    The coffee is great, no doubt about that, but there are many places for great coffee in Frankfurt. The Espresso bar has a high lack in customer friendliness and simple manners, though. The boys behind the bar come across pretty arrogant with their hardcore hipster attitude, unfortunately. Getting some lessons in service quality would surely do them very good.

    Good coffee, nice people, cozy tiny place. Definitely one of the best coffees in town (unfortunately not a lot of them in such an international city). The price is very fair for their coffee quality, sweets and snacks are tasty too. Interior deco is unique and kinda fit together, the barista I talked to is friendly and helpful.

    Coffee shop is well maintained but coffee beans are mix of robusta and arabica (they claim 50/50). No labeling for SCA rating or Cup of excellence rating. Roster is not well stated. Otherwise look like speciality coffee shop. Good equipment, ok service, ok latteart in the cup. From my experience is average place for good coffee.

    Such a shame that this place exists in the middle of Frankfurt (which should be a civilised city, right)? The bartender has absolutely no idea about coffee, just points to the menu with all those fancy italian names and tells to choose coffee latte if an espresso is too little coffeine. They also charge you 0,3€ extra if you pay by card (like, is this even real! And kid me not - in the financial centre of Germany). For two take away espresso paid 6€! Shame.

    The espresso bar is a tiny bar that serves coffee and also classic cocktail and aperitifs! Their espresso is very well balanced, with slight acidity, but not too much, and a full body with chocolate flavours. Even if you are not a coffee lover, you should go to check out the stylish interior and the baristas with their classic attire and beards!

    The coffe was to roasted to feel the flavour Also there is a tax of EUR 0.30 for "plastic money" (card) which I found annoying sine I didn't have any cash on me and didn't encounter such a tax anywhere else on my trip to Frankfurt

  • 5/5 Dmitri N. 4 years ago on Google
    I came across many coffee bars in frankfurt, yet this tiny little espresso bar amazes me every time being there. The espresso is by far the most balanced and tastiest aroma i ever had in an espresso shot. I alway love coming to this place, although there isn't many space for lots of customers. Anyway, standing on the sidewalk, sipping of my espresso and watching others passing by feels amazing.

👍👍 It's a very good place to sit with your friends in the open area and enjoy a very good variety of drinks. Their food is quite nice and the service is very good. The place is always full during the sunny weekends, but has a very fair price and enjoyable environment. I recommend it.
