On my lonely carb craved quest for the best Hoofddorp has to offer in terms of bakeries, I found…read moremyself in new land of bread called Bakker Gerad. 'Twas a grey drizzly day and as I walked up to the almost unrecognizable entrance next to the moat along Hoofdweg, my stomach, tired from the long journey, was ready to invade some yeasty loaves and conquer some sweets on the side! The fair dutch maiden was quite friendly and even corrected my grammar whilst I spoke in her native tongue. I humbly ordered an old cheese bruin bread sandwich, a loaf of muesli-nuts bread, and a speculaas pie. Yes.... They have pies for this heathen mash of gingerbread crusted butter/marzipan magic!! All other items from the store looked delicious and on par with every other bakery within the Hoofddorp village. And how fare thy bread? OK.... The sandwich was rather boring and I almost forgot its existence. The others were good, but like many other bakeries, I can fare the same with their goods. I swear to the bread gods that I will find a five star bakery before my quest is through; however, today... is not that day. Until my next entry - god speed.

Seriously, it's a cute little shop. Just wouldn't hop on a train to Schiphol especially for a cupcake like I would for the spicy tuna rolls from Shirasagi Sushi Bar, but if you're there anyways....

When I tried to get the cupcake out of the packkage it was already damaged. The cake was a little bit dry and for me not sweet enough. I had better in Amsterdam city. The little store is sweet and almost tempts you to buy everything because of The great lay-out. They have beautiful cupcakes (around E3,30) and if you buy more you get a discount. Also macarons, coffee and drinks. The staff was very very friendly!! Maybe next time I Will have a different cake.

This time I took a banana smoothie and some sausage bread :). Quite simple, isn't it? Sometimes I miss the variety of some species, but I like the refreshment of the little breads. The service is very fast to takeaway and to hurry your train. Also for vegetarian people there is a lot of choice. You have the restaurant and express which is one the LaPlace. They have delicious healthy smoothies, salads, sandwiches, pizza and little snacks. But also cold drinks, cappucino and tea are part of the company. The personnel is very friendly and helpfull. If you want to bake your egg, they are prepared to do that for you :). Most of the visitors are staff from Schiphol, tourists, daily travel users or business people who are in conversation. Chargers are avaiable at the tabels for charging your phone or laptop.

It's mainly a bakery with a…read morevariety of sandwiches and I called here hoping to grab a snack before my flight back to Manchester. The staff didn't seem too helpful in terms of helping me regarding my allergies, the best they could say was 'over there' when I asked if they had anything gluten-free. After originally struggling to find them, I found a small gluten-free selection pre-packaged (and not fresh!!) mixed in with a few other gluten sandwiches - bad form from a bakery! The sandwich selection was really poor, priced at over €4 for a small roll they weren't cheap either. They had a chicken and pesto and a ham flavour on different breads, the latter seemed really unappetising as it was boring, uninspiring plain ham - gluten free bread is generally dry so combining the two with nothing else is just plain wrong. Presentation of pre-packaged sandwiches could also be nicer, considering this and the poor range of food, and of course the poor and rude service, of course at a premium airport price, I sadly feel Bread! at Schipol's Lounge 3 deserves just a one-star rating.

It most closely resembles "slootwater". See google translate for what that means. I don't think this cappuccino was even based on an espresso but on filter coffee. I had the friendly lady at the till make me another cappuccino but unfortunately it wasn't much better. Nice views of the planes though.
