    Absolutely a stunning place to visit whilst in Frankfurt. I read about the bar/cafe and its amazing concept. And the massive support they provide to the community. I was honoured to be there for two days in a row. Had a remarkable experience and time. Literally met genuine human beings in there. Utterly down to earth. Warm welcome from the minute I got in with big massive smile. Staff ( volunteers) are soooooo lovely. Whilst I can’t recall all of their names but hats off to gorgeous Mark and his beautiful partner. Food was divine. Serivece was second to none. On Sunday , I met amazing guys at their afternoon tea ( cake and tea). And enjoyed watching the guys whilst dancing. It melted my heart. Without a shadow of doubt the most amazing spot I’ve been so far. It gave me a huge wake up call and delivered a message that our community is just stunning, and we should definitely be nice to one another. Thank you guys for having me. It’s been a pleasure meeting you all. Love, Loai ( Lee) 🧔🏽‍♂️♥️

    One of the only gay bars that you’re not allowed to smoke in. Friendly staff and the soup I had was delicious. Very low key. Perfect for a nice quiet night.

    The worst gay experience in Frankfurt. No warm welcome, we were waiting for drinks that we ordered for like 30min. As a member of LGBTQ+ community I really didn't feel welcome here. I guess they care more about "regulars" here, but ok, I'm sure I'll never be back here. The drinks were fine but if you wait for them for 30min and it's not busy then what's the point. Thank you. Next!

    (Translated by Google) Everyone can be what they are in this restaurant: MAN!! I always feel very welcome and in good hands! My respect goes to the team's volunteer work! Without you this special place would not exist! (Original) In diesem Lokal darf jeder sein was er ist: MENSCH!! Ich fühle mich jedesmal herzlich willkommen und gut aufgehoben! Mein Respekt gehört der ehrenamtlichen Arbeit des Team! Ohne Sie würde es diesem besonderen Ort nicht geben!

    A really nice bar. Cool decor, comfortable, friendly and the drinks are not too expensive. And, there’s no smoking inside.

    Absolutely fabulous! Popped in for a beer and coffee on a Sunday afternoon. Marc was wonderful and pleasant - we had a great time!

    Polite staff, affordable drinks, cakes (on Sundays) ... even if somewhat empty. Just a regular cafe, minimalist in design, I probably did not go in during the "crowd hours", but I did not catch any magic or added value. Was suddenly sent away at an odd late-afternoon hour, surprised by the "you need to pay now".

    I visit the café regularly to enjoy coffee and cake, particularly because I know the proceeds support people with AIDS. Unfortunately, my last two visits were unpleasant experiences. During the most recent one, I asked a waiter if I could sit at the bar, and he agreed. However, a few minutes later, his colleague rudely instructed me to move, and I paid and I left without even getting my ordered cake and coffee. The service was disappointing, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

    (Translated by Google) Cult in the Frankfurt queer scene! Perfect for hanging out and linking. The food is good to very good and the drinks are numerous / diverse. Cult in Frankfurt's queer scene! Perfect to just hang around and to connect. The food is good, if not top of the line (at least for the price). The drinks are plenty and quite diverse.

    (Translated by Google) Nice and very dedicated shop that lives from and through volunteering and doesn't need to hide from professional gastronomy! (Original) Schöner und sehr engagiert gemachter Laden, der vom und durch das Ehrenamt lebt und sich nicht vor der professionellen Gastronomie zu verstecken braucht!
