It's coop, it's extra!…read more It's bigger on the inside! No, I kid you not - it's true. I was skeptical when I first went to this supermarket since it looks so shabby and without hardly any windows on the outside, but once you get in, you realise that it's one of those big supermarkets that are pretty much sell everything that you need. Vegetables, organic vegetables (ekologiska, obviously), fish, tons of fish, cheese, butter, meat, gluten free and lactose free products (since we're talking about Sweden) and other household stuff. They have also aisles for imported products - I saw a lot of obscure products in Slavic languages, Reeses peanut butter chocolates and Guiness chips and some fancy microwave popcorn. They have also pretty decent aisle full of Asian stuff, including bambooshoots in cans - that pretty much exist only in Asian shops in Copenhagen. They have good brand of coconut milk (not just the weird Santa Maria or whatever it is called now), rice noodles, egg noodles and pakchoy on the vegetable rack. Ah Sweden, you're the best when it comes to supermarket. Danish ones can't really beat it, not even big warehouse-like one like Bilka. The location is pretty convenient as well, just across Värnhem, sort of smaller bus station where you do your switches if you are not lucky enough to ride buses without change from/to home/work. This has quickly become my supermarket-to-go during my stay in Malmö.

Woahhh! ICA Maxi has some serious competition. Like them, this place has everything from exotic…read moreproduce to cheeses A-Z to a huge lactose-free section. Next to the latter is a whole refrigerated case of Astrid och aporna products as well as a variety of vegan cheeses and spreads. Really impressive selection all around. I am also surprised by how much stuff they have for pets. Of course with all Swedish supermarkets, the alcohol department is lacking. The price is in line with ICA, maybe some things are a little more expensive, but Coop seems to have more variety.

This was our first experience with a Swedish grocery store. We purchased a number of preserves and…read morejellies plus some chocolates and cookies. The store looked like it carried a wide range of products. They've even had Ben & Jerry's ice cream but the cost was considerably higher than in Vermont, about US$10 per small container. I noticed that the beer in Swedish grocery stores is all 3.2 to 3.8 percent alcohol. You can buy higher percentage beverages but you need to go to a separate type of store. You need to bring your own grocery bags or buy theirs. You bag your own groceries.

Meat, fish and Artisan cheese are also available. They used to have a Salad Bar but maybe removed temporarily? This is my stop for Marbou Chocolates given their selection & prices. A good selection of Smoked/Nova Salmon also. As they are close to my usual hotel, this location is perfect for any forgotten travel items and snacks. They do have self serve checkout and are good about opening up more check out lanes when busy. Good to check hours as they are usually open even if the mall is closed. (I.e. they were open on the most recent Bank Holiday.). They do have a separate entrance at the back of the mall. Conveniently located close to the train and bus stations, this is the spot for your grocery needs while in Hyllie.

This supermarket is everything that I ever wanted in Denmark. Only that it's not in Denmark. It's…read moreprobably 15 minutes by train from my place, but it's still in another country. Everything in here reminds me of those giant "hypermarkets" chains that we have in Indonesia. Rows and rows of different vegetables, a huge cool section for meat, their own fishmongers and butchers - and so many different brands and even for people with allergy or just vegans. Swedish supermarkets know to cater them all. My favourite buys from this place? The fresh Asian veggies, the seafood and the cheese in tubes... and oh, the Swedish prepackaged meatballs. LOL Whenever you are in Malmö for a shopping run, do your groceries at the same time!

I feel it's important to share my disappointing experience in Torvehallerne at Omegn & Venner…read moreDuring our meal, our belongings were stolen, which severely affected our overall experience. Alarmingly, the staff seemed familiar with the thief/theft, even conversing with him in Roma, and appeared more upset with us for expressing our distress than with the situation itself. To make matters worse, the chef was confrontational and lacked empathy. If my customers were robbed in my establishment, I would be deeply embarrassed and would prioritize assisting them instead of responding aggressively. I was unable to pay for our meal because my device was taken, yet the restaurant insisted on charging us the full price, which we observed another patron pay. They did not contact the police or report the theft. Instead of providing assistance, we were asked to leave while the thief was allowed to walk away, despite three witnesses confirming he was the one responsible. Afterward, we approached the police, who informed us that such treatment of customers is unacceptable and raises serious safety concerns. I strongly advise potential diners to reconsider their choice of restaurant. While the food may be enjoyable, the treatment of customers left much to be desired.

It has a very large range of products at affordable prices and the service is always absolutely top-notch.

This place has the best selection of eko products in Malmo. However I stopped shopping there for a…read morenumber of reasons: - The staff is particularly unfriendly and changes all the time. Their attitude is peculiar: no smile, no hi, they seem like they are just exhausted and having the worst day ever. Try bringing to their attention that a load of bread is completely mouldy and they'll just take it with no comment and ditch it in a corner with a sigh. They don't say thanks, or goodbye. - The exact same base products (for instance eko bread) are available up the 50pc cheaper in shops like coop. Everything is overpriced. The veggies are very sad looking. I have zero positive feeling for this place. They are just here to make money off you basically. You better off growing your own food and buy the rest in regular shops.
