We stopped in on places that was close to where we were staying in San Diego for breakfast and we were so happy we did. It’s a fun place that likes the Wizard of Oz. It’s entrance is in black and white decor and as you round the corner to the restaurant and bar, there’s a beautiful mural of Dorothy and her friends in bright and vibrant colors on the back wall. The original owner was named Dorothy and they thought it was a good idea to pay tribute with the mural. The food was excellent. I got avocado toast with over easy eggs and the other dish was biscuits and gravy with bacon. We originally chose normal coffee but after reading The Hob Nob Espresso Bar menu, we switched to Hob Nob Hill Signature Coffee. What a fantastic choice. I highly recommend this place for breakfast.

This place was very cute and overall I liked it. I was a bit disappointed with the waitress and my bacon stuffed waffle though. The waitress seemed out of it but maybe it's because they were busy. The waffle was kind of flavorless and didn't seem cooked all the way through...like it needed a minute longer in the waffle iron. My older daughter's BLTE was delicious and my little ones pancakes must have been too because she cleared her plate and that never happens. My husband's mocha was fire and so were the mimosas lol...I will go here again...I guess I just had higher hopes because I saw it on Triple D years ago...

A cozy, well established spot to grab a great breakfast. I love diners/old family owned joints, and this place really shows why it’s been around so long (75 years). Almost no wait to be seated at 9 on a Sunday, and super great/friendly service the whole time. Excellent cup of coffee to start, paired with some amazing coffee cake (they get their own roast from a local coffee shop). They make their own corned beef hash in house, so knew I needed to try that - and it’s amazing. Get it with eggs over easy and enjoy. Can’t wait to make this my go to weekend spot!

I always love this Diner! They recently did a renovation which is nice but I have to say the old charming diner was plenty welcoming, felt so homey, and made the food even better. Don’t get me wrong, the food is still very good, the modern upgraded design will take sometime to get used to, still it was tastefully done. There are some wonderful things I love about this place you won’t find that make it unique. They make FRESH squeezed OJ! They have the cutest little loafs of bread, excellent muffins, orange cups of Jam, and cold salad forks! Those are just a few fun things that keep me coming back! I enjoy a cappuccino and they use a fancy cappuccino machine so the consistency is always perfect! I came in today just for a quick snack, I split a club sandwich which hit the spot! Thanks for never disappointing Hob Nob, and for always being the nicest, cleanest diner in town!
