This is my favorite place to grocery shop. I buy most of my fruits and vegetables here because I…read moreknow the quality is always good. They are quite good at getting rid of any rotten food, a kind of service you won't find at most grocery stores in Norway. I was about to buy a mango once that was overripe and the guy at the counter took me out to the mangos to show me which ones were the best to buy. He could have easily allowed me to buy one that wasn't the best quality, but instead he threw the mango out that I was about to buy and picked out probably the best mango I have ever had. The selection inside is always great. You can buy a lot of American products here (peanut butter, baked beans, maple syrup, salad dressings, etc.) The bread is always fresh and I love their massive selection of olives. The service here is terrific. Most recognize me and say hi when I pass by, even if I am not shopping there. They are a great part of the neighborhood and one of the many reasons I love living where I do.

This is a great little shop that stocks a really good range of asian and middle eastern groceries…read more They also have a wide selection of fresh vegetables at much lower prices than at the supermarket. You can get all sorts of instant noodles, big bags of rice, sticky rice, korean chilli bean paste, indian spices and frozen seafood. It's pretty cramped in there though.

The people who run this are very nice, and they remembered what we bought the time before and asked if everything was good. Sure, some things at the COOP are a little cheaper (not much), and they don't have meat and ice cream, but go there for the finest produce and attentive service. I am a big fan.
