Berlin grocery shopping, as a way to see the city

Berlin shops without ceremony, and its shops are where that shows. A Späti on the corner is open when everything else has given up, and a supermarket aisle here reads like a map of who moved to the city and stayed — Turkish, Vietnamese, Polish and Syrian shelves sitting beside the German staples, in the same shop, at prices that still surprise people arriving from elsewhere.

This is a guide to those shops rather than to the bars around them. Every entry is researched and confidence-checked before it publishes: what the place is genuinely good for, when to arrive, and what is worth carrying out. A late bottle on the way to somewhere, a Sunday when the supermarkets are shut, and an afternoon spent working through an international aisle are three different errands, so start with the mood that matches yours, or read the city one neighborhood at a time.

What are you in the mood for?

Skip the alphabetical list. Pick a craving or a moment and we will point you at the shelves that answer it — from 3am snack runs to suitcase-worthy souvenirs.
