Liebesbrot's Nordend counter on Eckenheimer Landstraße bakes the same organic sourdough programme for one of Frankfurt's most cafe-dense quarters.

Worth the queue: Bio baguettes and weekend cake slices

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

Worth the queue: The plain baguette, bought before early evening
Bakery€€altstadtDaily 09:00-21:00Japanese-French pâtisserie by Azko Iimori
Iimori Pâtisserie fills its Braubachstraße cases with matcha, yuzu and French technique, Frankfurt's Japanese cake house near the Dom and the Schirn.

Worth the queue: Matcha cakes and yuzu tartelettes
Bakery€€altstadtDaily 11:00-17:00Sourdough and patisserie from the coffee roaster's bakers
The Altstadtbäckerei of roaster Hoppenworth & Ploch bakes sourdough and fine patisserie behind Frankfurt's rebuilt Hühnermarkt lanes, open daily.
Tip: It doubles as a natural wine and pantry shop; late opening at 11:00 means it is a lunch-and-after stop, not a breakfast one.
Worth the queue: Self-baked sourdough with natural wine to take home
