Edit: After conversing with Sam, we returned to Hobba for another chance. The steak baguette, brisket benedict and hotcakes were great and the serving sizes substantial I even had to take the food home. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. The coffee's were great made well and strong and the Hojicha latte special is a must have too they were large. It was really busy today at lunch the place was absolutely packed so you couldn't really hear music but it was still easy to converse in the space and hear people well. Dog friendly so it was super fun being able to pat dogs too. The staff were super attentive this time and we were super well taken care of with water being refilled, cutlery added, sauce on the side offered by multiple servers. Given how full it was, we got coffee in about 15mins with milk alternatives all correctly made. Specials were great and look forward to seeing what next seasons specials are. Would totally recommend coming back for a good catch up since we stayed for just over two hours and repeatedly ordered coffees! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the music was great and the coffee we were served when we sat down. The service was disappointing as not once were we checking in on despite sitting right by the pass. We arrived just as lunch rush was dying down and staff were clocking out but waited maybe 10 minutes for our order to be taken only for our order to not be put through. We had to wait an additional 45 minutes to flag staff down staff to inquire on the fact that we had finished our coffees but no food had arrived. At this point we had to leave due to a commitment at 3 only to eat elsewhere. I understand mistakes happen and around new years is a busy period but at least cover the coffees we had. Will heavily consider before returning again to try their specials that actually looked really good. (1/5 stars)
