After many breakfasts here the girlfriend says I should write the review. Today is running errands & getting the car serviced day, and since my mechanic is right across the street, shout out to Joya Auto, I drop off the car & came over for delicious grub. Originally, I wanted to head into the City for the day, but the girlfriend, who is the Killer of Fun, suggested staying local on account of the ridiculous gas prices and that i had errands to run. she said Hobee's has great coffee cakes & omelettes so we will eat well. The last time we had the Mt View omelette with a side of the coffee cake for her & a French Toast for me. We are very pleased with the quick friendly service and decent portion sizes, none of that humongous portions that spills over the plate. Hobee's has become 1 of our go-to breakfast spots in SNL read more

Located off of Mathilde Avenue in Sunnyvale, somewhat Tucked in a busy corner with Motel 6 and a Dennys restaurant. Parkin is tight. About 15 or so parking spots. A little bit of a wait to check in, sat down for less than 10 min for a table for 2. Service was quick. Lots of American choices with some Mexican dishes too. Food was good, loved that we were able to customize the famous coffee cake as it said on the menu. My omelette choice looked good on the menu but wasn't feeling it when I got it. It was good & my bestie tasted it and said she liked it. I still ate it with no complaints. More like a Mediterranean taste which I wasn't expecting. I did love love love the Lavender latte though. My bestie got black coffee with unlimited refills. I would try again if we were close but we both live about 30 min away & was only in area to pick up some race bibs at the nearby REI. read more

This place is EXCELLENT!!! And what makes it even better are the staff here!! The food is fantastic, and the ambience is just perfect, but the friendliness, kindness and care the staff here gives us each and every time is beyond measure!!

Well, as far as I can tell, all Hobee's are the same (I think I've been to all of them) and this one is no exceptions. I used to be more of a fan, but the prices are out of control now. Service is friendly, they refill coffee frequently, and of course, the blueberry coffee cake is great, but they've priced themselves out of being more of a go-to for me. read more

Chill place to hang out with friends, average food. Food quality is pretty standard for an American breakfast/brunch restaurant, but the menu variety is large. Came here on an 8am Wednesday morning and the service was fast. read more

My husband and I decided to stop for breakfast before our flight back home last week Sunday. The restaurant was right in front of Motel 6 so it made parking a bit tricky because there are only a few spots in front. We were lucky that someone was leaving the hotel and were able to park in the back. We were seated right away and our beverage order was taken. The restaurant had a typical diner vibe, was clean, casual and inviting. A few minutes later our waitress took our order. My husband had the cinnamon orange swirl French toast and fried potatoes. I had the super veggie scramble that came with my choice of bread, hashbrowns, or a piece of blueberry coffee cake. I chose the coffee cake. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his French toast and I really enjoyed my egg scramble. My eyes could believe the size of the blueberry coffee cake that I received. It was huge and it came warm with butter melting on top of the cinnamon topping. It was heavenly. If we didn't live out of state I would definitely have bought a whole coffee cake to take home which they sell at the front counter. So glad we picked this place to end a perfect weekend in California. read more

I went to Hobee's with family who claimed it was organic and tasty. Unfortunately, the restaurant feels way too outdated. The waiter took our order, in which 3 of us decided on sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and we all were served regular potatoes. So, instead of taking the plates back to swap out the potatoes, they brought a plate of sweet potatoes. We were full of potatoes! My order was simple- over medium eggs, sweet potatoes, and a side of bacon. My experience was minimal and I ended up with a stomach ache. I did not find it to have anything that stood out as outstanding. read more

This is the Hobee's location you want to visit! The staff here are incredibly friendly and always greet you with a big smile that sets the tone for a great meal. We make it a point to come almost every Sunday morning--it's become a tradition we truly look forward to. The food never disappoints. The Mountain View Omelette is absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and always cooked to perfection. Pair it with their signature blueberry coffee cake, and you've got the perfect start to your day read more

