⭐️⭐️ 2/5 — Just meh 🫤
We visited Hofer’s Bakery and Café during Oktoberfest to try something different. The food was… meh. None of us really loved it, and a couple of us honestly didn’t like it at all. The flavors on my plate were confusing — not bad, just not good either.
The biggest issue was the service and system. It was slow and poorly organized. They waited until nearly half the restaurant was empty before cleaning tables, even with a line out the door. With a few small adjustments, the place could run so much smoother — like pre-rolling silverware instead of doing it after every table.
Overall, everything was fine, but not something I’d go out of my way for again. Just meh.🫤

I don't know what I expected. It was a little pricey for what I got. Staff was unfamiliar with gift store items.

Great food. Small space so had to wait for breakfast due to high demand but would go back. The line moved quickly.

It was an hour wait but it was such a popular spot - small restaurant dining area with short staff so please be patient. It’s worth it. Great service - servers did not let us run out of coffee (the German coffee is delish!). My corned beef hash breakfast was yummy and I also enjoyed the German Chocolate Cake.

Amazing food in a comfortable atmosphere. Get there early! Prices do reflect the quality of the food FYI.
Don't leave Helen without at least one visit to Hofer's, seriously. Breakfast starts at 8,and the coffee is strong and smooth. We strongly recommend the traditional meat and cheese plate, and the Alpine French Toast. Note for the wise - before you leave, get brotchen, meats and cheeses from the deli for your trip home. You won't regret it! PS - there's additional parking just up the hill.😉

Apple fritter was good but the rest was worse than a grocery store bakery. Expensive too.

We love Hofers and visit every time we're in Helen. Be there close to opening time to avoid a long wait.

Prime example of how not to bake. Business is alive only due to foot traffic.
Breakfast was great. Highly recommend.
