Here, in an original ambience, the coffee culture is not cheap but is exquisite. A special roast made for Hofer by the Solothurn Oetterli roastery. And you can taste it. Not your run-of-the-mill gastro coffee, but something you can't find anywhere else. Wonderful!

Very nice cozy cafe. The service was very friendly. The products are not cheap but definitely worth the price. A place to linger comfortably.

The best Confiserie in town, the almond puff pastry filled with some kind of sweet magic cream was out of this world, really… and the design of the cakes, oh my… beautiful place

The visit to the Hofer bakery in Solothurn left me with an ambivalent impression. First, I would like to mention the positive aspects: The ambience of the bakery is inviting, the selection of baked goods is diverse and the quality of the products is mostly good. I was particularly impressed by the fresh rolls and pastries. Unfortunately, I also have to share some negative experiences. During my visit I was unlucky that the boss himself wanted to take my order. It turned out that he was overwhelmed and didn't take the order correctly. When I pointed out that it was actually one of his employees who had taken my order, I was literally lectured and suggested that I was wrong. This incident left an extremely unpleasant impression on me. Overall, I felt there was a lack of professionalism and customer focus from management. If not even the boss is able to take an order correctly, the question arises about the competence of the entire company. Customers should be confident that their orders will be treated correctly and courteously, regardless of who takes them. In the future, I may avoid Hofer Bakery and look for alternatives that offer better service. It's a shame that such inadequacies affect the reputation and customer satisfaction of an otherwise promising bakery.

Unfortunately the last time I was here because the boss is absolutely rude. We were at the table inside and at some point went outside to smoke. When we got back, he moved our bags to another table so that other guests could sit at the larger table. He didn't even apologize for the circumstances, he just said, "You're sitting there now." The waitress and guests apologized, but the owner didn't make any effort. Two friends came along to meet us. So we ran out of tables for everyone and just left.

I paid 4 francs for a glass of water, I paid 3.50 francs for the cake (very fair price). More than 7 francs and the waitress didn't even serve me at the table, I had to bring the cake and the glass of water to the table myself. The cake was dry and difficult to swallow. The terrible service. How do you charge more than 3 euros for a glass of water, without even serving it??? I strongly advise against it.

Saturday 07/01/23 morning. Beaten for 20 minutes. Sat and waited. Despite a lot of serving staff, there was no sense of responsibility to clear the dishes from the previous guest or even to ask me if I had ordered something. If you don't have it anymore If you need it, leave it alone or the staff will simply overlook guests, which is also ok. In any case, that was the last time I was with you.

I love this cafe! Location, furnishings, atmosphere... everything is great :) However, the one employee with the short hair and glasses is extremely unfriendly... I heard and experienced several times how she seemed "annoyed" and insulted the customers, because she is "so stressed" (screams at the customers with "I'm coming!" (even though the cafe was empty or the customers didn't want to stress her at all, they just wanted to ask where the toilet is). That's what the employee is for with the longer dark and tied hair, a little shorter, probably Albanian the BEST waitress I have ever met. She deals great with customers (and stress), always has a smile on her face and if a problem should arise, she can Always solve this really well. She really makes you feel welcome. You could use her as a role model :)

I will never set foot in one of the Hofer branches again. What I experienced there a week or so ago is really the last thing. And that from the boss! I really feel sorry for the employees. We sat outside with four friends. When I was ordering, I politely asked the waitress if it would be possible to close the blinds so we could sit in the sun. While she was still answering me, Mr. Hofer promptly intervened and snapped at me. He won't retract the blinds, after all, the sun doesn't shine and even if he did, it wouldn't do any good to retract the blinds. I tried to point out to him, still very politely, that he could tell me that with a little respect. Afterwards I ordered my drink. Back at my (unfortunately still shady) place we were waiting for the drinks when the waitress came and told me that the boss didn't want to serve any drinks with oat milk today. (Although I got the exact same drink two weeks earlier). Shortly afterwards Mr. Hofer appears and I ask him what alternative I would have to my drink. After all, I already paid for it. Then he says to me: “If you want a chocolate with oat milk, go to the Suteria.” When I then ask for my money back, he pulls out his wallet and hands me a ten franc note. Which I found to be very disrespectful and arrogant. I explained to him that I would like to get back the exact amount I paid for my drink. And not ten francs from his own pocket. He then disappears. A short time later someone brings me a drink to the table. I am told that this is now a chocolate with oat milk. Since it spoiled my appetite anyway after the discussion with Mr. Hofer, I understandably didn't drink the drink. My friends were also horrified, as were the other guests around us. We left the restaurant shortly afterwards and while we enjoyed the bright sun, we vowed never to set foot in one of the Hofer restaurants again.

The last meal...! Unfortunately, that was the last meal in the Hofer Restaurant. For some time now I have noticed that the menus have been getting smaller and the starter salad has been omitted. Today the lunch menu “Thai green curry with rice noodles and chicken” reached a new low. After waiting for 40 minutes, the service specialist informed us that the order had not been correctly transmitted to the kitchen. Of the two daily menus ordered, only one meal was available. My companion then ordered a clay roll - with the hope that the meals for it would end up on the table quickly. After another 20 minutes of waiting, our meals were finally served. Unfortunately, the green Thai curry had nothing at all like a green curry. Instead, the lack of taste was covered up with excessive spiciness. The service staff offered us bread in the meantime. Although we answered this question in the affirmative, we were not served bread, which would have been useful to neutralize the excessive spiciness. On the way back to the office I took a detour to the Coop. At least there is bread...

If you order a packaged salad for 8.50 at the counter, eat the salad at a table in a deserted room and bring the plate back, the pleasure of sitting on a chair for 15 minutes costs: Sfr. 4.- Of course, this surcharge is nowhere to be found on the counter or in the room. I'm flabbergasted - I already knew that the food at Hofer was overpriced. Apparently just sitting is it too. By the way, the quinoa salad was bland.
