- .RZ "HOBEE'S COFFEE CAKE" "Coffee cake from Hobee's Haven restaurant"
- ``Hobee's Haven'' here in Silicon Valley (usually just called ``Hobee's'')
- serves a lot of brunch food, and as far as I can tell they always include a
- piece of their coffee cake with each order. Frankly, I don't care for
- breakfast, nor do I approve of places at which the only kind of tea you can
- order reeks of orange and cinammon ... but the coffee cake is pretty good.
- This is their recipe, printed in an advertising flyer for the shopping center
- they inhabit; it's quite easy.
