Hobee's

The first location of Hobee’s was opened by Peter Taber and his family in 1974, and its menu of fresh and healthy entrees was so successful that over the years it expanded to six Silicon Valley locations. Hobee’s has attracted a devoted following of everyone from local students to tech titans, who flock there for its famous burgers, vegetarian offerings and breakfasts, which have earned it countless “best breakfast” awards.

The star of that breakfast menu is Hobee’s famous coffeecake, which was developed by Taber and added to the menu in 1975. Loaded with blueberries and topped with cinnamon streusel, it’s shipped in a decorative tin and is perfect simply warmed in the microwave and topped with a pat of butter.
