NI souvenirs allow the discount based on international destinations based on your boarding pass. I could tell the young lady behind the counter was getting upset because the wifi wasn't working fast enough to show proof of getting the duty-free discount. This was the reason behind the 3 star rating.

Throughout many shops and even in this one, there are many ceramics look like Delft blue, but they are not. They are some cheap imitations. The highlight of this souvenir shop were real Delft blue ceramics here. We've been to Delft and purchased a small dish there, but we were fortunate enough to find it here so that we didn't have to make another special trip back to Delft. Now, there are some more affordable souvenirs like any other stores in the area. Otherwise they won't make too much money off of the tourists. However, they have some nice things including very nice wooden clogs if you are into them. It's just that it wasn't my thing.

Lots of clogs to choose from traditional wooden clogs to modern clog footwear that is relevant and may be worn daily. Other souvenirs are available as well. Great for American travelers, as they accept American Express.

I've never been more at peace than sat in that window. excellent value for money and we will be visiting the city again purely to visit here.

The items all appeared good quality and there was a huge variety (not just the usual pair of clogs). I ended up purchasing several items, including some tasty chocolate for myself. The cashier was super nice and when she found out my friend was from Norway she became very chatty and legitimately interested in what we were doing on vacation. I recommend stopping here and picking up some gifts for your family and friends!

You are all by yourself, wandering the streets, somewhat lost... You turn a corner when all of a sudden sparkling window lights brighten your view. Intrigued by the four meter wide window display, your eyes slowly glide onto the scene behind the glass, until you hit the entrance. A smart looking chap with a curly mustache stands outside the door opening, lights a cigarette and says: "Welcome to GROOS!" You stumble in and realise you have arrived in what seems to be a candy store for grown-ups. From limited edition prints, stunningly appliqued cushions, rainbow-coloured trousers, cups and saucers with hand-painted characters, quirky books, custom furniture and birdhouse lamps, every corner of the shop is filled with something of interest. Everything is for sale and every item has its own story to tell. Shop-owners Tjeerd and Joost are always on hand to tell you where each item comes from and what on earth the store's name means. Groos: an old Rotterdam slang word meaning proud. And that makes perfect sense, because this newly opened concept store is filled with items designed exclusively by designers from Rotterdam. And there's no crap being offered here, I can tell you. All you can see here is rather special and lovingly made. GROOS takes 'retail is detail' to an awesome new level. And there's more! GROOS uses its store for Sunday afternoon events, where you can watch, taste, listen and enjoy even more of the city's coolest stuff.

Even with Corona times, they can go in with a few more restrictions. Also huge landing gear and a powerplant (engine) in the terminal. Even though this is outside security, it's worth stopping in. They have affordable model airplanes, key chains, clothing, all sorts of stuff. I actually shop here when I'm not traveling to get my KLM gear. I love their magnets and key chains - and have even purchased the "Orange Spirit" KLM 777 model here since that is what I flew over here on. They are steps from the train terminal and to the outside bus/taxi connections. I've talked to the associates here at length and they are very fun!

The shop is really small and tight (there is an upstairs too) so don't go walking around with your backpack on. There is also a section with marked down prices. My wife found a very reasonable Rooster and Chicken salt and pepper set (she loves her chickens, as long as they aren't real- LOL). This is located in the Munt Tower right by the Flower Market, therefore you can shop both in a short period of time. The clerks were efficient and very helpful, taking care to wrap your purchase for safe journey. A definite stop for anyone who loves the classic Delft pottery and can't get to Delft itself.
