This place puts my local northern California gourmet markets Draegers/Andronico's/Whole Foods to shame. Come hungry!
I agree to all of your 5 recomondations! I like to add
-Hackesche Hoefe in Berlin Mitte
-Prenzlauer Berg
The name of the department store is
KaDeWe,
Kaufhaus
des
Westens .. and it's great.
