LPG BioMarkt

Love this bio market. You name and they got it. They have a great gluten free and vegan section. I could spend a good hour up in here exploring different products. Now this is the perfect example of how a bio market should look.

LPG Biomarkt is one of the biggest German organic food market chains. Think of WholeFoods or Trader Joe's, just less fancy and German.

They basically started the whole organic food trend years ago, targeting a mainstream audience. Since then, they mostly attract people that either vote for the Green Party or wear Birkenstocks every day. Prices here are on the higher end, but you're guaranteed to get your bread & butter free of any chemical food enhancements, which is actually not so much of a problem in Germany anyway, other than in the US.

They also have a Bistro counter where they serve organic buffet lunch all day. I tried the Paprika-Haehnchen mit Kartoffeln (pepper chicken w/ potatoes, 3.50/6.50 Euro) which was decent.

Pro tip: if you're a member prices actually cut almost in half.

This is one great organic supermarket!

The store has two floors, while the ground floor is dedicated to fresh produce, such as fruit and vegetables, breads, cheeses and meats (and let's not forget the organic wines), it's only a short escalator ride up to grains, chocolates and such.

You can become a member for a monthly fee, which makes shopping here a lot more affordable. But if you, like me, only stop by every once in a while, the monthly fee is not worth it. It means it will feel a little more expensive at check out counter, but the quality of the produce makes you forget about it in a heartbeat.

This is the only place I can find all of my skin care products. The food prices are quite high if you're not a member but they've got a great selection.

really tasty and fresh bread and vegetables from local farmers. thumbs up!
