What happened after Food Paradise?

The Beehive Cafe was featured on the episode 'Open 24 Hours,' spotlighting a scratch-made breakfast and lunch cafe in Bristol's historic waterfront district. The counter-service cafe makes its food and baked goods in house or at its own Beehive Pantry kitchen, and serves breakfast burritos, avocado toast, and specialty coffee drinks, according to its website. In September 2026, the cafe's website (thebeehivecafe.com) showed a live online ordering system alongside current dine-in, drinks, and gift-card menus. Yelp's listing for the cafe, updated May 2026, carried more than 600 reviews under its Coffee & Tea category, and Google Places recorded the business as operational at 10 Franklin Street. The cafe describes itself on its site as 'your favorite local cafe,' with a focus on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.
