciate that a lot. Sometimes the wait time can be a bit long, so come when you have a decent amount of time to sit and enjoy your meal. Also, if you are environmentally conscious, the silverware is plastic so bring your reusables. I will definitely be back often. I can not recommend this place enough!

Wow what an incredible little spot. We tried the Acai bowl, the mushroom empanada and the hummus pita sandwich. All the ingredients were super freah and delicious. The staff was very friendly and willing to help you make a choice you will certainly love. This is a definitively must return spot.

Beehive juice bar is a little health nut gem. Food bar on one side. The food servers are really nice, especially the one older gentlemen that I've seen a few times. Most options are vegetarian/vegan. I've had vegan empanadas and spice cake that were both really tasty. It seems to me like they have a rotating lunch menu, so everything is fresh for that day. I've had many of their smoothies including rain forest, black mamba and kitchen sink. Cheaper than other smoothie stores you would find locally, but not my favorite. Something about the texture makes them taste off to me and i'm not sure why. The store part is interesting, I've walked through it a few times. I would just be careful with the perishables. I've looked through the kombucha section a few times and saw some expired items.

I came in here today because I was too lazy to drive to Sweet Belndz for an açaí bowl and I'm so glad I did! Note: Parking is a mess and the place itself is small, but if you avoid going during peak hours you should be fine. I ordered a small soup, an açaí bowl and ended up taking two spinach empanadas to go. The squash soup was okay but the empanadas were great, a bit thick with the crust but the spinach filling was delicious. One of the guys working there told me they don't have açaí bowls atm but that they were serving another frozen dessert instead that's similar to the açaí but made with frozen bananas. How was it? One word: A-D-O-R-E-I! Just keep in mind there is a noticeable banana taste to it and the açaí was surprisingly not that sweet, which I love, but other people may have different sweetness preferences. So sad that I'll be leaving Miami next week, but I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in town again.

I think this place needs to work a bit better on presentation when they are preparing the food behind the counter(not cleaning up plates, everything dirty) The food is not bad, and neither are the smoothies they always have different kind of specials and I love how they have so many different desert options. But remember, presentation can always make or break a place especially if you are staring at a mess behind the counters or where you're eating and where they are serving your food( left a bad taste in my mouth)

My sandwich was good and the soup was delectable but the place looked really run down and not as clean looking as I would like. I didn't appreciate the guy brooming the floor as I ate. Maybe I came at the wrong time perhaps morning would look cleaner. The store has a lot of great items.

They should wear some gloves. The juices are $10. Ridiculous price especially when they put more of one ingredient than others. I came for a detox juice and i swear i left with just a pure carrot juice for $10. Then i called to speak to the owner and complain because it is unfair for the price they said they would make me another for free next time i came. And when i did he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. The place is dirty too. Should atleast sweep and mop the floors if people are being robbed here for their money.

So grateful for Beehive's! Absolutely love their juices! Love their vegan and gluten free food and desserts! Shopping is also a pleasure in the natural food store.

I always find that they have the best selection of vegan dishes freshly prepared every day. I am not vegan but I do enjoy the creativity put into making meatless dishes that taste fantastic and are beneficial to your health. Their juice bar is on point, no frills, just a juicer and the freshest fruits and veggies in whatever combo you prefer. They also have a menu with suggestions and they are very helpful in giving you suggestions depending on your health needs. I like that they carry a nice selection of herbs, powders, and other natural health related items. You can find anything from deodorant to tea, to salt lamps. Everyone is friendly and seems to recognize me even though I don't frequent regularly. The food and juices are reasonably priced and definitely made with love and care.

Amazing vegan spot! All the food is made fresh and is delicious! I am not vegan but I love it here. The guy in charge (i forget his name) is so wonderful. Don't let the outside turn you away because this is a quality food spot.

If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, this would be the situation where it would happen. Quality, healthy food at a fantastic price! One of my favorite spots!

