Shop till you drop
Bakkerij Victor Driessen
The shop of family business Victor Driessen at Mezenplein in The Hague looks like a candy store. So many different kinds of bread and other treats. All the bread is lactose-free and contains no additives or added sugars and fats, just pure as bread should be! And that’s been the case for four generations now.
The bread pharmacist
Victor is an expert who experiments with all kinds of flour and grains to make the perfect bread. It’s no wonder he’s called the ‘bread pharmacist.’ With love, all products are baked every night for us by these bakers. By the way, you not only can you find (more than fifty different kinds of!) bread in the shop on Mezenlaan. They also have the most delicious muffins, cookies (including those from De Haagsche Koekmeisjes), (whole wheat) croissants, cheese sticks, and so on…
Here’s another excuse to cycle by Victor often: every season, it’s a feast for the eyes and taste buds here. The shop windows, showcases, and products are all decorated thematically and beautifully. From Sinterklaas to Easter and from autumn to Christmas, every occasion is seized for a fun and festively decorated bakery.
Vikkie on tour!
And you know what’s even more fun? The bakery also has two mobile, fully electric bread carts, named ‘Vikkie,’ driving around. They roam through The Hague’s neighborhoods, along the beaches, offices, high schools, nursing homes, and many other locations! Here you can see where you can find Vikkie during weekdays. Looking for this cute cart full of goodies on weekends? Check here.
Spotting Vikkie on the road? The bakers (and we) would love to see that! Post a photo on social media with the hashtag #broodvanvic or @bakkerijvictordriessen en @haagseschatten.
At bakery Victor Driessen, you can also use your Haagse Schatten gift card. And isn’t it wonderful to be able to try out all sorts of baked goods with that card? So, consider giving the card as a gift to a bread or cookie monster!
