The Real Dutch Bakery

Our quest to find sweet pastries on the island leads us to many places that advertise donuts, sweet rolls, cupcakes, and bread.  We have been to many of them seeking donuts, cinnamon rolls or any sweet pastry.

Since we dropped the grandson off at scuba certification class in the early morning, it gave us to time to visit yet another bakery in the morning as they close in the afternoon.

This is "The Real Dutch Bakery".

We think that the Dutch do not have a yearning for sweet pastries.  We have never found them on the island.  They are big into bread. They had loafs of bread and muffins. This bakery caters to the Dutch and makes the Oliebollen (a grease ball of dough and powdered sugar) that everyone eats at New Years. 


We did find a box of "Toppers Van Oranje". These are bread rolls filled with vanilla pudding and topped with powdered sugar. We got a box of 4 and brought them home.  It was the only sweet thing we saw in the bakery. Not exactly what we have been searching for but it was a pastry done Dutch style.

The search continues...
