All I wanted was some bubbly water and something sweet, and this place "hit" the spot.
This reminded me of an American Safeway supermarket. It wasn't as nice as a Wegman's or a Whole Foods, but definitely a few steps above C Town or Key Food (if you live in NYC, you know what I'm talking about).
The store was clean and laid out nicely. Plus their beer selection was enough to make me drool! I wish grocery stores in the States had this type of beer variety.
Anyway, the checkout lines were kind of long but they moved pretty quickly. For Americans, remember that in Europe most people carry their own shopping bags so if you're buying a lot of stuff, plan ahead and carry a bag with you. I would imagine you could buy a bag there, but for once in your life, stop hating the environment and carry a shopping bag already.
The checkout guy was very nice. I thought it was odd that all the checkout people were sitting in chairs. That just seems creepy to me...like flying a kite at night.
Also, I was staying at the Hilton and could walk to this place through the underground passage so I didn't even have to go outside or cross a busy street.
Anyway, if you need some food supplies, you should "hit" up this place! read more
