Delicious sandwich and friendly people

We came here on the recommendation of a tour guide. So... Wow, nice. They have "sponge" cookies/cakes in the style of marble cake, the coffee is excellent, the atmosphere is pleasant, and basically everything works. Was it a defining moment in my life? No. Did I go home and tell people that I had a culinary experience that changed my worldview? No way. The coffee, on the other hand, was really good. And that's important, because good coffee is about the only thing that can make me stop in the middle of a day's travel and remember why I went there in the first place. The cakes are nice, the coffee is good, the place is nice. I wouldn't travel all the way from Amsterdam just for this, but if you're in the Apeldoorn area, it's definitely worth stopping by. Then I discovered that it's actually a chain. I mean, it turns out that "nice, let's go in" is also a business model.

I bought a small apple tart yesterday for 15 euros. It turned out to have come from the freezer, which wasn't mentioned. It was watery and fell completely apart when I cut into it. I was very disappointed and didn't expect this, so I am disappointed in Bakkerij Schreuder.
