The Espresso Bar Frankfurt

Not just coffee

""The Espresso Bar" in Frankfurt is one of my favorite little cafes to enjoy a coffee and arancini in a minimalist but well-decorated environment..."

I'm just not me without my coffee and I am always on the lookout for coffee that's not just black water. When walking to the gym I spotted this little espresso bar. It looked so appealing from the outside with this big window, the little white chairs, almost like someone's front door but with an invitation to come inside for something beautiful.

The interior is very minimalistic, but with the right mix and an obvious eye for detail. I appreciate this passion for detail and devotion. When the Barista prepared my coffee on this shiny Espresso Machine he took his time like a man who likes his coffee and loves to share it.

The coffee tastes as good as I expected it and I bet it's loaded with nutrients and antioxidants and is really good for me. The homemade Arancini (Sicilian stuffed Rice Balls) are delicious as well and go surprisingly well together with the coffee.

Cinéma

Arthouse movie theater

"Cinema" in Frankfurt is a hidden French cinema located at the end of a downtown passageway. It makes me wonder why large-scale cinemas are still a thing.
