Top 5 vegan shops in Berlin

While it’s not that hard to find good quality veggies in Berlin, it might be a little trickier to discover some proper animal product alternatives - be it vegan 'cheezes', 'tofurkys', nutritional yeasts or much more. While I was scouting for our VeganBerlin map with Claudia from GreenMeGuides, Marika from the great vegan cafe Plant Base has been searching for other lovely vegan locations. After compiling a list of the best vegan shops in Berlin we would like to share them with you. We’ve put together a list of the best vegan shops in Berlin for vegan food shopping (apart from your local farmer’s markets) - for vegans and also all those looking to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.

Sirplus

 

Can you imagine a market that sells rescued foods? That’s exactly what Sirplus does. Although not entirely vegan, the market chain is doing a great job fighting food waste in the food supply system. This shop offers vegetables, fruits, dry goods, lots of vegan products and more - all at prices below the usual market value. Sirplus shop is a great option for those on a tighter budget or looking to minimize their footprint whilst also looking to eat a vegan diet.

Are you looking for a supermarket in Berlin that spares you the hassle of having to look through the ingredients list on the back of every product to check if it is vegan? Look no further! Go to to the “vegan temple” and be blown away by the enormous choice at Veganz - Europe’s first and biggest vegan supermarket full of nuts and grains in bulk, cosmetics, 'mylks', condiments, dips, 'cheezes' and a great variety of frozen meals (we’re talking vegan burgers, shrimps, nuggets and more!). After a visit to this incredible vegan shop, why not have a smoothie and cake at their in-house café, before taking a peek into the vegan shoe store Avesu, also in the same building!
