Sometimes you just want a cheap, easy thrill that will get you by. And Schanzenbackerei was it for…read moreseveral mornings. The bakery is conveniently located in the Emporio center where my hotel and office building is. On my first time walking in, I thought Schanzenbackerei was going to be like a magnificent bakery chain in Paris. Nope! Though the bakery is nicely set up and clean with a good assortment of different pastries and bagel sandwiches, the pastries were just so so. I got three different pastries on different mornings: an almond croissant, a tartlet with fruits and custard, and a pastry with cinnamon. All the pastries were super affordable though under 2 Euro. The pastries were fine, but I wish they were able to toast them. They were cold and not as flaky as I would have liked. I liked how the pastries were not overly sweet though; I find that at American bakeries this can be an issue. Though they had a good assortment of baked goods, I was surprised not to see a plain butter croissant. And I was curious to try the currywurst croissant but refrained as it seemed a little heavy. They also have a fully stocked refrigator with drinks and other cold breakfast and lunch items. 2.5 stars rounded up for convenience and friendly but very straightforward staff. It's cheap, easy and will get you by when you're craving carbs!

Kind of a weird layout, you enter and then snake around in a circle to get to the checkout…read more Otherwise the selection is pretty good, prices are average, produce section is a little smaller than some places but you can actually buy normal sized individual onions here rather than in a pack or only the tiny ones. I don't know why, but the checkout lady took all my vegetables away and brought them back with individual price stickers on them. Very strange. I don't speak German so I have no idea what that was for. Note: if you're trying to cross Wandsbeker Chaussee to get to the store, just go through the Wandsbek U1 tunnel under the street since there's no crosswalk.

After about a few weeks of closure it reopened and boy is it beautiful. You don't normally think of grocery stores as beautiful but this one certainly is. You will notice when you walk in you are created with the smell of and visions of bread and sweats at the bakery. After you make your way through that distraction you are immerse in the land of produce. The vibrant colors, the smells of those green leafy things we call vegetables, the perfect amount mist on the most perfect ripened fruit. It is hard to ignore. You are then greeted with the new salad bar with a selection of the stores finest. Winding your way through the rest of the store is easy, as if you're following the yellow brick road. You will find all the fresh products on the outer edge of the store and the remaining items right in the center. When finally get through the maze of foods you will enter the wine and beverage area. Isles of wine, beer, soda and more. It is then off to the check outs. Anyone who knew this location before knew how slow it was due to the fact of only a couple of check outs. Not now, there are 7 check outs and they tend to be much quicker now. Your in and out and all with a smile on your face.
