It's similar to Harrods in London or the magnificent department stores found in Tokyo. Oh my! You can get anything here! Amazing pastries, high end chocolates, charcuterie, huge cheese counters, smoked fish of all varieties, fine wines, specialty restaurants and much, much more. We enjoyed delicious crab sandwiches. I think they may have been the best sandwiches i ever had. Stop reading and get over to KaDeWe right now. Highly recommend.

It's huge and an absolute treat shopping here and I haven't even discussed the two food floors on 6 & 7. Wow. The quality of their offerings is impressive and upscale while also somewhat eclectic as well. We also found their prices to be fair and not obnoxious. Service throughout the store, is old style personal and friendly. We were always warmly greeted, in a sincere way. Nice!

Date of visit: May 31, 2024…read more We were staying near this store while in Berlin and stopped in to see what it was about. For the Americans reading this, it was in the vein of Macy's or maybe even a step above, like a Dillard's or Nordstrom's. The store was in very nice condition, from the floors to the fixtures and general upkeep of the store. The prices on the clothing were definitely out of my realm, especially once factoring in the exchange rate from the Euro! I was a little bummed that there wasn't anything affordable that I could bring back for myself, especially a brand that you don't see here in the States, but that just wasn't happening. The one section you should check out is the candy and food as those prices seemed far more reasonable for what you were getting. As we still had two countries to go, we opted not to purchase anything here; had Berlin been our final stop, I would have selected some things to take home as souvenirs. Despite spending 20-25 minutes in the store, not a single employee approached or interacted with us in any way, even the severe-looking woman working just a couple tables away from us in the men's clothing section. Guess she knew I wasn't going to buy anything, either!

There's really not much to this place, and though I have passed by it several times, I only even…read morepaid attention when I was looking for a Postbank in the area. Essentially, the plaza looks like the lobby of a hotel, with very dated tiles and lighting. On the ground floor, there are a few restaurants (one Thai, one Bavarian, one Italian), a Mäc-Geiz, a Postbank, a hair salon that reaks of perm solution, and a Fielmann. Maybe a few other places but nothing memorable. Otherwise, it's all offices for rent. Not terribly exciting. I don't really see a reason why anyone would go out of his or her way to come here, but I guess if you work in this office, it might be convenient to have these places nearby (plus a Rossmann next door).

All your needs in one place.

Beautiful department store in the middle of Berlin…read more I've seen my fair share of fancy and high-end department stores throughout the U.S. and Korea, but Quartier 206 has such a unique character and interior that I devoted time to wandering around the entire department store. I was there to buy some Santa Maria Novella products, and the staff was helpful, accommodating, friendly. Did not blink at my lack of German. Great dept. store - rec. highly!

Had to stay in the street and wait before they let me in....security guy barked at me when i bite my sandwich in the hallway and pointed to some card that apparently said "no food!" Ok but the girl next to me ate her food and had no problem))) never mind I thought...luxury stores in Berlin have strict policies, behave yourself))) so 10 minutes later i could finally enter the perfume department. I searched for a specific perfume, named it 5-6 times to the assistant but he kept rolling his eyes as if i just made it up and know nothing of niche perfume brands...))) had to google it and show the picture to prove that the perfume exists! This very fact kind of perplexed him)) Bottom line: i didnt feel comfortable at all, the experience is not worth it. Gallerie la fayette next door is better. PS: and no the selection of perfumes did not impress me at all. Online retailers from Munich and Hamburg offer a much more interesting selection.
