Mint Hobo

Such a lovely local coffee shop. The cakes are absolutely delicious and to top it off staff are so friendly, such a nice service. Really do give the cakes a try, especially if their brownie is available - soo tasty! Hobo Coffee House is that really lovely balance of being cosy, trendy but also makes genuinely great coffee and cake.

We discovered Mint Hobo through Groupon, having ordered the 'Sharing Board with Gin and Tonic for Two' and we were not disappointed. From the second we walked in we were made to feel welcome, the staff were friendly and polite but in a genuine way that you don't always find. They were clued up on their Gin, offering us advice when selecting our drinks. We took a seat and didn't wait long for the drinks to arrive. This was followed by our sharing board. Even the plates had been heated up to help our little packs of butter melt and spread easily on the homemade bread. There was a good range of meats, cheese and Olives. Combined with our Gin and tonics and sat by the window as the Christmas lights of the town started to shine, we were in our element! At one point the owner popped in and made the effort to come and chat with us. He seemed very friendly and genuinely pleased we'd given them a try. Often we take advantage of a good deal on Groupon but in this case, we both agreed that had we paid full price we still would have got very good value for money. (I did take a quick pic, but I don't think it does it justice.) If you're a Gin or Coffee lover and want to enjoy either of them in a relaxed atmosphere, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff, then we highly recommend you give this little place a visit, you will not regret it.
