Bakery€nordendMon-Fri 07:00-19:00; Sun 08:00-16:00Country breads baked to Vogelsberg village recipes
Vogelsbergbäcker brings village bread from the Vogelsberg hills to Koselstraße in Frankfurt's Nordend, a counter of dense honest loaves that keep for days.
Tip: Sunday opening makes it the Nordend's bread lifeline when the chains shut; the darker the loaf, the better it keeps.
Worth the queue: Dark crusty Landbrot from the Vogelsberg hills
Bakery€innenstadtMon-Fri 07:00-17:00; closed Sat-SunWeekday bakery counter in the banking quarter
Our Daily Bread feeds Frankfurt's tower workers from Taunustor 2, a weekday bakery counter timed exactly to banking-district hours, pastry case included.
Tip: Strictly a Monday-to-Friday operation like its skyscraper neighbours; go before 09:00 for the full pastry case.
Worth the queue: Lunch breads and pastries under the Taunusturm

Liebesbrot bakes organic sourdough, croissants and cinnamon rolls on Mendelssohnstraße, the Westend's neighbourhood bakery done properly, open every day.

Baguette Jeanette bakes French sticks and stuffed sandwiches on upper Berger Straße, Bornheim's answer to a Paris corner boulangerie, filled to order.
