I love this bakery. They have Dutch Letters (a pastry filled with almond paste - delicious! ), beautifully decorated & yummy sugar cookies, donuts, different types of sweet rolls, scones, creme horns, coffee cakes... so many goodies! The employees are so friendly.
I have tried the other bakery a few doors down and I was VERY happy I did!! I had went to the other bakery the last two times and thought it was awful. I decided to give Vander Ploeg a try. What a marvelous difference! Everything was so fresh!! Like it just came out of oven. Dough was tender not hard and dried out like other place. I will Definitely be back next time in town! I just finished a loaf of apple bread that I bought 4 days ago and it still as good as day I bought!!...
Make sure to ask what is fresh. Since this is a small bakery they don't have a lot of things cooking at once. We got a Dutch letter, a cherry donut home, a butter pecan sweet bun and a chocolate Bismarck and a strawberry rhubarb bread. The letter was delicious and the ends are caramelized for a crunchy sweetness. The cherry donut hole, was like a glazed bready maraschino cherry. The Bismarck had a cream that was like boiled frosting (marshmallow texture with a frosting taste)....
