Hoffman's Deco Deli & Cafe

Fresh bold flavors, great atmosphere & friendly service. Will be back. Don’t skip one of their hot sandwiches - FRWC 10/10

I want to express my appreciation and say how very happy I am with my experience with Hoffman’s. I called several places for catering for my daughter's baby shower. Hoffman’s not only responded in a timely manner but also was very fairly priced. I am so happy that I decided to go with them. The owner very kindly worked with whatever I needed and made the entire process way less stressful. In addition, the food was amazing and everyone loved it. I have nothing but positive things to say about this business. Thanks again for everything!

I hadn't been to Hoffman's since I was in college and was glad I stopped by! The sandwiches are just as good as i remembered. I had the University and it was delicious! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great wrap/sandwich in downtown Flint!

I visit Hoffman’s Deco Deli when I have to work in the office and over the past month I have been very satisfied with the customer service and the fast pace of receiving my food. There’s one young lady there in particular named Journey and she's a breath of fresh air very professional and friendly and quick with getting my order. You can tell she loves her job and she's appreciated by her employer I hadn't been in a while wanted to try something new she recommended the Hurley Med and that is now my favorite... With that being said visit Hoffman you won't be disappointed!

Nestled in the heart of the city, Hoffman's Deco Deli is a hidden gem that transports you to a bygone era of culinary delight. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the warm embrace of nostalgia and the tantalizing aroma of freshly made sandwiches. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming establishment, and let me tell you, it was an experience that surpassed all my expectations.

The moment I entered Hoffman's Deco Deli, I was struck by the tasteful art deco decor. The combination of elegant fixtures and vintage posters created an atmosphere that felt both inviting and classy. It's as though the deli itself is a piece of living history, preserving the essence of a time when craftsmanship in cuisine was paramount.

At Hoffman's, they've mastered the art of crafting old school sandwiches that are nothing short of perfection. I had the privilege of savoring their Classic Reuben, and it was a true revelation. The tender, thinly sliced pastrami, smothered in melted Swiss cheese and sauerkraut, was nestled between two slices of freshly baked rye bread. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with the savory pastrami harmonizing beautifully with the tangy sauerkraut, and the cheese adding that creamy richness that takes a sandwich from good to extraordinary.

But what's a great sandwich without a refreshing beverage? Hoffman's didn't disappoint in this department either. I ordered their signature Raspberry Lemonade, and it was a symphony of sweet and tart, just the way I like it. The freshness of the raspberries danced with the zesty lemon, making for a thirst-quenching delight that perfectly complemented my hearty sandwich.

The service at Hoffman's Deco Deli was equally exceptional. The staff exuded a genuine passion for what they do and were more than happy to offer recommendations and provide insights into the deli's history and their culinary philosophy. It's evident that they take pride in preserving the traditions of the past and delivering an authentic, mouthwatering experience to their patrons.

In an age when fast food and chain restaurants dominate the culinary landscape, Hoffman's Deco Deli stands as a testament to the enduring allure of timeless flavors and meticulous craftsmanship. If you're in search of a sandwich that will transport you back to the golden age of delis, look no further. Hoffman's is a must-visit destination that will delight your taste buds and evoke warm memories of an era long past.

I work in Flint and eat lunch at Hoffman's 1-2 days every week... and it never gets old! They have a variety of unique high-quality sandwiches all named after historic Flint figures/landmarks. The staff are all very friendly, and in the summertime it's great to sit outside. Highly recommend - best lunch spot in town!

We really enjoyed our lunch there. It was a very nice change from the usual lunch spots. My daughter said it was the best sandwich she has ever had. My sandwich and my wife's salad were awesome. And it was cool to go downtown I would highly recommend this place.

The down town VIBE
So many fun and unique choices of sandwiches, salads and soups. Local Flint coffee company coffee and espresso
Everything is local, made to support local business. Who doesn't love that?

The staff are very friendly, the food is great and there are lots of options. They get you in and out as well, if you are in a hurry. The owner is a terrible fantasy football manager but a great restauranteur!

I've been hearing how good this place is so I decided to come and check it out. To my surprise it lives up to the hype. The food is really good tastes really fresh. The atmosphere is great service is really good. I don't have any complaints at all. I will definitely be back to try out some of the other sandwiches.

Great sandwich, as usual, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for wrapping my leftover sandwich half in PAPER and putting it in a brown PAPER SACK; VERY ECO-friendly!

I had the Farmer's Market salad, it was delicious actually had to go back the next day. If your hungry and you're Downtown check them out

Holy moly!!! Whoever dreamed up this place was dreaming big!! The menu had so many options and was just delicious. I'd plan on spending about 20 per person but definitely a must try at least once if you're in the area...or more often if you have that green!!! The atmosphere was great and then it got better because this big garage door was opened and I had the comfort of being indoors which is a bit more private with that outdoor fresh air feel!! It's a great place to take a business associate for lunch or even the family while in town touristing. The staff is super positive and genuinely friendly. Definitely a must try.

Great Service and atmosphere! Located right downtown easy parking behind the building or right in front. Been here a few times menu has a good variety for healthier options for lunch and vegan friendly. Definitely check it out if you want a real deli sandwich unlike subway or Jimmy John's.

We had breakfast sandwiches. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of our meal! Every bite was delicious!

Friendly wholesome environment. Good for a quick snack or a sit down meal. Thanks for being Open!!

DELICIOUS, super fresh. The service was so friendly, the space so welcoming with it's retro yet cozy physique. Will definitely be back!

Wow, our first time. What a wonderful delicious deli with some of the most amazing guys. We had so much fun and the food was wonderful 😋

been a fan since i had my first downtown brick sandwich over 10 years ago. Owners are doing things the right way. Heath remembered my name after the first stop in i was impressed. oh and once we bought a rad old couch from the antique shop that was attached. spent $419.00 on lunch that day. not one regret. here's the couch in case you wondered.

Stopped in for lunch after wanting to try this place for awhile. The service was awesome, quick & friendly. The food was amazing and so tasty. I can’t wait to go back, definitely recommend.
