Had a fabulous lunch here today! I had gozleme (2 euro) with spinach and feta and it was cooked to perfection. 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! read more

It's no secret that I love me a good Farmer's Market. This one is no exception. 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. read more

I think this is the best food market in Berlin. It's chaotic, busy and it gets straight to the point - great, fresh produce for little money. I've heard someone say that this is as close to a medieval market as you can get in Europe. That sounds pretty accurate to me. The atmosphere next to the canal can be quite festive with people hanging out, chatting and playing guitar. Skip the pretentious, overpriced Winterfeldtplatz market and head here for the real deal. read more

I love this market. If you come here, you will absolutely kick yourself for all the times you overspent on produce at supermarkets. The market is easy to get to, and runs a few blocks along the Spree as it wends its way through Kreuzberg. It is normally quite crowded so be prepared for that. There is a plethora of vendors here, selling everything from fresh melon, to different national varieties of feta cheese, to socks. I usually stick to the food vendors. The produce here tends to be very ripe and fresh, and super-cheap!! You absolutely want to try to buy as much of your produce here as possible, especially fruit. The sights and smells are divine, and if you are having trouble committing to a purchase, most vendors will give you a taste of the produce so you can make sure it is as good as it looks. There are also fish vendors here which is an absolute godsend as I at least have found good, fresh fish to be very hard to come by in Berlin. Head-on shrimp, whole octopus, gorgeous, vibrantly colored red snapper... it's all here. And there are poultry and meat vendors, all selling better, fresher, more artisanal products than what you can usually get in the supermarket. Several vendors sell nuts and dried fruits. One vendor sells eggs, including turkey eggs, which have an interestingly richer taste than the usual chicken eggs. A number of vendors sell various spreads and salads: mostly an array of feta-cheese based pastes, perhaps with paprika or spinach or sundried tomatoes mixed in, and salads such as tabbouleh or kisir (cous-cous with tomato paste, scallions, sundried tomatoes and cucumber). There are other ready-made items here that make a perfect quick lunch, in case you work up a hunger while perusing the stalls. One of my favorites is borek, a Turkish flatbread with a choice of fillings, such as spinach and feta or ground beef, and sometimes wrapped around some lettuce and tomatoes. Yummy! Oftentimes, the folks selling these kinds of snacks are also selling great big loaves of delicious Turkish breads which you should definitely try if you are unfamiliar with Turkish baked goods. So yummy. So yes, don't give this market a miss! *DO bring cash. The vendors are fine about making change even for larger bills, but they definitely do not accept cards of any kind. *You do not need to speak German to shop here, although it certainly helps. A number of tourists shop here and pretty much all the vendors are used to transacting in English. *The market gets quite crowded and the sidewalks are awfully narrow. Even if you didn't stop to buy anything, it would take you around half an hour to navigate your way through it. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE... Open on Tuesday and Fridays it is a decent size food market with tons of vegetables, fruits, spices, food vendors, jewelry, clothing, fabric, trinkets, coffee, desserts and fresh meat.. There is just a ton of wonderful things here at the Turkish Market. Easy to get to and you can not miss it. It does get super crowded and some people walk so slow that it is a bit annoying. Especially when the women with the massive strollers tend to rudely run over your feet or bump into you. So it gets cramped but do yourself a favor and visit this place. I picked up enough fresh fruit and vegetables so that I could make breakfast and dinner at my flat so it helps in saving money while visiting. The highlight was the fresh organic juice. How i miss having that. Someone who is used to juicing every morning while traveling misses such small little treats and for 4€ you can have a massive bottle of freshly squeezed juice. The walk along the canal is also nice. There are random musicians playing to crowds which a re pretty good and groups of the younger crowd which many would refer to them as "hipsters" I just refer to them as having a sense of style will gather with beer and hang out along the canal. It's worth a visit. Bring cash, (the vendors do not accept cards) bring yourself a tote it makes it much easier to carry stuff than the flimsy plastic ones they give you and bring your appetite! Tons of good food vendors here! read more

I just went here for the first time and I love the 'Turkish market.' It really gives off some sort of Oriental/African vibe and the smell of the stalls that sell spices reminded me of my visit to Marrakesh. The market has everything to offer from fruits, meats, spices, bread, cheese to jewelry, fabric, and clothes. And it's really cheap especially if you buy in bulk (i.e. 10 lemons for €1, but 1 for 30cent). I loved strolling around, trying things here and there and the visitors are very diverse with Turkish moms, tourists, yuppies, and everything in between. BUT because the market is so amazing and the vendors only take cash, only bring as much money as you want to spend, because likely you will spend it all. The area is really nice as well with little cafes to rest after the market visit and some stalls in the market also sell coffee and food. Overall I will definitely we going back here, but likely in the evening right after work. read more

This is a great market. Living just around the corner I come here frequently for my weekly discus of veggies and fruits. Buy things in bulk cause they are much cheaper. Vendors often also just give you something for free if you buy a lot. You will find many things here: handmade bags, jewelry, carpets, fabrics and much more. In summer it's beautiful to wander around the streets and stop for a coffee in between and enjoying the sun while doing a little bit of shopping. Remember that Germany doesn't have a big credit card culture and that you bring enough cash to pay for everything! read more

As a bazaar, this place is great. You can can find most everything you need to cook a fresh meal here: produce, meat or fish, cheese, eggs, spices, even potato peelers and other kitchen gadgets. You can also enjoy hot food from carts, or pick up all matter of stuffed peppers and grapeleaves and interesting spreads from the Turkish specialty carts. Everything is quite inexpensive, especially at the end of the day, and the vendors always treated me fairly, even before I spoke German. As a destination for specifically *local* produce, alas, this market is sorely lacking. Only a small percentage of offerings (even seasonal ones) are from Brandenburg, and the majority of items are imported. This can be exciting when you want a source for, say, pomegranates, but if you're (like me) missing your hometown's producers-only farmers market, you'll be disappointed. Best to take this place for what it is: a bustling, outdoor, shopping experience with ample opportunity for people watching. read more

A great market to see musicians and eat wonderful foods. I was finally able to try Turkish Delight here and it was wonderful. The vendors are typically kind and speak at least some English. The area had wonderful street art. The downside to such a great place is lack of room. It is very crowded and the crowd moves like a river pulling you along with them. Also beware when shopping, while food is well priced, other items, like shirts, bags and jewelry can be way marked up. read more

Also household items, clothes, cleaning stuff, and much more else. Everything for a GREAT price!!!! read more

Ich liebe es, hier einkaufen zu gehen. Man findet hier (fast) alles was das Herz begehrt, von Obst und Gemüse, Brot, Antipasti und Gewürzen bis hin zu Stoffen, Haushaltsgegenständen und Schmuck. Vor oder nach dem Einkauf kann man bei Kaffee, frischem Saft oder einem afrikanischen Gericht den Klängen der Straßenmusiker lauschen oder einfach das bunte Markttreiben beobachten (das Publikum ist äußerst bunt gemischt und interessant und reicht vom Hipster bis zur türkischen Oma). Immer wieder schön. read more

Good place to buy some middle eastern food products. Or something else. usually there are some old geezers selling bicycles too, so if you don't have one you can get that from there. I bought my GDR-made Diamant for 30 euros, and didn't even hackle the price down. So you can make good deals there and get a decent bike for way chepear than in bikeshops. read more

I'm seriously in love with this place! I try to go as much as I can. Usually get fresh vegetables, spreads, meat, and breads to enjoy in one of the parks in the area or at home with friends. A must see for anyone visiting Berlin! read more
