We got fresh fruit, hand soap, biscotti, bottled water, and other random things throughout the week. The cashiers were patient with us each time we paid and they showed me how to print out a barcode based on the fruit I was purchasing. I wish this was my local city grocery store in the US.

If you're staying around Mercatale, this will be your go-to grocery store in town, since there are…read moreno other options. Get your cheese and meats up on the square, but for the rest, you'll be stuck with the Coop. This one is very small, a limited selection. The food is still amazing, fresh, seasonal and local, as it is in most of Tuscany. If you need anything you can't find here though, try the bigger coop in San Casciano (keep in mind that things are so seasonal in Tuscany, that they may be out of tomatoes if it's the middle of winter, even though that's a staple you'd expect to find anywhere in Italy). If you still can't find what you need, seek out the hypermarket 45 minutes away, near Florence, called I Gigli. My main beef with this Coop is that the staff is incredibly rude. Even if you speak Italian, as long as you look like a foreign (blond, blue eyed, light skin, or any race but white), they will treat you like crap most of the time. They will hurl your fruits and vegetables to the end of the bagging counter, they will not be patient if you don't have your money ready or try to pay with a card that doesn't work, and certainly don't expect them to smile or wish you a good day. And if you don't speak Italian, expect nothing at all from them.

Basic grocery store in Mercantale with good local produce (tomatoes, cherries, basil) at extremely…read morelow prices. Interesting how vast the selection of cheeses, cured meats is (see my picture of a giant ham leg). If you're trying to find the eggs, they are across from the meats section and are not refrigerated. They also only carry them in half dozen packs. My only complaint is the personal care section. There aren't a huge selection of toothpastes and shampoos there FYI. They don't speak English.

Came to look for some groceries while here in Florence for a family trip! Found this location through Google Maos. This store is great because they have anything that you might need (which is pretty good for an express store) -- not sure if express stores are different than the American versions of expresses, but they had a good amount of options of just about everything. Not sure if the price is what all grocery stores charge in the area because a lot of things seemed quite expensive (loaf of bread could be 4 euros, where as in the US, it would be like 2). But it's a nice place to go to pick up some essential food items/snacks if you don't like eating out all the time when traveling (especially since it can be hard sometimes to find a foods that fit your craving). They carry: - Fresh fruits & veggies - Meats & seafoods - Refrigerated items like: seafood, frozen meals, milk, yogurts, cheese - Drinks: soda, waters, wines, beers, coffee - snacks: chips, nuts, crackers, chocolates and more - household items: kitchen utensils & cutlery, laundry items, bathroom items (toilet paper) - Travel items: power adapters & power extensions

This is apparently a supermarket chain in this area of Italy. They have fresh bread, meats, fish, local wines and an area with cooked and prepared food to take home.
