Nice Dutch grocery store, very bright and well layed out.. Located all throughout the city, they offer great prices on a wide variety of goods. Some locations offer fresh made foods. Go to the bakery section and try some of the great fresh baked goods. The chocolate croissant is delicious, and can you believe you can get 4 donuts for EUR0.50! They now offer self check out lanes to save time. Note you wil need to scan your receipt to leave. Tip: Bring your bottles back here to get a credit for recycling. read more

Albert Heijn - Groceries - Grocery Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Love shopping at local grocery stores. Albert Heijn is the largest supermarket chain in The Netherlands. It was founded in 1887 when Albert Heijn bought a grocery story from his father Jan. Great to pick up a snack or some farm fresh cheese. read more

There's a reel I've recently seen about travel that says "I don't go to museums. I go to grocery stores". Walking into a local grocery store is like getting a glimpse into another culture. Albert Heijn is a chain, but this location is right behind the W Hotel. It's a great grocery store. There is fresh produce and food as well as packaged goods and refrigerated drinks. It's fun to try grocery items that you wouldn't normally see in your own country. They also had some local brews in the refrigerated section that I grabbed. Super clean and a worthwhile stop in the city. read more

This is right in the city center and one of the bigger locations that I went to. I am a fan of this chain, great variety of products and produce including ready to eat food which were good quality. read more

This is one of the largest Albert Heijn stores in the city centre, it's located on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, it's in a good location within the city, a short walk away from Dam Square and the Magna Plaza Shopping Centre, it's also opposite a tram stop which is handy. Albert Heijn is just that one brand you can't escape while in The Netherlands, the supermarket chain has almost a monopoly, I'm not a big fan of this model as a lack of competition can lead to higher prices. The prices at this location were fine but there isn't much else to compare it to fairly. The store had many staff members, including on the shop floor to assist customers. I had to ask an employee to help me find the cow's milk using the translation app on my phone, as I do not speak Dutch. The staff were friendly and helped walk me to the area of the store where the milk was located. The produce section and cheese counters were particularly good. The self-checkout area required a receipt to exit, you could choose from a short or long receipt to save paper, but this seems common at most AH locations. Don't worry if you're a tourist, there is an English language button on the self-checkouts to make it easier to use. 4* - One of the better Albert Heijn locations in the city. read more

Albert Heijn - Grocery Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

A full sized supermarket! I always think it's funny how AH brands itself as the local "supermarket" when majority of the chains are rather crammed and small. Yet when I walked in, I truly feel like I'm inside a supermarket. You are pretty much on your own once inside. There are staff members working behind the bakery/deli counters but you need to navigate the place yourself. It's pretty straightforward: fruits/bakery on your right upon entering, then cheese and sushi, on your left is your day to day grocery need. You can choose to self check out (pay with card) or have a cashier ring you up (pay with cash or card). Get a croissant here! It's hot, fresh, and crispy! And only cost you 40 cents! Amazing. read more

Albert Heijn is a supermarket chain in the Netherlands. This particular location came in very handy for me several times in my visits to Amsterdam. It is located right in the center of the city near Damrak. If you want to save a lot of money on food and drinks, this is the place to go. You can stock up on everything (including alcohol) and just bring it back to your hotel. They even have a buffet area of hot food that you can take to go. read more

An enormous Albert Heijn for being in the middle of Amsterdam. If you weren't able to make it to a real cheese shop for some crazy reason you can get at least some of your needs met here with the great cheese counter they have. read more

Amazing place. 1) If you want affordable food, this is the best way place to get it. I usually get Indonesian and Indian food in the frozen section. 2) This is the best place to get souvenirs if you are here as a tourist. I will recommend getting stroopwafel, butter cookies, and almond cookies (gevulde koeken). And some gouda cheese. 3) Very reasonable and well priced spot in Amsterdam. Has everything you want and need. read more

After wandering around Centrum for quite awhile in search of a place to buy snacks for our train ride, we finally came across a grocery store, this Albert Heijn, located across the street from the palace. In comparison to the other AH location we visited, in Westerpark, this one was huge! Maybe it's the American in me, but I love big, open grocery stores, because it feels like my selection is limitless. Some things of note about this place: -Lots of vegetarian faux meat - in fact, AH has its own brand - pretty cool -No "regular" cucumbers to be found, but we did come across mini ones -About 15 different varieties of stroopwafels on sale - unfortunately, none vegan -Bottles of my favourite Belgian beers, which I can't easily find in Berlin, like Duvel and Stella -Packaged varieties of Sabra hummus, aka the best hummus EVER Granted, many of these things are luxuries for me, simply because you won't find them in German grocery stores. But I liked that the selection was so wide. Additionally, the store is easy to get around in, even though the layout is weird. One thing of note is that apparently this chain of stores doesn't take or give penny change - instead, it's rounded up or down. So when my total came to 8,32, I only had to pay 8,30. This is interesting - something I've never encountered before. read more

