Café frühling - Kaffeemacher — Restaurant in Basel

Short version: - Terrible service !!! ( i read about it but didn't believe it until i tried ). Good coffee Not worth the price breakfast

Long version: We ordered the vegetarian breakfast set and two boiled eggs the gentleman in the cashier was smiling ,polite and he even was more than happy to explain all, this was it, the experience started to become Sunday nightmare, the service girl bought the boiled egs first which cost 3.5Chf each and then went after 20 min we noticed the that she forgot us completely and the rest of the breakfast and the bread not brought until now( which is normal and can happen everywhere of course), but when we tried to ask call her she just ignored our calls completely!! , so i went to the nice gentleman in the cashier and ask him if we can have our breakfast which we paid for,and then finally she brought it after he told her, the boiled eggs were cold by that time, and as our right as customers we asked to change it, she done this with unhappy murmuring !!! Then again she left us for 15 min ( which is more than enough to make dozen soft cooked boiled eggs as they only need 2 min to make), and when i asked about the eggs she answered in angry tone it need time just wait !! So expect not be served properly and to get yelled at, What a great way to start your Sunday right? The gentleman who noticed the situation was nice to offer us a complementary coffee which is much appreciated, but the experience left a bitter taste andwe won't...

We asked what types of beans could go with our flatties, and the barista said that there were two types and if we would not like it, she could re-make with the beans we liked.

We asked to re-make it, and yes, it was remade, however in the end we were charged for three cups. All in all, the coffee tasted overroasted and the foam was too bubbly (far from microfoam you would expect in a flat white). The barista did not care if we enjoyed or not, and the attitude was far from welcoming (quite a disappointment given all the great reviews we have read). Two stars go for the location and the interior, but does it really matter when you are not welcome and the coffee tastes far from the specialty coffee standard? (I guess the beans were good but either overroasted or not prepared...

I usually hold off on reviewing a place based on a single dish, yet Frühling compels me to break that rule. Their chai syrup, seamlessly blended with oat milk, created a symphony of flavors in a single cup. The balance achieved between sweet and savory, with the temperature spot-on, elevated a simple brew into an exceptional experience. It wasn't just a drink; it was a flavor journey, enhancing the chai's essence with each sip. The ambiance of Frühling added to this delight. There was an authentic vibrancy, a mix of eclectic charm and a clientele that brought a refreshing alternative vibe. This wasn't just another café visit; it was a memorable encounter with taste...
