Wurzelwerk

5 Will Hall - 4 years ago

Best grocery in Berlin - I am a visitor from California used to the incredible Berkeley Bowl and Rainbow Grocers and the many wonderful co-ops and organic grocery stores we have in the SF Bay. After visiting Berlin many times and shopping in many different bio-shops around the city (especially the Lichtenberg and Friedrichshain areas), Wurzelwerk is BY FAR the best grocery of all. There is the excellent selection -everything I need and none of the excess and bloat and advertising more expensive shops and commercial organic grocers push. Then there is the incredible staff - warm, friendly, with ethical values and really caring about food and customers. I don't speak any German but I have never, ever encountered any frustration or impatience when I ask for any help - quite the contrary, I am met with relaxed interest and effort to help, they take their time to really do a good job helping me find what I need, order it, or even learn about it (I was talking with one staff about why they should consider to carry nutritional yeast with B-12 added, for vegans). Wurzelwerk t is a co-op and I am happy to support these deserving workers and know my money is not going to a profit scheme. There is a real community and social change feel to the shop with many local organic peace environment and justice efforts being supported. The relaxed and kind atmosphere is immediately apparent whenever I arrive - nobody likes the chore and errand of shopping but I am lucky to live right around the corner and Wurzelwerk makes shopping easy and stress free, even the lighting in the shop is mild and not like the harsh fluorescent light you get in most stores. My friend and I love Wurzelwerk, she is a member and I would certainly be too if I spent more time in Berlin. I really encourage you to check it out, even if you live a little farther away and it's not the nearest bio-shop, because Wurzelwerk is so worth it.

(Translated by Google) Great shop and shopping community. If something is not available in the range, the owners have an open ear and can order it if necessary. It is worth becoming a member. If you are upset about the pricing system, you should maybe just look at it first.

Toller Laden und Einkaufsgemeinschaft. Wenn es etwas im Sortiment nicht gibt, haben die Inhaber ein offenes Ohr und können es ggf. bestellen. Es lohnt sich, Mitglied zu werden. Wer sich über das Preissystem aufregt, sollte sich vielleicht einfach erst mal damit befassen.

(Translated by Google) Good approach, good selection, unfortunately some cashiers are so slow inside that you feel like you have to spend half a day in this store to buy a pack of eggs, for example. If you have unlimited time and want to experience what is “slower than slow”, you should definitely visit this shop! ;-)

(Original)
Guter Ansatz, gute Auswahl, leider sind manche Kassierer:innen so dermaßen langsam, dass man gefühlt einen halben Tag in diesem Laden verbringen muss, um beispielsweise eine Packung Eier zu kaufen. Wer unendlich Zeit hat und erleben möchte, was „langsamer als langsam“ ist, sollte diesen Laden unbedingt besuchen! ;-)

(Translated by Google) Rip off the booth ... At the checkout you can / must pay 20% more than is indicated on the goods, provided you are not a member. Thank you, no. Maybe you should make the consumer center aware of it.

Abzocke die Bude...An der Kasse darf/muss man 20% mehr bezahlen als auf den Waren ausgezeichnet ist,insofern man da kein Mitglied ist.Danke,nein. Evtl sollte man da Mal die Verbraucherzentrale drauf aufmerksam machen.

(Translated by Google) My neighborhood, my shop! Warm, honest, direct, aiming, always approachable and committed. I like it, despite some searches for products or prices. I have nothing like the employee - employer policy - but the working atmosphere seems to be good there ... I like coming. Again and again :)

Mein Kiez, mein Laden! Herzlich, ehrlich, direkt, verpeilt, immer anquatschbar und Engagiert. Ich mags, trotz manchcher Suche nach Produkten oder Preisen. Ich habe kA wie die Mitarbeiter*in - Arbeitgeber*in -Policy ist, aber die Arbeitsatmoshäre untereinander scheint dort einfach gut zu sein.... ich komme gerne. Wieder und wieder :)

(Translated by Google) Hello,
I just bought something here and was treated very unpleasantly.
Apparently you have to be a member here to be treated in a service-oriented manner. The only conversation was "Member?", Very rude. The member customers were quickly processed at a cash register whose saleswoman was not interested in others, so I was allowed to wait until the cashier had cleared your goods. Those who do not belong to the KaskelKiezSect are welcome to pay the overpriced prices here and leave again. Fortunately, I don't have to rely on this shop. No recommendation !!!!!

Hallo,
ich habe hier gerade etwas eingekauft und wurde super unfreudlich behandelt.
Anscheind muss man hier Mitglied sein, um serviceorientiert behandelt zu werden. Die einzige Konversation bestand in der Frage "Mitglied?", sehr unfreundlich. Die Mitgliedskunden wurden schnell an einer Kasse abgefertig, deren Verkäuferin sich für andere nicht interresierte, daher durfte ich warten bis die Kassenkraft Ihre Ware verräumt hat. Wer nicht zur KaskelKiezSekte gehört kann hier gerne die überteuerten Preise zahlen und sich wieder entfernen. Zum Glück bin ich nicht auf diesen Laden angewiesen. Keine Empfehung!!!!!
