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.

I was looking for an asian food market close to my place and I'm so glad this is the one!…read more The store owner, Mr. Yeoh is SO NICE! I only purchase japanese food and love that Mr. Yeoh always has fresh tofu! Although the store is small, there is a great variety of asian products. Strongly recommend if you are in the Langenhorn area.

Andronaco is Italy. Sometimes it does not take many words to explain something. But - you do it…read morewith good reason. Enthusiasm is what it takes to raise the sparse German flow of speech here to Italian level. Only the gesticulation has to be learned by the northern man. Italy, from north to south, from east to west, in fact there is almost everything the country has to offer. In flats, in cans, in jars - or even open. Vegetables, wine, meat and sausage. Bread and of course, very importantly, a part of the Italian attitude to life: pasta. Unless we want to appear embarrassingly pseudo-worldly, we simply call it " noodles". Similar to the range of wine - endless shelves in all colours, shapes and tastes. Andronaco - is Italy, eat italian!

Really good Italian supermarket in Hamburg. You can find a wide selection of typical Italian stuff…read more The 'pasta' area is really huge! I was able to find really specific kind of pasta (that you don't find in German shops, and some neither in Italian too!). The shop has a good selection of olive oil, red/white wine, meet and almost every kind of Italian food. There is also a small Bistro near the entrance if you want to experience some italian food. I had just a minor bad experience with the guy selling cheese. I asked for 100g of 'pecorino romano' and that guy force me to take 200g, just because he said 100g was too less... Please note that prices are a bit higher than usual (especially if you compare with an Italian shop).

My favorite supermarket in the world probably. It helped me lose like 20 pounds within 2 months…read moreafter first moving to Hamburg and I was reluctant to say goodbye when I left. (getting sad while I write this) There is a huge variety of health food including (every single kind of) nut butters + coconut butter, seeds (no chia in Germany), puffed grains(!!!!), goji berries, cocoa butter(for cooking), coconut oil etcetc. (Although I was never able to find coconut water) Special shoutout to the organic quark here. Produce section is small and vegetables are not always the best looking but I always leave with a heavy heavy shopping bag. It can certainly get busy which makes me feel even worse for holding up lines during checkout (you have to pack your own grocery bags). They only sell paper bags here which are not that sturdy so I always brought my plastic. No credit card accepted.

The supermarket that I shop at, Alnatura is part of a nationwide organic chain with, I think,…read morearound 45 stores across Germany. The selection here is great for an organic place, its just as big as some EDEKA in Hamburg. What I like the most about this place is their in-house brand, of which they have a very good selection of products they sell under their own Alnatura name. The prices on these products are generally very good- around or less than what you would pay for a non-organic name brand except, well, organic ;). Their organic cheese selection is good (I recommend the Demeter Bergkäse) and they always have three or four cheeses that are on sale. The one thing that can get expensive here is some non-house brand things as well as fruits and vegetables- I generally only get what I really need and try to get the rest of my veggies at one of the organic open-air markets with regional producers, which usually ends up saving a few Euros (like the one on the Lange Reihe on Fridays).

Came here on Saturday. From what I found out, this market is held every Saturday in Fabrik. Lots of…read moregood food is available, both raw and cooked food. I had an excellent cheesecake that cost me only 3 euros and also a bar is available upstairs On sale were lots of other sweets and pastries, tacos were available and an awesome stall that sold peanut butter but not your typical peanut butter. They sell butter made from pistachio and various other nuts. I guess that makes it pistachio butter. They cost ~6 euros. I'm uncertain if the same stalls are here every week but since this is a market, my guess would be that it probably changes from time to time I highly recommend visiting if in hamburg
