Very expensive and so much plastic! - Edit
Obviously, Veganz is a good place to go for vegans because every item here is vegan. But I don't like the shop a lot: Everything is wrapped in plastic, sometimes much more than in the organic stores, which stock a lot of vegan items as well. Also, prices can be ridiculous and way above what you would pay at other places. (In particular fresh fruit and veggies: A market is just around the corner where you can buy better stuff for less). Also, I was still checking ingredients because so many of their products really only care about veganism and nothing else; palm oil, plastic wrapping etc. are still things which turn me off, in particular because prices are so high!

Cons: Obscene prices, lots of plastic

All your questions will be answered... - Edit
Well, maybe they can't tell you the meaning of life here...but they sure can help you with your vegan eating needs! Tons of vegan options...small but varied produce section. The little cafe was terrific and the woman working behind the counter was even more terrific than the food choices. I don't eat sugar, coconut, or hemp and she was incredibly helpful (as well as patient) in identifying the best food items. I ended up getting a Death by Chocolate smoothie...with rice milk. Delicious! My companion got a turmeric latte with rice milk and it was super tasty...how do I know? I drank half of it. Will visit again during my short Berlin stay.

I love this place - Edit
It’s so fun to get into a supermarket and know that EVERYTHING is vegan. The staff is super friendly, and they have great variety of products. As I’m transitioning into the zero waste lifestyle, I love the fact that they have an option to buy lots of thinks without packages.

How the high and mighty fall... - Edit
Veganz is slowly changing for the worse.
Read moreIt kick-started when they dropped the ExtraVeganz Sunday brunch. It escalated when they started selling high sugar junk to supermarket and drugstore chains. It capitulated when they decided to do the cheap and nasty on Follow Your Heart by dropping the entire Vegenaise range from their selection. Barbecue Vegenaise, Pesto Vegenaise, Horseradish Vegenaise, Roasted Garlic Vegenaise, all remnants of a past that showed Veganz used to care about their customers. What did they replace these? Well nothing but their own shoddy home brand mayo which is supposedly a conscious decision to move away from exported produce. All that when the majority of their home brand produce sources products from all around the world.
If you are reading this Veganz: SHAME ON YOU!!!
Show that you actually care about your customers and at least bring back the Gourmet Vegenaise range to your store. You owe your long-standing customers that much.
Pros: They sell vegan produce, like other supermarkets
Cons: No Vegenaise of any sort any more!!!!, No ExtraVeganz, Veganz brand confectionary has TOO MUCH SUGAR.

Perfect! - Edit
This is my local Veganz market. It's in a convenient location accessible by major public transportation (U2, Ring-Bahn, M1 Tram) just off the shopping High Street (Prenzlauer Allee) of trendy Prenzlauer Berg. They are an exclusively vegan grocery offering a variety of products including dry goods, canned goods, frozen goods, unpackaged bulk goods, ethnic ingredients, pet food, personal care products and cosmetics, beverages (including beer and wine), household products, etc. - all vegan! They always bring in new products, German and non-German, and set up tasting stations around the store to help introduce people to the products that they sell. The staff are friendly and helpful. The prices (when comparing prices between the exact same items) are on par with the average Bio Markt (organic grocery store) and in many cases even more affordable (I often avoid buying certain things at the Bio Markt, Reformhaus (the German version of the old-fashioned healthfood store) or at the supermarket, because I know I can get them cheaper at Veganz). They often have specials and clearance on items that are drawing near to their "Sell By Date" (especially in the refrigerator section) - I love that and make good use of it! They even have their own line or "house brand" that is also moderately priced (where else can you find 100 grams of {extra tasty both in flavour and texture} vegan gummybears for 1,29 EUR?). Kaiser's Supermarkt and Netto Marken-Discount have special sections where they sell the products they get from Veganz with the Veganz logo hung overhead; and there is such a section at Rewe without the Veganz logo. I have only been to this one and the one in Friedrichshain. The only differences I noticed were that the Friedrichshain location had a bigger produce section, more outside seating and a larger freezer section; and the extra seating for the Goodies café is upstairs instead of next door. I've never been to the brunch, but it always sounds enticing with it being prepared by recognised vegan chefs and offering creative dishes. This place is a godsend!

