Love Deidesheim, but super happy it also has a Wasgau gourmet market. This makes staying in this…read morewonderful village even better. The bakery is amazing. Perfect for breakfast if you're at a travel apartment. The product selection is high quality with the kinds of cheeses, wines, veggies you wish you could pack into your suitcase and bring home. Walk here from town and enjoy a wide selection of treats!

This is my favorite market for best quality organic (eco) products ranging from grocery to…read moredrugstore to bakery items (equivalent of Whole Foods in the States) Location is great because it's close to main train station, tram stops, and water tower. There are plenty of bicycle parking places nearby as well. Selection of fruits and vegetables is decent, but it can be slim pickings on Saturday. There are various freshly baked breads available in bakery section: they will argue with you if the bread is warm and you want it sliced. The refrigerator section contains good variety of vegan products: plant based milk, yogurt, tofu, plant based spreads, and "meats". Great selection of whole grains: oats, couscous, bulgar wheat, barley, etc. Drugstore products have selection of paraben free shampoos, conditioner, body washes, deodorant, creams, etc... Basically, their grocery store is more expensive, but quality of food is superb. They take all major credit cards and seem to be open daily (Saturday for sure) until 20:00.

Small but high-quality selection of organic foods! Pricier than Rewe or Aldi, of course, but…read moresometimes you can find things here you can't find anywhere else in the city. I only docked two stars for my experience while checking out here. Staff can come across as a bit snooty, and when I was last there, I was rushing to bag my own groceries, and a glass bottle of apple cider vinegar slipped out of my bag and crashed on the floor while I had my back turned. The cashier, who was clearly ending her shift right after she tended to me, simply handed me a bunch of paper towels and a broom with a dust pan, and then let her replacement continue checking people out. I know there's a joke about the difference between customer service in Germany vs. the US, but this seemed a little absurd. I'm a grown woman and can certainly clean up after myself, but this was shattered GLASS and a liquid that was going everywhere. What if I had cut myself? What if another customer had slipped? These would be liability issues in the US--no store would ever expect the customer to clean up something like this, and in the end I felt compelled to point out to the next cashier some places where I simply couldn't clean the floor adequately enough, because I was concerned for other customers with the glass and liquid. It also wasn't explained to me whether or not I could replace the bottle or not, so I left having paid for (and cleaned up) a bottle of pricy ACV I never got to use. So, good selection, and I'll continue to go from time to time, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

I was in Heppenheim for the weekend and found this little shop a delight…read more All organic produce, including a nice cheese selection and even more importantly wine. The service is personal and friendly and there's a wide range of other products, all nicely displayed. It doesn't have that horrible supermarket feel that many of the bio chains in Germany have.

High-class supermarket! I do not know how to name it…read moreproperly - Marktkauf is apparently a supermarket, but it is much more than that - it exceeds my expectations for a supermarket! The first time I visited this place, I was impressed by the neat atmosphere created by the good variety of items in well-organized shelves, the bright and warm lighting, and the well-trained staff working in this place. After a couple of visits, I realized that this supermarket does not only look nice - the butcher's shelves serve good quality products; there is a good cheese corner, and I could even find good soy sauce in different varieties and ideal rice for Asian cuisine! These specialties have made the supermarket outstanding. The price however seems higher here. I did not specifically compare the items one by one, but in my impression, the expense of weekly shopping at Marktkauf is about 1.5-2 times higher than what I would get in Frankfurt from REWE. There are also sections of home decorations, stationary, kitchenware, electronics, clothes/shoes etc. inside this supermarket. I do not have high expectations toward the quality and selection of these stuff in a supermarket. On the contrary, I was very surprised to find out that the selection of tableware is more classic and better-looking than what I could find in the Karstadt in Rhein-Necker Zentrum. The manager of the supermarket apparently knows how to display and to maintain the shelves to attract customers. With all the details well presented to customers, I feel respected as a customer when visiting Marktkauf. Outside of the supermarket area but at the entrance hall, there are also shelves of seafood, a haircut stall, a big bakery, and several small fast food places. Among those food places I have only tried the breads and cakes from the bakery, and I find it nice as well. Highly recommended!
