Inside

Loved their breakfast! I ordered Der Römer and earl grey tea and absolutely loved it! The plate has everything: scrambled eggs, mozzarella and tomatoes, cucumbers and butter, cream cheese and olives. Everything was delicious! The service was fast as well, you might need to catch the waiter to order, they don't keep checking on you like they do in the US but it wasn't hard to catch them even tho the place was pretty crowded when I got there. It's a cute, cozy place and I really enjoyed going in there during a rainy day P.S. like most places in Germany, this place has a coat hanger as well. I've never seen this in the US so this is pretty interesting to me lol. Another P.S. unfortunately they don't have a wi-fi.

As always the service is outstanding and this is my only regular cafe in Frankfurt. Jo and Dino are outstanding and I haven't learned the name's of the new staff yet. The breakfast is my favourite meal here but everything I've tried has been excellent. Their coffee is fabulous and you can buy it here in beans to grind and make at home. This is my Frankfurt star.

Vegan breakfast platter + one bread roll

Found this Café by chance and we're so glad we did! The selection of breakfast is very wide and they even have a fully vegan option! Everything we had was fresh, high quality and very tasty. Their tea is not regular bagged tea but fresh one in those pyramid bags. Rarely had such a delicious tea when eating out! Their coffee was very delish too and we can only recommend getting a glass of freshly produced orange juice, it's the real deal. Also the staff was super friendly and funny, welcoming any wishes regarding the order too. 12/10 would visit again, highly recommended!

This Frankfurt cafe with bistro fare has a nice old world feel. Great place to relax and take a load off. It's a relatively small place but large windows looking out on the water and over to Sachsenhausen help to create a comfortable space. Outdoor seating also available. Expect a wide assortment of hot and cold drinks. There's delicious options for kuchen to go with. The wait staff are bubbly and friendly.

This is an excellent Cafe. Had the beet salad one day and came back the next day for breakfast. Food is incredible and the guy running the tables is awesome service. This is a must! Right on the river!

One thing that Germany (or at least Frankfurt) seems to have plenty of are coffee shops, and this is one of the good ones. Okay, the view over the Main is pretty good (as long as you don't land up at the table with the junction box blocking the view) and the coffee isn't bad either. Like many of the places I've been the prices aren't all that bad (though since it is in Euros it is difficult for me to be able to compare them to Melbourne). Also, like a lot of them, there is also outdoor seating along two of the sides (which aren't adjoined to buildings either). A pretty cool place and a decent place to grab a coffee.

Really good location by the river. The Iced coffee is very refreshing, perfect for a hot summer afternoon .

Der Gourmet was a delicious breakfast. The croissant was amazing! Friendly service. I'd come back for sure.

Had the musaka, it tasted great and was a good size for the price. They have a nice view of the river, clean restrooms and friendly service.

I stopped in early on a weekday morning for a cup of coffee and a pastry - service was friendly and…read morefast, my flat white was fantastic (one of the best ones I've had in the past year), and my pastel de nata was delicious. Bunca doesn't have wifi, but they do have a lovely sitting area in the back that wasn't too crowded when I was there. I considered buying coffee beans in my way out, but by then, a line had formed out the door! From my brief experience, Bunca's popularity is totally deserved!

Bunca is definitely a great little cafe in Frankfurt's Willy Brandt Platz area. I have never had…read morethe chance to sit inside as it is crowded (good for them!) and I am usually on the run, but I can say that they offer great customer service for to-go customers and even gave my dog some water when he was suffering from the heat outside. I got a flat white here and it came in one of the most beautiful cups I have ever seen. It kind of made my day (that and the great taste of the coffee). My only complaint about this place is its lack of wifi. I understand why cafes often do this, but as a person who works from cafes, it is difficult for me to settle in and visit cafes without wifi frequently. In an area like WBP though, it is probably best to not offer wifi as they can keep business and seats turning over more frequently. Nevertheless, I will be back here often every time I am in the area. They take pride in their coffee and customer service and places like this are not easy to come by.

I'm glad to see that there's a big world out there, and my life's dream is to make my way through it, one cafe at a time, calories be damned. There are some sacrifices in life that are totally worth it. Amelie's is a tiny hidden slice of heaven with a stunningly charming interior, expansive menu, and good service. The atmosphere is one of serenity and beauty, with delicious coffee, great lunch options, and beautiful pastries. It makes me hungry all over again, just thinking about Amelie's, and I don't mean just physical hunger. I mean a hunger of the soul that craves to be satisfied with the charm and contemplative grace that Amelie's provides. It makes me happy to be alive, knowing that such places exist.

Menu states that it is for two people, but easily could be for three or four. Everything that we were served was perfect. My highlights were the cured / smoked salmon and the croissant, but really everything was fantastic. Highly recommend!
