The café in Frankfurt's Liebieghaus serves coffee and cake in a villa garden full of sculpture on the Museumsufer, an open secret in summer.

Tip: The garden tables sit among the museum's outdoor marbles; combine with the Städel two doors along the embankment.
Harvey's runs from morning coffee to last orders past midnight on a leafy Nordend corner of Frankfurt, a café-bar and long-time queer landmark.

Tip: The wraparound terrace on Friedberger Platz territory fills Friday evenings; brunch is the calmer way to get a table.
Wunderbar is the café anchor of Frankfurt-Höchst's old town, pouring coffee by the half-timbered lanes far from the city-centre crowds and their noise.
Signature drink: Coffee in Höchst's old town, kitchen running all day
Tip: Pair it with the Höchst porcelain museum and the Main ferry; Sunday closes at 16:00, so go for late breakfast.
Baguette Jeanette bakes French loaves and pours café au lait on Frankfurt's upper Berger Straße, Bornheim's default morning bread and coffee stop.

Café Größenwahn has run its Nordend corner in Frankfurt since December 1978, a café-Kneipe of daily menus, wine and four decades of debate on its walls.
Signature drink: An evening coffee sliding into wine at the Kneipe tables
Tip: It opens at 16:00, so treat it as an evening café; the rotating German-Mediterranean menu rewards the indecisive.
Kaffeewerk Espressionist brews four house espresso roasts below Tower 185 near Frankfurt's Messe, the trade-fair district's serious coffee bar.
Signature drink: One of four house espresso roasts, dialled in daily
