    Very spacious, with lots of seating.
    Barbara B.

    First time coming in for breakfast. It's surprisingly spacious inside, since it looks like an old victorian house on the outside. It has stairs to enter the building. Parking is on the street and metered. Inside is bright, with ample seating. We were greeted immediately, and seated quickly. I really liked the set up, and the menu is surprisingly diverse. Our waitress was very friendly, and she said they have a in house Cinnamon-Orange blended tea, served hot or cold. We both ordered a hot cup each, it was bold, and we loved it. We ordered the Grits breakfast and the Chorizo Scramble with the Cherry Almond Coffeecake (seasonal). We actually got to try the Bluberry Coffeecake too. Both were fresh and light, so good! Our food was prepared rather fast. We really enjoyed what we ordered, and our server was delightful. We feel it was great service and food.

    Would highly recommend this gem. Nested off a random street downtown, parking may be tough but there's plenty of metered spots. Menu is seriously huge, something for everyone. The food itself was flavorful and the portions are huge! Service was very home-grown and friendly. Definitely coming back to explore the menu.

    Surprisingly cute interior. Homey and welcoming

    As a well seasoned and very fair yelper, please take my comment literally. I don't hand out undeserved five stars unless rightfully earned. This new Hobees location popped up about a year ago practically in my back yard. In the last two weeks, my partner and I have eaten brunch here twice. The first time we ordered an ABLT and the Stanford Cardinal omelett. We mistakenly ordered alternate sides and not the coffee cake. The sides were amazing, but we had no idea how good the blueberry coffee cake was. The ambiance here is inviting, bright, homey... decorated with mural art and plants. The patio is huge and open. Everything is tidy, clean and put together. The service has not disappointed. I've personally had interactions with Austin, Zoe and Daisy. All three are passionate about their job, friendly, personal and attentive. There's no room to complain regarding service. Food- the second visit we ordered the Gouda Morning Grits (we didn't know what to expect) and South of the Border omelette with coffee cake as our side. As mentioned, ABLT and Stanford omlette first visit. Let me summarize- we are blown away at the creativity and palette of the menu maker(s). We've been to all the brunch places in San Jose, not expecting to be blown away, but this place is different. They experiment and perfect flavor profiles that mesh together like a story. Seriously, the Gouda grits dish had my partner and I talking about it then entire time, and also on our walk home. The Stanford omlette was perfect and what we wanted. The green chile sauce was amazing. The other two dishes were also elevated from the run of the mill Bills Cafe standards. The only hurdle to even slightly mention might be parking, but I've lived long enough in San Jose to improvise, adapt and overcome. Parking lots can cost as much as building rent in per saw footage cost. In order to keep prices as reasonable as possible in today's economy, I don't want an upcharge of 5$ in my food for convenient parking. Need to walk off that superior coffee cake anyway. Price points are well below other notable brunch establishments. We will be repeat customers. There will be lines out the door. Don't look this place over and try it before the waits reflect the quality of the food. This brunch place, and staff, have truly earned my five stars.

    I love Hobee's generally and this location specifically. The patio is gorgeous in the spring and it's always a delight to enjoy coffee cake in the sun. Service this time, though, was painfully slow.

    Can't believe I haven't tried this place before being a San Jose native. I plan on making up for lost time. The food was stellar. Has all the traditional breakfast diner hits. Decided to get the Stanford Cardinal Omelette and would get again. Pretty good sized portion. They offer a range of side options and variations on Hashbrowns which were my favorite part. Their famous Coffee Cake is a must. The two of us split one and it was almost too much food. Negatives revolve around the service. Took quite a while to get my order in. Nobody took our drink order to begin. We had to ask multiple times for creamer and missed refills. We did not have to wait for a seat and came on a Sunday morning!

    Came here because it's a new brunch spot and I wanted to check it out. We got the salmon eggs bennie and the sweet potato breakfast plate. Service was a bit slow in terms of refilling water and getting the check but they just opened so maybe it was just one of those days. The coffee cake was superrrr soft. I can see why people mention the coffee cake. It was not too sweet not too dense. Very yummy. 10/10 The rest of the breakfast was not that amazing. The eggs Benedict was lack luster compared to other places I've tried. The sauce was too much, and the capers definitely made the balance all over the place. I've had cooked fish in my eggs Benedict before but this one didn't feel like it was part of the meal. Would pass on this next time. I tried my friends breakfast plate, and it was okay but it wasn't amazing. Not very memorable. I would pass on this place.

    It's been awhile since I've been to Hobee's. Eons actually. So, I was happy to see them recently open up a location in downtown San Jose in the former Ludwig's German Table site. I love this location with the Victorian house and spacious tiled patio. We were greeted and seated very quickly and our waitress Zoe was very friendly! We ordered a Classic Eggs Benedict, Turkey Avocado Tomato Sandwich and Danny's Chicken Pasta. The Eggs Benedict was very average and did not have much flavor. Everything was cooked well - poached eggs, hollandaise sauce but the bun was hard and overcooked and it just did not have any flavor. The potatoes were good! I'm bummed one of us didn't order the chocolate chip banana coffee cake! Danny's Chicken Pasta was an unusual dish. It's definitely not an Italian dish. It reminded me of when your at home and you start throwing different ingredients together to make some kind of comfort food and throw it in a bowl to eat in front of the TV. Was the food great? Not really. It was just okay. However, I still like the atmosphere, good vibe and the service was good. If I had never been to a Hobee's before I would have given it 3.5 stars. I do look forward to going back when the weather is good to sit in the patio and hopefully the food will be better.

