I love this place because it is a true gem for Indian items. It is located in a backyard in a…read moregarage store on Bülowstr. in Schöneberg. It has all Indian spices, some hair and skin products. Alcohol, incense and Indian snacks. The prices are great as it is a retailer. I go there at least twice a month for the paneer cheese. So regarding the items, I would give it 5 stars. However, each time I go there I am treated really badly. The people working there are simply rude towards women. At times they leave me waiting at their register for a long time, even though they see me. Nor do they reply to thank yous and goodbyes. Any questions are answered briefly and with a certain look on their faces that shows a general annoyance. Luckily, I am not really bothered by it, as it might be a cultural thing, and still continue going there because I truly benefit from their items and prices :).

Ich schreibe sonst nie Bewertungen, vor allem keine schlechten... ABER das Verhalten des Personals…read morewar so dermaßen daneben, ich kann mich nicht erinnern jemals so aus dem Nichts angeschrien worden zu sein und mich lässt dieses Erlebnis echt nicht los. Ich hatte extra vorher angerufen, ob Hunde erlaubt seien, da hieß es "Ja, natürlich". Vor Ort stellte ich fest, dass einige Räume doch sehr eng sind. Da ich Sorge hatte, dass meine beiden Golden Retriever etwas beschädigen könnten (durch Wedeln mit der Rute), habe ich sie an einer geräumigen Stelle am Rand abgelegt. Ich hielt auch Rücksprache mit der Mitarbeiterin, fragte ob die Hunde hier stören würden und wenn ja sie mir jederzeit Bescheid sagen soll, dann würde ich die Hunde umplatzieren. Sie gab an, dass es ok sei, dass die Hunde dort liegen. Nachdem ich eine ganze Weile im Laden die richtigen Perlen gesucht hatte und die Hunde die ganze Zeit brav am Rand lagen, kam auf einmal der Mitarbeiter zu mir und fing an mich anzuschreien. Das mit den Hunden hier ginge gar nicht, ich sei schon viel zu lange im Laden, das sei ihr wichtigster Verkaufstag und sie würden im besten Raum liegen usw. Ich war völlig perplex und meinte nur, ich bin gleich fertig. Dann lief er eine Runde durch den Laden kam zurück und schrie mich erneut an, mir kamen bereits die Tränen und ich bat ihn nur aufzuhören, mich so anzumachen. Ich bereue es, aber ich habe die Perlen trotzdem gekauft, weil ich nicht den Nerv hatte für ein Geschenk zwei Tage vor Weihnachten noch in einen anderen Laden zu gehen.

Omgosh what an Amazing store. I was looking for a few beads for my project and walked out with more…read morethan expected. This is the IKEA of bead stores. There are so many!! If you cannot find it here then it probably doesn't exist. The lady working was so kind and helpful. She helped me and I ended up buying more sue to her great tip. I feel like the prices are fair and some cheaper. I've only purchased online in bulk but here you can buy 1 or many. She even showed me beads in plastic containers that were around €2 that were older but you get a lot for the price. Just don't get hooked because they are no longer carried there that's why so cheap. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend to anyone looking for beads or Jewelry making. Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous store!!!

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.

When I stayed in Berlin, the Market am Winterfeldplatz was my go-to Farmer's Market. An easy jaunt…read moreon the metro, this market was chosen for its insane selection of eclectic food, beverage, and independent goods. I stuffed myself silly on cheese, freshly squeezed juices, and cuisine from every point between Bavaria to Istanbul. Also, there is a darling park just across a bike lane so if you want to eat picnic style you have only to bring a blanket!

Discovered this small outdoor market while wandering Berlin on foot. It's located in a residential…read moreneighborhood and was bustling with locals doing their weekend shopping. It's a great way to put your finger on the pulse of the people who live and work in Berlin. We were mixing with the elderly, young hipsters, and cute neighborhood kids. This market doesn't cater to tourists, which is most refreshing, but we still were welcomed by the folks selling their wares. This is a food market first and foremost. There were many stands featuring fresh produce and fruit, and others with meat, cheeses, bulk spices, eggs, and baked goods. If you're looking for a market with tons of snacks, this place will fit the bill! I noticed a lot of international cuisine, all cooked on the fly by people of the said nationality. One of my favorite things I ate here was the vegetarian gözleme, a traditional savory Turkish flatbread stuffed with spinach. Other culinary highlights included a fresh grilled knoblauchwurst sausage 2.50 Euros) and the freshest orange juice ever (squeezed to order). Rounding out the offerings were some gorgeous flower stands and a couple of booths selling handmade soaps and bath products. Prices were cheap and the market friendly. It was very crowded, I was bumping into people left and right, but it was also the weekend so that should be expected.

In a world that's drowning in unnecessary packaging and plastic I applaude the no-packaging idea of…read moreOriginal Unverpackt. And I quite enjoy the interior design. But overall the shop sadly does not really sing the tempting buy-me-song. I love that they have so many vegan smoothies and drinks in bottles and the fresh vegetables section does look fresh. In the end I only bought a small bag (those fabrics bags are very cute and easy to reuse) with unpacked pumpkin seeds. Which I later realised they had charged way over the usual price for them - probably due to a babel of tongues. Nice but *slightly* befuddled staff. Not a place I'd go out of the way to visit, but if you live in the area I'm sure it's good for basic, eco-friendly (and vegan) shopping.

This grocery store has been getting some press on english language websites and is pushing a neat…read moreconcept: no more packaging. It's a crowdfunded startup and hopefully will expand as the current store is pretty small. And as with any grocery, it only works for people who live nearby. I also couldn't tell it it will fly for people to bring their own containers or buy new jars/containers every time you go. The scoop bins and lever release shoots are just like those in the bulk section of whole foods and other coops in the U.S but there you have handy plastic bags which goes against the idea of OU. I just came to check this store out and don't feel good about rating it will update if I ever get back to buy anything. The produce looked good, they have an excelling selection of bulk spices, grains and legumes. The design is right on and the idea is great for the planet but I'm not sure about the convenience factor.
