Secret Garden Bakery The Hague

Best kept secret

"I discovered this bakery by surprise when I was taking a shortcut through the city centre. It is located in the middle of the city centre and yet it's quite secluded."

I discovered this bakery by surprise when I was taking a shortcut through the city centre. It is located in the middle of the city centre, yet quite secluded and I had never seen it before or heard about it.

It is a cute place with a lot of pastel colors, cushions, flowers, and marble tables, which makes it a nice place for taking pictures. On the tables there are QR codes that you can scan to view the menu and order, so you can take your time to explore the extensive menu. They offer different types of sandwiches and toast, paninis, and pancakes. However, the different novelty latte's triggered my interest. I enjoyed a golden turmeric latte, but I also saw a butterfly pea latte on the menu, which I am interested in trying next time. The bakery also offers cakes and takeaways.

I really enjoyed the drink and reading a book in this bakery and I am looking forward to returning to try other menu items.