I can feel my blood pressure rising with the amount of salt I must have consumed. Everything was soooo salty. I never thought someone could screw up basic breakfast before. The orange juice wasn't fresh. Potatoes were cold and pathetic. The only decent thing was the coffee cake, but even that was just ok not mind blowing or anything. Coffee was not too bad either. Overall I would not recommend this place, there are plenty of better breakfast places around. Notes: It's located near a Motel 6 and the 101 freeway entrance. Parking is limited directly in front of the restaurant, most people park in the motel parking lot. read more

My family and I used to go to Hobee's in the 90s, mostly the one in Pruneyard. I've loved them ever since! Their coffee, their spiced tea, the coffee cake, the DeAnza browns!! The Sunnyvale spot is classic Hobees, in ambience, in the food. Love this place!! read more

We had plans of coming here because Babe been to the one in Mountain View but we saw on Yelp that that location is closed so we came here. When we came in he saw the same staff here so he went to talk to them and they remember him. Yes that location is closed but the friendly family vibe is the same here. My first impression is the ambience is just like Black Bear Diner. We ordered the half cinnamon half lemonade drink but it was too cinnnamony for my liking. The breakfast was good and I was happy to try their famous blueberry coffee cake! The service was amazing!!! Kids eat free on Wednesday I had no idea so that was a nice surprise. Although this breakfast spot has been around forever, it was my first time and it left a good first impression. The food was good and the staff was attentive. I am happy that they are kid friendly. My son had crayons and a coloring sheet to keep him occupied. He was also given a kid friendly water so that it would prevent major spills. If you're looking for a kid friendly and family breakfast spot, this place is it!!! read more

My husband and I went to Hobee's last Saturday. It was a 15min wait at 11am. Host and servers were pleasant like always. We tried the Oct specials, harvest hash and eggs and autumn omme. Both were delicious and unique. If you like seasonal foods and don't mind some Gorgonzola cheese I recommend. The salted caramel latte gives Starbucks a run for its money. Last but not least the pumpkin coffee bread was delicious but my favorite is still their OG coffee bread. read more

Parking is plentiful but not easy to find. The ambiance is quite busy. However the service isn't slow by any means nor is it blazing fast. I ordered Stanford "cardinal" omelette (1/5): quite terrible. The dish was loaded with oil. The omelette was bland and had a mushy texture. The potatoes were dry. They say Google/apple pay is accepted here but it didn't seem like it when I handed my card over to pay. Overall, there are other places that have better food than Hobees. I will not be making my return. read more

I visit Hobee's with my favorite niece for the first time in my life. I am soooo impressed. The place is clean and comfortable to seat and enjoy time together with anyone specially love ones. The food was so good and fresh. I got some chilaquiles with chorizo and I love them. My niece got some healthy white eggs. As soon as we arrived my niece got a smile fruit dessert and that was very kind, it makes her feel special and I got the credit for that . They give me coffee cake to taste and it was amazing. Our favorite part other than the food was the Customer Service. Everyone that came to our table to bring coffee, deserts and more are so kind and very respectful. Miguel was always making sure we had we needed. He recommended me their home made coffee, cakes and flavors, like banana, blueberry and cranberry. I am so happy that I found a place with this kind of food and service, I strongly recommend everyone to give it a try. read more

Paid $2 extra for avocado and it's like half a serving at best. One of my eggs on my Benedict is cooked well and there was just enough hollandaise sauce to barely cover my Benedict.

I always love to go to Hobee's. Their coffee cake is amazing. You can order a tin of it to go for $20 or so. At this time of year (approximately Thanksgiving through New Year's) they have the cranberry coffee cake, which is the best, imo. The pro tip is to call ahead and preorder it; otherwise they may not have any ready when you get there. But if you like their regular blueberry flavor (also excellent) you can usually get it without calling ahead. Today I ordered one of their specials, the Autumn Hash (I may be remembering the name wrong) with roasted Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, bacon, dried cranberries, arugula, and two poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce. Also comes with choice of coffee cake, home fries or toast. It was to die for!! Too bad it's seasonal and I likely won't be able to get it next time I visit. Highly recommended, though! Service was very fast and courteous. Always a treat to look forward to when I'm in town. read more

The food was delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the blueberry coffee cake was much larger than I anticipated.

