Curacao Grocery Store – Map

1. Van Den Tweel – Albert Heijn

• Address: 28 Kaya Jacob Posner, Willemstad, Curaçao

The Albert Heijn Van den Tweel is the best grocery store in Curacao overall.

Since Albert Heijn is a Dutch Brand, they mostly have typical Dutch groceries. You can find all of the favorites, such as Stroopwafel and Hagelslag.

The quality of the supermarket is great, and the food is fresh. You can buy seafood, meat, produce, and other necessities.

The grocery store is about 15 minutes outside of Willemstad, so it is definitely possible to go from the city.

I like the fresh fruits and fresh produce and vegetables. They have international products, but also local snacks and local products as well as household essentials. Plus, it does have a convenient location.

They have coffee to go and even a smoothie station – super fancy!

2. Carrefour

•  Address: Sambil Mall, Veeris 27 L-155, Willemstad, Curaçao

Carrefour is my personal favorite of the Curacao grocery stores.

Carrefour is one of the biggest supermarkets in Curacao. It is also the most expensive one, but they have high-quality food and drinks.

You can also buy cosmetics, sun products, and BBQ utensils at the Carrefour.

The supermarket is conveniently located in the Sambil shopping center just outside Willemstad. You can combine your visit with some shopping or a movie in the cinema.

3. Vreugdenhil Supermarket

• Address:  z/n Schubappelweg, Willemstad, Curaçao

The Vreugdenhil Supermarket in Curacao is another one of my favorite grocery stores.

They have many North American things, but also plenty of Dutch products.

The store is pretty big, and they even have a small cosmetics store included.

Vreugdenhil Supermarket is also beloved among locals, and it is a lot cheaper than Albert Heijn or Carrefour.

There is a small coffee-to-go cart, and you can buy fresh cake and bread.

4. Curacao Centrum Supermarket

• Address: Weg Naar Bullenbaai, Curaçao

The Centrum Supermarket is another great supermarket in Curacao.

They have everything you could possibly wish for – it is quite big.

This grocery store is also where Curacao locals shop. It is not as fancy as the Carrefour or the Albert Heijn.

Centrum Supermarket is a little more expensive than Vreugdenhil, but the quality is about the same.

It is also about 15 minutes outside of Willemstad, located a bit more to the West.

Centrum Supermarket is located in the Piscadera area, so it is great for people who stay in Piscadera.

5. Albert Heijn Jan Thiel

• Address: Kaya Damasco, Jan Thiel, Curaçao

The second Albert Heijn supermarket in Curacao is located in Jan Thiel.

This supermarket will be your first choice for grocery shopping if you are staying at Jan Thiel Beach.

The store is quite small, so you can basically only buy food.

The selection is not very big, so if you need a wider choice, you have to go to a different market.

6. New California Supermarket, Tera Cora

• Address: 6XF9+X52, Tera Korá Willemstad, Curaçao

The New California Supermarket is one of the only Curacao grocery stores in the west of the island. If you are staying in Playa Lagun, Westpunt, or Koraal Resort, this is a great choice.

The quality is slightly less good than in the Willemstad supermarkets, but you can still find everything you need in this store.

New California Supermarket is also a little less expensive and is much visited by locals.

The store is quite easy to find if you drive towards Westpunt through the village of Tera Cora, you can see it on the left side.

7. Bon Bini Supermarket

• Address: 21 Jongbloed, Willemstad, Curaçao

The Bon Bini Supermarket is another popular choice for grocery shopping in Curacao.

They have a bakery for fresh bread, and you can even buy ice cream there.

I have not been there often, it is not one of my regular supermarkets in Curacao.

Are There Other Curacao Supermarkets?

Yes, there are many more grocery stores in Curacao.

Sadly, we have found that they do not have the quality standards that we are used to in Europe or the US.

If you are looking for great quality grocery stores in Curacao, I suggest you stick to the seven stores I recommended.

Curacao Grocery Delivery

We have not ordered many groceries online in Curacao. However, I do know it is a thing.

Goisco is one of the best online food delivery websites in Curacao.

If you are looking to order full-blown meals, I suggest checking out the DushiFood app.

Drinks Stores in Curacao

Luckily, you can buy drinks in Curacao in the supermarkets. You do not need to find a special grocery store that sells drinks.

Carrefour, Vreugdenhil Supermarket, Centrum Supermarket and Albert Heijn all have great selections for beer and other liquor.

A great tip if you are looking to buy Blue Curacao: go to Landhuis Chobolobo directly, to save some money and see where the liquor is made.

• Address: Saliña Ariba, Willemstad, Elias R. A. Moreno Boulevard, Willemstad, Curaçao

Are Groceries Expensive in Curacao?

Yes, grocery shopping in Curacao is quite expensive.

The prices in Curacao supermarkets are comparable with North American Supermarkets.

This means it is slightly more expensive than European stores (of course also depends on the exchange rate).

If you visit local supermarkets, the food is slightly cheaper than in the Carrefour or the Albert Heijn. However, the quality is also a little less.

Curacao grocery prices are usually marked in Curacao currency, so keep that in mind when going shopping.

If you go to the floating market or the wholesaler, you can find more affordable prices. The upside of supermarkets is that they do have a wide variety of products.

Tourists on vacation probably appreciate convenience and easy access over affordability.
