Complete Overview of All Supermarkets in Berlin

Is your fridge empty again and money too tight to order takeout?

Then it's time to head to the nearest supermarket and stock up on groceries.

But with so many options, it's easy to forget where to go.

That's why we've put together an overview of Berlin's supermarkets and the differences between them.

You may have noticed that grocery shopping in Germany is relatively cheap.

This is due to a long tradition of trying to save as much money as possible — ironically making the owners of Germany's most famous discount supermarket Aldi some of the richest people in the country.

But with the rise of organic, high-quality health foods, a lot has changed, and simply being the cheapest supermarket no longer cuts it.

Now all major supermarket chains have at least an organic corner offering higher-priced, higher-quality food.

Of course, there are also chains like Bio Company or Denns that cater exclusively to the environmentally conscious crowd.

So without further ado, here is your ultimate overview of Berlin supermarkets and where to buy groceries.

If you want to find all supermarkets open on Sundays in Berlin, we recommend skipping to the end of this article.

All Supermarkets in Berlin at a Glance

Overview of All Supermarket Chains in Berlin

Edeka

Probably our favorite supermarket in Berlin. Why?

First of all, most Edeka supermarkets are very modern and have a friendly feel when you walk in.

There's plenty of space between the aisles so other shoppers don't bump into you while you're looking for groceries.

What's more, Edeka has high-quality groceries, fresh local fruits and vegetables — also in organic quality.

You'll find all the traditional groceries you'd expect in a supermarket, but on top of that, Edeka tries out the latest trends like coconut water or kombucha.

We'd also like to mention that at Edeka you'll also find their own brand "Gut&Günstig," which is about 20-30% cheaper than comparable products.

Plus, most markets are open late, until around midnight.

Rewe

Coming in a close second is Rewe, our other favorite supermarket in Berlin.

Almost everything we said about Edeka can be applied 1:1 to Rewe.

Open until late, Rewe is the perfect place for late-night shopping when all other supermarkets are already closed.

Rewe also has its own brand "Ja," which is much cheaper than comparable products.

On top of that, you can order online from Rewe and they'll deliver all your groceries to your door.

Aldi

If your budget is a bit tight, Aldi is the best place to buy cheap groceries in Berlin.

Don't worry, cheap here doesn't mean low quality.

On the contrary, Aldi can offer good groceries at low cost because they save a lot on their stores.

The interior isn't as friendly and modern as Rewe or Edeka, the aisles are more compact and packed with goods.

Fewer people work in the stores, and at the checkout counter, everything is faster and with less chat — time is money.

If that doesn't bother you, Aldi is a great choice for cheap groceries.

Lidl

Lidl is very similar to Aldi and targets the same audience.

Cheap groceries mostly from own brands make Lidl a great place to do your shopping.

You'll notice that Lidl supermarkets in Berlin are newer and more modern than Aldi.

Price-wise, there's not much difference between Aldi and Lidl.

Check out their weekly offers because that's where you can really save a lot of money.

Bio Company

Moving on to Berlin's organic supermarkets, starting with our favorite: Bio Company.

About 10 years ago, nobody in Germany would have been willing to spend 2-3 times more on groceries just because they were organic and local.

But times have changed, and one of the earliest and most successful organic supermarket chains in Germany is Bio Company.

You'll find everything you'd expect in a regular supermarket, but in organic quality and of course at a higher price.

Bio Company is known for its excellent meat and cheese.

We really recommend you try it once — you'll agree with us that you can taste the difference.

Denns

Very similar to Bio Company, coming in as our second favorite organic supermarket.

Denns has expanded heavily in Berlin over the past few years, so one of their organic supermarkets is never far from you.

They also have almost everything a regular supermarket offers — just in organic quality, of course.

LPG

As far as we know, LPG (which stands for Lecker, Preiswert und Gesund — Delicious, Affordable, and Healthy) was the first organic supermarket to open in Berlin.

According to their website, they opened their first supermarket in Berlin in 1994, back when nobody even knew what organic was.

What's special about LPG?

You can become a member by paying an annual fee, and with membership, you get discounts on your grocery shopping.

So if you buy a lot there, it's worth calculating whether it saves you money in the long run.

Veganz

This one is special even by Berlin standards.

Veganz has opened 3 supermarkets in Berlin. Everything you can buy there is vegan.

Yes, you read that right: everything is vegan.

So naturally, you won't find organic steak or eggs there, but everything else is just as good, and prices are comparable to other organic supermarkets.

Netto — With Dog and Without Dog

Now it gets a bit confusing.

There are two Netto supermarket chains in Berlin that are completely unrelated to each other.

We Berliners call them Netto mit Hund (Netto with dog) and Netto ohne Hund (Netto without dog).

The reason is simple: one Netto supermarket chain has a black dog as its mascot, while the other doesn't.

That way, you'll be able to tell them apart.

Interestingly, both Nettos have less modern interiors, and the groceries are cheap but good quality.

Penny

Penny is also one of our favorite supermarket chains in Berlin.

On one hand, they target the same audience as Lidl and Aldi.

But on the other hand, they do sell most major brands like Coca-Cola, Haribo, or Milka.

They claim to be the discounter for brands, and that's exactly what they are.

Supermarkets Open on Sundays in Berlin

Why does it always happen on a Sunday evening that you run out of toilet paper or groceries?

One option is to go to your nearest Späti (Spätkauf — usually open 24/7) and buy the basics at double or triple the price.
