Thanks to our docente, she introduced this bakery. I love the ambiance and the assortiment of pastries and chocolates. I would love to try other items the next time we visit this shop.
Little pricey but happy to see vegan options! I hadn't realised this was a coffee/mocha kind of flavour of cream so my young daughter wasn't a fan but the pistachio base was really nice in combination with it. Lots of e number ingredients though which was disappointing as it came frozen so why the need for those ingredients?
Very delicious and different variations of salties and cakes, good price and nice/ helpful staff. You can also sit inside and have a drink while eating these yummies!
Although this is one of the highest rated and recommended bakkerij at Nijmegen, I did not have the best experience.
I went there because many blog posts were recommending this bakkerij and that i could find the famous Marikenbrood that’s a Nijmegen specialty.
My initial disappointment was that they did not have it fresh. They sell it frozen. Ready to take home and get it prepared there, for me that was a bit odd, but it seems that other bakkerijen do the same. Main issue for me is that if you are traveling or vacationing you don’t have a place to warm it.
Since I walked all the way there from the city center, I wasn’t going to leave empty handed, so I asked for a recommendation from the person that was currently there.
Her advice was to take a hazelnut pastry called “Louise”, the flavor was Vanille. I’m not a food reviewer or critic, but for me it was too much. It was hard to eat (too tall) and had a lot going on. It was a mix of a macaroon, with merengue and other stuff, maybe also too sweet. Really not my favorite.
I’m not rating lower because my experience was not the best, and the dislike of the recommended pastry is a personal taste. Other people might like it.
Besides that, the staff was friendly, I did not find it expensive and the place looked really nice, with a lot of diversity of things to choose from.
I ordered online, and i have no complaints. The service was nice, and the pastries were good. They responded really fast by email when i wanted to change my pick up time ( which wasnt a problem at all).
Very delicious ice cream. Creative home made kinds of taste. I loved the cheesecake, citrus and rosemary ice cream. Never ate an ice cream with rosemary before... Delicious. With the prices of ice cream having risen so much in the last 20 years I can't afford as much ice cream as I'd like anymore. Luijenga had a social deal running and I got 10 balls of ice cream for half the normal price. That was awesome
Ordered Red Velvet cake. Besides the expensive price, the taste was like a cheap supermarket cake. There wasn't any cheese taste at all, the frosting was probably butter cream, without taste.
Nice selection of specialty cakes for different occasions. Not up to snuff compared to a true French bakery, but still one of the best in Nijmegen. Beware of the truffels though, they have cream inside! :)
Scrumptious chocolate can be procured here. We wanted eight chocolates. You may have to tell the person behind the counter to put the chocolats in a bag (and not purchase sixteen in order to get a box).
I ordered a momento giftbox in this chocolatie. The giftbox is very small and not worth 22€. In addition to this we received chocolate that was good until august 2016... It is 2020 so please change that!
