What an incredible grocery store! Isle after isle of everything you could possibly dream of... a…read morebakery section, all kinds of meats and cheeses, fresh vegetables, you name it! We visit Utrecht from the U.S. and the place we stay at is super close to Jumbo (yay!!). When we don't feel like going to a restaurant or cooking, we sometimes buy the prepared meals that Jumbo offers. They are so good! I also agree with Leah who sent in a review, that the prices there are GREAT! I will add a couple of photos. :)

I love JUMBO! Everything you want from a grocery store from stocked fresh produce to cheap prices…read more I lived in Utrecht for a few months and I made a trip to JUMBO everyday! The employees were nice and helpful whenever I asked questions ( I'm from the U.S. so I often had a hard time reading the Dutch labels) but they always tried their best to help me find products. The bakery section always had fresh pastries from donuts to baguettes. I also really appreciated the various checkout lanes which made checking out fairly quick. Nothing bad to say about this grocery store with the bright yellow letters :)

Huge selection and open until 24.00 every night (including Sunday). And, of course, it's packed…read moreduring later hours. This would make one think that more supermarkets would be up later, but nope. ASW is a #winner. Even have a twitter acct: @AlbertHeijnASW

A Turkish grocery store in Lombok? Wat leuk!…read more I come here a couple times per week and I really like this place. It must have the best selection of spices and grocery type stuff on Kanaalstraat. They have an extremely large deli area where you can buy dolmas, hummus, olives and other stuff by weight - and it's excellent. They always seem to have a good variety of produce and prices are reasonable. It's not the cheapest on the street, but it's worth it. They do NOT have a butcher counter like most other stores, and they are not open as late as the other vendors .

I love this shop. Ever since we moved to the Netherlands and my father found the Kanaalstraat, he's…read morebeen dragging me there. Yes, dragging, I don't really find Kanaalstraat all too interesting. We used to have a few shops that we frequented that have now gone that I didn't mind going to. But this shop, this one I even volunteer to go to! My dad loves to find some of the stuff that we buy in Israel and can't usually get here and quite frankly, I do too! I must say that the shop has lost a little bit of it's charm with the redecorating they did last year, but it does look a lot neater and it means more room for the gigantic assortment of nuts they added, including chocolate covered nuts. Mmm... Other than that, the shop has a nice array of cheeses, high quality fresh produce, lovely snacks and ingredients that you just can't get at a Dutch store and also a lot of different pasta's, pulses and sweets. The only thing I can't quite figure out is why the store is called Perse Polis and it says to be a Persian grocery store. My dad being a chatty Cathy of course knows his vendors and these guys are Iranian! Oh well, I'm not sure it's even a mystery that I want to solve. ;)

I love sandwiches! I have been waiting for years for Dutch people to realise that packed sandwiches…read moreare amazing. Back home in England we would always grab a sandwich on the go and when we moved here they were still non-existent. Now over a decade and a half later Albert Heijn to go seems to understand the amazingness that is the ready made, pre-packed sandwich and offers quite a wide variety. Luckily for me also quite a few (good!) vegetarian options. Other than that it's a good place to grab a quick snack, drink, lunch or even meal (salads and sandwiches) when you're on the go and want something delicious and fairly healthy. Next step: bring down the prices and AH to go will be travelling perfection.

When I work from my office in the Jordaan, I have found Sappies to be a great spot for lunch…read more Although their specialty is in fresh juices, I haven't tried them yet. When walking why I noticed a sign for soup and though, 'mmm...soup'. I love soup for lunch on a cold, rainy, dreary day. I've had their tomato+couscous soup and another veggie soup from here. Both delicious. The soups are also heated up to order, so it is not super quick, but worth it. I've had their toasti with cheese and a sandwich with cheese, tomato, and rucola. Both tasty. What is also nice about this place is that all items ate 100% organic. Nice to see this type of initiative around. This is really a to-go place, not a lot of room to eat or sit there. The ingredients are fresh and tasty and the soups I highly recommend. I plan to go back for juices and fresh squeezed wheatgrass juice in the future!

Shop's fine, does the job: -Love their selection of…read morevegetarian meat stuffs, they have some different things than Albert Heijn. -Don't really love the personnel. The cashiers are friendly, but the people out on the floor however seem a bit... unintelligent. To say the least that is, for example the other day someone had a pack of leaky yoghurt and instead of following the trail to see where it came from and where it was going, everyone in the shop (we did an entire round and heard each and every staff member on the floor discuss it) just asked a co-worker who's fault it was. They literally sought blame with whomever had left behind the trail. instead of just finding out where it was coming from, stopping it from continuing and just cleaning it up. In other words, these people aren't smart enough to do their own jobs. They also leave product standing in the way while restocking which is a thing that they apparently need fifteen(!) people for. The shop is not that big! Seems expensive to me to have so much staff walking around doing a job that four people could easily manage... That all being said, some products are cheaper here, some products you won't find anywhere else and the cashiers seem to know what they're doing. So for specific items we definitely continue to shop here.
