Brood- en Banketbakkerij Sterk in Galecop

Bought a baguette today, what a disappointment. A sticky mess, didn't rise, and underbaked. Tip for the baker: go to France and taste a baguette.

Nice place, friendly people, and delicious sandwiches. Didn't bring lunch... Broodje Vreeswijk! Is your own lunch a bit disappointing... Broodje Vreeswijk!

I am writing from Kolkata, India, very close to the Missionaries of Charity and Mother Teresa House, and I must say — I absolutely love these biscuits! ❤️ They hold such wonderful memories of our childhood. I remember the Nuns distributing these biscuits among the needy people around their Mission, and because of the little holes in them, we always knew them as “Dot Biscuits.” We had friends and house helps who would receive these biscuits and share them with us. We would actually look forward to them bringing the biscuits home, just so we could get one precious piece of the biscuit! Sometimes buy them for a big amount. For years, I always wondered where these biscuits came from. As children, we imagined all sorts of things — even thinking that perhaps the Nuns were specially baking them for everyone at the Mission. The biscuits would come in a simple silver packet without any printed information, so I never really knew where they were made or who manufactured them. This time, however, I noticed a location printed on the packet. I was instantly curious and Google-scanned/searched the location to find out more, and that is how I ended up discovering this page. After so many years, I’ve finally managed to have them again. The taste is a little different from what I remember, and I noticed that the biscuit, which I remember as being square, is now rectangular. But despite those changes, it brought back such beautiful childhood memories. I would genuinely love to know the history and original recipe of these biscuits. How were they made and how did they come to be distributed around I would be so grateful if someone from the factory could share a little of their story — and perhaps even the recipe! 😊 And one heartfelt request: please consider making these biscuits available in stores across India. There must be so many people who grew up eating them and would love to experience that familiar taste and nostalgia again. Thank you for preserving a little piece of our childhood. ❤️

What a terrible place Bakkerij Bart has become. It is purely a cold money-making factory where customer friendliness and humanity are nowhere to be found. As a customer, you can see right before your eyes how bad the atmosphere is. The managers engage in open bullying and treat the young staff working there disrespectfully and rudely. The service towards customers is also below par. Everything here revolves around extreme stinginess: the sandwiches are filled as sparingly as possible, and you get almost nothing for your money. The absolute low point was when I saw/heard how tips are handled. If customers give the young employees a little extra for their hard work, it is snatched away by management. Apparently, it is even labeled as 'theft' if the staff wants to keep it for themselves. It is scandalous how this business tries to make a profit on the backs of young people. They will never see my money here again; from now on, I will go to a bakery with decency!

Quality is fine, but very much of the same.
