Such a fantastic Etos drugstore. This would be similar to a CVS or Walgreens in the USA, but…read morewithout prescriptions and dog food, groceries, etc...this is basically a place to go for vitamins, body health products, soap, etc... This is a large store near Leidseplein. I've shopped here for over 7 years, since it's near the Marriott and now not too far from my home. There are a lot of these Etos stores in the Netherlands, but they aren't all equal. This is very large and lots of space. Staff was friendly and there are two self-checkout kiosks. They had everything I Was looking for today and I even bought new slippers for the winter!

They are always available for any advice. Parking here is really difficult. Unless you walk or ride your bike it is quite a problem to stop.

What can one say about Etos? All I can think if is that it's bigger than the one on Sloterkade and…read moreopen Sunday 1-5pm.

Shop carefully. There is so much stuff here, literally. Body care, insect repellent, soap, hair…read moredye, shampoo, sunglasses, reading glasses and perfumes, colognes and powders to smell better with. The prices are quite good also. If you're looking for some kind of body care product they probably have it here so if you can't find what you're looking for elsewhere check this place out. It's right on Leidsestraat so while you're looking for it make sure you don't get run over by the tram like I almost did lol. Oh and did I say they also fill prescriptions? They also have a lot of over the counter medicines like ibuprofen, analgesics, bandages, allergy medicines and many other medicinal over the counter products.

I was only looking for conditioner and everything is soooo expensive…read more It's not organized The people are mostly pretty nice But the prices and the little variety of thing to chose from are just too unacceptable I would never go there again!

After striking out at Etos as it didnt havethe Vitamin D in the potency I needed, I walked a few…read moreblocks down and came to this pharmacy and yay! They had what I needed!!! The pharmacist who helped me out was super lovely and helpful. BTW, I noticed some of the other reviews for this place mentioned the long lines - I went on a Saturday afternoon around 3ish and there was no waiting at all. I got served pretty much straightaway, as was the only person in the shop, so maybe that the trick about when to come here? Yelp 184/ 2018

Although the wait can be a bit long (the number system and waiting chairs keep things orderly), and…read morethey're not open Saturdays, I give this pharmacy five stars for their locker system. You can phone in your birth control refill, or a doctor can send over a script, they will fill it within one business day usually and then send you a text when it's ready. You get a code to enter the building 24/7 and get your meds out of a locker. Super simple and convenient.

They have a variety of truffles to choose from and the staff is highly knowledgable to provide insights and guidance to shoppers.

Love this place!…read more Have a great selection of whatever it is you are looking for... magic, mary, they got it all ! The guy in there was really knowledgeable too! Definitely planning on returning here when I visit Amsterdam again :)

I needed some Vitamin D tablets and my hotel concierge suggested coming to this shop. However, they…read moredidnt have this vitamin in the potency I needed so didnt end up purchasing anything. I also found the service a bit rude here, but that might be because the girl at the counter was very young. I took a quick squizz around and it seemed to be geared more towards beauty supplies - I guess if you were from the US, this shop would be like "Ulta Beauty store" rather than "Sally's Beauty Supply"?

Kruidvat provides access to beauty supplies, health and wellness, a small selection of over the counter medicines, cleaning products and other miscellaneous items.

If your traveling then Kruidvat is where you would like to stop in to pick up your toiletry/hygiene, health or beauty supplies.
