The most delicious cakes in The Hague
In The Hague, they love sweet. You stumble over the many chocolate shops and pastry shops. Right now, there is even an exhibition on desserts: ‘Grand Dessert’ at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. If you're looking for a tasty cake, The Hague is the place to be. But where to find them? Who better to ask than a fanatical ‘master baker’! One who was in the finals of Heel Holland Bakt (the dutch version of the Great British Bake Off). And is from The Hague! Discover Susan Veninga's favourite addresses for the most delicious cakes (and dessert) in The Hague.
Hop & Stork - Passage 82
In the beautiful Passage, you will find Hop & Stork; one of the best coffee and chocolate shops in the Netherlands. The shop, with its open chocolate atelier, is the place to go for artisanal breaking chocolate, among other things, as well as the tastiest cakes. With or without chocolate flavour !
Banketbakkerij Boheemen - Laan van Nieuw Oost Indië 225
Can you get good Bossche Bollen (a pastry from the city of 's-Hertogenbosch) in The Hague? Yes you can! At pastry shop Boheemen. Their ‘Haagse Bossche bollen’ are based on the recipe of Jan de Groot, the founder of the Bossche bol.
Maison Kelder - Arabislaan 56 / Weissenbruchstraat 1 K
Maison Kelder's hazelnut cake is The Hague's most famous cake. Over the years, the classic hazelnut cream cake has had several variations such as hazelnut foam, chocolate and even a vegan version. All equally delicious!
Zayn El Amier - Goeverneurlaan 641
Zayn El Amier is one of Susan's favourite food spots in The Hague. They have the most delicious baklava in The Hague in different flavours including walnut, pistachio and cashew.
Dudok - Hofweg 1a
The tastiest apple pie in the Netherlands comes from Dudok Patisserie's bakery. Besides this apple cake, Dudok serves other delicacies from its own patisserie such as chocolate truffle cake, red velvet cake, carrot nut cake and muffins. All cakes are fresh and consist of 100% natural ingredients.
Lavinia Cakes & Buttons - Piet Heinstraat 103
Lavinia's cakes are not only true works of art, they also taste delicious. The chocolate cake with lemon is a favourite. You can also enjoy an elaborate high tea at Lavinia Cakes ‘n Buttons that she serves in beautiful floral crockery. It's like being in a episode of Bridgerton!
Pompernikkel - Beeklaan 370
When there are queues at the door, you know you're at a great place. And that's right. At Pompernikkel, they bake the tastiest almond croissant and the 'Kaasknaller‘(cheese stunner) is a ridiculously delicious cheese croissant’ according to Susan. Pommpernikkel is also famous for its sourdough bread.
Pâtisserie Chocolaterie Jarreau - Van Hoytemastraat 42
Susan loves Jarreau's Charlottes but also finds the rest ‘true works of art’. From pure and natural raw materials, without unnecessary additives, Jarreau's pâtissiers craft the most beautiful and delicious products every day.
Birdflower - Professor Kaiserstraat 55
Birdflower is not only a feast for your taste buds and but also for your eyes. Upon entering, you are automatically drawn to the display case full of beautifully displayed goodies. You can't really make a wrong choice, everything is equally delicious. Be sure to linger for a coffee served in a homemade ceramic cup.
Taverna Ouzomezes - Maziestraat 8
Portokalopita. Porto what? Portokalopita is the most delicious dessert in The Hague, according to Susan. You can order this delicious dessert at Taverna Ouzomezes, an authentic Greek restaurant where you eat the most delicious delicacies. With Portokalopita for dessert!
