Fantastic products, fantastic experience overall, but BEWARE, if you buy packaged food, they will not let you exchange it, even if it is unopened and you have the receipt. Also, there is a bathroom attendant, so expect to pay some Euros to use (unexpected for a store of this caliber). read more

Why, oh why can we not have a department store like this in Los Angeles?!? Of all places in the world, we could keep it busy. Espeically at the Beverly Center, Americana, or Grove! This store has at least six GIANT floors (I didn't get past six as we ran out of time and I think we spent most of it on the sixth floor) and had pretty much everything you could ever imagine. As it is in Germany, all the clothing and furniture were very Euro style which is chic and modern. If I lived in Berlin, I probably wouldn't shop anywhere else. Someday we'll have to discuss why the clothes in Europe are so much better, but another time... The sixth floor of this shopper's haven is an upscale grocery store/restauarnt. Groceries are cheap here and the assortment of chocolate and cheese is something one dreams about and is maybe only outdone by heaven itself! If in Berlin, do NOT forget to go here! read more

DO NOT eat at the buffet! they overcharge for what is essentially self serve cafeteria food. We ended up paying 60 euros for a plate of fruit and two small plates of vegetables and pasta which is absurd especially in berlin. you can find way better for less than half the price. obvious tourist trap. read more

One of Europe's largest department stores. If you're not into fashion, visit the huge deli/food floor.

Super upscale option. Beautiful looking displays. No waited time for cooking food if you choose the cafeteria style options. I could spend hours looking. There's 5 floors excluding the top two floors which are all food. Wish they weren't closed on Sundays but great for their employees. read more

Interesting to see. Obviously a top destination for shopping, given that they carry all the top designers, but for the few things I could compare, I found the prices non-competitive with US department stores. Still, worth a trip just to see. I would argue that they are almost on the same level as Harrod's in London and better than Macy's in Herald Square New York (but I would say Bergdorf Goodman in NY is still the top in presentation). read more

Great place to go eat so much selection that is crazy good. For sure a good stop and I'm not the shopper but glad I stopped.

Great customer service, and in English, no less. Not crowded and stuffy like the Galeria Kaufhof at Alexanderplatz.

Except selling cars, it's a German Harrod's. You can find everything here. And the eatery experience is wonderful here. You just want to eat everything. Cake shops and coffees were also great. Clothes? I guess they are a bit expensive. I really lked the underground station at the square in front of the building. read more

Very large. Is a mix between Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. You can walk without bumping in to people and the houseware floor is more than excellent. read more

This might be the best department store I have ever shopped in, including those in Japan, as well as Harrod's. In particular, I loved the food courts, and the wine floors. They have everything, including the famous wine gummires from England. And the selection of Champagne bears close resemblance to France itself. The Moet champagne bar was a real treat. While the clothing could be laid out better, this is still the best place in the city. read more

KaDeWe beats Harrods out of the water. No competition. The tea and coffe section is fantastic and I found some stuff there which I haven't found anywhere else. read more

This is simply a place that you have to visit. I am not sure that I would actually choose this place to go do real shopping but its just part of the Berlin culture that you have to experience. read more

When entering KaDeWe you are catapulted to a world of opulence, impervious to outside realities, indifferent to the shortages of WWI, deterred on the post days of WWII only through the direct impact of an Allies' bomber. Here you could purchase your dress for the next gala to "Fight hunger in Africa" from designers such as Galliano or Jana von Furstenberg that were able to put aside their differences and share neighboring booths. Thousands of locals and tourists gather here to celebrate human perfection and when not perfect a dent can always be put in place with enough mascara from the cosmetic department located at the ground level. The women and men clothing departments are found on the first and second floor and gather collections of top designers intertwined with more "affordable brands" such us Guess and Scotch&Soda. It is old European class system meets post Adam Smith world where lineage is important only if noted in Euro bills. Ascending the escalators to the third floor you find the home section to stock up your apartments with enough glitz to make even Marie Antoinette blush. You will sit at the refrigerators' section to listen to a lecture about the difference between a German refrigerator that will last for a life time and a Korean brand that while functional it isn't a given that you will be able to passed it on to future generations. The porcelain section is breathtaking and in the silverware quarter you will be able to purchase a Menorah, in case you were looking for one. The fourth floor is slightly more conventional with TVs, sounds systems and alike that while targeted for the well to do aren't necessarily neck rubbing. The fifth floor and my favorite is the food court. Here you can find delicatessen, an interesting collection of wines and beers from around the world, a rare out-side-of-france presence of Le Notre is a pleasant surprised and extremely stimulating to the palate. read more

Really great luxury department store with a wonderful gourmet floor and bistro restaurants. We sat down after hours of shopping, having a glass of Prosecco, enjoying the surrondings. read more

OMG. Definitely not WalMart. Friends tried to explain the mystique of KaDeWe, but until you walk in, you just cannot comprehend the stuff -- expensive stuff -- they have. Definitely the mother church for western consumerism. So many things I wanted to buy, but when I'm on a walmart budget, it ain't gonna happen. If you're a foodie you've got to see the food floor. Fresh sturgeon anybody? read more

This is an interesting place. It's a little hard to navigate the food floor- things seem pretty scattered around. Chocolate here, chocolate there- hard to pinpoint any definite thing you are looking for. We gave up trying to find what we actually needed and ended up with 29 euros worth of chocolate and a bottle or wine. I think if I really needed something in particular, I'd go to Gallerie Lafayette- because even though they can be rude and snooty, the store is well organized. Ka De Wa is bigger- and there are lots and lots of food choices. Bring money- lots of it. But there were deals to be had if you looked closely. We got some delightful cookies on sale (3 euros for a box) and some great cheese that was also on sale. And they do have many things you won't find anywhere else. We didn't really look at the other floors- since we just wanted a gourmet item (that we could not find.) If you're a tourist- you can take the 100 bus and get very close (like within 2 blocks) read more

