Disregard Austin Powers’ perspective on the Dutch – trust me, ‘OMG’ doesn’t even come close to capturing the essence of this place. Boonzaaijer’s Dutch Bakery is like a spontaneous getaway to Europe right in your own backyard. Brace yourself for an extraordinary journey of flavors and aromas.
As we delved into about 8 different pastries, we were transported to a serene grass meadow beneath a charming windmill on a warm spring day. Each bite was a passport to a world of authentic taste and nostalgia (especially if you are Dutch).
Despite a line upon our arrival, it whisked us along in no time, a testament to the bakery’s efficiency.

We live roughly an hour away. Is that a blessing or a curse? It’s both a blessing because it saves us from consuming 2,000 calories a day in pastries, and a curse because it’s a challenge to resist the urge to make this a weekly Sabbath tradition.
And the surprises keep coming. Boonzaaijer’s Dutch Bakery doesn’t just offer delectable pastries; they also house a treasure trove of packaged souvenirs, candies, and cookies imported straight from the Netherlands. An unexpected treat that adds to the magic.
For Moses, it was like stepping into the Promised Land. He insists, without a hint of doubt, that a visit to this Dutch bakery is a must. Boonzaaijer’s Dutch Bakery is more than a bakery; it’s an experience you’ll want to relive time and again.
