Hobnob Coffee and Wine Bar

"Very cute, easy to find breakfast spot attached to the Hotel Fort Des Moines! Wasn’t more than half full when we were sat. Server came over right away, took our orders, and we got our breakfast pretty quickly. Then not even a bite into our breakfast a different server came over and just dropped our check off. Didn’t ask if everything was good or if we needed anything else. Also weird the check got dropped so early because we both wanted coffees to go, but felt like the bill was already rung up and that was that. Our original server never stopped by after again to check in after either. I ordered Avocado Toast add on Salmon, as you can tell by my photos there was no salmon, very let down, especially because no one checked in to make sure everything was okay or if we needed anything else. Our server also didn’t write down our orders or repeat them back which is probably why she forgot or didn’t hear the add on salmon I ordered. We dropped our card on the check and time went by we ate our entire meal and then had to ask someone how to check out, oh we had to go up to the counter, which again, no one told us, and the place wasn’t busy so we never saw anyone else check out at the counter. The French toast compote stuff on the top was super weird. They used the frozen strawberries and sauce and then added a couple fresh cut strawberries to make them look fresh? The frozen strawberries were so gross looking and didn’t get ate. All in all super weird experience, I will not be back, but maybe it was an off day for everyone. They also don’t put ice in their water"

"One of the best lattes in the metro. The homemade syrups- Amazing. The aesthetic is so calming & beautiful. I’ve had the avocado toast & the western omelette. Both were delectable."

"This is THE place. Don't go to any other coffee shop in Des Moines. Great coffee, fast service, fantastic vibe. If you're into coffee, this place should be a destination. The espresso machines (below counter) are phenomenally advanced. All you see is the spout, the magic is below the counter. The Americanos are great. Very hot, makes for the perfect morning Des Moines coffee. No other coffee shop compares."

"This is my favorite late night go to when I want a good cup of coffee or espresso. Very high quality beans. Raw sugar cubes. Their charcuterie board and selections are also top notch. Great atmosphere and ambiance."

"The atmosphere was saved by the decorations because it was somewhat chaotic. (If you’re a first timer in) You will be overwhelmed by the fact that it’s not very organized, and it wasn’t very clean where you should go. The customer service was really bad and the barista was really rude and chaotic. She was yelling really fast about certain things that we can’t understand and no one cleans up the tables. So, it’s hard to find a table to sit down and enjoy your food or drinks. But, because it is located inside a hotel, the decorations were beautiful. There’re paid parking on the street. But, sometime it can be hard to find a parking spot close to the cafe."
