Used to be better by Amy M. on 1/3/2012 via Judy's Book
Came here recently and was disappointed. The croissant I had was dry and coffee average. I would probably try them again since one of the best carrot cake I've had was from this place.

The best place in Seattle for cakes and pastries by CSMobileUser6 on 4/19/2011 via Citysearch
I've always had great customer service from them so I don't understand the negative reviews here. The cakes we ordered were always great and an order of magnitude better than grocery bakeries.

Wow - what a great place by mike315 on 3/18/2010 via Citysearch
I lived in Kirkland for years and enjoyed the great treats from Hoffman's especially Cinnamon Crisps. Having moved away from the area to Florida a couple of weeks ago I missed the Cinnamon Crisps. I gave them a call to see if I could…

H-awful H-offman's by seattlerays on 2/6/2010 via Citysearch
I agree with the negative press about how horrible the service is at Hoffman's these days. While the pastries are still one of the best around the Northwest, I've recently observed rude and unpleasant service from behind the counters. …

This bakery has some of the same staff that worked with Ed Hoffman and to this day instill the same great work ethic that they were taught. \r I enjoy the one on one consultations I used to have with the chefs themselves. I needed a…

Whenever I have an occasion is that calls for cake I never concider going anywhere but Hoffman's, even though other bakeries are closer to my home.\r They have made truely creative cakes for me that featured among other things a compost…

The best of the best! by juanita r on 12/19/2009 via Citysearch
I love Hoffman's cakes, but i have to say that i think their greatest accomplishments are their pastries. It's hard to find a bakery that makes all their own doughs, but Hoffman's does. Danish dough, croissant do, puff pastry, pie dough,…

All the terrible reviews are TRUE!!! by afsi on 12/17/2009 via Citysearch
What everyone says about them in the terrible reviews are true. My extended family and I have been a patron of this place for over 20 years, practically since they opened...but just for drop-in coffees and pastries and occassional cakes…

Be ready, Lilttle help, but great cakes by jlynn511 on 6/26/2008 via Citysearch
I have to say that I agree with many of the reviews that the service of years past at Hoffman's has changed. While I have ordered 4 cakes from them this year, all have been on time when I went to pick them up so I can't agree with some of…

Hoffmans - I sadly have to agree with disappointments by tastereview on 7/23/2007 via Citysearch
Sadly, after ordering from Hoffmans for years (since it's been there), I too noticed a downhill in prices going high, and customer service. A cake I ordered wasn't on time and they had to rush to get it ready. The princess torte is still…

Eastside bakery with GREAT cakes by Carlin P. on 6/22/2007 via Judy's Book
Our families favorite spot for cakes is easily Hoffman's in Kirkland. Every one I've tried (white, chocolate, etc.) has been delicious - moist, dense and with amazing frosting. It will certainly cost you more than Costco, but it's well…

Not very good by mbxyz on 6/1/2007 via Citysearch
What an overrated place. I am not sure why people give it 5 stars when there are plenty of good cake places out there that have much better customer service. The people of Hoffman's are really terrible when it comes to customer service. …
