Having been to other numerous locations all over Holland I believe it. I especially like the prepared food section in the front, when you enter. There is a big selection of items. They usually have a few items on special and are clearly marked. My favorite item to buy was a pasta carbonara. Ate that almost everyday. Also, they do take credit cards. My favorite market chain in Holland for sure. Recommended.

LET'S TAKE A LONG WALK…read more Wow, just realized I've shopping here for over 15 years already. How time flies! For me food has always been my #1 luxury expense. So while most students were spending their limited resources on beer and drinking binges, I went shopping at Kings. About a year ago they did a complete renovation and some shop designers feng shuid the place, making shopping here even more pleasurable. Their product range is so tempting I tell myself to not go crazy, just get what you need and get out...fast! Let me take you along a stroll through this luxury grocery store and the internal dialogue going on...... Oew Wijs & Zonen Java mocha coffee..."You hardly drink coffee, don't need coffee". Some of their Indian chai blend tea would be nice though.... Sweet, Gavottes Crepe Dantelle...."No, don't go there!" Walkers short bread cookies??...."You know what will happen, you're gonna eat them all in 1 go till you're nauseous" Kings' crown jewel # 109 Grisbi Lemon cream cookies then?? "Fine, just 1 package though and don't finish them all that same night!" Soup from the Soep Fabriek is always good to have as an emergency meal. Get some pure tomato soup ala Johannes van Dam. That Gastoria rouille will be perfect to liven up the bisque soup I got at Vis op Zuid. Kind of bland without it.... Don't even look at the lemon merengue pie or the lemon cakes at the bakery. "Keep walking, just get the necessities!" Orville Redenbachers popcorn is harmless, right? "Not if you put Ker' Amel butter salted caramel on there! Just get some plain Pur Natur bio yoghurt...and a few bags of scampi fries :) " Hey, what's that? Foie gras of the sea? Haven't seen it before, got to try it! Just recently avocado oil seems to have become the newest fad, but I have been using it for years already. Know why? Because Kings has been selling it for years! Oh, that reminds me need a new bottle of Les Huileries de la Croix Verte pistachio oil!!! Those fish cakes look tempting but are crazy expensive at €4,50 for just 2! I think I'm gonna whip some crab cakes up myself. I am gonna get me a few Lincolnshire sausages though. Ok, enough! Go to the cash register and get the f**** out of there! What's that smell? How did that bag of Java Mocha coffee get in my basket? The bill....€37 and all I got was some yoghurt, coffee and snacks and I end up still having to go to the Appie for my necessities :( To sum things up: Kings is seriously detrimental for your bank account...and waste line but good for the soul. It's more than just an expat store, it's a foodie's shopper paradise

Kingsalmarkt is a really nice place for grocery shopping in Amstelveen. They have all kinds of…read moreluxury brands and import brands. I headed here with some specific stuff in my and even though I did not find it I left this place with lots of goodies and if I had followed my stomach's advise, and not my wallet's, I would have left with much more. If you live in Amsterdam you probably would not go to this place all the time, so it is handy to come with money and maybe a car because you will probably buy lot's of stuff here. It is nearly impossible to walk through this store without spending to much money on delicious stuff (also because stuff here is pretty expensive). Even though it is a pricey store I will definitely be back for some things that are not available at my nearest Albert Heijn. Nice extra; they had Halloween themed candies! Trick or treat! Nice!

Albert Heijn is just one of those brands you can't escape in The Netherlands, so I wasn't surprised…read moreto see them here in the country's largest Airport, Amsterdam Schiphol, the store is fairly small as an "AH To Go" location, but still has a decent section of essentials including bottled snacks, drinks and a coffee machine. It's located before security, meaning you don't need a boarding pass to enter here, and it can be particularly useful if you're looking to grab a drink or snack after departing your flight before commencing your way into the city. I was unable to find one of the items that I came into the store from, they only had the small kid's sized cartons of milk compared to the larger size, which was frustrating. Prices did seem a little higher than other Albert Heijn locations in the city, probably down to it being an Airport location. The self-service checkouts were easy to use and had an English option, I didn't notice a staffed checkout or any staff members around the store. 3* - The store is fairly modern, the selection is OK, and is useful if you want to grab a quick drink after your flight, if you are able to wait until you get into the city you'll probably find a better selection with lower prices at another Albert Heijn or similar store.

I've always had friendly service here too, plus they take credit cards, which still seems rare in The Netherlands. (They do charge a small fee I think though, for a credit card, like a quarter? Debit/pin cards are free) This store is huuuge too, with a liquor store and drug store on the first floor. This is definitely the biggest Dirk I've seen. It gets pretty busy here, so be prepared for an occasional restocking cart in the aisles and a lot of other shopping carts, but that's probably because it's way cheaper than the nearby Albert Heijn.

