| - Really 2.5 stars:
For no particular reason, I was walking, and walking, and walking. Hours. At some point, I realize that I am exhausted and hungry. Just there is Hob Nob. Great! Exactly what I need---just someplace to crash. At its entirely cute. Things were totally stacked in their favor---I really wanted to (and still do!) want to like them!
How in the world can this go wrong?
First, there seemed to be like fifty zillion employees tumbling over each other, so disorganized. (Seriously---there were, what, two customers in the store. Not sure what the disorganization was about.) Second, the coffee. The second they pulled out the cup they were going to put the coffee in, I just knew there would be a problem. I mean, coffee really does taste better/worse in particular types of cups. On top of that, the coffee was rather watery. Okay, food comes. On a plate that reminds me of big hair and shoulder pads. But that's being picky. And, I taste the salad---really quite awesome!!!! So, I'm now thinking to myself, just don't think of it as a coffee shop, and its really quite likable. Until I bite into that crouton. Burnt. And another one---burnt again! ......
Seems like this can be a really great place, with some tiny twists. They have a great base----great atmosphere and the knowledge to make food. But, until then....
PS: Owners, please don't write to me asking me to come back, etc and rewrite my review. I hate when owners do that after you've given a less than stellar review.
