What people say, in short
Many people recommend The Hive, and one commenter suggests it in particular for people in far south Austin. One commenter calls the south Austin shop cute and quirky, with a cozy indoor area and a kid-friendly back patio, and another describes it as a coffee shop that also serves drinks. A commenter who lives farther south says it is always busy, but one commenter notes it was under interior repairs at the time, with much of the seating outdoors.
