I love that I can rely on Lidl to have fresh tomatoes, lettuce, fruits, etc., for a fair and competitive price. Would never shop at Rewe, Kaisers, and especially Aldi, when I can go to Lidl. I say 4 stars because beyond produce their selection is a bit lacking.

With the exception of maybe the Friedrichshain location tucked a few blocks from the main street,…read morethe Bio Company does a pretty good job of placing its stores at crucial intersections or on busy thoroughfares. This store is certainly no exception, and although I haven't frequented it often (it's maybe my second-closest store), seeing a sign advertising it while walking up Erkstraße on a Friday evening was a nice reminder that I needed to pick up a few things that I had been neglecting on buying all week. And so it was easy enough to alter my route so that it ran straight down Sonnenallee. I came in around 8:45, but didn't even realize the time, because the lights were still bright and the people active and friendly. None of that "closing down and going home early" vibe, which is nice because rushing during grocery shopping is no fun. This location is not too big (the Skalitzer Straße one is bigger, I think), nor too small (like on Friedrichstraße) and had most everything I wanted. I wandered around and got my items on the list, plus some tea that was reduced, and headed up to a line that was 3-people deep. Another employee promptly came over and directed me to his register, and I was out of there a minute later. Good service! Overall, all Bio Company stores are good for finding certain rare or more vegan-friendly items. As the name suggests, they're also good for finding "bio" items, but I am not inclined to buy the bio item all the time, because that's not necessarily better. Either way, the prices can be ridiculous but at the same time, when you find a good deal, it's always best to go for it. It's hard to go wrong here.
