It used to have more of a laid-back feel, but now looks a bit more modern. They have a huge variety of options and flavors of ice-cream, as well as homemade truffles and candies and all sorts of treats. I love coming here for ice-cream to support a small business as opposed to a chain option. Everything is always delicious, and the staff are always really friendly. Pro tip: take your ice-cream and take a walk around Las Olas or by the river!

Hoffman's direct local competitor (a few doors down) is definitely Kilwins which provides an unmatched inviting fresh chocolate bakery demonstration view from the outside window. The strong scent of chocolate as we walked by the wedged opened front door would excite any chocolate enthusiast including me. Those small chocolate egg nog balls layered with sprinkles really satisfied my sweet tooth for about an hour. The bathroom was clean with gray tiled flooring and a non-alluring giant orange wet vac under the white modern vanity sink which inhibited the already small space.

There is a great selection of sweets and we purchased the turtle fudge and peanut butter fudge. We also go a peanut caramel apple. The fudge was great but the apple left a lot to be desired. It was too thin on the apple allowing the tartness of the green apple to over power the sweetness of the caramel.

We tried Kilwins for the first time and weren't glad we did. You know it's really good when the…read moreline is long; it went pretty quickly tho. My daughter got chocolate toasted coconut and marshmallow smore ice cream and she said it was delicious.

Based on all of the tasty-looking options we saw in the display case, we will be back to try some more.

This place has, without a doubt, the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. From…read morethe moment you walk in, you feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The gelato is absolutely incredible -- truly authentic Italian gelato that tastes just like Italy. Every flavor is rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. If you've ever been to Italy, you'll immediately recognize the quality. If you haven't, this is exactly what real gelato is supposed to taste like. I also have to mention Ioana -- she provides exceptional customer service. She's warm, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure every customer has a great experience. It's rare to see someone who genuinely cares that much. Highly recommend this place if you want amazing gelato and top-tier service.

That said, at $12 a serving it feels a little on the pricey side for what it is. The pistachio flavor was also a bit disappointing -- it lacked that deep, nutty punch you'd expect from a good pistachio gelato. Overall still a great experience and I'd go back to try other flavors. Just maybe skip the pistachio and brace yourself for the price tag!

I ordered the Key Lime Pie online for Administrative Professionals' Day. The picture of the whole…read morepie showed that it came with a meringue or whipped cream on top. When I picked up the pie it came in a box inside of a large bag that was stapled shut. The staff was very friendly. After I returned to the office, I discovered that the pie had no meringue on top. I called the shop to let them know and they said that only single slices of the pie come with whipped cream. I let them know that the website indicates otherwise and there was no option to select any toppings when ordering. They kindly offered a refund which I took and appreciated, though they really should fix the website to prevent further confusion. I gave the shop 4 stars because the service was friendly and the pie was very good.

It's a spot that is tasty and feels unique. I was downtown…read morethis weekend and planned to grab food at a open market there. Sadly nothing was appetizing there, but I checked my Yelp tags and I had Fireman Derek's marked. I knew it wouldn't be a proper lunch at a bakery but it would taste extra delectable. I walked into the high ceilinged spacious white interior of Fireman's. The guy working the counter was friendly and quick to help me. I shouldn't have come hungry. I got piece of apple pie, peanut butter and chocolate pie, and then, at a moment of weakness, I also got their famed magic bar. It's not a place that's affordable, it's a spot that you pay more because you know it has greatness. much later after lunch and hungry again, I had a bite of the aple pie. My goodness it was good. But when I took a bite of the magic bar I got a happy sugar rush that I hadn't gotten in a while. Scrumptious. I'm glad I stopped in, as any chance to support a smaller local business I think is important. Especially when you can taste the love in what they make.

I bookmarked this place because I was traveling to this area. Thank you helpers for an amazing…read morerecommendation. This donut shop is a BIG deal. The photos do not do the donuts justice. Why did I get two donuts when one doughnut is the size of my face. People wait in line for the coffee but also treat themselves to these gigantic treats. My favorite donuts are glazed twist, and sour cream blueberry. The shop had both, but I did not need to order two. Those donuts lasted two days. The yeast twist was very very dense but so fresh. The blueberry sour cream that I ate the next day was still fresh and the taste of fresh blueberries was very obvious. The shop was manned by two hard-working women. Coffee was made fresh. They also serve various lattes and cappuccinos. It's definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the Los Olas area.

The inside resembled a french bakery but not sure if that was their intent. Beautiful display of muffins, croissants and custom chocolate pastries. The barista was friendly and prepared my Kimbo Italian medium roast espresso. Presented in a mini shot cup with the Kimbo name imprinted. A New River Cafe logo stamp on the cup would be a nice touch and an inexpensive marketing tool. Lots of awning covered tables and cushioned seating which I took advantage of with my espresso peering at the yachts pass by. A great tasting coffee blend with million dollar views.

Opened since the 1970's and French inspired. Cute and stylish place to go. Either sit down service or take out. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was quick. The latte and croissant was to die for. So many pastries to choose from that it's difficult to pick. I love the neon sign on the wall that says "Meet me by the grinds." There even was a champagne vending machine to buy small bottles. Wine bar located in the back. Attached is a beautiful floral store to buy flowers and other items. What a cozy and unique place to go. I will definitely be back next time I am in that neighborhood.

One side is the floral shop and the other side is the coffee bar. The entrance to the coffee bar where you place your order is way too small for the amount of traffic flow they have coming in and out. I felt like I was in the way no matter where I went. The employee taking our order was not the nicest and definitely was overwhelmed. This isn't a regular coffee shop where you can place your order to go and still drink your coffee or hang around. We were told If we were not eating or drinking at the coffee bar you will not be able to sit down. Ordered two iced lattes and two empanadas. Coffee was okay but the empanadas were really good!

But extremely pricey, I was just passing by on my way to the airport and had heard about this place. Not sure if it's worth the hype and money,but my treats were very tasty. I brought them back on the airplane to share with my daughter back in California. Service was fairly quick, considering there was about 30 of us inside in line. The only thing I didn't like was about 20-30 different pastries were sitting on the counter and you're speaking to the cashier over them, which was pretty gross. Authentic Italian pastries worth giving a try!

When I try to breakdown the price in my head the math is not mathing, because what about this panini can add up to $21?! I would love for a response from the owner with an itemized breakdown so that I can make sense of this transaction. I am in awe..... The panini was "good" but not $21 good at all. As other reviewers have said this is absolutely a tourist trap so come at your own risk.

Did not like the flourless chocolate cake, the chocolate was a little bitter, but that's just personal preference.

Will definitely be back for more red velvet and to try their brookie!

Even with limited choices, the experience was worth it!
