Baguette Jeanette bakes French loaves and pours café au lait on Frankfurt's upper Berger Straße, Bornheim's default morning bread and coffee stop.
Signature drink: Café au lait with a filled baguette from the counter
Tip: Weekday counter sales start at 07:30, before the seating opens; the baguettes sell through by early evening.
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
Tip: Weekdays only, tuned to the office and Messe crowd; the shelves stock brewers and beans for the hotel-room hand-brewer.
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.
Signature drink: Flat white on the house Länderweg roast
Tip: Take the espresso outside to the Hühnermarkt fountain; the Altstadtbäckerei sibling around the corner handles the pastry side.
The Nordend original of Hoppenworth & Ploch on Friedberger Landstraße is where Frankfurt's specialty coffee scene grew up, filter brews first.
Signature drink: Single-origin filter from the Giesen roaster
Tip: This is the branch where the roasting started before production moved to Länderweg; weekday mornings are laptop-friendly.
Wacker's Kaffee has roasted and poured in Frankfurt since 1914, four generations in, its Kornmarkt Stammhaus drawing a queue of regulars most mornings.
Signature drink: House-roast espresso at the stand-up counter
Tip: Order at the counter and stand like the locals; beans roasted through the day go home by the bag.
