Beste Zitronen, Limetten, Orangen in Berlin?

If you're near the Bio Company at Boxhagener Platz on a Saturday, they get a delivery of organic citrus that's actually seasonal and has a real smell to it. Not the cheapest but you can taste the difference, especially with the blood oranges when they're around. Also worth checking out the organic section at Denns on Warschauer, they sometimes have unusual stuff like finger limes or sudachi that you won't find in regular supermarkets.

Frischeparadies in Charlottenburg has a proper fruit and vegetable section with imported citrus that's often a cut above supermarket stuff. You'll pay more but the Meyer lemons and blood oranges they get in are actually ripe when you buy them. The Saturday market at Winterfeldtplatz in Schöneberg also has a couple of produce stalls that bring in good stuff from Italy and Spain, just go before noon.

tbh the turkish markets in kreuzberg or neukölln usually have way better citrus than any supermarket, just check if they're in season

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
