Grab a coffee and treat yourself to a fresh pastry—welcome to another heartwarming episode of Coffee in the Park featuring Siebe Koopman, the passionate owner of Dutch Delicious Bakery!
Siebe’s story is an incredible full-circle journey. Though born in Barrhead, Alberta, his family moved back to the Netherlands when he was just a toddler. Years later, during a family trip back to Canada to celebrate his parents' 25th anniversary, destiny stepped in when Siebe met his future wife.
Having known he wanted to work in the kitchen since the age of five, Siebe attended a rigorous four-year baker's college program in the Netherlands, which included hands-on training running a local bakery. Although his credentials didn't directly transfer when he immigrated back to Canada to pursue his relationship, his drive and talent certainly did. After gaining experience at local shops like Grandin Bakery, Siebe seized the opportunity to buy a struggling bakery, rebranding and revitalizing it into the thriving Dutch Delicious we know and love today.
Siebe shares some of the unique cultural differences between European and Canadian bakeries, from uniforms to the shifting industry dynamics—including how baking has historically been a male-dominated field in the Netherlands compared to the more diverse environment in Canada. He also dives into what makes Dutch Delicious so unique, expanding far beyond a bakery to include a full deli and specialty European market.
Inspired by his grandparents' entrepreneurial legacy, Siebe balances running a booming business with raising his eight children. He also shares his exciting future dream of building a fully realized Dutch village right here in Alberta, complete with a local butcher and farmers to create an authentic European farm-to-table experience.
Tune in to hear this inspiring story of entrepreneurship, family, and community! Be sure to visit Dutch Delicious at their location on St. Albert Trail or find them at the Spruce Grove markets to get your fill of incredible baked goods.
