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.

You must try it, if you have Celiac or you have been trying to make an effort to take a break on the gluten. It's literally the best! No bakery or pastry shop that i have ever been to can top this one. Go to the frozen section and you will find a medium size freezer separate from the rest of freezers, it is near the seafood. It is exclusive, only for gluten-free breads,pastries, and pizza dough. Open it and grab 2 apple pies because you will wish you would have bought 2 instead of 1 and also buy 1 gluten free pizza dough, it's better than the one at Alberjein that taste awful. Also once you get home with it, then put it in your oven or microwave to defrost. It taste amazing, it will melt in your mouth. Also keep in mind there are other gluten-free products spread through out the store, but the apple pie is so far the best. Enjoy!

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!

This is a large Albert Heijn location in Amsterdam, located on Van Baerlestraat in the Museumplein…read moredistrict. 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*

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.

My favorite market chain in Holland for sure. Recommended.

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

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!

When in…read moreAmsterdam we didn't wanna spend tons of money on the food so we ended up going to Lidl and grabbing some cereal, bread, mayo, soda, milk, and donuts. The products are so different there- definitely not what we are used to here in America. They had the mayonnaise in a tube! A tube! It was so shocking to see it like that. We also had milk but it didn't taste like milk it was so sour and it was thick- so when we tried pouring it- it was all lumpy and a yogurt consistency as it poured out. As far as the ham and cheese it was pretty good and the bread was a baguette which was tasty. The soda was really good and was in a strange shaped bottle- everything was so strange looking. The best thing about this grocery store was the pastries and donuts- they were like 50 cents each and they were bakery fresh items that tasted like they were made on site. I don't know how the store looked but only know about the products and the taste of them due to my sister and her bf going to the store to get the food- but from what they were saying- they said the store was huge! And they had a bunch of sales. They said they paid $23.00 and brought back about 6 bags of food to the hotel. If we were to have 6 bags of groceries here- I'm sure it would've been more than $23. I heard Lidl is coming to Philly soon- which is great news- so I'm hoping they have the same great prices and the same donuts and pastries for cheap that taste so yummy.
