Turkse Bakkerij Mentes in Wijk 11 Diezerpoort

The bread sold here is often not baked through properly. During Ramadan, the price suddenly goes up by €1, even though it is clearly visible that the quality is not up to par. Yet, this is simply sold to customers. It is disappointing that abuse is being made by raising prices precisely during this period. Not recommended — you pay more for poor quality. UPDATE The claim that I am the only one pointing this out is incorrect. Many customers simply do not bother to write a review; that says little about the reality. This is not about a single incident, but about multiple instances of bread that is not baked through properly, especially at the bottom. That is a recurring issue in my experience. Instead of taking the feedback personally, it would be better to look at the quality being delivered in detail. That is what it ultimately comes down to. And the companies I am targeting are companies that are not the ones making the most of their words, like you are now, but I won't go into that any further; you asked for it yourself. Next time, check the bottom of your sandwich thoroughly twice to make sure there was a dead fly underneath (you're lucky I deleted the photos). My review is based on repeated experiences as a customer, and I stand by it.

Best baker, delicious and fresh bread, tasty baklava, lamacun, doner kebab, and much more.

I am very satisfied with my experience at Turkish Bakery Mentes. I was helped in a friendly and polite manner, which immediately made a good impression. The service is top-notch and you really feel welcome as a customer. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for quality and good customer service. I would gladly come back here again.

Very friendly people who are passionate about their work! The food was very tasty. Everything is freshly prepared and ready within 5 minutes. You can get all kinds of things there, such as shawarma sandwiches, doner kebabs, or lahmacun pizzas, etc. I will definitely come back here again and highly recommend this place!

Great bakery. Always fresh and flavorful. I come here almost every week: Turkish bread for dinner, lahmacun for lunch, or baklava for grandpa and grandma. Everything is delicious. I don't have a favorite, but the börek with (sweet) potato is fun and tasty to try!

A very good, authentic Turkish bakery that, besides excellent Turkish breads, rolls, and sweets, also sells fresh Turkish pizza (lahmacun) and, every Saturday, freshly baked gözleme (two options: feta/spinach or ground meat). Highly recommended! (P.S. Is homemade kebab still a possibility in the future?)

I bought some ground burek a while ago, and it was delicious. See you again soon.

Delicious lahmacuns and fresh Turkish bread.

I've been coming here for years and have brought most of my friends and acquaintances here too, haha. It's great when you need a quick treat.

The service was very bad, and the taste was also poor.

The taste is bad and the service is bad.

The taste is absolutely terrible

The best bakery in Zwolle. As a Dutch person you can taste and experience great flavors here.

The tastiest bakery in Zwolle! I come here almost every week with my children, because when there is an afternoon free, they only want one thing: the Turkish bakery!

I can always count on a good lunch and welcoming staff here. Thomas a Kempisstraat would not be complete without Bakery Mentes!

Very polite people and delicious home made food.

Delicious fresh dishes. Friendly personal.

The bread is fresh, but really very fresh. The people are very friendly and very patient. the atmosphere was good. The food arrived nice and quickly.

A nice, sweet and cute brother is checking it out. I recommend this place.

Tasty fresh food Relaxed atmosphere Always good

Top Turkish bakery!!! Delicious lahmacun...good service and atmosphere...

Very tasty bread, the lamachun tastes very good here. Very friendly staff and very skilled in their profession.

Have been coming here for years for delicious fresh breads and tasty snacks. Always good!!!

Service and customer relations are very good

Delicious fresh lahmacun, definitely recommended!

Extremely tasty and fresh food. And very nice owner. Recommended!

Delicious gözleme and good, home-made lahmacun. The owner is a sweet, friendly man who recognizes his regular customers. The Turkish bread, the savory snacks and the dürüm are all delicious.

Always a nice snack on Saturday.

They are friendly and provide good service

Regularly get delicious loaves of bread (Lavas) from this bakery, delicious with the BBQ. Super nice people and open nice and early

Enjoy going there for a nice long loaf of bread and a friendly conversation with the bakers

Friendly people and delicious sandwiches for a good price!

Delicious sandwiches, good service and always a cheerful owner ❤

Customer-oriented, cozy and very good and fresh food.

Great staff, tasty food, good prices and a vegetarian option is well thought out! (Durum healthy!) and on Saturdays they sell fantastic freshly made gözleme

Great stuff. Some of the product are like in 🇹🇷. Gozleme, he's doing it on Saturday only. But it's great.

It's great that after this miserable lockdown and all the other corona stuff, there is fortunately the opportunity to return to the old life that we all missed after more than a year and a half. Great place for those who want to go there for Turkish bread, baklava, Turkish pizza with or without meat, etc. etc. Great owner who wants to help as many people as possible to sell them some products. Nice owner where we have been many times and will continue to come. Prices are absolutely not expensive. Plenty of paid parking spaces. Plenty of other shops on the same street. Spacious entrance for at least 1 electric wheelchair that can easily enter, but must be driven back backwards. For the rest you can also eat there if it is corona proof of course. Top people for those who want to go there or already know them. Top

Always friendly, always cheerful and can handle dry humor and their food is delicious, both the bread and the lamachun and the minced pide A choice for everyone, greetings Hennie and Jan Marina and a paw from the dog 🙂🙂🙂

Bread costs almost nothing and is super tasty. Nice staff, very friendly.

Delicious fresh (baked) breads! The hot specialties are also very tasty. Moreover, everything is affordable and the staff is friendly!

Simply a tasty snack. Well, a more common snack since their Turkish pizzas with or without meat are delicious to enjoy such a rolled pizza, not forgetting the sambal, lettuce, onions AND the delicious garlic sauce. Super You can also buy bread, rolls and other delicacies there. Not really expensive compared to Rotterdam, The Hague or Amsterdam. You can park on the street itself or nearby. Parking is paid. It's worth trying, but it's not an obligation, folks. The choice is yours. Good luck people

It's not tasty, I took it home, the food was cold, the salon has almost no meat, winey cheese, I'll never go again, sorry

Wonderfully lovely people, delicious products (gözleme = pancake with feta, spinach and spicy herbs) really delicious and super tender dôner. Really come back here often.

Top baker! You can make appointments and make great sandwiches. Highly recommended

Low prices, fresh bread and delicious doner and sandwiches.

The perfect sandwiches and food from Zwolle in the Thomas à Kempisstraat. Also try a delicious healthy sandwich, Turkish pizza or the other delicacies and delicacies that this restaurant has to offer. Highly recommended for those who want to be culinary spoiled in a special way. Super friendly and smooth service that really takes the time for you and serves you with a smile!

Good food and fresh guzeleme on Saturdays. Delicious!!
