I love this specific Albert Heijn in Haarlem. It is my favourite grocery store in the Netherlands. There are so many pros to this Albert Heijn. Soon as I walked in here, I was thinking this is definitely my type of grocery store. It gave me a cozy feeling of my old grocery store in the states. However the only thing that is missing is someone at the counter to bag the groceries, but I guess you can’t have it all. I was so delighted to see their extensive gluten-free section. It is the most extensive one that i have seen in the Netherlands. In addition, I love their sushi, taste better then some of the sushi shops that I have hit up in Amsterdam.

This location of AH is my most favorite one and there are few reasons for it. First: It is close to my house — important fact Second: It is pretty big. not AHXL but close to it. Third: There is a self scan shopping option — this is the only shopping option that I use when shopping at AH and sometimes when I go to different supermarkets I tend to put things directly into my bag and not the basket. Fourth: There is Gall and Gall next to it:) Fifth: Just recently they reconstructed the shop to add Sushi Daily and Fresh Meat & Grill section. Sushi Daily is basically freshly made sushi on the spot in the middle of AH. Everyday there are 3 – 4 people cutting and rolling fresh sushi. Sixth: Staff working in the shop is very friendly and helpful.
