Kroesen's Marktbakkerijen in Wijk 50 Hoogeveen

A great bakery with a strong focus on pastry. Excellent and fast service.

Delicious coffee and pastries, sandwiches

The friendly lady can't help it that the delivered products are often not entirely fresh. Or maybe I've got something from the day before.

The food is great, but the staff, on the other hand, just don't seem to want to sell anything. They're anything but enthusiastic and don't listen to what you want. They're also very pushy while you're still trying to figure out what you want. I've been twice now, thinking maybe she was having a bad day. But I had the same experience both times.

It's probably all fine, but there's one thing about this bakery that's unreliable. If you call to order a delivery in their area, you'll get a girl on the phone who doesn't know anything about anything, but just writes down her phone number so she'll call you back around closing time in the afternoon so you can discuss your needs. Well, I never called back. Well, then my trust quickly vanished. Anyway, I wish him luck with the delivery, but not for me anymore. Find another real bakery; there are plenty of them.
