update:
Changing
this
star
rating
from
my
original
rating
to
five
stars.
I’m
so
glad
I
went
back
here
because
it
must
have
been
an
off
day
the
first
time
I
had
visited.
I
haven’t
tried
the
Vietnamese
Iced
Coffee
again
but
their
signature
drink,
The
Kingslayer,
is
A-MAY-ZING.
I
get
it
iced
and
it’s
super
refreshing
and
tasty.
Also,
since
I’ve
returned
I’ve
found
that
the
service
level
here
is
much
better
and
there
are
typically
two
employees
which
helps
matters
immensely.
One
of
my
favorite
coffee
shops
now.
First
time
trying
Hob
Coffee
East
Village
which
is
a
super
cute
coffee
shop
on
the
corner
of
K
and
11th
near
Petco
Park.
They
only
had
one
employee
working
which
made
wait
times
a
bit
long
since
she
had
to
take
orders
and
then
make
drinks
but
she
was
doing
her
best.
Thankfully
it
wasn’t
super
busy
or
I
don’t
think
we
would
have
waited.
Inside
they
have
plenty
of
seating
and
sell
various
items
related
to
Hob
Coffee
with
City
Connect
Padres
colors.
We
ordered
the
Vietnamese
Iced
Coffees
today
which,
according
to
their
menu,
is
four
espresso
shots
poured
over
ice
and
condensed
milk
in
a
16oz
cup.
Unfortunately
the
sweetness
of
the
condensed
milk
couldn’t
overcome
the
burnt
taste
of
the
espresso
in
these
drinks.
I
really
wanted
to
like
them.
I
don’t
know
if
the
fact
that
there
was
only
one
person
working
contributed
to
poor
espresso
making
because
she
felt
rushed
or
if
the
beans
were
just
not
of
good
quality
but
we
couldn’t
even
drink
all
of
it.
I’m
giving
three
stars
based
on
the
cute
location
and
vibe
as
well
as
the
kindness
of
the
barista
but
I
don’t
think
that
I
would
order
an
espresso
here
again.
If
we
hadn’t
take
the
drinks
to
go
we
might
have
asked
them
to
make
us
something
else.
