After traveling through South East Asia, the owner of Lieber Ohne was struck by the pollution of the ocean and decided that he had to be part of the solution to this problem. And this is how the idea of Lieber Ohne was born.
They aim to make shopping pleasurable and an exploratory experience for their customers at Lieber Ohne, and meanwhile, in the background, they’re religiously avoiding wastage of any kind. The concept of the place includes a kitchen, where everything in store that is in danger of expiring is used to cook up delicious dishes. The menu is vegan and vegetarian (but they’ll throw in a portion of meat if you so desire) and changes daily.
The foods on offer range from fruits and veg to beer and oil, rice and pasta to flour and sugar. It’s all organic and mostly regional, of course – except for those exotic characters, like bananas and lemons. You can check out their selection on their website, where you will also find their daily menu.
In addition, they also have big dispensers containing soaps and washing liquids for you to squirt out and take home with you in your own containers. You can either bring your own glasses, boxes or bags, or you can buy a glass with a deposit of 1€ on it. Or you can just use a paper bag, which most people shopping here reuse until it falls apart.
