Was looking for a grocery store near my hotel. I've been to an Alibert Heijn in Amsterdam so…read morefamiliar with what to expect. Reasonable pricing. Popped in here about an hour before closing. The customers that were there were on a mission to get in and out so a more frenetic atmosphere than normal. It's an XL so it's larger. While the store itself is possibly larger, it didn't seem like they stocked more items than a regular AH. Couldn't find a dedicated gluten free section. The guy sweeping up in the bakery showed me where to find the gluten free bread. Grabbed some yogurt, salami, and chips for tomorrow's picnic at the beach.

I almost fell out when I saw that they had a long aisle of gluten-free foods. This market in Den Haag (De Hague) is my favorite market in the Netherlands. I was so happy to see a market that finally had a wider selection of Gluten free items. Most of the time when I go to the market the selection is very limited. I have been to several health food stores in the Netherlands and this store and location impressed me the most! They have stores located all over the Netherlands but I would say this is far most the best one in Den Haag. I think Ekoplaza in Den Haag is much more exceptional than the other locations in the Netherlands.They even promote the use of reusable grocery bags, which impressed me because it's a good environmental choice. I wish more stores would try this smart recycling method. You will also find that most of the regular super markets such as Albert Heijn, also sell a few Gluten-free items. However, my first choice would be to stop by Eko Plaza, plus the selection is much wider in Den Haag.

Additionally, coffee used to be good vie for money but now that have raised the prices so for an extra 40 cents you can get a much better quality coffee in any of the other cafe businesses in the station.

Albert Heijn is a must if you need to get your grocery shopping done while in the Netherlands…read more While there are other local and large chains, they do not seem to be as readily available compared to Albert Heijn. The stores themselves are laid out like most other grocery chains, easy to understand, clear English, pricing very fair, lots of room, and helpful employees. Every time I visited a Albert Heijn, I never had a hard time locating what I needed, albeit a tad different in a foreign country, but just as good or sometimes even better. They do carry organic, but it seems to be not as readily labeled, so I think its more of a US ordeal to boast about it where in the Netherlands, its more of a regular option, which is great! All and all, loved the chain and visited it frequently while traveling around the Netherlands.
