Curaçao's bakeries blend Dutch baking with Caribbean flavours: crusty bread rolls and Gouda alongside sweet "pan dushi," coconut treats and the celebration cake known as bolo.
Neighbourhood bakeries open early with fresh rolls perfect with a slice of cheese, while sweet counters tempt with pastries, tarts and tropical-fruit confections.
Look for bolo pretu, a dense, boozy black cake served at festivities
Pair anything with a strong local coffee. Several bakeries and the café downstairs make an easy morning stop.
