The fabric department, or "Idea Factory" as it's called in German, is beside the main building of 'Kadewe' and down a flight of stairs. They have a wonderful selection of fabrics, with quite a few that are produced in Germany. The sales help was wonderful, and very patient, even though I arrived 20 minutes before closing. She helped me to... More

Originally built as a showpiece of the west to show the opulence of capitalism, the food court and grocery floor makes it worth taking an afternoon for KaDeWe. From truffles to German cakes to kettle chips, you can find anything imagined by Germans, Brits, and Americans in this store, (for better or worse.) the mini restaurants are delightful. A central...

Raclette, raclette, raclette...Enter the building. Do not stop at any of the cosmetic counters and go directly to the 6th floor. Sniff out the cheese counter. Sit down at the cheese bar. Ask for raclette. Wait ten minutes for it to melt. Be served. Eat. Repeat. More

For those from NYC, this place is like Saks Fifth Avenue but with a two HUGE floors dedicated to food/pop-up like restaurants which serve a wide variety of food. A Shopping is excellent - has some high end boutiques such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Omega, Rolex, etc. Note that the overall store also tends to be open later than... More

If you visit KaDeWe, definitely head up to the 6th floor, aka the Food Hall. Even if you're not shopping, there is SO much to see and look at, along with some great samples. A lot of the little restaurants are reasonably priced, so sit down for a drink or dessert if you feel like it. More

I visited this department store after reading reviews that stated it was on par/better than Harrods. I must point out now that this is strictly untrue, with a more accurate comparison of House of Fraser! The variety of goods are fantastic but there is no architecture or decor like the London shop. Good food hall on the upper floor, much... More

Put simply, I have never been to a department store that brought me such joy. You may feel as though you've died and gone to culinary heaven just by walking through the food section. I would spend the kind of time here that people recommend for the great museums of the world if I had a chance. More
