Bakkerij Brood van Koos: Lekker Brood in Wijk 00 Centrum

Bread as it should be! Pain de campagne is my favorite. With butter and cheese, and if it's a little older, it's ideal for a toastie. And then that Christmas stollen... in a league of its own. Beautiful shops and great service. I love going there.

I agree wholeheartedly about the passive aggressive service mentioned in one of the earlier comments. I encountered it personally today. The bespectacled lady looked at me with disdain with my question asking her to tell me more of the different tarts displayed by the window as I couldn’t tell what they were as there was no cards of description of the tarts. Go elsewhere! There’s no need to suffer this sort of condescending treatment

I was helped well with a delicious pie. Everything in this shop looked delicious.

Fantastic apricot pie with a linzer crust! A beautiful shop with a wide and tempting selection, and plenty of space, which is very convenient. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. We didn't see any signs to indicate what was what, but someone quickly came to our aid. They're also honest in their advice! When we were unsure about our preferred filling or crust, the staff member admitted she would choose her recommended pie because she didn't like the other two fillings we were debating between. She did mention that it's a matter of personal preference. Perfect, everyone has their own preference, and it's great because we love the pie she recommended :) The cake with something like orange, apricot, and almond was also delicious and wonderfully light. I can't wait to come back for more!

Best bread in Maastricht and surroundings!

I picked up an order this morning, and upon arrival, there was no "good morning." Meanwhile, three ladies were rummaging through crates of bread. One of them yelled, "Yes, just say it..." to me, so I gave her my order number. She returned with the order and asked if I needed the Christmas order list (!?). Giving the change was a bit of a fumble, not even a "is that all for you, ma'am, do you need anything else?" In fact, not even a "good day," let alone a "happy holidays." This was my first time at Koos Bakery. But also my last. Friendliness is king. Whether they're on-call or new staff, people leave a lot of money for a Christmas loaf. A little customer service is definitely in order. You could learn a thing or two from Paulissen Bakery.

Unfortunately, Bakkerij Koos doesn't convince me. The pastries are fine, the bread is okay, but the croissants… they're dry, hard, and clearly overbaked. And all that for a price that makes you think you're getting something special—but you're not. For croissants that are actually worth it: just walk around the corner to Bakkerij Paulissen. At least there you'll get something that doesn't feel like an edible doorstop.

Delicious cakes and tarts. Good selection of homemade waffles.

One of the few bakeries in Maastricht where you can still get truly good, hearty bread. The pies are made by pastry chef Peter Lemmens.

Buy your cheese and cold cuts here, it's excellent. For other things like prepared meals and soups, read this: Minetrone 1⭐️: tasteless, thick, and slimy. Grandma's tomato soup 2 ⭐️⭐️: salty, bland, and "sour." (This used to be quite good, but they changed the recipe slightly.) Mushroom soup 1⭐️: I don't know what they use as a thickener, but it makes everything slimy. The flavor left a lot to be desired. Kale 2 ⭐️⭐️: Even the cabbage stems are used, and everything is overcooked. Meatball 1 ⭐️: Only pork and made according to the same recipe as buffalo meatballs. The result: spongy and fatty. In other words, HKvB (it could be much better!!).

The best bread in Maastricht, and their Christmas loaf is divine. Unfortunately, the women who work there aren't always very friendly.

Amazing bakery, try without hesitation!

Hello, very tasty pastries and bread, very friendly and helpful staff.

I went there to buy the famous vlaai from Limburg. But only had the picture from the Rijstevlaai (my favourite). The prices are good taking into account quality ans size. (Rijstevlaai = 5.50€; fruit vlaai = 4.25€). The service is really nice and friendly. The only thing I found really inappropriate is the fact that people working there touch the food with their hands without gloves, which is not hygienic. I recommend to book the cakes the day before so you'll enjoy it with no hesitation.

Tasty products, but I find €21.88 for a loaf of bread and a small pie (20 cm diameter) too expensive.

The service was fantastic. The croissant wasn't that special.

I was visiting Maastricht from Saudi Arabia for business and stumbled upon this bakery. I had the apple pie and man was it delicious… loved the place and the staff very friendly.

Bread is tasty. For the first time I managed to order a too good to go box and then it was canceled 1.5 hours in advance. It's good that there is nothing left to waste, but it's a shame that no thought is given to picking up the package on another day, for example. And the terms and conditions of too good to go state that cancellations must be made at least 2 hours in advance. So not a customer-friendly experience for me.

Great bakery. The visit is worth it!

Almost hit you when you cross at a zebra crossing and then dare to honk. Not smart if you drive the company bus, antisocial!!!

Delicious burnt croissants. Highly recommended. A bakery that dares to sell it over the counter should not call itself a baker.

Decent bread horrible staff. Seriously, avoid this place to avoid the sass and unnecessary passive agressiveness.

Great product, and the customer service was absolutely top notch. Had the sourdough loaf and the round rolls. So far Kooks is the bakery this side of the river .

Delicious bread and now also with specialties from Bakery Lemmens... including Miserabel and Grenache....

Super bakery, friendly staff, recommended

Very tasty bread, but 2 euros for half a loaf is very expensive

All kinds of bread/rolls and I even bought a cake there once

When I moved from Schinnen to Maastricht, my biggest loss was the village baker. Fortunately I found Koos. Delicious, unusual bread and very helpful service.

I bread as bread should be made.

A very good bakery where the bread is really fresh.

Very nice bakery but on the expensive side

The tastiest bread from KOOS, pure in taste, real sourdough bread! Taste and you won't want anything else....

For those who love artisan bread. Lots of choice. There is a good bread slicer (from very thin to thick). Friendly service.

Great bakery with the main focus on a large selection of Artisanal bread.