This place is crazy after people get off of work since grocery stores close early and Sundays they are not open at all. I saw a line of people and looked and there were Dutch men recycling their plastics for money. After hearing a going "dutch" joke, I thought this was pretty funny. Plenty of souvenirs here including mini-stroopwafels (even they do have them at Trader Joe's but diff brand), cheap but good wine (if your luggage is not heavy yet), Wilhemina mints, etc. They have a good selection of Haribo too! Bring your own shopping bag. read more

I am so glad this is here. Aside from enabling my hagelslag and Chocomel pilgrimage - This branch of Albert Heijn is useful for picking up things you might find you need during your visit to Amsterdam. Friendly service. read more

Yes! Favorite low budget super market! Always make a stop by to get snacks before a trip somewhere! Favorite thing to buy is the fresh squeezed juices for a pint for only 3 euros! What a bargain! Plastic bags are 25 cents more though. read more

Albert Heijn - Only 3 euros of deliciousness - Grocery Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

After my veggie and fiber depleted weeks traveling through Switzerland, Austria and Germany, I was trilled to get to Amsterdam. They actually take their fruits and veggies seriously here!! I stumbled upon Albert "Hygiene" as we affectionately called it. We had been thoroughly scarred by the steep meal prices in this city, so we decided to start getting our breakfasts at this supermarket chain instead of spending 20 euros at a breakfast place. It was the right choice. I got this salad no less than 3 separate times, it was a quinoa salad, with what seemed to be broccoli slaw, edamame, almonds, pistachios and a sesame dressing. It was too delicious for words and under 3 euro. We also got a cheese pastry, a cinnamon and nut pastry, yogurt and fresh squeezed juice. All were fabulous and i recommend shopping here for all you budget conscious travelers! read more

Albert Heijn - Sesame quinoa salad - Grocery Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

We decided to pick up a few items before heading back to our hotel. While browsing the aisles I saw some local candies and pastries and got some sweets as souvenirs for family back in the US. The triple chocolate croissant was delicious (comes in handy if you have the munchies) and I recommend getting a few of them since one was not enough. Bookmarking this for my future trips to Amsterdam read more

Great supermarket to use if you are staying in Amsterdam and need to pick up lunch items and drink. This is the largest of the Albert Heijn stores we visited on our recent break. We dived in late on a Sunday evening to escape the rain and found a spacious if a little oddly laid out store with a great range of food and drink. There is also a gall and gall branch of the off licence chain in the basement - check their offers because you can get some great bargains on spirits. Perfect for picking up Dutch cheeses and cold meats, crackers and crisps, fruit and bread. They do their own brand on lots of items - seemed to be priced reasonably - I guess this is their Tesco equivalent....while I am more of a Waitrose man. Fine though for grabbing top off stuff in you are staying in the area. read more

Albert Heijn - Grocery Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

It's the biggest grocery in the center of downtown. For a foreigner - aka tourist - there are lost of generic candies and treats that you can pick up without paying corner store or souvenir store prices. My favorites are the albert heijn brand chocolate hazelnut candies - mmmm! Hubby loves the speculous - crunchy And other random chocolates or the baby rice cakes. We are a pretty simply folk. Besides that there is some amazing looking meats and cheeses and i really wish i had a kitchen here to try out all the yummies in there. The staff is friendly enough. No english, which is fine, the total was on the screen! read more

I love this supermarket chain. Or maybe I am just a country bumpkin when it comes to visiting other European countries and see how advanced their supermarkets are in terms of their stocks compared to the sad thing that we have back home in Copenhagen. Ok, to be fair, supermarket selection in Copenhagen is getting better, but European supermarkets are still much better and Albert Heijn, the standard chain in NL definitely beats CPH supermarkets hands down. They have so much varied stuff, gluten-free, lactose free, vegan stuff, vegetarian stuff, anything, you name it. Stuff suitable for people with special needs (now that sounds a bit wrong) and last but not least, food and spices from my hometown Indonesia. This supermarket is large and airy and staffed with friendly people that pointed me out where I would find my stuff. I'm definitely a fan. read more

