Online grocery delivery services in Croatia

By Kaja Korbar Olcott

With COVID-19 limiting movement in the country, grocery stores are some of the few places still open, making in-store shoppers more susceptible to exposure to the virus. Luckily, Croatia has been showing promising numbers in recent days, indicating that the government’s measures are proving effective.

In order to continue on this positive trend to help you maintain social distancing practices, Croatia Week has put together a list of online resources available to attain groceries and household goods via delivery. Many of the websites on our list support domestic producers, so you can feel good about shopping locally and supporting our economy. 

Tvornica Zdrave Hrane

Translating to the Health Food Factory, this retailer provides a range of health food and organic products that are difficult to come by in regular grocery stores.  Products such as coconut oil, alternative flours, international cuisine staples, nuts, seeds, spices, and more are made available at relatively reasonable prices. Plus, their website is available in English and home delivery is available throughout Croatia.

Konzum

This national grocery chain has led the path among its competitors in offering customers a range of options to reduce exposure. In addition to home delivery, Konzum offers a drive-in service at their Zagrebacka avenija 7 location in Zagreb where staff will place your order directly into the trunk of your car. Alternatively, you can select the option to pick up your order at a number of locations throughout the country. For this option, you will have to enter the store to collect your goods and pay for your items at the register, however, it will still reduce the amount of time you’ll spend in-store.

Farmeraj

Zdravi Pinklec

According to the company website, the idea for Zdravi Pinklec was created with the notion that everyone can consume fresh food, regardless of whether they work all day long, or simply don’t know someone who has a “grandmother in Zagorje, an aunt in Slavonia or a neighbor from Lika.” The webstore offers seasonal produce ranging from fresh produce to beans, jams, teas, honeys, and more. Delivery is available throughout Croatia.

Right now we’re in the middle of asparagus season and patiently waiting for the first artichokes to arrive.

Mali plac’s delivery and service are impeccable.
