Rolf's cakes are absolutely amazing! I was at an event where the triple vanilla bean cheesecake was served along with the hokey pokey, which is exclusive to Whole Foods.
Oftentimes American-style cakes are way too dense or the cake itself is too dry, but Rolf has an authentic European style, as good as cakes I had in Germany. The vanilla mousse is so pillowy and you can even see flecks of vanilla bean in it. The cheesecake is in a thin layer, really letting the vanilla mousse shine, but adding a tang to each bite. Not the dense cheesecake you'll find at Eli's.
The hokey pokey was amazing as well, the cake was so moist, and buttercream was so light and airy. Dark chocolate ganache on top was super rich, but in such a thin layer that it was not overpowering. Next time I need a cake for a birthday or other special occasion, I will definitely go to Rolf's.
Pros: Cakes moist, with delicate flavors, very well executed
