You're in the right place to buy some amazing Gouda from the Netherlands. This cheese shop has tons…read moreof different Gouda from young to old, from plain to interestingly spiced. They also carry cheese from other countries. But you're in the Netherlands, why would you wanna buy French cheese here? I didn't know about this shop at first, but it was recommended by my Airbnb host in den Haag. I told her about our intention to visit Gouda and find some cheese, then she told us why go there when there's a cheese shop just around the corner? The guy there was friendly to help us with the selection. He even offered samples from whatever cheese you wanna try. Of course you can't be ridiculous. He recommended plain Gouda without any herbs and spice because that's the best way to taste the cheese, but I'm not really a purist and I ended up falling in love with their fenugreek (medium aged) Gouda. Omg so good, nutty, creamy and tastes a bit like coffee! I have never seen fenugreek Gouda in the US so this is definitely one of a kind. Have a cheesy day!

The chocolate is great, but service is not. I had to pay 0,25 euro for a simple 0,02 euro…read morecellophane bag, which was not mentioned before I paid. When asked, I was charged because I wanted to pick out the chocolates myself instead of buying a ready-made bag. This is the first time anybody charges me money for a simple bag of 0,02ct or so, and as far as I'm concerned, the last time. I needed the chocolates as a present for a friend, and I had already paid, so I took the chocolate and walked off. I won't go back there. Westerbeek is expensive, which is fine with me when I get quality chocolate and excellent service, but this was strange and I felt quite betrayed as a customer. Not a good experience, and a real shame.

Met eigen ogen zien hoe de ambachtelijke bonbons in het assortiment worden gemaakt, is een ervaring die bij het proeven van een bonbon een extra dimensie geeft aan uw smaakbeleving. Mede door het nastreven van een permanente hoge kwaliteit, worden de bonbons volgens kenners zelfs tot de lekkerste bonbons van Nederland gerekend. De bonbons van bonbon-atelier Westerbeek bestaan bijna allemaal uit een ganache, een zachte chocoladevulling gemaakt van de kwaliteitschocolade van Callebaut uit België. De bonbons zien er zo allemaal nét even anders uit, omdat er bijna geen gebruik wordt gemaakt van standaard mallen.Vanwege de hoge kwaliteit en om de smaak van de bonbons zo optimaal mogelijk te houden, hoeft u deze niet in de koelkast te bewaren.Een kleine greep uit het assortiment: Baton Café, een pure bonbon met de rijke smaak van koffie en een klein versuikerd rozenblaadje dat speciaal geïmporteerd is uit Toulouse, Frankrijk.

The coffee guide on the walls are a great touch for selecting the right drink for you. Convenient location near local tourism spots, though it gets quite warm in the sit-down area around back thanks to the natural sunlight filtering in from the Passage. I appreciated that they bothered with latte art on a to-go beverage order, which is something that's frequently disregarded back in the States. I was more impressed by the dark chocolate pistachio bark than the assortment of specialty chocolates (subtlety varies widely between flavors), but the coffee certainly hit the spot. The complimentary choice of a chocolate accompanying drink orders is a nice touch. I had hoped for some pedestrian pastry options like a pain au chocolat, but I'd settle for trying their sinaasappel oranje patisserie next time, along with their gepofte paprikasoep, warme quiche, and da hong pao thee.
