Eichholtz delicatessen

What do I want? Yorkshire Tea! When do I want it? ASAP! «Normal or Gold blend?» «Oooo Gold»…
This place is not cheap but it has a great selection of a number of different things including British and American as well as a number of truffle products in a glass case. This makes me think it’s not just British and American items anymore and probably because the owner orders in for customers. This includes: all sorts of Reece’s Pieces items (we bought the cereal which is lush), Betty Crocker mixes, marmite, bistro gravy, Penn state sour cream pretzels and a huge selection of Oreo varieties. There aren’t any prices on anything so you might go mad and spend a fortune by accident so beware!
Examples: a can of Dr. Pepper vanilla float was € 2
80 Yorkshire gold tea bags were about € 7.95 non Gold was € 6.95
The tea was cheaper than in Waterstones but there are other places that might be cheaper still.
I was a satisfied customer though as I got what I really wanted and more that intrigued me and I was willing to pay the price. I’m sure I’ll be back due to convenience or to find something I’ve not tried before that looks totally amazing (like Rockin Road snickers)…

U.S. and British shop with tons of familiar foods from back home. My American boyfriend and I loved walking through the shop lovingly gazing (and drooling) at all the yummy stuff we’ve been missing since moving to Switzerland a couple years ago.
OMG, they have Cool Mint Crème Oreos!!! REALLY pricey though. WAY too pricey. Too pricey to the point that although we craved everything in the store, we just didn’t have the heart to fork over an arm and a leg for what would only cost a buck or two back home. So we wiped our mouths and left empty-​handed.

I know I am the jerk who gave one star but hear me out.
After stumbling upon this little store my second year in Amsterdam I was beyond excited to find a little piece of home. After seeing the prices I decided to splurge on one item that brought the warm feeling of home to me, gushers. As soon as we left I opened the box quicker than most civilized people and dug in. Immediately, I knew something was wrong as the texture was that of hard candy. I told my boyfriend to spit it out immediately as that is not how they are supposed to taste. When I looked at the expiration date it was beyond expired. Being less than 20 feet away from the store we went back to ask to exchange the product. The owner clearly takes no influence from custom service culture from the home country of products he is selling as he refused to exchange the product we bought less than 10 minutes earlier while insulting both of us as,“the two stupidest people he has ever met.” No longer interested in doing any business with a person who sure does not deserve my money, we asked for a full refund and we would never like to come back. 2 years later we have never returned.

There’s a lot of North American breakfast cereals here and pop tarts for a healthy dessert. We bought Canada Dry ginger ale, Schweppes small cans UK and even Reese’s peanut butter cups — which will all be eaten and consumed tonite in a homesick binge.

I pop in here from time to time as I often work around the corner. It’s true that the prices are very high (especially compared to some other «expat» shops), but they carry many things that you won’t find in those other shops, and to be fair, real estate on Leidsestraat isn’t cheap, so I imagine this is another reason for the high prices (20−30% more for many things than at Kingsalmarkt, for example). But hopefully you don’t want to live off of Pop Tarts, Timtams and Mac & Cheese, so it’s nice to be able to pick up these sorts of items if you’re in that mood now and then and worth paying a little extra. Yes, it’s weird to pay € 6 for something that might cost 50 cents back home, but that’s life… it’s a bit crowded as well — staff has usually been very friendly and polite to me when I pop in…(one tip: they don’t seem to like breaking big bills for small purchases, so be prepared to PIN or bring smaller bills so everyone’s happy!)

Man kriegt hier alles die Frage ist nur zu welchem Preis. Ob Import-​Schokolade, Spezialitäten aus aller Welt Kreditkarte geht erst ab 25,00 Euro Die zu erreichen ist aber schnell erledigt ;)

i would give this place a HUGE 4 or 5 stars but the prices… OMG… i mean i get it… it’s from another country but come on… do you have to stab me soo deep with the ridiculously overpriced items!!! a box of graham crackers were almost 10 euros! i was so excited to hear about this place and go shopping but then i saw the prices and walked out with my tail between my legs :(
but on the positive side… they do have a lot of good stuff there! little tip. they have a handful of the same items at Tijns in the Pijp!!!

You’ll find something here to comfort your homesickness if you’re from the US. I was super excited to find Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and real sweet pickle relish here. They didn’t have any gardineria (a Chicago food staple) when I visited, but the owner said he is open to ordering things for customers if he’s able to import it.
It is a little expensive, but it’s cheaper than a plane ticket over the ocean. :)

If you are from the US or UK and feeling homesick, Eichholtz is for you. This interesting store on the main strip offers many of the usual comfort foods of the US and UK that you won’t find in regular supermarkets here… Apple Jacks, Cheerios, Pop Tarts, Mac and Cheese, etc. They have an impressive selection of items from the US (can’t speak for the UK).
Bottom line: Comfort foods for your home away from home. But you’ll be paying a hefty price for your Lucky Charms.

WOW! If you’re an ex-​pat working in Amsterdam you need to make this place your next stop.
This place is filled with cookies, cereal, chocolate and more from the US. It is a great place for the kind of comfort food not usually found in amsterdam.
If you like American food, are looking for something different or wanting something unique (don’t get the chocolate), then get something from here (American chocolate is not recommended) :-D
