1. Le Petit Jean

Le Petit Jean is a new pastry shop in Rotterdam Noord, located in a nice street along the Hofbogen. This lovely place is offering classic French pastries as éclairs or Paris-Brest for instance. Classic but made with an original touch.
Le Petit Jean is born from the initiative of a former restaurant sous-chef who decided to open its own pastry shop. All pastries are made by himself. I definitely recommend you to go to Le Petit Jean to taste their pastries!
You can also grab a coffee, to-go for now. Once it will be possible, you can enjoy it with one of their delicious pastry on-site and enjoy their cozy interior.
Address
Zomerhofstraat 75, 3032 CK Rotterdam
2. Urban Bakery
Also located in Rotterdam Noord in the Hofbogen, Urban Bakery is a charming bakery store. It offers awesome pastries. You will also find freshly baked, artisanal cakes and breads. For instance, you will have the opportunity to enjoy cupcakes, muffins and many more treats.
Urban Bakery specialises in pastries. However, you will also find bread from Vlaamsch Broodhuys.
You can visit them in their shop or order their cakes and pastries online on their website.

3. Koekela
Koekela is one of my favourite pastry shops in Rotterdam. It is an American-style bakery located in the city centre of Rotterdam. They offer a great choice of pastries, so you will definitely find something delicious there. All pastries are freshly baked and without artificial additives.
In ordinary times, it is also possible to join them in their café to enjoy a break with a coffee and a slice of cake for instance. I can’t wait to experience this again!
Be ready to queue for a little bit when going over there on Saturdays. But I can assure you that it worth it, you will not be disappointed.

They have a valuable savoir-faire as they have been baking for four generations now. In fact, the bakery Jan Bussing exists since 1899. Therefore, they offer qualitative and tasty breads, as well as French viennoiseries, like croissants and pain aux raisins.