I had a hankering for Monday brunch at this well-known breakfast spot in Sunnyvale. The parking is limited, but the restaurant has a pleasant diner ambiance. Our server, Tina, was very attentive to my every request and very friendly. I ordered the "huevos Benedictos", which is a Benedict with salsa, avocado and tomatoes. I also ordered a side of the hash browns, with "guido" add on, which was topped with just the right amount of cheese and pesto. For this review, I ordered lemon blueberry pancakes, and every bite was fluffy and delicious. You have the option to get coffee cake instead of hash browns, and from past experience, the coffee cake with butter is to die for. One of my eggs was poached hard, and Tina fixed that right away by getting me another set of eggs poached easy. The muffin for the Benedict needed to be toasted a little more, and the hollandaise was a little bland. Regardless, an above average experience. read more

Ok first things first. This place boasts over 4K ratings on Google for favorite breakfast spots. I will confirm that if you're looking for a quick pit stop for some healthy breakfast options in Sunnyvale, this place might cut it. Their menu is rich. I mean with all the permutations combinations of blueberries, cinnamon, artichoke, what could go wrong. Peppering raw onions as a garnish over the omelette certainly could. I didn't enjoy the onion overlay over my omelette. The stuffing of chicken, artichoke and mushroom saved the day for me else I would have taken off a Yelp star. The coffee cake is a favorite at this place. Nothing stood extraordinary to me. Other than the portion size. It almost defeats the purpose of eating healthy when you have a huge slab of cake accompanying as side for your omelette. For beverages, I took the chai latte with oat milk. Moderately delicious but the portion size was too large. Overall: Food: 5/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 5/10 read more

I just have to commend the very friendly and tireless Hobee's staff for doing a great job on a crowded Saturday morning during the holiday season. We had started out at a different restaurant nearby and that place was so short staffed, two frazzled people were trying to get people seated, orders taken, food delivered, and checks settled. Needless to say, the food was piling up where the cooks were putting it up on the counter and getting cold before anyone could get to it. What a disaster. So we walked over to Hobee's. What a contrast. There were plenty of staff. We were well attended, seated right away, our order was taken and food came promptly. The waiter checked on us. Refilled the coffee. And the food was great. What a contrast. read more

We have been going to Hobee's for years. Sadly, few are left. My Florentine scramble with coffee cake was great. Their tea is to die for. You can buy it but it isn't the same as it is in the store. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place as I was looking for somewhere to sit down and eat brunch. They offered outdoor dining with socially distanced tables, and the wait only took about 10 minutes. I ordered the stromboli omelet and the blueberry pancakes. The food was more or less what I expected - not amazing, but also not terrible. For what it's worth, it was a decent yet unremarkable meal. Great place to satisfy my craving for American breakfast once in a while! read more

I hate when their servers pass by six times and completely ignore you even when you look them in the eye and flag them, as if you were not there. At least smile and say "we'll be right with you" . When they do take your order they look annoyed, speak fast, rush you and walk away, no friendly greeting, no apologies. The same when they serve the food. The coffee was lukewarm, not good. The food was nothing special. Did not feel welcome, will not go back. read more

That was the best coffee cake I ever had in my entire life, but mind you, coffee cakes I've had before were either from Starbucks or store bought. I think they put melted salted butter on top, like for an already moist coffee cake, it's like another layer of richness and flavor added. It was like it was fresh from the oven and not just warmed up old stock! I really enjoyed the Abuelita's Mexican Mocha as well and ended up getting a 2nd serving. Also had their salmon hash, and it was good as well and don't mind getting it again, but I think I was more impressed by the cafe items. Their location is a bit ways off from where I live, but I'd probably go again just to show my loved ones. The waitress Ernestina was amazing too. Overall good experience! read more

I was in the area and stopped by Hobee's for a quick bite. I've never been since there isn't one by my house, but I knew it's been around for years and years. The place was what I expected for a local breakfast diner spot. I already knew what I wanted for breakfast, which was chilaquiles. I placed my order as soon as I sat down, and the helpful server ran through all the possible sides and mods. I got my food in 5 minutes tops. The chilaquiles wasn't the best. I wasn't expecting it to be out of this world or reimagined, but they could've salted the scrambled eggs. Also the chips clearly weren't that great of quality. Totally fine that they're store bought, but Hobee's needs to invest in thicker chips. I didn't get one single crunch! All the chips were limp and soggy by the time it came out. Overall service was great though. Food came out promptly, and my server was attentive and efficient. read more

