What's not to love about a giant profiterole filled with the best fresh whipped cream and covered in a dark chocolate fondant icing? We came here on a rainy Friday and there was a line of about 10 people out the door. We ended up going inside and grabbing a table as we were a group of 4 and there were seats available. We ordered a few Bossche Bols for the group and coffees. If you ever have the opportunity to come here, please do. This bakery is known for the Bossche Bol, right by the train station, on the main street as you exit toward the city. Pro tip, if there's a line outside and you have some time, check the dining area to see if there are tables! Bossche Bols are best when they're fresh! read more

This place is famous for their Bossche bol (a large cream puff, stuffed with whipped cream filling on the inside and covered in a chocolate layer on the outside). The Bossche bol from this establishment in particular was highly recommended by our tour guide, and it did not disappoint. The whipped cream was both thick and airy (a really magical combination if you ask me), with the perfect amount of sweetness. I thought to myself: So this is what a proper Bossche bol should taste like! My only gripe was that the layer of chocolate on the outside was way too sweet. It's supposed to be dark chocolate, yet I don't know how it's so sweet. The mint tea here was also too strong for me, and the cup was quite small. If they only used a bigger cup and added a little more hot water, it would have been perfect. The service was stellar though. My boyfriend and I shared a single Bossche bol (it's huge!), and they even brought out an extra plate and set of silverware without us asking for it. Pro tip: If you grab a Bossche bol to go, it's only €3 instead of €3,60. I personally think the sit down experience is worth the extra 60 cents (especially if you can grab a table upstairs with a nice view). read more

Banketbakkerij Jan de Groot is a must stop if you plan on visiting Debosch. Seriously, there's a reason every restaurant and cafe has it on their menu. They're known for their bossche bollen. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 2:30pm) and it was busy. There was a small line for takeout orders but all the tables inside were occupied. - 2x Bossche bollen (€2,35) - these balls live up to the hype. Not too sweet but light, airy and creamy. It's basically a delicious cream puff with an outside chocolate layer. Go get them brown balls. Should have stocked up on more when we were there! read more

Had a taste of these guys our first night in "Genbosch". It was on the dessert menu at a local restaurant. I was told by my travel companion and buddy Jean that they are known for these brown balls here and the actual bakery would have them cheaper. So got my ass to the bakery before we left the nice quaint town. Mmmmm these big brown balls are something else. A totally different spectrun of creamy .... expolsion in my mouth. If I lived around here I know brown balls would be a constant visitor down my throat. read more

Ask anyone in the area where to get real Bossche Bollen and they will all send you here and practically every café or restaurant in Den Bosch probably has their Bossche Bollen from Jan de Groot as well. And for obvious reasons: they're amazing. My bestie is not a fan of whipped cream and I hate eating it in big giant mounds, essentially a Bossche Bol, but there's just something about the one's from Jan de Groot that makes them delicious to even the most fervent hater of whipped cream. There's a level of complexity with not-too-sweet cream, crisp and golden choux and a deep, rich, delicate coating of bitter chocolate. Heaven. So as for Bossche Bollen, if you want the real deal you must come here because if you don't, chances are you'll end up with a big mound of overly sweet something. As for the other pastries, I think they're all just as delicious but the bakery can be a bit overwhelming. Because this place is so popular they tend to have lines out the door but still have quick service that works through the line quite efficiently. Now when you don't know EXACTLY what you want when you come here, that can be a bit overwhelming as they have a very large selection of pastries. Too large a selection for the fast pace in which they handle a queue really so that adds a bit of stress when there are so many people waiting in line behind you. On the bright side: the Bossche Bollen really are cheap and the other pastries aren't too expensive either. I know one thing: I don't mind that my mother has given me the standing order to pick a few Bossche Bollen up for her and my dad whenever I visit my bestie on a weekday. read more

The Bossche Bol was amazing! Lucky for me my husband wasn't feeling well so I got to eat the whole thing myself! We also another cake, and while tasty, it paled in comparison with the Bossche Bol. While the line was out the door to the curb, this was for take away, we were able to get a table for dine in quickly. read more

This small city doesn't have much international fame among laymen but the little it does have is in the name! Or has it in their names? Uhh, anyway I meant Hieronymus Bosch and the Bossche bol. For the pastry, all guides pointed to this place and the line out on the street was telling. Have your money ready for the somewhat gruff ladies working here so the people behind you in line can get their sugar high as soon as possible! Once I got one and sank my teeth into it, I was in whipped cream heaven! But it really is too much of a good thing and not enough chocolate to even out the cream. I wish it was a little smaller or had someone split it with me, believe it or not. It was delicious but the whipped cream slowed me down for the rest of the day. It's a nice treat and worth trying, but during our walk around the city we saw many cafes offering Bossche bollen from the very same bakery. So you don't have to endure waiting in line here, you can just go to a cafe that advertises it and you will get the same pastry. read more

THE place for 'Bossche Bollen'/DE plek voor 'Bossche Bollen'.

Being the original makers of the 'Bossche Bol' creampuff, de Groot meets all expectation. There's a certain kind of heaven in these creampuffs: they're perfectly chilled like a sparkling white, frosted with chocolate, fluffy yet filled with oodles of soft dough, and most importantly, puffed full of soft and sweet (not overly butter-y) cream. They are about the size of a tennis ball, so be prepared to finish it, lick your lips, and be filled for hours with sweetness. read more

Nice place but very crowded during the weekend. My advice is to eat your "Jan de Groot Bosschebol" on a certified place within Den Bosch. They will be proudly presenting the logo and full name if they serve them! read more