Pros: Tasting stations to familiarise people w\ products, Convenient location, Discount on items near their "Sell-by Date"

Love it!! - Edit
Lots of vegan comfort foods, smoothie mixes, etc. The could be a bigger veggie section, but those can be bought in so many other places. I'm just happy to have a store where I can get Gardein, Tofurky, and Fieldroast in Germany, even if I have to travel from Dresden to get it. They also have their own branded products that you can find at DMs all across Germany, and there are usually samples in store to taste.
Read morePros: All the vegan goodies!, No need to inspect labels

I wish there is one Veganz in every city.

A little vegan paradise :) - Edit
I regret I no longer live in Germany because there were so many interesting faux meat & cheese & dairy products I would've loved to have tried. Alas, I was limited in what I could practically take back to the USA. Very nice staff. Allowed me to take pix for my friends here at home. Before shopping & photo-snapping, I started in the bakery with a coffee and pastry. Really happy I made the trip to see Veganz. I hope they become a staple throughout the world. :)
Read morePros: Highly organized, neat, tidy, TONS of options, Bakery in the store

Great cooperation between the shops! - Edit
After having bought shoes at avesu (which is next to it), we went back to Veganz because we had received a voucher for a drink. I then had a raw chocolate drink which was very good. I loved that they offered orange and lemon flavored water for free!

The vegan shop in Berlin! - Edit
Veganz is the vegan supermarket of Berlin: they have so many products, faux-meat, vegan sheese, icecream, spreads, sweet, and so on. And you don't have to check the ingredients! Prices are relatively fair, and staff is friendly. Higly recommended to go there to buy vegan food. In France, we have few similar places but they do not have fresh vegetables, whereas Veganz has. I find that great too!
Read morePros: very wide range of products, 100% vegan, have fresh vegetables, near a vegan coffee and shoe shop

I hope one day every store is like this - Edit
It was a blessing to live within walking distance to this fully stocked, fully vegan supermarket. It is pretty expensive, no doubt, but you can get anything you have ever dreamed of here, and a few things you didn't even know existed. They have many, many different kinds of vegan cheese, vegan milk, vegan sausages, every kind of meat and fish substitute, vegan ice-cream, chocolate, gummy candies, even vegan caviar. There is also baby food and pet food. I wouldn't come here for produce, as, while organic, the selection is very limited.
Read morePros: Has every vegan thing imaginable
Cons: Expensive

Vegan heaven! - Edit
This place is heaven for vegans. It feels strange to be in a shop where everything is vegan! Wish I lived in Berlin and could stockpile the amazing range of vegan ice-creams, cookie dough, faux meats and DAIYA (!!!) that you can't find in the UK. Discovered loads of new brands. The cafe connected to the shop is amazing - we visited a few times while we were in Berlin. A must visit!
Read morePros: They stock Daiya!!

LOVE THIS WHOLE CHAIN OF VEGAN SUPERMARKETS! - Edit
Having met the owner and his manager, I can tell you that this chain of vegan supermarkets is the most exciting business to happen to the world! These briliant people have created a mega store concept that will continue to attract vegans and non vegans alike! The uniformity, the cleanliness and the fact that they are good business persons who treat their employees as equals, is just what is needed to make this world wide awareness happen! They are ethical people who care about animals, the earth and our environment and they have created a wonderful place to shop, learn! With restaurants and culinary centers and shoe shops, and film screening and books, etc. this is the world wide, history making endeavor!! Way to go amazing Jan and Sebastian!! We are so honored to know you!
Read morePros: VEGAN, entirely!, Use fresh local farms!, Owner is ethical vegan
Cons: zero cons

Cool store, hard to find items - Edit
This store has items that are often hard to find in Europe, so that's really nice. However, you pay for it - that's for sure.
Read moreNice to find an all-vegan store, though. That's a big plus. And it's easy to find.

