Bakery Broekmans

Who is this a real getaway for?

Whether you’re on your way out for a walk, want to stock up on breakfast supplies or are looking for something tasty for a birthday, Bakkerij Broekmans Maasbree is a lovely place to stop off. Families, bon vivants, cyclists and lovers of Limburg’s local produce will soon feel at home here.

When will you visit?

Fresh bread tastes good every day. Yet a visit on a Saturday morning is particularly enjoyable when the shop is full of freshly baked rolls, pastries and Limburg flans. It is also a favourite spot for public holidays and special occasions.

What to expect.

At Bakkerij Broekmans, it’s all about the craft that has been passed down from generation to generation since 1871. As soon as you walk in, you’ll smell freshly baked bread and see a well-stocked counter full of Limburg flans, luxury rolls, pastries and handmade chocolate. The shop in Maasbree is part of the family-run bakery, which is now managed by the fifth generation of the Broekmans family.

Here you can choose from fresh bread baked daily, crispy rolls for lunch, generously filled pastries and classic Limburg flans made to our own recipe. It’s also the place to go for festive cakes or a tasty gift. Did you know that, as well as bread and pastries, Broekmans also makes its own range of handmade chocolates?

The atmosphere is friendly and familiar. You can easily pop in for your daily shopping, but just as easily for a tasty treat with your coffee or a treat to take home. It is precisely this combination of quality, personal service and craftsmanship that has made this bakery a familiar sight in North Limburg for many years.
