Do you know the feeling of the past: it's your birthday and you're going to pick out your favorite cake with your family! But you can't actually choose and want to taste, smell and take everything with you. This is exactly the feeling you get at a pastry shop Strik, because choosing here is really impossible. The business has been a tradition in Nijmegen for many years (since 1937) and was founded by Mr Strik himself. With no fewer than three locations in Nijmegen, a visit to Strik is indispensable now have no fewer than three pastry shops and two chocolate and ice cream parlors, both in the center and outside the centre.

Viennoiserie patisserie Holy Sweets

Hoooooly what a good thing this is! Speaking about a case where you will really be amazed: Holy Sweets. This is not only a pastry shop, but also a... pastry, this is the kind of place where you can analyze handmade croissants layer by layer. Here they have typical French pastries such as brioches and galettes, but also pistachio and raspberry croissants. You will find this gem in the Houtstraat in the center of Nijmegen, not to be missed. Oui oui viennoiserie, un croissant s'il vous plaît!

On the Berg en Dalseweg, a long street just outside the city full of beautiful houses, you will find a pastry shop and chocolate shop. Looijenga. Here the cakes are really prepared based on (family) tradition: recipes have been passed on with love for generations. And it shows: the creations are made by their own bakers and look like works of art. A shame to eat, you might say? Well, after you enjoy the sight, the taste sensation can begin, because... yum these pastries are so delicious. Here you can dream away with wafer-thin croissants and... creamy macarons to wedding cakes and luxury chocolates.

Cakes from Moes Nijmegen

Cakes from Moes Nijmegen

Also the cakes from Moes should certainly not be missing from this list! Because this is a real treat and you will also make someone else very happy with it (hint, hint). This is the perfect place for an occasion cake. I personally understand that every occasion is suitable for a cake from Moes, not just Valentine's Day, Easter or Mother's Day. Although the range on these specific days is really AMAZING. Moes was founded by Marloes and you can find her business on the Daalseweg in Nijmegen. A big tip are the white chocolate-pistachio tarts and the mango-passion fruit meringue. But actually I would say, go for the mix and taste everything!

City bakery De Bie

City bakery De Bie

Not really a pastry shop, but a traditional gem on the cozy Lange Hezelstraat City bakery De Bie. Although this is more of a bakery than a pastry shop, it should certainly not be missed: you can go here for a traditional sandwich or pastry for on the go. So you have also come to the right place with a group consisting of people who do not have a sweet tooth. Of course, my big tip is to take one of the authentic pastries with you and enjoy it while strolling through the picturesque streets.