You simply have to try the country style hash brown upgrades. I've been going to Hobee's for decades and just discovered them they're amazing. Supremo: salsa, guacamole, sour cream Paisano: sautéed onion, fresh jalapeño Guido: basil pesto, parmesan cheese Garlic browns: sautéed garlic, parmesan Loaded: green onion, sour cream, cheddar cheese There are a lot of options for vegetarians and carnivores alike. You simply have to try the Super Veggie Scramble with the country style hash browns Paisano or Garlic Browns style. They're magic in your mouth. Even when they're busy they work hard to keep your coffee and water topped up. The staff is friendly and helpful. Weekends the place is bustling and loud, weekdays it's super chill and quiet but they still have the staff around and the service is even faster. The management cares about your experience at Hobee's and it shows, they take excellent care of their patrons. read more

Visit 1: I was in town so I gave Hobee's a try. This first visit, early on a Monday. Good parking, not very full at all (the restaurant, not me. I mean, if I were full, I wouldn't be, well, you get it). Upon entry I was not sure if I should "seat to be waited" (LOL) or just sit. I looked at the cashier who was ringing someone up, and she looked at me, and, well, with that, I just went and sat down. My waitress was very friendly, and, except for that look I got on the way in (neither friendly or not to be fair), everyone else I encountered was also friendly. I ordered a cheese omelet and a side of bacon. I'd say, considering how slow it was the food took a tad longer than I would expect, but overall, not too long. Thing is, when it did arrive it wasn't exactly hot. I'd say, warm. Not as if it had just left the grill not 20 steps from my table. Still and all, the friendly staff, clean dining area and restroom all made up for it and no starts are removed. Visit 2: Two weeks later. I decided to give it another try, as the week in between I gave the Denny's that is right on top of (well, next to) Hobee's a try (see my review on that). Well, upon entry, same exact experience as the first time so I was not perplexed this time and just sat in the same place as last time. Again, everyone else was very friendly. It was a little busier this time, yet, my food came out amazingly fast. I mean, I was startled (guess I don't get out much)! Plus, it was hot too! I did have to ask twice for a coffee refill and for water, yet, again, in fairness, the friendly ones, the cleanliness, and the food this time around all combined to where the few things that could use improvement were not enough to cost a star. Oh, the blueberry coffeecake was hot and way awesome. I'll be back (Yeah, The Terminator, I get it). Visit 3: Remaining word to my true (or something like that) I gave it the ole 3 times a charm. I showed up right at opening, again on a weekday. This time I was greeted and promptly steered to a seat (restaurant folk should go easy on the perfume or whatever it's called these days). The same person that steered me to a seat brought the first cup of coffee, which was to my surprise, cold. No, not luke warm (who the heck is Luke anyway?) but stone cold. I brought it to her and she returned it hot, but I could tell by the temperature of the mug it had been microwaved back to life. I suspect this was leftover as the refill later actually tasted fresh, and not like stale leftover sadness. :( The waiter showed up right away and took my order. Coffee (the hot coffee mentioned a few sentences above) came quick and the water/coffee refill guy made regular passes. Food arrived at a reasonable time (BTW it was about as busy as visit 2). Strange though, this time my side order of bacon only had 3 pieces, opposed to 4 in visits 1 and 2. Sadly, this bacon must have spent the night with that fist cup of coffee, as it was rubbery (isn't she rubbery? Stevie Wonder) and cold (no, the cold coffee wasn't rubbery. Let's keep things straight here). I asked for the bacon to be heated and after its visit to the microwave it was tolerable. The coffee cake this time wasn't quite as awesome as the last time, not hot, but still tasty. Sooooo, I'm removing a star (from 5 to 4 for those of you keeping track) only for the inconsistency from visit to visit. Don't you just hate long reviews? I do, but this is a three in one so please gimme a break (of that Kit Kat, umm, never mind). Overall, they're still worth a fair shot. read more