I know reviewing an Albert Heijn may seem like writing about a specific Starbucks or McDonald's location but apparently this spot next to Dam Square is considered an Albert Heijn "XL" and therefore warrants its own write up - kind of reminds me of Whole Foods from back home in the US, but far cheaper! Supermarket sushi is usually frowned upon but I have to say that the little Sushi Daily counter in the front has been my most reliably decent sushi option since moving to town - the sushi chefs are constantly churning out fresh rolls all day! They're very basic (you won't find many special rolls here) and It's not "cheap" by any means, but neither is trying other take out sushi places in town and being disappointed consistently. So for 10-20€, a mixed platter of maki/nigiri made with quality fish hits the spot just fine - try it! Aside from the sushi, this place has a huge array of grab and go options (sandwiches and salads - if you're just visiting, seriously come here for lunch on the go, your vacation time is precious and a sit down lunch in Amsterdam is not always worth it!), smoothies, fruit I've never seen in any other AH (gooseberries!), a yogurt/granola bar, cooked meat dishes (rotisserie chicken and ribs!), a ton of fresh flower bouquets, and Amsterdam gifts you can bring home for friends and fam that are less touristy than the souvenir shops in town. Self checkout kiosks make this an even speedier shopping trip. read more

Staying in an Apartment in Amsterdam meant I did a lot of shopping at Albert Heijn.. I absolutely love the selection of meats and cheeses, Stroopwaffles, and pastries... Don't limit yourself to the fried greasy stoner food in Amsterdam, go local!!!! read more

I think this is one of the larger ones because when you enter I can see that the vegetable and fruit selection is broader selection than the others. This AH has a larger cheese, bread and freezer/dairy section also than most the others. Their snacks like cookies, chips and chocolate selection also has a broader selection to choose from. This AH can even have room for a wine section downstairs. Pretty much this is like all the other AH but has a bigger selection. The prices like all the others can't be beat. I went in to buy a box of chocolate 4 Euros cheaper than the tourist shop down the street. read more

I visited Amsterdam for a few days during a Europe trip, and a friend recommended I visit here to pick up a quick lunch or some snacks, and I'm so glad I did! Situated basically in the city center, it's busy, but wasn't too crowded when I went, and there were a variety of choices like any grocery store. Definitely buy some stroopwaffles for friends while you're there! read more

Great little grocery store in a central location. You can get anything you may need here and save a ton of money as compared to getting food, drinks, or anything else. For example, a big bottle of water may cost you 3-4 euro in Dam Square but about .60 at Albert Heijn. The only bad side is that a lot of people hang out in the front and it's kinda grimey, especially if it's raining or wet out. read more

Really nice grocery store. We had a feast in our hostel thanks to their impressive selection of cheeses, meats and beers.

Hands down the most inexpensive grocery store chain in Amsterdam. Different locations will have different selections, but all-in-all, the prices and variety are excellent. Only downside is they do not take credit cards, but I believe this is why they can keep their prices so low. As someone from the US, it was very refreshing to pay .90 Euro for a 6-pack of eggs, or .89 Euro for a pack of shredded gouda cheese. My biggest "splurge" was 3.59 Euro on a take home and bake pizza with fresh parma ham, cheese and herbs. read more

I would give this 4 stars. It's a great supermarket, but people overlook good ratings and this bit of info is important. Like I said, it's a really nice supermarket, but they did not accept Visa, MasterCard, or Amex. Maybe it was just the one by us. Good think I had euros on me. read more

I normally don't write reviews for supermarkets, of all places, but this supermarket is amaaaaaaaazing! It's like going to Whole Foods, without the superinflated prices! I love fresh fruit that's already cut, but the cut fruit in US supermarkets are always stinky and rotting, and they still charge like $50 for it. Over here, you can buy literally any fresh cut fruit for less than $2, and it's super FRESH. They even have coconut slices, AND pomegranate seeds that you can pop in your mouth and savor, for less than $2!!! Someone poor guy probably got carpel tunnel from deseeding all those promegranates; thank you Albert Heijn supermarket. Oh, and if they sold that at Whole Foods, I bet you anything it would cost like $20. Also, for candy and chocolate lovers, this market has aisles of Belgian and Dutch chocolates that is dirt cheap, because amazing chocolate is the norm here, unlike in America. These chocolates will blow any chocolate in the US clear out of the water. Italian nougat for a couple bucks? Shut the front door!! This place also has fancy juices that cost next to nothing, the mango with mint juice is BOMB. Try buying something like that in Los Angeles, and you'll pay like $15. BULLCROCKERY. And that's only the fruit and juice section. PLEASE don't even get me started on the candy, cheeses, and meats, pleeeease. read more
