HOB Coffee on Park

Oh my goodness! In San Diego there are so many great coffee ☕️ shops, but Refill is my favorite. Staff, area to work (which unfortunately is currently shut down, but such great space!), and delicious coffee. So so happy 😁 with service and product!!
Thanks for making great coffee ☕️ Refill!

This coffee shop has taken over the space formerly occupied by Refill. It is a big step down compared to Refill, which was one of the more stylish coffeeshops in the 'hood. The new owner inexplicably got rid of the blue chairs which matched the decor (what you'll see on the photos posted here) and replaced them with less attractive metal chairs. For some reason they allow the place to always look trashy. An equipment cart that should be stored in the back is instead out front, apparently to block access behind the counter (why?). The former condiment shelf is now covered with buckets and trash. Amazon boxes are piled under the seats. The previous tasteful artworks have been replaced with garish posters and big screen TVs showing lousy TV shows - today "Judge Judy" with the sound off. On the plus side, they have terrific beer specials for happy hour.

Nice indoor / outdoor spot for coffee or lunch and beer. The coffee is phenomenal and the patio is dog friendly. They also play sports on the tv if you want to catch a game.

We were visiting San Diego and stayed just a block away from this shop. We went there very morning for coffee and breakfast and very day it was delicious! The cappuccino and Nutella mocha were favorites and their savory crepes are great, especially the bacon with Brie and apples. Would go all the time if we lived there. Staff and baristas are super friendly. Highly recommend it!

Love this place!! Great coffee, food and atmosphere, this is without a doubt my new favorite spot:) Staff is always friendly and helpful, in particular shoutout to Amanda who is the BEST.

The coffee is excellent! And it is served in handcrafted mugs. Couldn't get any better!

Only 2 blocks from my apartment! Nice cappuccinos, but the coffee to milk ratio is skewed a little too much toward the milk. A little light for my taste.

Avocado toast is amazing!!

I've had a few of the crepes. The toppings are good (and abundant!) but the crepes are a bit dry.

Coffees are always good. Avocado toast is delicious and big. Although I do feel that California over charges on avocado toast 🤷 The online pictures on Google are not what it looks like now; I'm not sure why? The atmosphere is very quiet and calm. Also I think one of the online menus said blended cold brew which they do not have.

This is a little café that serves crepes and other items like toast, salads, and oatmeal with coffee drinks. It's a modern place, with indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are okay, but a little more than I would want.

I decided on the brie/fig jam/bacon/arugula crepe. It was made alright, but the bacon wasn't fully cooked to my liking (although it was a good portion). The crepe overall had a good mix of ingredients, but it just felt like something was missing.

It's a good average place to do some work and grab something small to eat.

Lovely cafe. Yummy offerings. Lots of vegan drink options. No parking for the cafe, we had to pay for parking across the street. Dogs permitted on the outside area, which is lovely for our Search Dogs. But, if you aren't into dogs you might sit inside. A perfect place to meet a friend and chat.
Update: Limited indoor seating with air conditioning. Loved the crepes.
