Croissants, cinnamon rolls, baklava. We want it all! Join us as we discover some of the most delicious bakeries in Eindhoven and their mouthwatering sweet treats. Below, we share seven different hotspots that are more than worth a visit!
Lovers of Turkish delicacies may join the queue (yes, the queue on Kruisstraat). Eindhoveners are fan of everything they bake at Hizmet. Take their baklava, for example. This sweet pastry is made with layers of filo dough, nuts, and sugar syrup. Make sure to try other Turkish sweets like kurabiye (traditional cookies) or simit (a piece of round bread with sesame seeds). Do you prefer a heartysnack? Try börek, a delicacy made of puff pastry with a savory filling.
At the cozy Gerardusplein, you’ll find bakery Dodo. Every morning, fresh viennoiseries, sourdough breads, focaccias, and other delicious treats come straight out of the oven. Stop by for something sweet or savoury, or grab a seat in the sun with a good coffee and a homemade pastry.
At the Woenselse Markt, you'll find Bakkerij Bruxelles specializing in ... Moroccan bread, pastries, and more. The baker himself does come from Brussels, hence the name. In addition to classics like fried rolls and msemen, a Moroccan pancake (not sweet, but very tasty), you can order almond cookies and sellou, a nutty 'crumble cake' traditionally eaten at parties and other social events. Delicious!

Tiny in size, huge in flavor: Bakhuisje.This cozy bakery on Frederiklaan is the perfect spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. The display is filled with freshly baked coffee pastries, cinnamon rolls, and croissants. And their crispy breads, straight from the oven, are just as tempting.
On Edisonstraat, various local entrepreneurs have come together under the name Woensel Westside Stores. One of them is Sourmate, a bakery specialized in sourdough, with or without special additions (walnut and turmeric! Chocolate and cranberry!). Is your heart longing for something truly sweet? Try the almond cookies from Datça or enjoy a tahini roll.
