Hobee's

Come on... It's Hobees! A healthy place to get breakfast. If you come, get the original blueberry coffee cake. Always have them put butter on it. It is well worth the few extra calories. Everything we had was delicious . Our two wait staff people were on the ball and always had our cups of coffee and water filled. Very nice. Thank you, Hobees.

Expected a long wait in the morning but was able to get a table quickly. Service was good and fast. We had the Special Autumn Ommi and Gigi’s favorite Benny which was very light and tasty. Others had lemon blueberry pancakes and omelette all of which were good. Of course the star of the show. The coffee cake. Enough to bring home. Only downside is the lack of parking.

The service was good, and the food was also really nice. I recommend the Red White and Blue Blend smoothie.

The food was overall delicious! Customer service was quick & friendly as well. I had the breakfast burger which was really good, a little bit dry because there's no sauce component but I asked for a side of hollandaise & it perfected it. But the burger was really good, cooked well & flavored well. The chilaquiles were also delicious & flavorful & of course the blueberry coffee cake was amazing! Will be back soon!

Enjoyed my normal granola with bananas and iced cinnamon tea…the tea is the best anywhere! Service was amazing (best I’ve had in quite awhile)…haven’t been to this Hobee’s in years…will definitely be back. They have indoor and a nice covered area outside for dining. Parking can be tough, so that you’re aware.

Loved Hobee's! We arrived with a good-sized party and waited no more than five minutes to be sat. Our server was friendly and attentive. The portions were big and fairly priced for how much food you get. We were all happy with our meals, but the highlight was definitely their famous blueberry coffeecake!! I saved mine for the next day, and it was still incredible!! We will be returning time and time again when visiting Palo Alto.

Ordered South of the border omelet with home style hash brown and Raspberry coffee cake and coffee. Wife and father shared an order of Cajun hash. My omelet was delicious, love the coffee cake and coffee. Service was excellent, staff were friendly helpful.

In A Nutshell:

-Hobee's is a mainstay, a legendary neighborhood restaurant in the area.
-I used to come eat here when I worked in Palo Alto.
-The food is still amazing.
-Their Salmon Hash & Eggs w/ the Coffee Cake is a nice, balanced breakfast.

Overall, if you are in Palo Alto & need to find a mom & pop diner for breakfast, I suggest you come here to eat.

Great place for breakfast. Good menu options. Fresh tasting food. I passed on the Coffeecake this time and ate the eggs & pancakes. Everything I have had here is plus. The service stands out with an above and beyond attitude. Cool Cali vibes place.

I often visit my daughter in Santa Cruz and when I do, I often mention what a shame it is that Hobee’s isn’t there anymore. I have changed my diet over the years, gotten healthier, lost weight, but I still wax nostalgic over that towering coffee cake topped with a big round scoop of butter. So when I found myself in Palo Alto, where Hobee’s still lives, with the family, I took them for brunch, hoping the coffee cake would live up to my descriptions. Mind you, it’s been 33 years since my Santa Cruz days. Happily, the brunch was great (I had one of the “bene’s”) and the coffee cake is just as big, fluffy, moist and yummy as I remember. And yes, still a big ol’ scoop of butter. I did not consider this meal to be at odds with my diet, as coffee cake is healthy for the soul.

My favorite food place for breakfast while on buissness trip in Palo Alto. Dining in can take a while but staff is very nice. I did pick up more times because i was always in a hurry.

Super fantastic food, service and environment. Thank you Gabriel and Miguel wonderful experience for the first time eating out in a year. Highly recommended! Indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed poached eggs with toast, hash browns and bacon with decaf coffee. It was phenomenal just like I remember from the good old days. I splurged since I’m on a whole food plant based diet. Looking forward to my next time to dine in here. ❤

The food was absolutely amazing!

A restaurant that provides a varied menu. The staff is friendly and the food is of consistent quality. I'm always satisfied with the breakfast I get.

Hobee's is my absolute favorite place for breakfast. The breakfast quesadilla, breakfast burrito, blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes, and chilli are delicious. Also get a Hobee's iced tea and coffee cake. You won't be sorry.

If you eat at the Palo Alto location on the weekends, ask to sit in Jose's section. He's the best!!!!

Best service and food even when there is a wait but if you go during the week it's a piece of blueberry cake!!

This place is amazing. I would eat here everyday if I could. I ordered the breakfast burrito with the coffee cake side. The side of coffee cake they bring you is enough for an entire meal

Service was good. Food came out good. Prices is typical for Palo Alto. But it’s diner food and the portion is huge so it was worth it. Must try the blueberry coffee Cake. Or at least take a piece home for later.

This place rocks. Great breakfast, overflowing bowls of fruit, good coffee and warm service. Everything you want in a breakfast spot and more. Their homemade hot sauce is great on omelets. Also the coffee cake they give you is bigger than your head. There should be a health warning to split this among the family.

great breakfast. comes with big piece of coffee cake. not too expensive either. highly recommend over the other expensive brunch spots in PA.
