A late-hours branch by the Ostbahnhof
This is a branch of REWE, set on Am Ostbahnhof in Friedrichshain, and the hours are what make it worth knowing: 6 am to midnight, every day of the week. In a city where Sunday shopping is scarce, that alone puts it on your map.
Start with the pretzels. They hold up as the dependable thing to eat here even when the fresh counters look picked over, and they cost little. The shelves also carry an Italian range beyond the usual groceries, and if you want a coconut water from Rewe to go, ask at the counter — staff have walked people to the far end of the store to find it.
The bottle return machine draws a long queue, heaviest on Sundays. The shop has a fresh salad bar. Cashiers can be fast and patient under pressure at the till.
Spend sits at €10–30 for a basket, which covers a breakfast, a picnic or a late-night restock. Sunday and holiday evenings are the worst time to come — the queues at the tills and the bottle machines swell. Weekday mornings are calmer.
It suits you if you are arriving late, staying near the Ostbahnhof, or need food on a Sunday when most of the city is shut. Come for the hours and the pretzels.

Who is this for
Anyone landing at the Ostbahnhof late and needing a proper shop rather than a kiosk will find the doors still open at midnight. If your trip falls over a Sunday or a public holiday, this branch is the one to remember, since it trades when most Berlin shops don't. And if you want a cheap pretzel and a coconut water to carry off, it does that without fuss.
When you want to eat rather than restock, Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg fills its hall for Streetfood Thursday and gives you a proper market visit instead of a supermarket run.
The verdict
The bottle return queue is long, so this is not a shop to linger in — but for a late-night or Sunday basket in Friedrichshain, the 6 am to midnight hours make it the practical pick.
