At this bakery, I had a croissant, a type of viennoiserie with custard and fruit on top, and a sourdough loaf. Everything was beautifully dark-baked.
Bartine is a popular Dutch bakery located in The Hague. The shop was really crowded, because it was a Saturday. I saw beautiful focaccias behind the display case and many other delicious treats. You could sit at a table and enjoy a drink with a sandwich or a pastry. Next to the shop, they were busy baking these goodies — through a large window, you could watch and enjoy the process.
Brood van Bro is a lovely shop in The Hague where you can enjoy your pastry both inside and outside, with a view into the bakery where you can watch them sliding loaves into the oven.

At this bakery, I bought a raspberry croissant and a pain au praliné. Both were tasty viennoiseries.
Maison Philippe Conticini is well known for their pastries, like the Charlotte Framboise. In the shop they also sell very large croissants and pains au chocolat here, as well as beautiful pains suisses, pains aux raisins, and various brioche feuilletée with little fillings, all as part of their viennoiserie selection.
It’s a small, charming organic shop. You can sit outside on a little terrace to have a drink or enjoy a nice lunch. It’s located near a beautiful viewpoint overlooking all of Paris.
At this bakery, we had a Danish strawberry pastry made with croissant dough and Les Culs Terreux (a sourdough bread).
Cedric Grolet is a super popular bakery, largely because of its pastries, like their flower-shaped creations and realistic fruit-shaped pastries. It is quite an experience and clients have to wait in line here. We waited for 50 minutes. I wouldn’t call it a bakery, but rather a bread jeweler.
The bakery looked very atmospheric and elegant. When I was in Paris to visit this bakery, it wasn’t open on the weekend, so make sure to check the opening hours before you plan your visit.
At this bakery, I bought a escargot pistache chocolat and a flûte.
