    Belgian sugar waffles, cappuccino, breakfast burrito. Do it, your soul will thank you.

    If u don't get here early, u will NEVER get to try an Almond Croissant. Not to mention the crafted coffees. When u break free of the Starbucks craze, Hobbs really is what a coffee house should be.

    Generally pleased with the service and selection. Good food, coffee and cupcakes. Occasionally, they advertise something and its unavailable. The chai latte uses chai tea bags with steamed milk.

    This place is very consistent. The "hot" drinks are always lukewarm, the soymilk is always curdled, and the coffee and espresso-based drinks always have ample grounds at the bottom of the cup.

    Come here for the food. Lattes are Meh. But the food here whether baked good or from the grill is worth it.

    Try the weekend brunch specials. They are all made from scratch and different every week.

    If the guy with small beard and glasses is there Get him to make your latte. It was stupidly awesomlicious.

    the coffee and bread is very serious stuff. bagles are small chewy brooklyn classic, very good, not the airy type.

    This place sucks. Always 15 - 20 minutes of waiting for any drink that involves espresso. And coffee is as bad a Dunkin’ Donuts across the street. Avoid this place at all cost.

    Be prepared to wait.... Pr-COVID was bad..... Post COVID almost makes this place not worth it.
