On the morning of September 18, 2023, I decided to pop in CoalBrew Company's new brick and mortar…read morecafe. It was fabulous! They have had a food truck set up mostly on the Lovington Highway for well over a year now. I'm so excited that they established deeper roots in Hobbs, NM. I knew right away that I needed coffee & had just seen on Instagram that they had a limited time "fresh pumpkin brown sugar" latte. I ordered a 24 ounce iced version of this homemade concoction ($6.25). Its creaminess was luscious without being overly sweet. My medium club salad ($9) was really good. I just didn't like the bacon that tasted like & looked exactly like the microwavable stuff. The decor was super posh. The gender neutral restroom was clean. The owner was as nice as I remember her from a year ago. She stated that their grand opening will be soon, but further details weren't available. It will be Saturday, October 7, 2023 @ 11AM. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. TIP Don't forget to ask for a loyalty punch card if they don't offer one to you. Ladies... here's some grown a$$ woman advice: Don't talk sh!t about your man to "your girls" at the cafe. Y'all sound pathetic & immature when you talk about how "he wanted to talk to me as soon as I got outta the shower... ugh, he gets on my nerves." And at the risk of being hypocritical, please remove the expletives or at least lower your voice. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 3

My husband and I are new to the area and happened to be in another business in the complex. We were…read moregreeted by two employees, McKenzie, and unfortunately, I didn't catch the other girl's name. Let me start off by saying they were bothering VERY friendly and helpful. My husband ordered a sugar-free blended mocha; I ordered a sugar-free strawberry banana smoothie. Then we asked McKenzie for her recommendation for our son. She described prickly pear and made him a desert pear lemonade. All of our items were good! Service was amazing, and the entire Cafe was inviting with the colorscape and decor. So, good job to Natalie (the owner).

Hi Boba in Hobbs, NM, became "Kuromies Boba."…read more I don't understand the name change, but with it came a change in boba texture, consistency and flavor. The last time we came here was back on 12.4.2025. It was to celebrate my oldest getting second place in her schoolwide spelling bee. The boba teas no longer good! I will hesitate every time my daughters want to go here. The drinks aren't as good anymore. The place is not clean either. Double cringe.

My kids really like the Boba here but the store is filthy!! Doesn't make me feel like they clean…read morethe kitchen area well enough to make food and drinks if the sitting area is that disgusting. The spider webs and constantly sticky and crumby floors are proof they don't clean often

*** super cute, brand new ice cream & candy shop in Hobbs ***…read more What's the Scoop Ice Cream Shop is a brand new more than just ice cream located in the plaza near Albertson's Market. They also have homemade fudge, candy, gourmet candy apples, and chocolate-covered confections. It's a tight fit inside, so there isn't space to eat your frozen treat. Best plan to get it on the run! If I'm not mistaken, this is Hobbs' first chocolatier. They had so many delightful chocolate covered items - from nuts to jalapenos. My daughters were dying to try ice cream and stuck to their flavors. The youngest had two scoops in a cup of Krazy Kolors. Bold colors of red, blue, and yellow, but it tasted like plain vanilla to me. Lol. The oldest had two scoops of Cookie Two Step, which was chocolate chip cookie dough. Very cream. Large chunks of chocolate. The decent-sized cold mounds were served in small plastic ball caps both for $12.14. I've never seen the ice cream flavor "banana puddin'" so I'm definitely trying that next time! Cash or cards accepted. SUGGESTION TO OWNER Please post prices. TIP Closed Monday.

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4.5 PARKING Ample. LOCATION/AMBIANCE It's on the south side of town near the high school. This place looked nice on the outside and in. There was a variety of tables for different-sized groups. They had a few flatscreens and pleasant music playing. The alarm system was annoying alerting them every time someone came through the door, but I guess that's what helps them know when they have customers. THE GRUB It must've been the ground-to-sky flag flapping in the breeze outside with "tortas" on it that made me gravitate toward the Mexican sandwich ($7.99). Mine came with two small sides of salsa, a red and a green - neither of which I truly cared for because they were overly acidic and not spicy whatsoever. The guisada that I chose was delicious, however, the portion seemed small. The horchata was served in a huge cup & didn't disappoint at all. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB There is a kid's menu with limited options. I posted a photo of it. SERVICE Kind of slow getting up to the front on 1/3/2024. Then I realized they thought I had a takeout order and they were rushing to bring out two large bags of food to me. Lol. The lady who took my order was friendly and efficient. MY FAVORITE PART... There are a few options for meat on the torta. I went with carne guisada which I couldn't recommend more. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The salsas. TIP Alcohol is served here. Please have a designated driver.

