Share your opinion about Hobnob Coffee and Wine Bar
Hobnob is located within Hotel Fort Des Moines. I stayed there last month and loved the convenient access to the shop! Coffee was amazing and service was incredible.
i wasn't expecting the coffee to be this good at a wine cafe, but it was a pleasant surprise. i stopped in for a cup and it was smooth, rich, and exactly what i needed. it's nice to know this place isn't just great for wine, but also for a really satisfying coffee.
European vibe. Not rushed very laid back pace. No one rushing you.
