While researching from the United States custom birthday cake pastry shops in The Hague I found Perfect Pastry. I sent to Perfect Pastry an email inquiring about the possibility of making a custom birthday cake with a specific layered interior filling, and a custom inscription on the top of the cake, and a card. Nermina responded the very next day with detailed information and a price. Even with a nine hour time difference Nermina was extremely responsive, and detail-oriented. I was also able to request a specific two hour delivery window. The cake arrived at my in-laws' apartment exactly on time. The cake was visually beautiful, and the filling was exactly as I had requested. My wife and her family reported that it was one of the most delicious birthday cakes they had ever enjoyed! The cake was indeed perfect, and so was the experience in terms of inquiring, ordering and executing. Thanks to Nermina and Perfect Pastry for making an international order easy, successful and delicious! I highly recommend Perfect Pastry!

Went around 8pm on Thursday nite and mostly men were waiting around for their food. Will try the Turkish pizza next. it's worth the wait and the walk. Prices are very inexpensive/budget friendly. They also sell breads and desserts but most of it was sold out. The two guys are very nice And work really hard. There's an XL Albert Heiin market on the way. Located In the zeeheldenkwartier.

Eating out in the Hague (or anywhere around West Europe in general) leaves a lot to be desired in…read moreterms of price if you get paid in a country with a significantly lower GDP; whereas a quick-and-easy Chinese takeout costs probably no more than 6-8 dollars where I'm from, I remember drunkenly paying 14 EUR for a plate of char siu with fried rice. Luckily for long-term visitors, there's always the more affordable options in the form of Doner Kebabs, Lekkerbek, and Surinamese cuisine; I'm willing to bet that there may be better options somewhere in the Hague, but you won't find anywhere that beats Bakkerij Maxima in terms of cost performance on the new and upcoming Hendrikstraat. Maxima offers all the suspect Bakkerij essentials including your choice of broodje or durum doner (chicken or veal), and also falafel for those engaged in more animal-conscious diets. They also sell a wide range of Turkish pastries both savory and sweet; alongside some of your favorite flavored yogurt drinks from Asia Minor. My recommendation is either the broodje kip with the works + hot sauce, or if you like the durum better, I'd go with kaaf without the hot sauce. Unless you're vegetarian and absolutely have to eat here because all your other buddies are eating too, I wouldn't order the falafel; they take it out of a freezer and it comes out a little soggy even after a thorough frying. All the workers here are impeccably polite and very accommodating of non-Dutch speakers too, if that will assuage your decision in anyway.

You're in the right place to buy some amazing Gouda from the Netherlands. This cheese shop has tons…read moreof different Gouda from young to old, from plain to interestingly spiced. They also carry cheese from other countries. But you're in the Netherlands, why would you wanna buy French cheese here? I didn't know about this shop at first, but it was recommended by my Airbnb host in den Haag. I told her about our intention to visit Gouda and find some cheese, then she told us why go there when there's a cheese shop just around the corner? The guy there was friendly to help us with the selection. He even offered samples from whatever cheese you wanna try. Of course you can't be ridiculous. He recommended plain Gouda without any herbs and spice because that's the best way to taste the cheese, but I'm not really a purist and I ended up falling in love with their fenugreek (medium aged) Gouda. Omg so good, nutty, creamy and tastes a bit like coffee! I have never seen fenugreek Gouda in the US so this is definitely one of a kind. Have a cheesy day!
