Simple basic products with a clean aesthetic but at competitive prices. The real story here though is breakfast. It truly will be the best buy you will make in the Netherlands. All over the country, in every Hema store from 9-10 am, you can get breakfast for 1€. You honestly can't even get coffee for that anywhere else.

A total steal for breakfast and reason enough to get out and about earlier. It's just so easy to like the store... Dear Hema, "Dank U wel!"

I just love this store! they have useful and useless things but you want them all. They also have…read morefood! and a cafe where you can seat and have breakfast, lunch or just a coffee break for a very tiny budget. Not to mention that during the winter they have the best sausage! It's just great!
