It's a supermarket, but one of the better ones. They've a lot of convenient food that makes it easy…read moreif you're on vacation and want to cook your own meals. Food has a good quality.

This Albert Heijn on Hoornesplein is a bit of a hidden gem if you're walking or biking around…read moreKatwijk. From the street it looks a bit dated and easy to miss - definitely more geared toward locals on foot than drivers passing by. Parking can be tricky compared to the larger AH a couple kilometers away. But don't let the exterior fool you. Once you're inside, it's surprisingly spacious - especially if you're used to cramped Amsterdam supermarkets. The selection is solid for a neighborhood store, and it's conveniently located near Hoornes Passage if you're already in the area. Great place to run into on the way home from work to buy a bottle of wine or more, too! If you're driving and want easier access, the bigger Albert Heijn down the road might be more convenient. But for a quick shop on foot or by bike, this one does the job well. Just know it's tucked away on the corner - you might walk right past it if you're not looking!

Wow. This Albert Heijn is an XL grocery and huge. My friends who live in Leiden shop here…read moreregularly, and as an American, I was curious to see how it compares to stores in the US. You can shop one of two ways. Grab a handheld scanner when you walk in and use a self-checkout, or you can place items in your basket and go through the line the old fashioned way. Our friend used the scanner, but we weren't that adventurous and scanned at the register. No matter which method you use, they have employees to help. As far as groceries go, you can find everything you need here, from groceries to drinks to household items such as paper towels and toilet paper. Even if you buy meat and cheese at the farmer's market, you'll still need a supermarket for some items, and this one is the perfect choice. Albert Heijn has ready made sushi, a bakery, a deli, and so much more. They have ready-made salads and prepared foods in the deli, and I bought a Couscous Abrikoos meal. Since my friends were having fried food and I wanted to give my body something lighter and healthier, I microwaved it for dinner, and it was delicious. We returned to Albert Heijn on our last night in town to stock up on candy and other goodies. The store has a huge selection, and I was glad to not have to track down candy at the airport. If you have a car, parking is free in the garage. You take an escalator "ramp" to the store, and the carts "lock" into the escalator so they don't fall. The Dutch really have shopping figured out!

This is the best supermarket in Holland as far as I am concerned!!…read more It is modern and large! something you don't see so much in Holland, plus is has a large selection of international foods! something else you don't get in Holland that much either! I have never had to queue very long at the checkout either nothing but good shopping experiences. Holland has finally opened itself up to the modern shopping experience which caters for more people rather than just the ones who like to eat bread and cheese or meat a potato. Look at the opening times too, till 10 every night, how great is that! The negative thing I would say is, we have been there on a Saturday and couldn't park the car, but if you go on a week night there is plenty of space.
