Flour, yeast or levain, water and salt, those are the only ingredients in the bread at Bakker Aldo. The bakery in Lange Leemstraat, near the Antwerp-Berchem station, attaches great importance to craftsmanship. On the shelf you will only find sourdough bread that is given hours to rise. In addition, the bread is also rolled by hand. No improvers and additives, but pure and honest bread. Made with love by brother and sister Diego and Sheena who took over the bakery from founder Aldo Neri in January 2019.

Dellafaille bakery is an established name in Antwerp and the surrounding area. The business was founded in 1983 by Frans Dellafaille and has been providing Antwerp residents with the tastiest bread and the best pastries for more than eighty years. The mix of classic specialties and interesting novelties ensures that you are guaranteed to walk out with a well-filled shopping bag. The third generation of Dellafailles is now at the helm. The bakery remains a favorite with many Antwerp residents. In addition to the bakery in Schoten, outside the city, Dellafaille now also has branches in Antwerp's Museumstraat and near the MAS.

The charming Bloemberen bakery is located in the former school building on the central reservation of the Boekenberglei. Their slogan 'bread and side items' sums up this bakery well. Whether you come for the tasty sourdough bread, the delicious pastries or for the side items (think coffee, home-fermented drinks, etc.), it is always pleasant. So you can also linger there on a Saturday morning and watch the Antwerp families wake up with coffee and cake. If the weather is nice, you can also sit at the tables outside with a view of the airport's landing and taking off planes. In other words, this bakery is particularly kid-proof.
