Great Service and delicious choices
I was recommended to visit this bakery by Kathy at Kasia's Bridal for my wedding cake. I called and asked for Fabiloa (as suggested by Kathy) however, she was not available. I did end up visting with Joanne. My visit was very informative. I was able to have a tasting with my finace and mother. I'm very happy to have made my appointment here. We did purchase a few of their delicious concoctions out of their cases to take home, we even were able to purchase a miniture cake with the flavor we chose for our wedding, which came in handy as we had guests coming over inthe evening, so we were able to get a consencous on taste. We all definitely enjoyed the selection and flavors. I felt like I was eat delicious imported european pasteries! Highly recommended. I will update my review after our wedding.

Would NOT recommend for your one special day!
Recently got married and met with Rolfs staff "Which were great." We had discussed my wedding cake in detail. Wanted my wedding cake to be five tiers and boxes turned so they weren't all even. I had a Christmas wedding and wanted the cake to look like WHITE fallen snow. I even brought them a colored picture of what I wanted. Needless to say as I walked into my themed winter white wedding reception and all I could see is my bright yellow wedding cake. I was upset!! As important as your one special day is and you count on the venders to do there one job. You would hope they wouldn't mess up something as important as your wedding cake. Very disappointed and don't want anyone to go through what I went threw. DO NOT USE ROLF'S FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY. I found out the hard way they are not reliable!!

Don't go there for the cake
The staff we friendly, but cake was terrible. If you want bland and dry this is the place for you. Our wedding venue offers a discount if you use Rolf's for the cake, but if I'm going to pay hundreds of dollars for a cake I'd rather serve something that people will eat, rather than serving something that will look pretty, but be thrown out at the end of the night.

When good places go bad
Rolf's used to make the best chocolate cake ever. Then, about a year ago, I bought one for a family gathering and was so disappointed to find that it was just terribly dry and stale. I decided to give them another chance last week, hoping it was just a fluke. Same thing this time, just really mediocre and dry. I could have made a Duncan Hines cake myself for a fraction of the price that would have tasted ten times better. So disappointing.

our wedding Sept 20, 2008 by Priscilla R. at InsiderPages
this was a second wedding for both of us, so we opt for the mini desserts instead of a cake. Our guests have not stopped talking about the wonderful experience. Beautiful display and wonderful, delicate taste. We highly recommend Rolf's Patisserie.

Wedding Galor
I recently used Rolfs for my wedding cake and i highly recommend it. To be honest the only dislike was that the designs were a bit dated but you can take a picture and the Chef will create the design just as it is shown. The cake choices were superb and you can sample with or without the filling. The process was made very pleasent and enjoyable by the cake consultant. She was amiable to work with. My cake turned out exquisite, i really did not expect less.