    I've been to Hobee's before, but this was my first time at this new location. Service was great and the staff was attentive and kind. It's well lit inside and has a great overall vibe. I ordered the "Gigi's favorite" eggs benedict and was a little underwhelmed. Sadly the yolks were fully cooked for me and everyone else at my table who ordered the eggs benedict. I would have loved a runny yolk. The bread was also really thick. I also tried their famous blueberry coffee cake. It came out warm, with a dollop of butter on top. It was good and the butter added a nice touch.

    We showed up on a Saturday with our pups and asked the waitress at the front if they had outdoor seating. She said yes and told us to go outside and grab a table. We did and 15-20 minutes went by and no one came out to serve us so we had to go back in and ask. It seemed like whoever told us must have forgotten. We ordered the half and half benedict and chilaquiles. The chilaquiles was good but the Benedict was lack luster (both flavors). Overall I would say this place is just okay - definitely could work on the service.

    Love hobee's! I'm not sure how long this location has been here but I'm happy to discover it. I ordered to go for lunch, smoothies are amazing here!

    Blueberry coffee cake- not too sweet
    Benjamin L.

    I thought the overall good was just okay. We had to wait quite a while just to be served. The blueberry coffee cake is their most popular item. It's got a decent crunch but the flavor is just okay. Not too flavorful. The eggs Benedict were fine. The salmon one was solid and not too fishy. The flavor was just okay. The lemon ricotta pancakes were mediocre. Unfortunately a little bland. For the price, I was a little disappointed with the food. There are better brunch places around. It looks nice inside

    Glad your back HOBEES!!!! Yum!
    Junior A.

    Yum on everything!!!! Glad you're back I thought I lost you like sweet tomatoes!!!! Salmon and Eggs and Ube Pancakes! Hey reminds me of Guam!

I've visited the Hapa's on Lincoln and this location has a much more relaxed vibe. I much prefer the outdoor beer garden vibe vs. the warehouse vibe. We parked in the adjacent SAP parking lot ($40) and walked over, but there appeared to be plenty of metered street parking available out front. They had various drinks on tap ranging in price from $6-$8. I tried the Grumpy Gecko Sour ($8) and my sister tried the Hard Cider ($7). The sour is said to have hints of strawberry, raspberry, and passionfruit. If you enjoy sours, this drink is for you. The hard cider is said to have hints of apple cider with guava and mango. The guava is pleasantly fragrant. We are both more wine girlies than beer gals, but we both agreed that we liked the hard cider. They have a row of trailer restrooms, but I can't speak to the condition as no one in our party needed to use the restroom during our visit. There was also a taco truck parked out front the day we visited and I believe the food truck selection rotates daily.

The menu has a good number of appetizers and food which is enough I'd say. I do feel like they could've had better food items in replacement of some of the other stuff. I was hoping they'd have hot dogs, tacos, fries, wings, etc. The main thing here seems to be pizza and good beers. I came here with family last Saturday afternoon and we enjoyed our food and sours. Right when we arrived at the front of the line, they had run out of pizzas which was a huge bummer. We ended up ordering up burgers, pretzels, nachos, and beers. I thought their burger was small with bold seasoning. It tasted sort of like Afghan kabob meat which kind of threw me off. Their kettle chip nachos weren't good either; it had little cheese sauce and more of pickled onions. It wasn't what I thought it'd be. I did enjoy their 'everything' pretzel with all three dip sauces. This was flavorful, crispy, and had a nice doughy texture. The sours were good too; I had their guava sour and fruit punch sour. I think next time, I'll just get a cocktail from the main bar inside Valley Goat. We had a really good time here and I definitely want to come back again. This time, I want to try their pizza and sausages!

I've come multiple times, solo, and with friends, and I've never had a bad experience. The service has always been consistent in the way that this establishment always take care of their guests. Every guest around you is always having a good time. This is a key component that you want to experience in a restaurant setting. Masha took care of me today (and multiple other customers at the same time.) I observed and received nothing short of what is expected in a restaurant setting in Mountain View on Castro Street: Quality service, and great suggestions. I think guests sometimes overlook the novelty of being able to enjoy your time in the establishment you choose to dine at. Folks seem to be in such a rush these days. It's nice to slow down and enjoy the sunshine and hustle/bustle of the world around while enjoying a quality meal and some sunshine or indoors while letting the wind sweep your table top. P.s. if you ever have some issues with your experience--talk to the staff. Don't leave a low quality yelp review. It doesn't help anything besides, perhaps, one's self esteem.

We also ordered some jager fries (fries with mushroom gravy/jager sauce, cheese, and green onions). The wrapped sausage was the standout! We also ordered two half liter beers - I love the selection of German beers and local beers. This being a biergarten, of course we went German. Overall, a beautiful way to spend an afternoon! I would definitely try non-happy hour menu items and try to make my way down their beer list.
