Had a fabulous lunch here today! I had gozleme (2 euro) with spinach and feta and it was cooked to…read moreperfection. It was crispy, yet soft, and had just the right amount of filling. I also tried nussecken (2.20 euro) for the first time for dessert and it was delicious! It's nutty and chocolatey with a soft crust. My friend who lives in Berlin got 4 peaches and a cucumber for 1.50 euro and a meter of fabric for 2 euro. She comes here every week for groceries. The prices are fantastic here!

It's no secret that I love me a good Farmer's Market. This one is no exception…read more There are tons and tons of things to buy; my favourite is the produce stands. Compared to local shops, the fresh fruits and vegetables are much cheaper, and sometimes even better quality. A recent trip yielded avocados, pumpkin, and arugula, and that was a show of restraint. There's so much more to be had, including meats and cheeses, snacks from food stands, practical household items, fabrics and craft-y things, clothing and jewelry, and more. Check it! The one disadvantage is the tight quarters. I'm used to markets with rows and rows and plenty of space, and this one is just along the sidewalk. The side up against the water is particularly crowded, with stalls on either side, making it a bit of an annoyance to walk through all the people. The flow of the crowd is generally smooth, albeit slow-going, but every once in awhile you'll find the stallers, who stand directly in front of what you're interested in and spend five minutes discussing the pros and cons of buying it. If you know what you want to get, this is a perfect place to go. However, if you're looking for a leisurely experience spent strolling up and down the market, go somewhere else.

Small (but robust) street market with everything from meats to cheeses to breads and produce. As…read moreper the extremely lovely standard in Germany: everything very local and high quality. This was mere blocks from my temporary station in Prenzlauer Berg and I so enjoyed drifting over on a weekend morning to pack a picnic (take it to one of many nearby parks and sit in the hopeful sunshine!) and peruse the wares. I picked up several very cute scarves for friends and some jewelry for my mother from different stalls. It spans 2-3 blocks, so while its not large...it packs a punch. Easily scooped up fresh ingredients, cheese, bread and vegetables/fruits for the next few days of meals (when I actually assemble things on my own!). A very nice supplement to the supermarket and I really enjoyed interacting with the local owners of the shops while getting coffee, tea and the like. *protip bonus: beautiful flowers to take home and arrange! *bring cash and a few good bags to carry your haul. *watch out for kids/strollers (this is Prenzlberg, after all)

Awesome market with local farmers (fresh vegetables, fresh breads tasty cheeses and olive oils are…read moremy favorite) great street music and the yummiest Falafel in town. Great for a chilled saturday afternoon walk, and getting to know Prenzlauer Berg.

One of the better organic shops along Schoenhauser Allee. The gluten-frei Buchweizen crackers are…read morecheaper here than Alnatura. The odd -store layout can lead to shopping cart traffic jams. The best place to get cheese in the area as they wrap it in wax paper, so no plastisciers(sp?) can get into your cheese from plastic wrap. Also really good lettuce selection, usually better than Viv.

This was one of the nicest grocery stores I found during my week throughout Germany. The layout is…read morea little funky, but everything's organized really nicely otherwise; it reminds me of a Trader Joe's. The thing I really liked was that they had a bakery up front with really inexpensive rolls and breads.

This is my favorite Asian supermarket in Berlin! It's not the largest or the cheapest but the…read moreconvenient location, good selection & friendly staff keeps me coming back. This is also the only place that I have found that sells the super delicious and healthy Pate di'Arachide variety of peanut butter. They don't have a very large produce section but what they do sell is usually fresh looking and relatively cheap. The coriander bunches from here are always more fresh than at the other Asian markets near me. Also the store is always very clean and well organized. Most of all, the location is great. It is right off of Alexplatz, close to an U-Bahn entrance, and next door to Alexa shopping center so you can stop in for a Starbucks on your way home!

Immer wenn ich in Asia-Laeden gehe habe ich das Gefuehl in eine Art Kramladen zu gehen…read more unübersichtlich und bis zur Decke mit Stuff vollgepackt. Der Asia-Markt Lee in den S-Bahnboegen am Alex ist da anderes. Alles mMn übersichtlich, aber trotzdem seeehr reichhaltige Auswahl für jeden Asiakochexperten ( sry aber dazu kann ich mich leider nicht zählen ), sollte ich jemals in der Lage sein koennen etwas feines asiatisches zuzubereiten werde ich hier alles passende finden :D in der zwischenzeit lass ich mich verköstigen :P
