Hoffman's Chocolate — Restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens

Hoffmann's is a local South Florida chocolate maker (founded in 1975 and currently headquartered in Greenacres) who has, I believe, seven locations in the Miami - Dade metro area that extends all the way to Northern Palm Beach County.

They make and sell their own homemade chocolate and also carry a selection of ice cream (at least at this Palm Beach Gardens location on Military Trail).

This place is consistent and when everything has really dropped after COVID, there has been absolutely no change in the quality of their...
