Review of selected Berlin grocery and drugstore delivery services, from supermarkets to organic and locally grown vegetables and fruits.

My family uses the Rewe delivery service extensively. Rewe offers many products in an easy-to-use app, they have a wide range of available delivery dates and you get notifications about the estimated time of arrival. What we don't like is that the fruits we received were often not the ones we would have picked in the store. Besides that, Rewe is my favorite on this list.

Pros and cons:
Monthly subscription or one-time delivery for fine cheese, wines, liquors and coffee.

Pros and cons:
While DM has a small organic food sortiment, its strength lies in drugstore goods: from razor blades to diapers. The app works very well. The downside is that DM does not have its own delivery system but uses DHL so you never know exactly when the postman knocks on your door with a big package.

Online Asian food shop.

*Natur.com is one of the bigger players so you can expect good support and a range of payment methods. They offer common organic food products you find in other stores like Bio Company.

Pros and cons:
*etepetete has an agreement with farmers to sell organic fruits and vegetables which would normally not make it to the stores because they don't conform to the norm. You can *subscribe to a box that is delivered at certain intervals.

Pros and cons:
This was recommended by a co-worker to me. Good Bank adds free recipes to their organic food box.
Website: www.shop.good-bank.de
Pros and cons:
We used Landkorb for all organic food. They have the usual stuff you also find at Bio Company. We stopped using it in 2023 as the relaunched website was unusable in my opinion. They also charged for items that were not delivered but paid the money back.
Website: www.landkorb.de
Pros and cons:
The Landkorb food box.
Website: www.brodowin.de
Like Landkorb but with an English website.
Pros and cons:
Marktschwärmer is organized like a collective and promises that their food is never transported more than 40km.
