Honestly for a first time visit, it was way better than I expected. It was cozy and warm for a cold morning, the food was great like homemade recipes. A Curio type of vibe that I would come back to very soon!

Hobee’s is one of the best places to get breakfast or brunch. Or at any time. They have a great selection of omelets. I have always asked for a side of pico de gallo for my omelet. Only because I like a lil with my food. The Cinnamon orange spice tea is something you definitely need to try. It’s great as a cup of hot tea ☕️ or as a glass of iced tea. Also a must try is the blueberry coffee cake. Everything that we have ever ordered has been delicious.

First time here, I ordered the Stanford omelet with their blueberry coffee cake! Both were delicious! The atmosphere seems very homely and staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely want to try other menu items.

This was the perfect place to rejuvenate after a 20-mile bike ride. I got the Stanford “cardinal” omelette, coffee, orange juice, and the blueberry coffee cake on the side. Next time I’m gonna bring my wife with me because I couldn’t finish the coffee cake by myself! Honestly the vibe in here was great, high quality food and atmosphere – Joe Biden even ate here once! They seem like a cool restaurant that also supports good causes. I appreciate that they have a nice seating area outside with benches as well. Would eat here again!

Parking was poor. The back parking lot has room for only one car width so cars leaving/ coming in can require several cars to back up in tandem. Backup parking at hotel was not easy to find. Good for outdoor seating but after checking in and getting a table, not any server attention for a long time, for example we never were asked if we wanted drinks by anyone. Order was wrong for 3:5 of us. Special order of pears for special topping were bitter as if the butter had gone bad or cleaning fluid was still on grill. They did a great job of adding protein powder to the buttermilk pancakes for me. I love Hobees as a chain but with the parking problems, and getting the orders wrong, I worried that given we have food allergies, I couldn’t trust them to get details right. Sunnyvale and San Jose sites. I give 5 stars to. To be fair. It was a weekend so could have been too busy but it still made our experience poor.

The food is amazing. The service is good. The place could use a refresh. Lots of love plants help, but not enough windows, so not enough natural light makes it darker than necessary. Plus, either the central system is broken or nonexistent, as heaters were placed by the front door and back of the restaurant.
The wait staff is overwhelmed. They were tired and looked it. Don’t get me wrong. Very friendly! But, their eyes and smiles – all stiff. You could tell that they were waiting for the day to come to an end.
But, here’s the best part, no matter how tired they were, they always smiled and NEVER rushed us. That’s why I gave them 5 stars for service.
We ordered breakfast for lunch. Yum! You can’t really go wrong with that. And, they didn’t. Great food.
Overall, a good place to pop in for a bite to eat.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere. Once you go into, you welcome with a great smell of comfort food. I ordered the mountain view omelet, coffee cake, and coffee. My husband had the Benny’s Favorite.

We’ve posted before about this wonderful place and people! Year after year they continue to amaze. We started visiting the Palo Alto Hobee’s and eating breakfast there in 2012 when we were visiting the area, and we eat breakfast there whenever we are in the area. A lot of the staff has been there as long as we have been coming, and we’ve made good friends.
The food can’t be beat (a specialty is their coffee cake, but every item we’ve tried is excellent).
The staff is friendly, attentive, and they make the atmosphere light and exciting (along with other patrons).
Great fun, great food!

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!
