Koek!

The Dutch love their Koek! Although this literally means cake, it is nothing like birthday cake but rather a firm rectangular shaped loaf that can be flavoured in a variety of way: anise, honey, cinnamon and clovers, raisins, pearl sugar or ginger.  They might call it a number of different names: ontbijkoek/breakfast cake; kruidkoek/spice cake; honigkoek/honeycake; Friesekruidkoek/Frisian spice cake; candij koek/candy cake/pearl cake; rozijnekoek/raisin cake; gemberkoek/gingercake

  • Honeycake is the simplest of all. Ours is made by Schep’s Bakeries. 350 grams
  • Friesekoek comes presliced in 3 layers and is flavoured with cinnamon and cloves. 425 grams
  • Raisin koek has a hint of cinnamon and is loaded with moist raisins. 485 grams
  • Pearl koek is topped with what looks like pearls but are actually little balls of soft sugar. 485 grams
  • Gingercake is studded with chunks of candied ginger. We carry two brands: Modderman 400 gram and Royal Cakes which has more ginger and weighs 485 grams

Koek is traditionally cut in slices, smeared generously with butter and served with coffee or tea.  Some people slice it very thin and serve it on bread.

Our online store allows you to browse our European Pantry shelves from the comfort of your home. You can pre-order for pick-up or drop-off in our delivery areas OR make arrangements with us to have your order shipped. We strive to keep the prices in our online store current but as a small retailer it is impossible for us to be 100% accurate for the 1000+ products we list. Products with variable sizes like meat and cheese products will reflect approximate prices. 

Therefore, as you shop your “total order” will be an APPROXIMATE total. After you submit your order, we will communicate with you about shipping costs and any pertinent stock or price updates. Once you have said you wish to proceed we will send you an order summary. You will then be able to pay by eTransfer or call us with a credit card payment. PLEASE NOTE THAT SHIPPING ORDERS UNDER $25 BEFORE TAX AND SHIPPING MAY BE SUBJECT TO A $10 HANDLING FEE.  Thank you for shopping with us! We hope it is a pleasant experience. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our products or our ordering process.
