altstadt · Fahrgasse 7, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00; Sat-Sun and holidays 10:00-18:00
The Holy Cross Brewing Society has anchored Frankfurt specialty coffee on Fahrgasse since December 2015, cycling roasters from four continents.

Hoppenworth & Ploch Café Altstadt ★ 4.4
altstadt · Markt 22, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily 09:00-19:00
Hoppenworth & Ploch pours its own Frankfurt-roasted coffee at Markt 22 in the rebuilt Altstadt, steps from the Römer and the new old town lanes.
Tip: Take the espresso outside to the Hühnermarkt fountain; the Altstadtbäckerei sibling around the corner handles the pastry side.
Hoppenworth & Ploch Café Nordend ★ 4.4
nordend · Friedberger Landstraße 86, 60316 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Mon-Fri 08:00-18:00; Sat-Sun and holidays 08:30-18:00
The Nordend original of Hoppenworth & Ploch on Friedberger Landstraße is where Frankfurt's specialty coffee scene grew up, filter brews first.

Café Karin ★ 4.4
innenstadt · Großer Hirschgraben 28, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Mon and Wed-Sun 09:00-19:00, breakfast until 18:00; closed Tue
Café Karin beside the Goethe House has served Frankfurt all-day breakfast for over three decades, a city-centre institution with zero polish lost.
Tip: Breakfast runs until 18:00, which settles most arguments; cash has long been king here, so carry some just in case.
Café Laumer ★ 4.4
westend · Bockenheimer Landstraße 67, 60325 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily 09:00-19:00
Café Laumer has kept Westend Kaffeehaus culture running since 1919 in Frankfurt, the room where the Frankfurt School once argued over cake and coffee.
Tip: The Konditorei counter and the pot-of-coffee ritual carry the room; it keeps the same 09:00 to 19:00 hours every day of the week, holidays included.
Iimori Pâtisserie ★ 4.3
altstadt · Braubachstraße 24, 60311 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily 09:00-21:00
Iimori crosses French pâtisserie with Japanese precision on Braubachstraße in Frankfurt, Azko Iimori's cake counter with sushi upstairs in the same house.
Tip: The ground-floor pâtisserie and the Japanese restaurant upstairs run as one house; weekend cake tables go fast after 14:00.
Café Siesmayer ★ 4.3
westend · Siesmayerstraße 59, 60323 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Wed-Fri 08:00-18:30; Sat-Sun and holidays 09:00-18:30; closed Mon-Tue
Café Siesmayer runs classic Kaffeehaus service at the Palmengarten's edge in Frankfurt, patisserie by the team behind two-star Lafleur next door.
Tip: Enter from Siesmayerstraße without a garden ticket; the terrace facing the park is the Westend's best cake seat.
Café im Liebieghaus ★ 4.1
sachsenhausen · Schaumainkai 71, 60596 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Tue-Sun 12:00-17:00; closed Mon
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.
Café Größenwahn ★ 4.1
nordend · Lenaustrasse 97, 60318 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily from 16:00; kitchen Mon-Sat 17:00-22:00, Sun 17:00-21:00
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.
Tip: It opens at 16:00, so treat it as an evening café; the rotating German-Mediterranean menu rewards the indecisive.
Café Hauptwache ★ 4.0
innenstadt · An der Hauptwache 15, 60313 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily 09:00-23:00
Café Hauptwache occupies Frankfurt's 1730 baroque guardhouse on the city's central square, serving coffee and Grüne Soße for over a century.
Tip: It is the easiest meeting point in Frankfurt, over the Hauptwache station; go for the building and the people-watching terrace.
Glauburg Café ★ 4.0
nordend · Glauburgstraße 28, 60318 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily 09:00-17:00
Glauburg Café holds its Nordend corner in Frankfurt with all-day breakfast and coffee, the neighbourhood's default weekend meeting room on Glauburgstraße.
Tip: Weekend brunch peaks between 10:00 and 13:00 with a wait for pavement tables; weekdays it doubles as a laptop room.
Sunny Side Up ★ 4.0
westend · Bockenheimer Landstraße 9, 60325 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Mon-Fri 08:00-17:00; Sat-Sun 09:00-17:00, kitchen until 15:00
Sunny Side Up cooks eggs every way at the city end of Frankfurt's Bockenheimer Landstraße, the Westend's dependable daytime breakfast room by some distance.
Tip: The kitchen stops at 15:00 sharp; arrive before noon on weekends or expect a short queue at the door.
Harvey's ★ 4.0
nordend · Bornheimer Landstraße 64, 60316 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Mon-Sat 09:00-01:00; Sun 09:00-00:00
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.
Café Maingold ★ 3.9

Hours: Mon-Thu 12:00-00:00; Fri-Sat 12:00-01:00; Sun and holidays 10:00-21:00
Café Maingold sits at the quiet end of Frankfurt's Zeil, a café-bar hybrid running from midday coffee to weekend closing time past midnight.
Tip: Breakfast happens only on Sundays and holidays from 10:00 to 14:00; on weeknights it turns into a low-lit bar.
Wunderbar ★ 3.9
hoechst · Antoniterstraße 16, 65929 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Mon-Sat 10:00-00:00, kitchen until 21:00; Sun 10:00-16:00
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.
Tip: Pair it with the Höchst porcelain museum and the Main ferry; Sunday closes at 16:00, so go for late breakfast.
Baguette Jeanette ★ 3.9
bornheim · Bergerstrasse 187, 60385 Frankfurt am Main
Hours: Daily 08:00-19:00; counter sales from 07:30 on weekdays
Baguette Jeanette bakes French loaves and pours café au lait on Frankfurt's upper Berger Straße, Bornheim's default morning bread and coffee stop.
Tip: Weekday counter sales start at 07:30, before the seating opens; the baguettes sell through by early evening.