Woot! I am profoundly grateful spotted this AH store at the airport as it's become my go-to place…read moreto do food shopping when I fly back to Amsterdam and this way, at least I have some basic essentials in my fridge until I can get to do a full-on grocery shop. I see a lot of folks especially crowd around their Sushi area, cause you can see the chefs making it fresh. But for me, I head to the fruit, milk, bread, cheese & meat section, so have something to eat at home. There's enough self-service and manned counters so checkout is quick enough. Absolutely recommend! PS - there's also x2 Albert Heijn to-go stores at Schiphol Airport, but this store is the full-on Grocery and not the grab & go kind. Yelp 126/ 2019

I am a huge, huge fan of Marqt and was SO happy when they opened near my house. This is a small one…read morebut they have many things I love, including a sizeable cheese section (always with samples), lots of Bbrood brand bread, some nice wines and quite a few heat and serve options (dinner entrees, soups, etc). I have discovered a few new products thanks to their samples that are always out. Yay for samples. On the negative side, as already mentioned the store is small but does a lot of business. They often only have one register open so you can stand in line for a little bit. And now a story to illustrate my love for Marqt: a few weeks ago I had a very bad experience at the register when the price that was ringing up for one of my items was incorrect (or so I thought). The checkout girl did not try to solve it and I left fuming mad and without the item in question. I had to go to the Albert Heijn down the street to get it which was punishment enough if you've ever been to that store. And on top of that I threatened to boycott the store (which unfortunately lasted about five days before I went into withdrawal, couldn't stay away longer!). Inspired by an Australian friend who writes email complaints and praises to businesses here in town, and channeling my former American self who used to love to do this, I sent them an email and told them what happened. For two weeks I got no response which made me even more mad - but then someone from the store called and apologized and tried to make things right. And that's another reason I love Marqt, because I feel they try to do the right thing. For me this is excellent customer service - especially when I saw last night that the price that was ringing up was indeed correct (oops oops oops, must pay more attention to per kilo versus per 500 grams). The store must have realized I had read the price incorrectly and they still went out of their way to make me feel better about how I was treated (even if the cashier was right in insisting on the price that was ringing up). Anyways, if any of you are doubters, yes it can be more expensive than other stores (though not always), but the food quality is good and so are the people apparently, which makes for a very happy me :)

A deliciously fresh bottle of juice for under 3 euros! You put your bottle under the spout, push the button, and watch as your fresh juice is squeezed into your bottle. The juice is fantastic and you can taste the freshness of it. The oranges are just sweet enough and it's so wonderful to know it's all juice with no additives. The bottle is about 6 oz., but you can also purchase a larger bottle (can't remember the cost). There's no way you can get a bottle of fresh OJ in the states for this little bit of money! The food they carry seems to be pretty much on the healthy side. They have ready made meals you can get for a quick dinner. There are also the regular grocery items for those looking for more. Lots of different ready made salads, a meat market, fresh veggies, a fish/seafood section, and a bakery are also here. Their offerings are extensive and it's a great place to pop in for a quick meal or snack item. I got a container of soup and a margarita focaccia at the bakery that our nice hotel clerk reheated for me. Great for a quick and inexpensive meal! Sorry, no pictures!

It is in an ideal location for tourists looking to grab a cold drink or stock up on essentials, while in the city, especially due to its location being very close to public transport links, and museums. It is located in a basement but you can get a decent mobile phone signal inside, even after heading down the escalator. For tourists, Albert Heijin is the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, it's pretty much a brand you can't hide from and it seems they have stores everywhere you look with almost 1000 stores in the Netherlands. Unlike some AH stores, they do accept foreign Mastercard and Visa cards here, which seems to have changed in the past couple of years, as some older reviewers did state this wasn't possible. This specific location is pretty large and carries two main benefits over the AH To Go stores dotted around the city: - Product Selection (Larger store, so has many more products including the freshly squeezed orange machine, which was turned on and functioning) - Price (Reasonably cheaper compared to AH To Go stores, meaning you can save some money here compared to their stores nearby, in general I noticed prices were slightly more than back home, but prices were good compared to other stores I visited in the Netherlands) Most of the checkouts here are self-service, but there are a couple of manned checkouts. The self-checkouts were reasonably easy to use, with an English language option, and a staff member on hand to help. I did experience an issue where I required a staff member's approval for my product, I did only purchase a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice, so I'm not sure if they offer random checks or if it was some sort of verification. You will also need to save your receipt, or request a short barcode to leave the store, so make sure to take it with you! 4*
