Fehrenbacher Hof
Coffee, breakfast, & neighborhood whimsy est. 2001
We are the Hof.
"The Hof," as locals know it, wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Goose Hollow community: a dedicated stream of staff and clientele who believe that a coffee house is more than just a place to buy coffee. The Hof is a place to meet people, build community, and encourage intellectual thinking. Come for a coffee, stay for the conversation.
The Hof Story
The Clark Family, who also own and operate Goose Hollow Inn next door, opened The Hof in 2001. Prior to its opening, the space had served for years as a break room, shop, walk-in cooler, and apartment ... among other things. Its name, Fehrenbacher Hof, honors Sigrid Antonia Fehrenbacher, a talented violinist, antique curator, and wife of former Mayor Bud Clark, the proprietor of Goose Hollow Inn. It also honors Frieda Fehrenbacher, artist and professor.
When you step into the Hof, you may notice the walls and ceilings adorned with antique toasters, egg beaters, violins, and various other items from Sigrid's collections as both a violinist and antique dealer. Wander to the back room to experience a fantastic piece of Frieda's artwork, Hephaestus breaking open Zeus's skull to birth Athena. Bud chose this artwork for the Hof from Frieda's collection, thinking that it well-expressed the headache we all sometimes feel when we really want our cup of coffee!
Well, maybe we can't rid you of your headache, but maybe a visit to our corner of the world will bring you a moment of respite, a sip of pleasure, a new insight, or a reason to meet with a friend and rekindle a relationship.
Escape to Goose Hollow.
