Hoffmans Deco Deli & Cafe, Flint

The staff at Hoffman's Deco Deli & Café don’t just pile meats and cheeses onto sandwiches. They attentively make their bread from scratch, baking loaves of sourdough, marble rye, and multigrain for dozens of signature sandwiches. These handheld meals include the signature HDD, an amalgamation of ham, turkey, roast beef, provolone and cheddar cheese, and dill-mayo spread. Other sandwiches, which range from standard deli offerings to unique creations, provide bites as diverse as green apples, garlic-pepper seasoning, bacon, and coleslaw.

Bread isn’t the only thing coming out of the ovens. Hoffman's also bakes sheets of giant cookies, including peanut-butter espresso and cherry white-chocolate oatmeal. Customers can complete meals with a cappuccino—just one of several gourmet coffee selections made with Michigan-roasted beans—or fresh fruit smoothies with extra blasts of protein or flax.
