All sorts of imported spices plus a huge number of canned and jarred sauces and toppings. If you're looking for some rare canned vegetable or a sauce you can't find anywhere else, I'd bet Toko Ramee has it. Try the samosa-looking things. They have a meat and a veggie filled. Both are amazing. [Review 12079 overall, 1862 of 2019.]

Shelves stay well stocked, produce looks fresh, and the layout makes it easy to grab a few things without weaving through chaos. The fresh orange juice machine is a highlight -- quick, clean, and producing genuinely good juice. The bakery section is even better: warm, buttery smells drifting through the store, and everything we tried tasted fresh and far above typical grocery‑store quality. The sushi case looked neat and fresh, and while we didn't try it this time, it's definitely something we'd pick up on a future visit. Overall, it's a reliable, pleasant stop for groceries, snacks, or a quick treat before heading back out into the city.

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

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!

The selection is incredible -- snacks, sauces, noodles, drinks, frozen items -- they somehow have everything. It's modern, fun to browse, and honestly dangerous if you go in hungry. Yes, it's definitely on the expensive side, so we don't shop there all the time, but I'm still very happy they're here. Places like this add real character to the city.

We…read moreordered a cortado and a matcha latte and then an oatmeal cranberry cookie to share (the samples up front enticed us). The one staff person was welcoming and helpful. It was fun sitting at the counter, my husband reading and me trying to catch up on Yelp. People watching was great from that large window--so many people were commuting to school and work by bicycle--it seemed like 5 times as many bikes as cars, which is brilliant. Later ax we walked around, we noticed other Stach cafes around, but this one seems the roomiest and most hospitable and the others most suited for take away.

This small little shop offers all kinds of baked goods, candy, chips, bottled beverages, coffee, tea, and even some ice cream (although the flavours weren't anything that I currently wanted). The staff here was super nice and we ended up picking up multiple drinks, snacks, and the reason I'm mostly writing this little review, the big fluffy cookie I couldn't walk away from at the counter. This chocolate chip cookie was soft and crunchy at the same time, you know, the way a perfect cookie is, and it was delicious. Overall, Stach Foods is a clutch spot to stop at for a baked good and a drink and if you like fruity soft serve flavours, you gotta give those a try too.

I don't want to eat stale bread products. In America, I'm not sure what we'd compare this to. It's got a lot to choose from: drinks, donuts, sandwiches, salads, candy, and more. It's a local convenience store, but definitely more of a healthier selection than say a 7-11. You're not buying a churro or anything like that, but you can definitely find a sandwich to-go that might tide you over until your real meal. I thought it was clean. The line was long and moved quickly and the cashiers were friendly. I wasn't a fan of the variety of the products overall, but hey, sometimes you gotta make due.

The name "to go" means you can buy things you need as you go. Do not expect to find a full assortment here. Just the basics, including a toothbrush, toilet paper and garbage bags. It's not meant to do your weekly shopping. You really can't buy everything you need AND the prices are much higher. If you need to do big shopping in the center (or if you want to spend less) go to the big Albert Heijn behind the palace on Dam square (Nieuwe Zijdsvoorburgwal). It's just 3 minutes walking. Having said this all, this Albert Heijn to go DOES have a sushi bar. Fresh sushi is being prepared in the middle of the busy center. Whereas I would never recommend to eat anywhere on Damrak (packed with low quality tourist traps) this sushibar is an exception. The sushi is really good and the price as well.

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!
