About

In the charming Oude Stad of Haarlem, Bakkerij Van Vessem stands out as a delightful spot for lunch. Known for its moderate prices and friendly staff who are always eager to offer snacks, this bakery and café serves an array of mouth-watering dishes. From cheese and ham sandwiches to buttery croissants, everything is crafted with care. Their sesame whole wheat bread, notorious for its fantastic taste, pairs beautifully with the menu's selection of meats and pork.

While the crispy baguettes and the best chocolate cake in town attract many, a few branches might feel cozy due to their compact layout, occasionally leading to some crowding. However, efforts are being made to enhance the shopping experience with improved hygiene practices and clearer signage. For those on the go, takeaway options ensure you won't miss out on enjoying their baked goods.

Goeie bakker met heerlijk brood maar is toch niet van deze tijd dat in de kou de deuren wagenwijd open staan...?!

Het sesam volkoren bij Van Vessem is heerlijk. De chocoladetaart de beste die ik ken. De stokbroden zijn goed, net echt frans zeer knapperig. Noten rozijnenbrood. Waarom toch een ster minder? In filiaal Grote Houtstraat is de indeling rampzalig. De klanten staan in de rij pal naast het brood te hoesten. Het is niet handig dat de verkoopster de hele tijd om de klanten heen moet cirkelen. De mensen die er werken zijn wel erg aardig. Er is altijd iets te snoepen, erg sympathiek.

Like the store in Kleverpark however this one is just ridiculous by it's design. Never seen that in a bakery. Everything is at reach as in a self service shop but you get told off as it is not a self service shop! In which case make it a regular bakery like Oscar across the street
