Licorice store?

[holdon216]

Was talking to someone today that stayed in Curacao about 10 years ago. They said there was a great little store that sold black licorice. Is it still there? If so is it close to the pier? Thanks, thought it might be a fun place to stop.

That store was called Drop Inn (drop means licorice in Dutch). Unfortunately the store has closed its store a while ago. Your best bet for licorice is in the supermarkets or closer to the pier, in the pharmacies.

Thanks. It just sounded like a nice little store.

Would the pharmacies have the real Dutch licorice?

[Isa65]

Yes, they would...

 

In the area of the pier there are 3 pharmacies (one in front of Plasa Bieu - Old Market, one next to the synanogue and one in mainstreet Otrobanda).

For a greater variety - when you go on a tour, ask the driver to stop anywhere you can buy DROP.

Dutch supermarket Albert Heijn has a great selection.
