Located on the west side of the city, and operating through two World Wars, Confiserie Graff…read morefocuses on recipes and techniques dating back nearly 200 years in a cozy setting that tourists will rarely see. Originally opened in 1832 and family owned since, accolades lining their walls predating both patrons as well as staff, it is immediately on entry that guests are surrounded on three sides by shelves and racks lined in sweets, some pre-packaged but the majority made that morning by Bakers who arrive around 03h00. German language and cash only, a situation common to Bakeries outside major tourist areas, it is only after navigating at least four-dozen choices that first-time guests should begin making choices, Cheesecake strongly recommended by the clerk proving thick and not over-sweetened while a slice of Bee Sting Cake upgraded by Apples maintained its familiar consistency thanks to Almonds on top plus buttery Crust along the bottom. Joined by four businessmen in the tiny dining area, all sipping Espresso alongside a Croissant, it was as they chatted that attention turned to similar Pastry with Almonds and Marzipan, the lamination somewhat lacking though flavor was good while an Apple Danish to follow fared similarly but much sweeter thanks to a generous drizzle of Icing. Attempting to save the best for last, a sphere labeled "Rodeiheimer Kranz" eating much like Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte minus Chocolate, it was for lack of Apple Strudel that a Lattice filled with Raspberries was selected, each bite dense with macerated Fruit complete with Seeds plus plenty of Butter.

Excellent bakery. I really liked this place. Wonderful bakery items, delicious coffee, good…read moreservice, and beautiful atmosphere. For our first meal in Frankfurt, this really set the bar high. We had a fabulous breakfast there, and went back for a wonderful lunch too. Loved both meals, as the food was delicious and the service was prompt. Not only that, but all the patrons are gorgeous and endlessly fascinating looking. Ok, from my goofy American perspective, perhaps most Europeans look fabulous and sophisticated, but whatever. At Maison du Pain, they're all beautiful. The beautiful people of Europe surrounded by the beautiful pastry of Frankfurt. Side note: it's a typical European thing to share dining table space. For example, if there's a table for six that is only being occupied by 4 people, it's possible that a party of 2 may join the table. We have such a different concept of personal space in the US when it comes to dining spaces, since dining rooms are typically huge here. But in Europe, space is limited, which means that you may end up doubling up with another group.
