I think this is the first time that I've ever seen a full grocery store in the airport! Granted,…read moreit's not a complete grocery store- they don't have the deepest selection of things, but they do have everything that a regular supermarket would have. Who would need to buy paper towels at the airport? They have an impressive frozen food section, considering it's at the airport. I was pleased that the prices here are quite reasonable, and they do sell pre-made food and cold beverages that certainly beat going to the restaurants inside the airport. They had a variety of sandwiches, wraps and canned sodas. However, you can't take many of the things with you through security. I guess the more mundane items are for the people who are arriving, and not departing? The service was friendly, and they run a good market with clean aisles, and a good selection of things that travelers need, such as candy, snacks and toiletries. They seem to skew the inventory towards dry goods. I don't know who thought up the idea to put a grocery store at the airport, but I think it's a great idea!

Yet another fine spot to shop in 24/7 manner in greater Helsinki area. This fully equipped grocery…read morestore at the Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport is a nice place to buy food, beverages and snacks (some limited household materials are also available) on your way out to Finland or heading on board your flight. It's very easy to locate at the terminal 2, side by side to the arrival hall B2. It is accessible to everyone, being the last resort to do shopping in the area. The shop is clean, tidy and spacious and most importantly of all; open all the time! And of course the staff is very friendly and multilingual.

I can't recall a bad experience although last Monday morning on April 12 I went shopping at Prisma and I was very disappointed and dissatisfied with the service. A shop assistant at the Information desk who then moved to the upstairs cashiers was lacking the professionalism , the kindness and the patience any customer deserves. She was rude and abrupt on both situations making me feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately she didn't wear a shop badge but she did wear a short poney tale on the top of her head.

Love LIDL stores. This one did not disapoint me. Came out with 46 Euros worth of food and was so…read morehappy. They had a good selection of prepacked chicken, meat, porkchops, fish, ground beef and more. There was a plenty of fruits and vegetables to choose from and everything from fresh pastry to frozen foods was available. Maybe because LIDL has been doing business in Finland 20 years this year, they offered great bargains. This store was very busy store, but still clean and at a great location.
