The coffee here is Different, in the sense that you will say What the heck, hmmmm, or omg i love this. For me it was the hmmmmm. Portions are small forcing me to order twice. I wish that the coffee could be a bit hotter (solved by asking them to make it hotter than usual), if you leave your cup for 5 min without touching it, the coffee becomes room temperature. I know that to taste coffee it should not be HOT but still. ( I also think that the pottery cups they're us dissipate heat faster, but they look amazing though)
The Food they have is okay, from the four things i tried ( the Energy ball, carrot cake, banana bread, and the cinnamon croissant) I would steer away from the carrot cake. The energy ball is my favourite, and the banana bread is good and nutty but it can be dry sometimes.
The seating area is fine and I am totally okay with it, could be more comfortable but I like it the way it is, esp. the daily flowers. The outside seating area is also good.
The service speed can be puzzling sometime, because it slow when there are few people waiting to order and faster when they're a lot of people waiting!!!
The staff is arguably the best thing in this location, friendly and...
Read moreI walked in for breakfast at this bar, and I must say, the experience was simply impeccable from start to finish.
The girl at the counter was extremely kind, and her friendly attitude made the interaction truly pleasant. I particularly appreciated the brief conversation we had, which added a touch of warmth and hospitality to my morning. What struck me even more was her flawless English-speaking skills, which is not something to be taken for granted.
The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, the perfect start in rainy days.
As for the breakfast itself, I can only say: fantastic! The butter croissant was an absolute delight, with a rich, buttery flavor that left me craving for more. The quality of the ingredients is undeniable, and you can clearly see the attention to detail in the preparation.
Overall, this bar has proven to be a true hidden gem for delicious breakfast and impeccable service. I can't wait to come back to savor more delicacies and once again enjoy the welcoming...
Read moreOne of the best roasters in Frankfurt - I was so pleased to finally found one xD. Having tried both the Nordend and the Altstadt locations, I can definitely say Nordend has the edge with the seating, atmosphere, and importantly the drink quality.
Hoppenworth & Ploch normally offers espresso-based drinks with two bean options: a more traditionally dark roasted variety and a monthly basis "special shot" that featured a lighter roasted bean with much brighter, thinner mouthfeel. I had the Kenyan special shot in a flat white, and while the lighter body is something I had to get used to, the flavor of the beans still really shone through.
Also bought a medium-roasted, naturally processed Kenyan with me at home, which was also excellent. Definitely will be...
