Factory sales and factory shops are a nice alternative to the supermarket, because here you get goods directly from the manufacturer and often at lower prices. At the Bahlsen factory sale in Wittenau, chocolate, cookies and chips await right at the producer, and the August Storck factory sale in Tegel fills your bags with candies and gummy sweets. In Neukolln, the Lemke factory shop draws visitors with marzipan and nougat, while Sawade in Tegel has been making pralines and truffles since 1880. If you prefer something heartier, you will find fresh bread and rolls at the Harry Brot factory shop in Marzahn. From sweet to savory, you can shop here cheaply. Which outlet will you head to next?

I like browsing where enjoyment and a good price come together. Factory shops have a special appeal for me, because you get the goods fresh and directly from the manufacturer. On my tours through the city, a few real treasure troves have come together. I present my favorite food outlets to you here.
Cookies, gingerbread, and chocolate directly from the manufacturer: The Bahlsen factory outlet in Tempelhof is Berlin's most popular destination for sweet tooths with a knack for bargains. If you're looking for Leibniz butter biscuits by the kilo or Pick-Up bars by the box, this is the place for you.
Anyone who loves Knoppers, Toffifee, and Werther's Original should visit the Storck factory outlet in Reinickendorf. Directly at the family company's Berlin production site, popular confectionery classics are available at attractive prices, supplemented by seasonal specialties.
Anyone who believes real Berlin marzipan comes from Lübeck will be proven wrong in Britz. In the Neukölln district, Lemke's Lädchen is hidden away, the factory outlet of one of Germany's oldest confectionery producers, where marzipan, nougat, and nut purees go over the counter directly from the manufacturer at wholesale prices.
For over 100 years, the chocolate manufactory in Wilmersdorf has stood for artisanal Berlin chocolate culture: dark, intensely flavored recipes, a listed Bauhaus interior, and a family spirit that can still be felt in every bar today.
Berlin's oldest praline manufacturer opens its factory doors in Reinickendorf: Those who shop at the Sawade factory outlet receive handmade truffles and praline treasures directly from production, at prices significantly lower than those in Berlin's retail stores.
In Potsdam-Babelsberg, right next to Filmpark, you'll find a sweet kind of food outlet: Katjes operates its glass candy factory here, complete with an attached factory outlet. If you want to buy fruit gums, licorice, and Ahoj-Brause at factory prices and watch the production live, this is the place to be.
Those who take foam sugar seriously should head to Reinickendorf: The Aseli factory outlet on Granatenstraße is the direct link to Berlin's oldest foam sugar manufacturer, whose hand-cooked giant mice have enjoyed cult status since 1921.
Located in the heart of Lichtenberg's industrial area is one of Berlin's most honest food outlets: Lichtenberger Fleisch- und Wurstproduktion sells fresh sausage and meat specialties directly from the factory, at prices that make supermarkets look outdated.
In Marzahn, right next to one of Berlin's largest industrial bakeries, Harry Brot sells its fresh baked goods at factory prices from five in the morning. If you want to buy bread, rolls, and toast cheaper than in the supermarket, this is the right place.
Since 1936, the Spandau family manufacturer Wurstwaren Mischau at Wiesendamm has been producing Berlin sausage specialties according to its own recipes. Over 300 own products, including the original Berlin Currywurst, fresh liver sausage, and the Berlin Schinkenknacker, are available for purchase directly in their in-house 'Leckerladen' (delicatessen).
