Das Brot Rotterdam
The healthiest & tastiest bread in town
I live in a neighborhood with many options to buy wonderful bread. But this one I think is even worth recommending as a city souvenir. Das Brot is a small business run by a lovely lady who makes sourdough bread "as it should be". It is the most natural in town — at least in my experience — and that shows because days after you have brought it home it will be tasty and fresh.
The shop itself is also very unique and lovely. You can sense the slow and loving bread-making process behind a great wooden bookcase displaying the loaves of bread for sale that day. It is so artisanal that they even sometimes have the skyline of Rotterdam on the crust, with the lovely colors that patience and a good oven can bring. They have different kinds of loaves, small breads, baguettes that change according to the season. Also, don't skip the temptation and go all in to taste their wonderful croissants and sweet delicacies. You can also count on vegan bread, fresh eggs and butter and even natural wines.
Pay attention to their opening hours and be prepared: their bread is so good it almost flies. If you see the door closed, don't be afraid to knock. I love that if they are not there or if they've just sold out, they will leave a huge note in white letters scribbled on the door. So if there is bread, grab it and enjoy it in a city picnic.
