Rotterdam's bakery scene runs from long-fermentation sourdough to Dutch-French laminated pastry, much of it clustered along Nieuwe Binnenweg and the Meent. Jordy's Bakery on Nieuwe Binnenweg and Le Petitjean nearby push the pastry side, while Jan Bussing on Van Vollenhovenstraat has baked in the city since 1899. Das Brot on Pannekoekstraat ferments its breads for up to three days, and Bakkit in Noord is the source of the cream-filled Rotterdamse rol.