First time there, they claim to he a healthy food place, i felt heart broken to see my lunch reheated into a microwave oven, and my iron Man smoothie having Mott's from concentrate apple juice added to it. The service at the bar is cold but efficient. Good selection of homeopatic medicine

I absolutely love this place. The staff is so polite the owner is always here and greets me with a smile. You can tell that everyone is happy to be here! I recently have taken some interest in becoming a pescaetarian and a great interest in my health. Make sure you check out the little market they have, they have so much variety in health food items, it's like a Healthie's Heaven! In writing this review after my third visit so it's safe to say I'm basing this on consistency (I didn't get LUCKY with good service, it happened each time) First things first - Where else in Miami can you find a vegan pastelito de guyaba y queso?! Hello! I've tried 3 empanadas: Vegan spinach w/almond sauce in a whole wheat crust Saltenia (potatoes and olives - vegan) Soy picadillo! All were so yummy! The tuna sandwich is packed with tuna, beets, carrots, tomatoes, sprouts, and spinach. M U S T drench all in Miso sauce!! It's a delicious garlic white sauce. They also have a spicy papaya sauce if you're into that lol. One visit I took 3 cupcakes to the office. I didn't get to try them, but my boss came up to me and was like I'm upset! Asked him why? He told because I only brought him one cupcake lol! On today's visit I ordered up a rainforest smoothie. That has to be the richest and revitalizing smoothie I have ever had! It contains banana, avocado, carrots, apples, ginger, and lime. There's no better feeling then knowing you're feeding your body right! I would recommend the beehive time and time again. Make sure to follow them on IG also! SYOY!

All natural (but for real) juice bar. Fruit and veggies are raw or frozen, even the juice used for the smoothies are freshly made, rest assured you get what you expect.. and more. I Had the Black Mamba smoothie, $5.50, with acai, banana, spirulina, and a nice little bite of ginger. (So good). Both the smoothie and the price are delicious. I also ordered the soup of the day, which was cream of broccoli. It was also great, I believe everything is vegetarian but I didn't ask what was in it. Definitely tasty and real. The smoothies take some time and they get pretty busy around lunchtime, but you can order ahead. I'm very very happy to have found this gem and will definitely be visiting often.

I've been stopping by this place since it was super tiny located in the corner of bird and 57 avenue. I'm so glad they tore that shopping center down making Beehive open up bigger location. This place is awesome. I find all my organic and fresh products here.

Beehive, the food for what it is, amazing. I have zero guilt after I eat anything from there. The soy empanada, ahhhhmazing. I had a shepherds pie and it was so good. The owner I believe, quirky and familiar with the guest which is always nice. The only reason they are getting four stars is because I wish that the place was a bit more clean.

I am in love with the healthy juice here. This is the real deal, the "Mojito" juice is amazing and the prices are great. They also have the daily specials of lunch very healthy

Great place for healthy and organic food lovers! I had the special of the day which include soup and entrée. Also I had an amazing organic juice. Well managed and quiet spot. It is all about home healthy cooked recipes. Definitely recommend and I will be back here!

First time trying this place it was pretty good! I had the hummus sandwich and everything tasted really fresh. I work near by and always look for good/healthy places to eat for lunch. This place always had such high reviews so I decided to check it out! One thing I can say is don't expect the best service it's a little hole in the wall type of place so they lack on that department. The owner (well at least I think he is) seemed very nice he was passing out samples of a soup he made which was really good. There was a lot of regulars sitting at the bar so I asked a nice guy for his opinion on items. The menu in my opinion should offer more items but again it's not a full blown restaurant. More like a grab n go place. Overall it was good I'd go again !

Yummy vegan food & great friendly ambiance!! People have been coming here for years!! Loved it! Will be back soon!

Quick and delicious smoothies and juices. Price right. Sampled the soup - delicious. Will return in future. Children approved!

My family have been loyal customers for about four and a half years. We usually after school to get smoothies. The owner, Carlos, is a riot and treats us like family. Beehive's food is simple but delicious. I can always count on the Bee to have something yummy when I can't cook.
