A deliciously fresh bottle of juice for under 3 euros! You put your bottle under the spout, push the button, and watch as your fresh juice is squeezed into your bottle. The juice is fantastic and you can taste the freshness of it. The oranges are just sweet enough and it's so wonderful to know it's all juice with no additives. The bottle is about 6 oz., but you can also purchase a larger bottle (can't remember the cost). There's no way you can get a bottle of fresh OJ in the states for this little bit of money! The food they carry seems to be pretty much on the healthy side. They have ready made meals you can get for a quick dinner. There are also the regular grocery items for those looking for more. Lots of different ready made salads, a meat market, fresh veggies, a fish/seafood section, and a bakery are also here. Their offerings are extensive and it's a great place to pop in for a quick meal or snack item. I got a container of soup and a margarita focaccia at the bakery that our nice hotel clerk reheated for me. Great for a quick and inexpensive meal! Sorry, no pictures!

This is a large Albert Heijn location in Amsterdam, located on Van Baerlestraat in the Museumplein…read moredistrict. It is in an ideal location for tourists looking to grab a cold drink or stock up on essentials, while in the city, especially due to its location being very close to public transport links, and museums. It is located in a basement but you can get a decent mobile phone signal inside, even after heading down the escalator. For tourists, Albert Heijin is the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, it's pretty much a brand you can't hide from and it seems they have stores everywhere you look with almost 1000 stores in the Netherlands. Unlike some AH stores, they do accept foreign Mastercard and Visa cards here, which seems to have changed in the past couple of years, as some older reviewers did state this wasn't possible. This specific location is pretty large and carries two main benefits over the AH To Go stores dotted around the city: - Product Selection (Larger store, so has many more products including the freshly squeezed orange machine, which was turned on and functioning) - Price (Reasonably cheaper compared to AH To Go stores, meaning you can save some money here compared to their stores nearby, in general I noticed prices were slightly more than back home, but prices were good compared to other stores I visited in the Netherlands) Most of the checkouts here are self-service, but there are a couple of manned checkouts. The self-checkouts were reasonably easy to use, with an English language option, and a staff member on hand to help. I did experience an issue where I required a staff member's approval for my product, I did only purchase a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice, so I'm not sure if they offer random checks or if it was some sort of verification. You will also need to save your receipt, or request a short barcode to leave the store, so make sure to take it with you! 4*

Don't expect them to have the entirety of selection of a typical store (ie we couldn't find asparagus or single onions here, but could find pretty much everything else on our grocery list). The discounts are the best part, everything's quite cheap. If you're looking for something super specific I'd try here first with the knowledge you might have to go to a second store to get everything you need. Not the best upkeep store, there's empty boxes and stuff laying around, and the layout is kind of hard to get around with carts.

They have great basic groceries for very low prices, and some toiletries and household items too. I went in twice while we were staying in the area for about a week, and noticed changing items in a seasonal bin that were fun - first it was Christmas sweaters and socks, then it changed to pillows and towels... just random stuff. They have a bunch of great snacky things - nuts, dried fruit, chocolates - I actually picked up packs of chocolate drinking sticks (like a chocolate ice cube stuck on a popsicle stick) to bring home to give away to friends. I picked up fruit, pre-made smoothies, and sweets. Such a great find compared to higher end markets on bigger streets that have great options also and fancier items, but much higher prices.

Only open 8am til 8pm (Museumplein open til 10pm) Get an AH "Bonus" card to take advantage of their discounts, or ask them to swipe a store card for you (not sure if they do this; I just got my own AH Bonus card). ALL AH only accept cash and Dutch "chipkaart" (no US credit cards). If you only have a credit card, go to Marqt on Overtoom, not far away on NE side of Vondelpark. I've found AH brand to be of high quality, and especially appreciated the fresh baked breads and glass bottled AH smoothies in the case to the left of dairy in the nook behind the eggs (easy to miss as you breeze through).

I found some adorable cake decorations here (lady bugs!) And the price just can't be beat. I'll definitely be back for picnic supplies. Albert Heijn is right across the way, and there is a tasty place to eat (Efem) in the same plaza. I'm a fan.

This location is smaller than some of the other ones, and thus doesn't carry as many products, hence the four stars.
