Bäckerei Huck holds stands 70-71 in Frankfurt's Kleinmarkthalle, the bread stop on a market crawl past the sausage and Grüne Soße stalls every market day.

Worth the queue: Fresh rolls and croissants at stands 70-71
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