Just like Harrods and a wonderful food court that you could spend several hours walking around this place is packed so come early and take your tine . Not to many bargains to be had here from a clothing point of view but still worth a look. Did I mention the food hall it has the wow factor. read more

I want to live here. Kind of like in those zombie movies where they always take shelter in a deserted mall only to be ripped apart later in the sports store. Right? They should have staying in the Macy's bedding department. If I took refuge here I would probably have to bring a team to work the food stations though- those oysters aren't going to shuck themselves. read more

An amazing department store filled with everything your heart desires, only to be topped by one of the most fabulous food courts ever! They have every kind of cuisine. We had a variety of burgers, beef, chicken and lamb. All of them delicious with really interesting toppings and sauces!!! We then spent an hour perusing the toy section which was also fantastic!! They had every kind of Lego, an interesting collection of foam swords/shields and beautiful stuffed animals. read more

5 stars for the AMAZING food court!! The place that serves Sausages was the best I had while in Germany!!! The sauerkraut and mustards served with them where sooo good. read more

The food on the fifth floor is why people come here. It lives up to any level of high expectations. Similar to Harrods in London or Galeries Lafayette in Paris read more

A very big and well decorated shopping mall in the heart of Berlin. Some very nice shops here and some great little places to eat at a price. read more

Walking past thin sweaters that are €200 right when you get in doesn't exactly set the mood for me. For me It was a pretty place to use the bathroom, walk quickly thru and leave. If I'm going to drop money on dining it won't be in a shopping mall. read more

pretty much a selfrides but with a west german touch. if you aint been av a look. ourside on fridays the markets are open ofcourse they aint too cheap neither but they gots flowers from all over the world.erm if u like flowers, shop has a lot of different expensive stuff. if u got money to burn then go hee and burn it! read more

There really is no need to say anything. If you want it, they have it. Gorgeous displays, to die for deserts. While the prices are what you expect given the style of the store, staff are very helpful even with small purchases. You need to see it even if you don't want to but anything. read more

Love this place. Reminds me of Barney's and Bergdorf Goodman in NYC. The burger joint on the top floor was amazing too. KADEWE is the one stop shop for everything you need on the West side of Berlin. read more

Level 0 ok , dobre marki tiffany, gucci , chanel, etc , level 1/2/3/4... Domy towarowe 90' masakra mess

This place is all about what you make it.Need anything fresh for cooking then the 6th floor food is your shop for every and any product you once bought 'anywhere'. They'll have it read more

A place to be in Berlin, must for every visitor

KaDeWe is a Berlin institution of sorts, but all the fine hosiery, perfumes, jewels and chocolates would be nothing without the top floor. It is an absolute must for food lovers with rows and rows of some of the most wonderful fish, veggies, cheeses and delicacies I have ever laid eyes on. They have a great international selection, too, so American ex-pats in need of good old canned pumpkin pie filling, Kraft macaroni and cheese or whatever they need will find a little section of the grocery store just for this purpose. The food court serves some of the schnitzel and beer in town. I always bring visitors here after Tauentzienstraße shopping trips. The top floor is one of my favorite things in west Berlin. read more

The KaDeWe or Kaufhaus des Westens (English "Department Store of the West"), is Berlin's Harrods and a great place for window shopping and experiencing classical elegance. There's always a new exhibition at the main entrance, but head over to Karlstadt or Galeria at Alexanderplatz for value for money. read more

Huge food hall, probably the largest in Europe. Much larger and wider selection of products vs. Harrod's food hall. Prices are more reasonable vs. Harrods too. Great place to visit for foodies! read more

This is just a giant department store, and not a visually interesting one at that. Unless you have big Euros to drop, you probably won't find this interesting, save for the food level. read more

Exactly what it purports to be - a luxury emporium. Fun to explore, the food is reasonably priced and beautifully presented. It's a fun way to while away an hour during a rain storm. It's a visual treat. read more

Great, amesome place. You find any luxurius goods you need, Rolex, Waterman, Cartier and lots of german and foregin food.

Make sure you visit KaDeWe when visiting Berlin. Mega department store with floor after floor of goods, from designer clothes to fantastic Belgian chocolates to fresh meats. Top floor has a restaurants where a variety of ethnic foods cans be found. if visiting in summer months, remember the Germans would rather sweat than have good old American air conditioning. read more

Beautiful, classical department store. The food floor is an absolute delight. Good for finding American ingredients for Thanksgiving dishes.

I give the food section a 3/4. There is an impressive variety, but in a lot of categories, nothing you can't find elsewhere (and more conveniently). In other categories, they seem to have the market cornered on variety. So, hit and miss. If you are preparing something that has a LOT of hard to find ingredients, start here, and fill in the gaps elsewhere, if gaps remain. But I wouldn't necessarily head here first for just one or two ingredients, since the headache of parking, making it all the way upstairs, and then dodging the tourists only to pay over the odds when all is said and done balances out much of the convenience of a wide selection. Karstadt carries a pretty wide range too and is often much more convenient. Agreed that the individual food stands are great, and make a fun afternoon if you want to hop around from one to the next (though many serve full restaurant size servings). For the Americans, definitely don't go here looking for that certain food you're homesick for. They carry almost exactly the same selection that everyone else claiming to carry American food has (I assume it's all coming from one distributor): marshmallows, peanut butter, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, pancake mix, 5 or 6 varieties of Campbell's soup (but not the good ones), Newman's dressing, microwave popcorn, Hershey's Syrup, etc. Frightening what we're known for, really. read more
