They have a good assortment of grains, pasta, snacks, fruits/vegetables, beverages, and personal products.

Beyond the jams, oils and fruit juices, one can find nuts, dried fruits and 500 gr. bags of espresso beans (the sort he uses for his finkmüller enterprise). A traditional cappucino/flatwhite will set you back 5 CHF and it is worth every Rappe.