Shop til you drop! - Edit
There might be bigger vegan supermarkets elsewhere in the world, but this is the biggest one I've ever seen. Wow, what a choice! As others mentioned here, it's quite a relief just to go shopping and not having to read all the ingredients. The shop has fresh fruit and vegetables, all kinds of frozen food, cheese and sausages, baked goods, desserts (ice cream!), sweets, spread... basically everything you could expect in a "regular" supermarket, but all-vegan. And it seems to work, there were quite a few other customers. Hoping for more places like this!
Read morePros: big selection, all-vegan
Cons: too far away from where I live

Huge Selection, but a bit pricey - Edit
I love this place: you can just go in and know that you don't have to scan the labels because everything is a 100% vegan. The food choices are organic as well as normal but everything is GMO free which is a plus. You can get almost anything there except maybe spelt seitan powder but hey - that's just spoiled little me talking. This is the place to splurge when you want to reward yourself and your refrigerator. Since there is a cafe attached you might as well indulge on some wonderful vegan cake selections or a multitude of sandwich choices. This is not the place to save money, but I think it's well worth it.
Read moreIt's a shame that it is in hoity-toity Prenzlauer Berg, a place filled with negligent, self-righteous parents who allow their untrained offspring to mill through the aisles dropping and groping things. But that's not the fault of the store - it's society! There will be a branch opening in Warschauer Strasse soon which means I won't have to spend a 40 minute bike ride getting there and it won't be so posh!
Pros: 100% vegan, everything you want, and more
Cons: in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg, a bit pricey, no close public transport

relaxing - Edit
I don't know how else I could explain the sensation I had entering in a vegan supermarket... I think relaxing is the right word! I could finally buy whatever I want without looking obsessively the ingredient list! Unfortunately I had to come back to Rome and I couldn't buy all the gorgeous things in the fridge..

Small but good - Edit
The shop is smaller than I expected but it is, of course, a pleasure to buy groceries there since everything is vegan. They have a wide range of items which are hard (or even impossible) to find anywhere else in Germany. Other vegan items (which you can find in a lot of other supermarkets) are missing though.
Read morePros: all vegan

Good Store, OK Cafe - Edit
Two parts: Store, Cafe. The store has some items I have not found anywhere else in Berlin, such as Daiya cheese. The focus is on prepared foods, not on ingredients (wheat gluten, etc.) The store also carries lots of fun things and practical enviro things (menstrual cups, etc.). The prices are not cheap, but seem to be on par. It's a great place to drop a chunk of change and enjoy not having to read every blessed label. Four cows. It's not a 'superstore' as some people here state (at least to an American), but it is on the larger side for Berlin.

Happy to see one more vegan superstore. - Edit
Yes, I say one more because, sorry to tell, it's definitely not the first vegan supermarket in Europe... Vegilicious in Dortmund opened a bit before them and is also 100% vegan.
Read moreAnyway, very nice store, wonderful pies and cakes, some products a bit pricey if I compare them to some other vegetarian/vegan stores in Berlin (some soya milk brands that you unfortunately can't find in Veganz are nearly twice cheaper in some other stores). I'm happy to see that they sell some products I still had to order on line but they have no vegan razor blades and very few other cosmetics are missing. Don't take me wrong, I may sound a bit negative but I'm not, time has changed and it's great to see that some pure vegan stores open now in Europe too !
Oh, yes, also, finally an organic store in Berlin selling lemons per kilo and not by piece !
Pros: Excellent food, Nice assortiment, Friendly and good looking staff
Cons: Some products a bit expensive
