In a world where food waste is a growing concern, apps like Too Good To Go have emerged as a beacon of hope, connecting consumers with food that otherwise would go to waste from local businesses at discounted prices. Recently, we decided to try our luck with a “big” Bijenkorf package from de Bijenkorf Patisserie through the Too Good To Go app, and our experience was both delightful and eye-opening.
Our purchase, priced at €7.66, promised a value of €22.99, a tempting offer that led us to uncover the treasures hidden in the app. What caught our attention was the fact that it was a patisserie shop, so we probably where going to get soemthing nice and sweet and so we did. We got a full chipolata cake adorned with marzipan, white chocolate, apricot, and orange.
Upon receiving our package, the aroma alone hinted at the deliciousness within. The chipolata cake, a masterpiece of flavors, tasted remarkably fresh. The combination of marzipan, white chocolate, apricot, and orange created a symphony of tastes that left us thoroughly satisfied.
It is a testament to the commitment of Patisserie de Bijenkorf to reduce food waste by offering their delectable creations at a discounted price through the Too Good To Go app.
While the cake was undoubtedly a delight, we couldn’t help but notice a minor discrepancy in the stated value. The app had promised a €22.99 value, but upon cross-referencing with the Patisserie de Bijenkorf website, we found the listed price to be €21.99. Although the difference of €1 may seem trivial, it marked a departure from our usual experiences with Too Good To Go, where we consistently received more value than expected.
Nevertheless, it’s essential to acknowledge the broader picture – Too Good To Go is a platform committed to minimizing food waste, and the app provides businesses with a means to reduce surplus while offering consumers a chance to enjoy quality products at discounted prices. Patisserie de Bijenkorf’s participation in this initiative is commendable, even if our particular purchase didn’t align precisely with the promised value.
In conclusion, our journey with Patisserie de Bijenkorf through the Too Good To Go app was a flavorsome adventure, highlighting the intersection of culinary delights and sustainability. The minor discrepancies in value were overshadowed by the positive impact of reducing food waste. As consumers, we can appreciate the efforts of businesses like Patisserie de Bijenkorf and Too Good To Go in creating a more sustainable and delicious world, one pastry at a time.
