Café on John Street
Good coffee. Fresh food. No complications.
The Hive is a small café in the middle of Coonabarabran. Grab something quick from the ready-to-eat counter, or pull up a seat and watch the town go by with family and friends.

“Well done Hive!”
From the kitchen
Breakfast, brunch and a proper lunch.
Simple food done fresh and tasty. And if you come in often, keep an eye on the specials: they change up regularly, so there's usually something new to try.
Breakfast
Smashed avo on sourdough
Toasted sourdough, poached eggs, feta, bacon and cherry tomatoes.
Lunch
Steak sandwich
On a black sesame Turkish roll with bacon, cheese and caramelised onion, chips on the side.
Lunch
Pulled pork burger
Brioche bun, slaw and a tray of chips. Easy to take away.
Smoked salmon bagels
Cream cheese, capers, red onion, chives.
Pulled pork burger
With slaw and chips, ready to go.
Pumpkin soup
Sour cream, chives and garlic bread.
The coffee
The reason people come back.
Very good beans and a well made cup. Stay for a flat white with a little shortbread on the side, or take one for the road.
“Coffee was one of the best I have had - no exaggeration here - it was great!!”
Try the long black
One regular's tip: it's the best way to really taste the beans.
Or grab one to go
Quick stop on the way through town? Coffee and food are available to take away.
The sweet counter
Something sweet with your coffee.
Cupcakes, cookies, brownies, rocky road and meringues from the café counter. Have one with your coffee, or take a box home.
Grazing boxes, boards and ready-made meals
Catering for a get-together, or dinner sorted for the week? Give the café a call and have a chat about what you need.
However you like it
In and out, or stay a while.
On the go
The ready-to-eat counter is stocked for a quick meal on the go. Grab a coffee and something from the cabinet and you're back on the road in minutes.

Great cafe with very good beans. Would recommend their long black to really taste their beans. Food is great, and their specials rotate in a unique and adventurous way.
