Hoffman's Chocolates

In 1975 Paul Hoffman purchased a small candy shop in Lake Worth, Florida. His goal was to start a business that combined his two great loves, homemade chocolate and spending time with his family.

Dedicated to using only the best ingredients and century-old chocolate-making traditions, he would bring sweetness to Palm Beach county by opening four chocolate and ice cream shops.

In 2012, over an afternoon lunch with friends from BBX Capital, Paul’s family agreed to a plan that would grow their father’s chocolate-making legacy by introducing Hoffman’s Chocolates to the rest of South Florida and beyond.

Located at 801 S University Dr a108, Plantation, FL 33324, Hoffman's Chocolates operates as a chocolate shop serving Plantation in Florida. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as candy store, dessert shop, ice cream shop, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.
