Online supermarkets: a guide to Dutch grocery delivery services

While PLUS is on the more expensive side of places to get your groceries, the supermarket is known for high-quality meat and bakery products.

Whether you’re feeling hungry or just forgot to buy your favourite flavour of hagelslag, their PLUS Express option gets you your online groceries delivered in as fast as two hours.

Want your groceries delivered from Coop? Select your nearest Coop store online and fill your basket with delicious products.

There are currently 170 Coop stores across the Netherlands that deliver groceries at accessible prices — so you needn’t go premium (and pay premium prices!) to feed yourself.

The minimum spend at Picnic is lower than other supermarkets, making it the perfect option for singles or smaller households looking to order a smaller quantity.

If you’re still not convinced, Picnic delivers your groceries with an adorable mini truck that is 100% electric — a nice option if you’re looking for an environmentally friendly grocery delivery!

Another Berlin-based company, Flink, promises to deliver more than 2,000 items straight to your door. Type your address into the app to see exactly how long delivery will take.

The best thing? Flink offers fresh and organic produce at regular supermarket prices! Plus, they’re open seven days a week from 8 AM to 12 PM — beating most supermarket opening hours.

Crisp is a fully online supermarket that prides itself on delivering farm-fresh groceries directly to your door. By only ordering when the customer does, Crisp doesn’t overstock.

This means that you can’t get same-day deliveries, but if you order before 10 PM, the Crisp car be at your gate between 6 and 10 PM the next day.

Getting your ingredients from HelloFresh is fast and easy, and their boxes are highly personalised. You can decide whether you want meals that are vegetarian, family-friendly, or super fast to make.

You just browse through the delicious recipes and pick your three to five meals for the week. They give you the exact amount of ingredients you need, which means less food waste, too!

With Marley Spoon, you can choose from 80+ different recipes every week — plus, their quick and simple recipes mean you can whip up a delicious dish in just a few minutes.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can only pick the day of your meal box delivery, not a specific time. Alternatively, you can pay a few euros extra to have your box delivered in the evening.

Born out of a passion for delicious and healthy food, Boerschappen offers various types of meal boxes.

You can select a vegetarian, or vegan one, and there’s also one for meat lovers or a harvest box. They typically include three meals for up to six people.

Considering this country’s emphasis on sustainability, it was pretty difficult to find a supermarket that didn’t use plastic packaging… until Pieter Pot came along. 

On a mission to make groceries fully packaging-free, Pieter Pot delivers your groceries in aesthetic reusable jars (on which you pay a deposit) and then picks them up on your next delivery (and, obviously, gives your deposit money back).

Wondering if you can get your groceries delivered from the Dutch organic supermarket Ekoplaza? Yes, you can!

Ekoplaza aims to make an organic lifestyle accessible to everyone, so you can select from more than 7,000 of their organic products to be delivered to your home.

Too Good To Go works together with supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, and fresh produce stores to prevent food waste and save surplus food — meaning that their daily offer differs based on what’s left over that day.

How does this work, you ask? You simply order a so-called Magic Box and only find out what’s in it after you’ve picked up your order! 🤯

GroenteBroer, which translates to Veggie Brother, is the biggest online retailer of fruits and vegetables — ranging from local and seasonal to exotic fruits, smoothies, and pre-cut veggies for soup. 

If you’re organizing a big garden party or just don’t want to go through the process of picking each piece of fruit separately, GroenteBroer also offers fruit baskets of different kinds and sizes.

You know what’s better than drinking a glass (or two) with your dinner? Having a wine bottle (or three) delivered straight to your doorstep. Thanks to Baltazar’s wine box subscription, this is now easier than ever. 

The way it works is that you pick three unique wines as part of your monthly box, which is then delivered to your home at your convenience. Baltazar buys directly from winemakers, so they offer wines that you won’t find anywhere else.
