School Bakery and Café
70 Fraser Ave.
(416) 588-0005
National intel: Over 200 Dutch soccer fans will gather at School Bakery to watch their beloved underachieving team play. David Vanderpoel, a marketing manager who organized the party at School, says he will be decidedly absent from his desk that day. He'll be dressed head-to-toe in orange, the Dutch team colour, and his golden-doodle will be wearing an orange jumper. 'Think of us as an orange army,' he says. The bright colours belie silent desperation. 'We are always one of the favoured teams. We are always full of hope. And then there is grief when we lose in the semifinal. It's a wonderful, long, suffering experience.'
The pitch: School Bakery owner Brad Moore will be on hand to keep an eye on his guests. "I'm going to try and make sure no one paints the building orange."
The grub: Poffertjes (tiny inflated pancakes) and kroket (fried mincemeat and gravy) and plenty of Grolsch and Heineken will likely ease the sorrow.