My brisket torta with short & stubby fries plus a canned Sprite was delicious for the cash price of $13.80. Fresh veggies, soft bun, & tender, juicy brisket! The fries were slightly undercooked, though. Make sure to ask for both red and green salsa as they only gave me green on 1.29.2025. Both were on the spicier side. Loved the green a bit more than the red. It was more flavorful! Service was really nice with broken English, mostly Spanish. My order was ready in about 5 minutes. The only thing I would change is the menu. I feel like I saw three different menus and only one had tortas listed with ham. I didn't know they offered it with brisket! Recommend for a good takeout lunch. Cash or plastic accepted. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 3

Juice Wrld (yes, it's spelled like that) is my new favorite food trailer in Hobbs, NM…read more This mobile juice bar offers smoothies, acai bowls, pressed juices, juice shots, juicy bites (juicy fries, loaded rice cakes, and cucumber chips). Their prices range from $4-$13 per item. Recently Ms. Becky of Salty Frog (a boutique and gift shop) announced on social media that Juice Wrld would be a permanent fixture in front of her shop. Shout out to the amazing Becky! After science camp, I took my oldest daughter. We both tried a bowl ($12 each). She opted for match as her base, granola and chia seeds for toppings, strawberry and kiwi, and honey drizzle. It was good, but the matcha is not really all that sweet. My bowl went like this: coconut base, chia seeds and white chocolate chips, pineapple and raspberries - all drizzled in agave. This was super yummy and much sweeter than hers! Cash is accepted. Try them out on Dal Paso or at a event nearby. Follow them on Instagram to find out where they'll be next: @__yourjuicewrld_ RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4

*** enjoy pan dulce with your coffee in this super cute Hobbs, New Mexico-based Mexican café ***…read more The Coffee Shop had its grand opening a couple of days ago in Hobbs, NM. This has been a long time coming! I absolutely love how small and quaint this place is at the Hobbs Plaza (south of Albertson's Market). Brought to you by the same owners as What's the Scoop? which is the ice cream and chocolatier shop next door, this cafe also serves chips and salsa before your breakfast meal. That is, if you can score a table or a high-top chair at the bar! This place is already so popular. I had a meeting I was headed to so I got my order to go, but I would love to just sit and be served here. The staff members were all very kind. My French vanilla latte ($4.25) was creamy, but I still tasted the coffee! I also grabbed a cheesecake pastry as well as a pumpkin filled pastry with sugar on top. Both pastries came out to $5.98. I'm saving my pumpkin one for a midnight snack, but the cheesecake was no overly sweet. The bottom was just a bit overdone, but still really good. I only wish that they would have a QR code for the menu or a menu posted at the register. The menu was being passed around amongst the patrons that were there before me so I really didn't know what they offered for breakfast before I just settled on grabbing my own pastries from the self-serve area. Love the bright colors. The coffee. The vibes. Happy October! TIP + Their hours are Tuesday-Sunday 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4.5| Price: 4.5

Holy Sheep Tea & Boba Studio is the newest of its kind in Hobbs, NM…read more When we walked in for our first visit on 7/25/2023 it was super cute for social media feeds, but already cluttered. It must be a Hobbs thing that people have this insatiable need to pack like a rat & stuff into corners & on tops of tables. Lol. But seriously it's very distracting & unwelcoming. Their drinks - while good - are a bit on the small side for the price. My two young daughters and I all ordered regular sizes then later tried each other's concoctions. I thoroughly enjoyed my Green Apple Fruit Tea ($5.65) at 75% sweetness & regular ice. I failed to remember that grass jelly would probably go well with this and the youngster at the counter wasn't particularly helpful in suggesting that. My oldest got the most expensive drink. Naturally. Lol. Her taro milk tea with regular boba was good ($6.10). The boba here seems small, though. My youngest probably got the best drink: the Brown Sugar Avalance ($5.85) with fresh milk, boba, & grass jelly. It was sweet, but not overbearingly so. The drinks came out within about 5 minutes and that was even after a larger order just ahead of us. There is ample, free parking in the relatively new Navajo East Plaza. (It's across the street from Ashley Furniture and the Habitat for Humanity.) Inside there were stuffed boba creatures and other Asian-inspired toys. There were a couple of dollar claw machines... you're warned especially if you have little ones! :) Order at the counter. Pay. Remember your number because they don't give out receipts - not to me and the other before and after me anyway. Pick up on the adjacent counter from the register. Recommended as a once in a while treat. Would definitely get the larger size for me personally next time. According to their front door, they are open daily from 11AM-9PM. Hooray!

Too many girls behind the counter, chitchatting & not approaching us in a professional manner. There are to many things going on , almost like a museum. And they had a hard time making our drinks, which by the way was not good at all. If you want a great boba drink go somewhere else. They might treat you better & provide you with a great customer service experience.
