Gluten-free review: I am a bit confused which Edeka I went to while in Hamburg. I believe it was…read morethis one, which is a medium-sized corner market- like a big market for NYC, but small-ish for any other city stateside. I believe there might be a much larger Edeka (not Edeka Kraus) just up the street (5-10 minute walk) in a shopping center. However, Edeka Kraus was closest to my hotel and had everything I needed: a gluten free section, fresh fruit, water, and dairy products. The gluten free section is, like most markets and DMs I went to in Hamburg and Berlin, primarily Schar products. However, Schar has a much bigger range here than in the US. There were also products by Bahlsen not available in the US and a few other things. Just like at every other market in Italy/Germany/Switzerand, be sure you take your own bags. Particular to Germany: not all markets have credit card machines. I paid cash here, as did everyone else I saw, but it appeared they had a credit card machine, too. Not sure if they charge extra for using it.

Of all the Edeka's I've been to in Hamburg, this is definitely one of the nicest. It's in a brand…read morenew building and is much larger than your standard Edeka so you're not walking on top of each other. Selection is perhaps a tad better than at the others in the area, but it's still not the spot to find that obscure pack of American brown sugar or a halfway decent selection of cheeses (my bar there is admittedly really high). Prices are on par with other Edeka's in the area: high enough to let you know you're paying too much but not so Whole Foods-absurd to convince you to walk 10 more blocks to a cheaper place. Pfand machine is rarely in use and works really well, which doesn't appear to be the norm around here. There is a parking deck in the back (entrance is on Hahnemannstraße), and I *think* they validate for an hour or so. I live just above this store, so I've never had to actually use that. There is also a bakery and DM upstairs, so you could kill 3 birds with one stone. The bread at the bakery and Edeka is definitely a rip off, but it's good and convenient if you're short on time.

Supermarket located underground. The prices are lower than other Edeka supermarkets. They have a…read morebig salad bar and you can make your own bowl. It is better to go before 1pm during the week because a lot of people come there for lunch.

I love this place. It's nearby to my office and it took me a while to find it as well. As in the…read morereview below, it's a great place to grab lunch. In addiiton to being a supermarket, the salad bar rocks. It's always fresh and I take the large box and never pay more than 5 Euro. Let me be clear....this is a salad with everything which more or less stuffs you. The selection in the supermarket itself is a bit thin but what do you expect from a supermarket in the middle of town. You'll find everything you need...there just won't be 10 different brands offering each product. In summary, a hidden gem in the middle of town!
