Bakker Van Den Berg in Wijk 00 Burgum

A nice shop with lots of choice and very friendly staff

Delicious cup of coffee with watch-catchers And the bread is all delicious.

This week we bought an apple pie from this bakery. Because I have a nut allergy, we explicitly asked if nuts were used in the pie. We were assured that this was not the case. However, upon eating the pie, it turned out that there was indeed almond paste in the crust. I find it truly incomprehensible and very reprehensible that this is overlooked after being specifically asked about. When we called the bakery about this, the response we received was: "Oh yes, almond paste is of course also made from nuts." No apology followed, and there seemed to be little awareness of the seriousness of the situation and the consequences for someone with a nut allergy. If you are not sure, say so, but a mistake like this really should not be made by a bakery. I find a lack of knowledge about allergens *and* the absence of any responsibility or empathy truly unbelievable. Absolutely not recommended!
