What this Prenzlauer Berg branch is like
This is a branch of REWE in Prenzlauer Berg, set in the basement of the Arkaden on Schönhauser Allee. The space is modern and freshly renovated, with a fresh produce area that takes up more room than you might expect for a store this size.
What is worth buying here starts at the small sushi counter, where you can pick up a snack or lunch without leaving the shop. You can also pre-order donuts; a batch of 25 comes out at a good price for the quality. In the drinks fridge, the chilled non-alcoholic beer is the detail worth knowing about if you want something cold that isn't a soda.
The layout is where things get awkward. The packing area behind the checkouts sits between a wall and a pillar, so when two people use the tables the outer ends fill up and the middle seats become hard to reach. Expect to pack at the till instead.
Spending here is ordinary supermarket money, roughly €10–30 for a basket. Cards and cash both work. Come before 10 pm on a weekday or Saturday; Sunday the doors are shut.
For a quick, well-located shop with a sushi counter and a donut order, it still does the job.
What to look for
Sushi counter
A small counter inside the store for a snack or lunch break, no need to go elsewhere.
Pre-ordered donuts
You can place an advance order; a batch of 25 comes at a price that matches the quality.
Chilled non-alcoholic beer
Kept cold in the drinks fridge, an alternative to a cold soda.
The pick list
What to bring home
Freshly prepared sushi
A small sushi counter sits inside the store, a quick option for a snack or lunch break.
Pre-ordered donuts
Advance orders are possible for donuts, and the quality and price both hold up.
Chilled non-alcoholic beer
The drinks fridge carries chilled non-alcoholic beer, which is the thing to reach for when a cold soda is not what you want.
Who is this for
This suits a traveler staying in Prenzlauer Berg who wants a late, ordinary supermarket shop without crossing the city. It also works for anyone after a quick lunch from the sushi counter or a pre-ordered box of donuts. If you are arriving by U-Bahn at Prenzlauer Allee and need a basket of essentials before 10 pm, it is the practical stop.
If you need something after 10 pm, Späti Spätdienst on the same street keeps cup noodles on the shelf until 1 am.
The verdict
It is a modern, well-placed branch with a sushi counter and late hours, but empty shelves in the produce section mean it suits a quick errand rather than a full weekly shop.
