In America, we would call this a convenience store...meaning it has all of the things that we need…read morebut it is not a big store. This was my place to buy bottles of water and snacks for my hotel room. I also would buy some beer here too, after picking up a pizza to go from San Marco Pizza just across the street. Nothing like a hot fresh pizza with a cold beer to wash it down. They also had some great deals on beer here too. I was able to get some cans for a euro...that is a great deal...plus the beer had like 9 percent alcohol...I call that a good deal. I was a little scared when I first walked in here but found the place nice after a few visits.

I don't want to eat stale bread products. In America, I'm not sure what we'd compare this to. It's got a lot to choose from: drinks, donuts, sandwiches, salads, candy, and more. It's a local convenience store, but definitely more of a healthier selection than say a 7-11. You're not buying a churro or anything like that, but you can definitely find a sandwich to-go that might tide you over until your real meal. I thought it was clean. The line was long and moved quickly and the cashiers were friendly. I wasn't a fan of the variety of the products overall, but hey, sometimes you gotta make due.

Just to explain: Albert Heijn to go is a little brother of the bigger supermarket Albert Heijn…read more You'll find them in stations, on busy streets and in the airport. The name "to go" means you can buy things you need as you go. Do not expect to find a full assortment here. Just the basics, including a toothbrush, toilet paper and garbage bags. It's not meant to do your weekly shopping. You really can't buy everything you need AND the prices are much higher. If you need to do big shopping in the center (or if you want to spend less) go to the big Albert Heijn behind the palace on Dam square (Nieuwe Zijdsvoorburgwal). It's just 3 minutes walking. Having said this all, this Albert Heijn to go DOES have a sushi bar. Fresh sushi is being prepared in the middle of the busy center. Whereas I would never recommend to eat anywhere on Damrak (packed with low quality tourist traps) this sushibar is an exception. The sushi is really good and the price as well.

I'm not a fan of the show, but Phil went there with a local chef who loves it, so why not give it a try? The place is conveniently located right off of Albert Cuypstraat, next to the market. The staff welcomed us in and were very helpful. We went with a pickled herring sandwich and kibbeling, which is fried cod chunks. Both are traditional Dutch foods and came highly recommended. The sandwich was delightful - perfectly soft bread enveloping briny pickled fish, pickles, and onions? Yes! The pickled herring is not for everyone, and we had already tried it elsewhere on its own. Having it in a sandwich was a better experience. The Kibbeling was very good - well breaded, but not greasy, and letting the fish flavor through. There isn't really anywhere to sit, but you can stand at some tables outside or snack inside the establishment, as well. We would be regulars here, for sure, if we lived close by. Highly recommend a visit here.

This is a Persian convenience store that doubles as a general convenience night shop in Amsterdam…read more They're open from 10 to 10 every day of the week so we're off on the right foot. What can you say about this place? It's just a convenience store and it does a good job at being one, nothing special there. However, where the "special" kicks in, is that it carries LOTS of Persian products. Bread, candy, cookies, ingredients, even music and probably more. I have the Persian heritage and although I don't speak Farsi well and am not really in touch with my Persian side, however my Persian side is very much in touch with me in form of fur on my skin, I cannot live without a certain few ingredients I grew to absolutely love since I was a kid and you know what, I can get those ingredients at this little shop for reasonable prices. One thing I love is saffron. They have pretty high quality saffron here. It's expensive, but hey... it's saffron! I make a killer saffron cheesecake! Yeah baby combining American with Persian! Another thing I absolutely cannot live without is rosewater! No, shut up, it's not that chemical pink concoction you can get at the Chinese shops filled with emulsifiers and god knows what else. No, I'm talking about REAL PURE ROSEWATER. It's as clear as water and it consists of two things: distilled water and rose essence, actual rose essence. Recent research also shows that it's extremely healthy for your heart and arteries among other things. Persians just throw that stuff in about ANY desert they have. Rose ice cream? Typical Persian! Rose nougat? Yup, we have it. Rose and saffron pudding? Please! Rose rice wafers? Check! I can continue, but I won't. Speaking of deserts, you can get lots of different kinds of Persian stuff here if you wanna give it a try. One of two more things I wanna mention is Persian knife-cut noodles (hand made). They are called "reshteh" and I love putting them in my homemade soups instead of vermicelli or whatever. They're pretty awesome! The other is dates! Persian dates. There are lots of different kinds of dates but at the Turks, you get those hard, shiny brittle-ish dates. Blaghh Persians have these dates called "Rottab"... or "Lottab"... I honestly don't know if it's an R or L. Who cares. Anyway, Try those! They MELT in your mouth! Chewing: NOT required! You can easily pull the seed out and put the date in your mouth to let it melt! They have those in front, at the cash register. Check the photos. So go here and have a look-see if you wanna explore and broaden your horizon.
