Problem: The Beehive was hands down my favorite coffee shop in college. That's certainly not the case anymore. Back in 2006-2008, there were three spacious rooms to sit in, eclectic furniture and art on sale, a great mix customers, with older locals alongside college kids, and reliable Internet access. It was a go-to place whenever a few friends and I needed to get school work done. We'd sprawl across a table with our laptops, sipping on coffee and picking up snacks. I can't see it being a really effective study place now. The quirky decor hasn't changed, but a lot else has. Two of the three rooms that were used for seating were closed off, so that a bar could take its place. (As if there weren't enough bars on East Carson Street.) The remaining room is very long and narrow, and feels crowded. The decor, which has always had 90's bohemian feel, just seems kind of dated. They've also gotten a liquor license, which I think brings in the wrong kind of crowd for a coffee shop. Of course, a place like this should really be rated on the coffee and food, but my two visits there this year were sub par. One of those times I got a veggie hummus sandwich that was pre-wrapped on display in the fridge, but it was squished and didn't taste very fresh. The other time I got an iced coffee, which I immediately regretted buying as soon as I took a sip. It was extremely watery and had a peculiar aftertaste. I wished I had just gotten a drink from Starbucks or Big Dog Coffee on Sarah Street instead.

Problem: We had takeout tonight. . My wife had the Pad Thai, and it was tasteless. I had a cashew with shrimp dish with 6 hotness but it wasn't very hot at all(They have a hotness scale of 1-5, so they should have known I was looking for something very spicy.) Krua Thai Cuisine restaurant is better.

Problem: I liked the carne asada cheese crisp and ceviche a lot. I ordered the carne asada chimichanga enchilada style (meaning they put some sauce on top). I thought the sauce was good, but the meat itself was only ok. I was generally satisfied with my meal though. The service was very nice. Also, the portions are huuuuuge, so come hungry or be prepared to take some food home afterward.

Problem: Really nice and helpful staff. But...what's up with the craze of cutting pizza in squares? Not all people like eating pizza with a fork and in some countries, it's against the law. However, here in the land of the free, some like to eat pizza with a fork, especially when it's right out of the oven. Unfortunately, the flimsy plastic utensils at Mr. Scribs are borderline useless after a few cuts due to the heat of the pizza and pressure required to sculpt the right sized bite. Speaking of bite, I asked for extra sauce and barely got any at all. What if I hadn't ordered extra sauce? Things to ponder. Anyway, the cheese mix was heavy on cheddar which leaves a nacho aftertaste post swallow. On to the nit-pickey stuff, the parmesan cheese shakers clogged easy. Standard you might say but that's a sign of low grade cheese and possibly being stale. No beer either. Two stars because it was at least edible. I will not be back nor would I recommend it to a friend.
