Bakker van Vessem has a wonderful bakery to pick up a fresh loaf of bread, speculass, or some yummy pastries. I am sure that I would have given them 4 stars if they had at least something for Gluten-free folks, but they did not.

The funny thing is they have three different types of hot chocolate: white, milk or pure. The food is simple and ok. It is made on the premises. Nothing spectacular. The outlet itself is a little worn. Seats are available inside. We ordered at the counter but saw later that they also came to the tables tot take orders. Maybe it was too busy when we were there. Delifrance zijn in de meeste grote steden in Nederland vertegenwoordigd. Diverse belegde broodjes en warme en koude dranken zijn er verkrijgbaar. Grappig dat er drie soorten warme chocolade verkrijgbaar zijn: wit, mellk en puur. Het eten is eenvoudig en in orde. Het wordt ter plekke bereid. Geen spectaculaire dingen. Het interieur is niet echt bijzonder en een beetje ouderwets. Binnenin zijn er zitplaatsen. We hebben zelf de bestelling aan de balie gedaan terwijl later bleek dat men ook naar de tafels toekwamen. Waarschijnlijk was het te druk toen wij er zaten.

There are also electric plugs at the table and free Wi-Fi so you could always get some work done while you're there. I think I would be far too distracted to sit there for that. I stopped in here briefly one morning to get a cup of coffee and a snack. I decided on the Sawyer flat white which had a decent taste. The presentation on the coffee is fun in their tall glasses. I also got a walnuts, honey and pineapple upside down cake. At least that's what it looked and was described as. I really couldn't taste much pineapple in it but regardlessit had a good flavor. Not overly sweet either like a lot of cakes.

Anyone in The Netherlands can tell you that Huize van Wely is the best chocolatier and cake maker…read morein the country. Their creations are spectacular, awe-inspiring, breath-taking (and certainly breathtakingly expensive!). They most have shops in areas where the ultra-rich live, who can afford to get their parties catered by Huize van Wely, or who are happy to pay double for a Wely-quality pastry. If you're familiar with Dutch customs, you'll know visitors are expected to bring chocolates, wine or flowers to a party or dinner at a friend's house. If you really want to impress your hosts, Wely should be your destination. Great place for custom/wedding cakes too. Though Wely is a little too pricy usually for me, my favorite purchase here was a gorgeous, enormous chocolate high-heeled shoe filled with bonbons for my sister's birthday. Perfect gift for someone who has limited space at home for regular gifts, is difficult to shop for, or who "has everything". Who doesn't love chocolate?
