I am a huge, huge fan of Marqt and was SO happy when they opened near my house. This is a small one…read morebut they have many things I love, including a sizeable cheese section (always with samples), lots of Bbrood brand bread, some nice wines and quite a few heat and serve options (dinner entrees, soups, etc). I have discovered a few new products thanks to their samples that are always out. Yay for samples. On the negative side, as already mentioned the store is small but does a lot of business. They often only have one register open so you can stand in line for a little bit. And now a story to illustrate my love for Marqt: a few weeks ago I had a very bad experience at the register when the price that was ringing up for one of my items was incorrect (or so I thought). The checkout girl did not try to solve it and I left fuming mad and without the item in question. I had to go to the Albert Heijn down the street to get it which was punishment enough if you've ever been to that store. And on top of that I threatened to boycott the store (which unfortunately lasted about five days before I went into withdrawal, couldn't stay away longer!). Inspired by an Australian friend who writes email complaints and praises to businesses here in town, and channeling my former American self who used to love to do this, I sent them an email and told them what happened. For two weeks I got no response which made me even more mad - but then someone from the store called and apologized and tried to make things right. And that's another reason I love Marqt, because I feel they try to do the right thing. For me this is excellent customer service - especially when I saw last night that the price that was ringing up was indeed correct (oops oops oops, must pay more attention to per kilo versus per 500 grams). The store must have realized I had read the price incorrectly and they still went out of their way to make me feel better about how I was treated (even if the cashier was right in insisting on the price that was ringing up). Anyways, if any of you are doubters, yes it can be more expensive than other stores (though not always), but the food quality is good and so are the people apparently, which makes for a very happy me :)

In our nieuwe buurt, we located the closest Marqt to Schinkelbuurt and this is it.

The bread is fabulous and the small spelt chocolate cakes are perfect for two people for a couple days desert. Anchovies are good too. Also a fresh fish area and they're patient when I try to speak Dutch so that's always good.

It was fun sitting at the counter, my husband reading and me trying to catch up on Yelp. People watching was great from that large window--so many people were commuting to school and work by bicycle--it seemed like 5 times as many bikes as cars, which is brilliant. Later ax we walked around, we noticed other Stach cafes around, but this one seems the roomiest and most hospitable and the others most suited for take away.

This small little shop offers all kinds of baked goods, candy, chips, bottled beverages, coffee, tea, and even some ice cream (although the flavours weren't anything that I currently wanted). The staff here was super nice and we ended up picking up multiple drinks, snacks, and the reason I'm mostly writing this little review, the big fluffy cookie I couldn't walk away from at the counter. This chocolate chip cookie was soft and crunchy at the same time, you know, the way a perfect cookie is, and it was delicious. Overall, Stach Foods is a clutch spot to stop at for a baked good and a drink and if you like fruity soft serve flavours, you gotta give those a try too.

I was looking for a specific oatmeal cookies made by a particular vendor and this was listed as a place that has it on their website. Unfortunately, they didn't have the specific item I was searching for, but I decided to instead get some lemon-ginger cookies, and this was lovely. I loved the fact that there is garden plot outside the store entrance, where I noticed tomatoes and other herbs growing. Inside its well laid out, with a fantastic cheese and meat collection and on the day I visited, there was a lovely medley of organic cheese samples available to try. The butcher at the meat counter was fantastic - gave great advice and I loved the salami he suggested I get. Am very glad checked it out, and definitely will return for the meat, but honestly, found this store prices to be more expensive than EkoPlaza. Yelp 220/ 2018

They have a huge assortment of baked goods from croissants, macarons, cookies, pastries and then chocolates, chips, drinks, and all sorts of goodies. It's hard not to go in and buy everything.

I also had a macaroon which was wonderfully coconutty coated halfway with chocolate.

It was so convenient and we stopped by multiple times to pick up snacks and beverages. There's a great selection of beers and other soft drinks available by the bottle. Unfortunately, on both of our visits, the refrigerated cases were out of order so there wasn't anything cold. I highly recommend visiting the cheese counter. Everyone needs some gouda in their life while in the Netherlands! I was also excited to find containers of a crispy snack called emping melindjo, which we'd had for the first time at a bar while we were in town. It was only because of marqt that I was able to find out the name of said snack! I purchased a container, along with some chutney, which we enjoyed on the boat. Marqt takes credit cards only. They have great reusable bags available for a small fee if you don't have your own. Overall, an excellent city grocery!
