See what’s baking at Daan’s

Writer: Hedda Mittner.

The Gonggrijp family – Just, Joke and their son, Daan – have already made a huge contribution to the culinary scene in Hermanus with Dutchies, their iconic restaurant on Grotto Beach, followed by the popular Summer Lounge and, more recently, Ficks Wine & Pinchos Bar located at the historic Fick’s Pool on Marine Drive. Who knew they had another ace up their sleeve?

Always on the look-out for new opportunities, their latest innovation is an artisan bakery in the CBD called Daan’s Bakery. A joint venture between Daan and Talent Musatyira, aka ‘Talent the Baker’, this lovely little shop in Dirkie Uys Street is where they celebrated their official opening last week. The pretty little garden at the back was bursting with friends and clients who had popped in to wish them well and sample their offering.

Carol Barnard, Megan Dryburgh and Anne Parke enjoyed sampling the delicious artisan breads.
