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 recently visited the K-Citymarket inside of Jumbo mall. This place is gigantic! They have…read moreeverything from bbq grills to clothing, makeup to books, school supplies to groceries. They have an absolutely massive amount of food at this store, and I say this as an American where Costco and Walmart are ubiquitous. They have a giant section for just Tex-Mex foods which I was surprised to see. I ended up getting quite a few sauces and tortilla chips to use during the week. (Mexican and Tex-Mex foods are many Americans comfort food when abroad.) There is a super cute candy section and I was pleased to find my favorite gluten-free candy brands from Spain available here. There are also bulk candies and of course more choices for liquorice than one could ever need. As a celiac, I liked that many products' price tag had a gluten-free (and dairy free or vegan) tag hanging off the side so they were easily spotted. This was not consistent across the board, many products that were listed as gluten-free on their actual packaging didn't have the label hanging off of the price tag, but I was happy to see that there were so many choices. There were quite a few gluten-free options, including an entire refrigerator filled with gluten-free pastries and cakes. Even though I don't speak a word of Finnish, buying produce that needed to be weighed and labeled before checking out was intuitive and easy to do. Staff spoke to us in Finnish but when we just smiled and nodded, they switched to English. Unfortunately in Finland, you can't sign up for a loyalty card without a Finnish address (and they're also connected to people's bank accounts so people can't share their card???) so our grocery bill was quite a bit higher than anticipated because none of the sale prices applied to our bill which was the one drawback. Parking is ample as it is next to the gigantic parking garage at the mall. Visited: May 2026
