Bio
Lacey Haslam
I first met Kristin through Fotofocus but have since been able to work with her on a more community level. She has incredible vision for bringing people together whether through art, teaching, and her work volunteer work with CampSITE Social Sculpture Park where she provided her pretzels and services to Camp Washington Community events. She rises to challenges, shows up for her community, she is engaging and warm, she is a powerhouse when it comes to work she is passionate about and is a true gem for Cincinnati. I've learned a lot from her and know you will too.

Hoff's Pretzel Company

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

Founder & Pretzel Maker
-
Apr 2021 - Mar 2023
Inspired by art, community, tradition, and innovation. Hoff’s Pretzel Company creates hand-made soft pretzels, soft pretzel bites, and dips. From classic styles to unique flavor profiles, our mission is to provide a high-quality pretzel experience that both delights taste buds and challenges the status quo in the baked goods community. Hoff’s was born out of my home kitchen in 2020. What started as a passion project and genuine enjoyment of baking, morphed into a hustle. Hoff’s is an evolving entity with many hopes and ambitions – mainly, partnering with local businesses and community members to encompass them in the artistry and enjoyment of soft pretzels. Hoff’s is currently operating out of the Findlay Kitchen at Findlay Market, in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Over The Rhine. We offer wholesale pretzels for sale and participate in the occasional pop-up event. Hoff Pretzels are currently being sold at Streetside Brewery and The Growler House. Contact us if you want to place a personal or party order. Show less
