OK, so it's February and the outdoor cafe may not look very appetizing now, but we have been getting those 50 to 60 degree days and this little gem is a perfect breakfast or lunch spot, inside or out. I am not turning my blogs into foodie raves, that I'll leave to the experts. However, I do have an all-time, year round favorite cafe with a waterview in Bristol, RI. The Bee Hive hits all the high marks for me, from the outdoor seating for people watching, the cozy upstairs nook to the fab sandwiches and desserts.
The breads are homemade and you haven't lived until you try the grilled cheese, not like your mom made but unbelievably yummy. Sounds crazy, but another fave is the butternut squash sandwich, with carmelized onions and pesto. I'm permanently hooked on this one. Perfect ending is the bread pudding swimming in warm carmel sauce made in-house. As you can see, I've ordered it with a specialty coffee to finish off my lunch get-away. Remember, a little breakfast or lunch at the Bee Hive, tucked away just up the street from Independence Park will brighten up winter and give you a go-to place this summer.
