Macarons are displayed in the counter along side the chocolates, because they are not very big (about the size of a Canadian toonie), I was happy to try to a few. The shells are just about perfect in texture and density; the fillings a tad too sweet for me but nonetheless really really good macarons. The handsome dark-wood shelves along the walls and windows showcase many packaged chocolates, candies, teas, and other goodies. Highly recommended!

Located inside Frankfurt Central Station (Main Hauptbahnhof,) Gmeiner Frankfurt is one of nine…read moreinternational outlets for the boutique serving customers since 1898, and with a commitment to high quality regional raw materials hand-crafted according to traditional recipes the results are expectedly good, though pricey and not fresh like those of local Bakeries. For all intents and purposes a kiosk, searching from paid parking placing it far left of the main entrance looking towards train tracks, it is upon entry that guests are greeted by multi-lingual staff, at least French, English and German overheard in the course of ten minutes spent decision making and paying the nearly 20€ tab. Best known as a Chocolatier, but also a Confiserie with elegant Meringues, Cakes and Candies, it was taking items to a standing table inside the terminal that tasting commenced mere minutes after purchase, the crisp snap of sugar first yielding surprisingly subtle sweetness bolstering toasted Pistachios before the Cocoa-dusted version presented more predictably sugared but still texturally elegant. Looking next at Gmeiner's Linzer Torte, its premade nature predictably compromising Crust that seems to be made of Oats and ground Almonds, the better choice for Pastry comes as a polished Dark Chocolate Tart that is soft at its center while Chocolate Bars in an array of intensities seem well-crafted based on a single choice of 40% blended with Honey and thinly sliced Nuts.

What a pleasant surprise :) So I turned back around and went in- and there they were! It was a tough choice though, because everything looked great, not just the macarons. There are also a lot of chocolate flavors which look absolutely stunning and some pastries. There was a little line, but to be honest, I was a little skeptical, how good can a place in a central station be? Well, very good! The macarons are bursting with flavor and not rubbery. 1.30€ a piece, not too bad! I had the cassis and cherry and I can't wait to try some of the others... Passion fruit, lime or peach - and there's more to choose from The girls at the counter were pretty nice as well and I have a good feeling that I'm gonna drop by this place at least once more before I head home to Berlin.

I initially liked this place so much I made a point to visit it on my last day in Germany for a…read moresecond time to select a few more gifts to take home to the USA. I spent over an hour making my selections and paying. I decided to settle into a table for tea and pastry in the balcony. It was a very snowy day and after I got my coat off and settled in I had an employee quite loudly yell at me in German for sitting at the table I had selected. Everyone turned and was staring at me in the balcony. I picked up my things and put my coat on and left without waiting for my tea. I also purchased many items, one for my granddaughter. They had gotten one of the items in a box from the back room. When I arrived home to the USA, it did not work. So, if purchasing items such as a music box etc, make sure it works.

Upon entering the shop there is an almost overwhelming assortment of chocolates and treats. Walls of chocolate bars of all different flavors and tables packed with chocolate and marzipan delights. I opted for a box of 16 assorted dark chocolate truffles and let the woman behind the counter choose them for me. Wrapped in a beautiful box, I was so pleased to be able to take these treats back home with me to enjoy once my vacation came to an end.

This is the spot for your high end chocolate. Bars in a rainbow of flavors that make perfect gifts to bring home. When Mrs. K. says "Bring me something" this is what she's talking about. Chocolate, licorice, all sorts of sweet stuff. The packaging is excellent and the service is great. This is a super gift.

I requested an assortment of 6 dark chocolates and let the gentleman behind the counter do the choosing for me (there was a bit of a language barrier). The truffles are on the larger size and each flavor was a unique treat. I especially enjoyed the raspberry cheesecake and the chocolate mousse. I am back in the US now and wishing that I had purchased more of them as I just finished my last one.

In fact a fourth generation Baker, great-grandfather Georg having originally opened shop in 1907 before moving to the current location, those interested in Konditorei & Confiserie Jamin's goods will find the Café open Monday through Saturday from 10h00, a lack of Breads or Viennoiserie placing them in a different category than nearby competition including the likes of Huck and Eifler. Long and narrow in terms of size, Pralines plus packaged Confections up front and Cakes lining a case in back, it is largely on German tradition that Cathérine's current collection is focused, 3-5€ each first yielding a dense slice of Spice Cake punctuated by Sour Cherries that serves equally good as Dessert as it would for Breakfast alongside a cup of Coffee. Allowing next for Austrian influence, genrous wedges of Sacher Torte for just 4.10€ dazzling with reflective Milk Chocolate Ganache and Apricot Jam brightening a Dark Chocolate Sponge, it seemed only right to finish with Jamin's take on Black Forest Cake, the individual rounds decorated in Cocoa shavings potentially Frankfurt's best rendition thanks to boozy Fruit that celebrates the Kirsch part of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.
