Migros

I walked 30 minutes one way through the snow to reach this Migros branch and I am really, really glad I did. Neigbouring Zollikon is lucky to have such a posh supermarket. The Balgrist Migros, near where I live, is tiny and sad. While perusing this jewel of a shop, I had the impression I was in a store back home as the aisles were wide, the fruit and veg area spacious, and the check stands were ample and many. Ahhhh.
This outpost also boasts both butcher and cheese counters. –looking for sausages that are reminiscent of an American breakfast link? Look no further. –in search of French, raw-​milk, sheep’s cheese? It’s here.
Fortunately, I scored a can of condensed milk for my upcoming baking needs. Perhaps this Migros stocks canned pumpkin? We’ll see what October brings…
Sugary cereal buffs: Kellogg’s dominates the breakfast cereal display with the Swiss versions of Sugar Smacks, Coco Puffs and the like.
I’ll be ‘crossing the border’ more often now that I know there’s an oasis of shopping just ’round the bend.
Bonus: Saturday morning Farmers’ Market on the plaza in front of the store.
