Welcome to Holland's Best!

With great pleasure we welcome you to the #1 Online Store for Dutch and Indonesian Groceries, Delft Blue China and Netherlands Giftware.

Please note:

Due to the high volume of online orders we receive during the holiday season, we cannot accept orders with Bay Area shipping addresses at the moment.

If you are from the Bay Area, we kindly request you to come by to our store to buy your items.

Our apologies for this inconvenience.

Holland’s Best, also known as Holland Pastry & Gift Shop, is located in San Jose, California. We have been serving our Dutch and Indonesian customers since 1949. The comments and suggestions from our customers have helped us to identify areas where improvements could be made in our service. We send our Dutch products to you all over North America!

The online catalog is our way to acquaint or reacquaint you with Dutch Groceries & Gifts and to give you easy access to our store from the comfort of your home. It is easy to make your order online by simply using the full shopping cart capabilities. We trust Holland’s Best online catalog fills all your product needs. If you are looking for something we do not list, feel free to ask us about it.

Many of the products on the packages use the metric system while Holland’s Best for your convenience uses the imperial system. To assist you we have included a Conversion Table for anyone not familiar with European weights and measures. The conversion forced us to round numbers off to the nearest half of an ounce, so the weights are approximate.

Please visit Holland’s Best if your travels take you to San Jose, California! Remember to bring your ice box or cooler in case you would like to buy some cheese, fish or other refrigerated or frozen items.

Sincerely,
Klaas Mensonides
