Finding a Späti near you, open now
German supermarkets close early and stay shut on Sundays – which is exactly why the Späti exists. It is the small shop on the corner that is still lit at 11 p.m., where you get a cold beer, a Club-Mate, cigarettes, crisps or a forgotten pack of pasta. If you are searching for a Späti near me or a Spätkauf near me, this page is the shortest way there.
Allow location access once and spätik sorts every shop by distance, closest first. Switch on the open-only filter and you see just the shops that are open now – useful late at night, when half of them have already closed. Prefer to browse? Pick a city above and see the full local list.
A note on vocabulary: what Berliners call a Späti is a Büdchen or Trinkhalle in Cologne and the Ruhr area, and simply a Kiosk in much of the rest of the country. spätik searches all of these at the same time, so the local word does not matter. Shop pages, opening hours and directions are in German – but the addresses, hours and map work the same in any language.
Späti near me – frequently asked questions
What is a Späti?
A Späti (short for Spätkauf, literally “late shop”) is a small German corner shop that stays open long after supermarkets close — often until midnight or later, and usually on Sundays too. You get drinks, snacks, tobacco, ice cream and everyday basics there. spätik currently lists 8,454 of them across 53 cities in Germany.
How do I find a Späti near me?
Tap “In meiner Nähe” (in your area) above. Your browser asks for your location once, then spätik sorts every Späti, Spätkauf, kiosk and Büdchen by distance — the closest one is at the top. Your position stays on your device; nothing is stored on a server.
Which Späti near me is open now?
The live counter at the top and the “open now” map show, in real time (German local time), which shops are currently open. In the near-me list you can also filter to open shops only, so late at night you immediately see a Späti near you that is open now instead of walking to a closed one.
How late are Spätis open in Germany?
Typical opening hours run from morning or midday until midnight, and many stay open until 2 a.m. or later — in Berlin some are open around the clock. Of the 8,454 shops listed here, 2,084 are open late. Because hours vary from shop to shop, spätik shows the actual opening hours per shop plus a live open or closed status.
Späti, Spätkauf, kiosk, Büdchen or Trinkhalle — what is the difference?
They all mean roughly the same kind of small late-night shop; the word just depends on the region. Berlin says “Späti” or “Spätkauf”, the Rhineland and Ruhr area say “Büdchen” or “Trinkhalle”, and “Kiosk” is understood almost everywhere. spätik searches all of them at once, so you do not need to know the local word.
Can I buy alcohol at a Späti at night?
Germany has no general night-time ban on selling alcohol, so a Späti that is open can normally sell beer and other drinks — the legal minimum age is 16 for beer and wine and 18 for spirits. One local exception: in Baden-Württemberg, shops may not sell alcohol between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Do Spätis take card, or do I need cash?
Many small shops are still cash-first, and some set a minimum amount for card payments. Bring a few euros in cash to be safe, especially late at night. Larger shops in big cities increasingly accept debit and credit cards.
Is spätik free to use?
Yes — spätik is completely free, works without an account and runs on your phone as well as on a laptop. The shop data comes from publicly available sources, mainly OpenStreetMap. The site itself is in German; this page is the English entry point.
