This small shop is full of cute little tidbits and tshochkies that make for excellent gifts. There are a few bargains but much of the stuff here is higher end designs and pretty stuff. I managed to pick up a bright red cable tie thing shaped like a fish. That should make it easier for me to find my phone cable buried in my backpack!

On the main square of the riverside area of Frankfurt, this is the Gift shop of gift shops, but…read morenot cheap tourist tat. This is quirky brightly coloured interesting stocking filler gift type tat..... I actually really quite liked it for browsing. It's a mind blowing array of colour and has a vast array of things you probably don't need, but will on some level want. There is everything from moustaches for babies to owl spectacle holders to bizarre wine bottle corks. Limitless pens and note pads, ornaments and amusing gadgets. If you like this sort of thing you will love this place. For me it was all ok, there was plenty of nifty Wee things that would be quite cool to have, but nothing essential and all way over priced! Decent little shop that's worth a look if your in the area. If your from the Uk it's a bit like the gift shop chain Papyrus, but way better in terms of the number of lines it stocks.

Lots of English books, plenty of nonfiction too, and gifts and planners and things. The staff were…read morenice too! Yay!!!!

The new lights are a bit too bright though and there's quite a mark-up if you actually want to buy any foreign stuff but that's the same anywhere.

These items are intricate and beautifully crafted and are available at a variety of price points. The owner spent time to explain the options for the clocks and their differences. She answered my many questions. She carefully packaged each of my (many) items and prepared them for travel home. There was a reasonable option to ship, but I had come prepared to bring items home. Each item was itemized on my receipt and I was charged the right amount. This was a great experience and if I was not on a budget, I would have spent so much more. Next time...

All the items are definitely pricey but everything is so beautiful so it can definitely be easy to get carried away. The lady who was helping us was really nice and made sure that she priced the one item we got (which is a beautiful handmade and hand-painted nutcracker king) correctly. A must-visit if you are ever in Frankfurt, Germany and in need of authentic souvenirs.

Extremely cozy cafe local to Frankfurt, had a pleasant Sunday morning experience! Many might…read moredislike how small it is, but I found it quite accommodating, especially with a beautiful patio in a quiet, residential neighborhood of Frankfurt. The staff was extremely friendly. The barista was fluent in multiple languages, and was not off-put by using them. She very clearly knew what she was doing around coffee, which is always nice to see. The staff communicated very well overall, and added to the experience. The baked goods were clearly fresh; with all of the croissants I ate while in Germany, this was the best I could find! The beans they use had great flavor and made for a great cappuccino.

Copying and pasting this from an article I wrote in March regarding my favorite coffee spots in…read moreFFM: This stunning cafe, eatery, and shop is located across the river from the main part of Frankfurt in charming Sachsenhausen. It took me a while to get here as I live pretty much on the very opposite side of the city, but I'm so glad I finally got to check it out (after so many raving reviews from fellow Frankfurters)! They have flawless customer service and the coffee is completely on-point. Their flat white is pure perfection and I can't wait to make it back to try some of their baked goods (and do some shopping). They offer two coffees- one of their own and one from Man Versus Machine, a Munich-based roastery (always subject to change so check oheim's Facebook page for details). Oheim is located on a peaceful street and has seating both inside and outside. It doesn't hold a great number of customers which adds to the quaint ambiance and allows the customers to interact with the staff. Nothing irks me than an overly packed place where you can't relax and have to wait thirty minutes for tables to be cleaned. This place is literally the polar opposite of that and feels like it could easily become my 'home away from home'. They also offer to-go coffee in environmentally friendly and sustainable cups. I'm not a huge fan of the term 'concept shop' because it can be so vague, but oheim is, to a degree, just that. You can buy some of the coolest goods here, from craft gin to laptop sleeves to specialty tea and accessories. I can't think of any other place in Frankfurt where you can sip on a smooth coffee and do a little shopping at the same time. They also offer specialty drinks for patrons who are not coffee enthusiasts. Owners Julia and Christian really offer a little slice of heaven in the often chaotic city of Frankfurt.

A lot of paper, panicles, DIY things, birthday deco, home deco, spices, sweets, toys and a lot more............. And everything is so cute and cheap, you just want to buy everything LoL! And I think every week or two they get new new stuff. When I'm near by I always go there and buy something, just can't help myself, love love love it.

A lovely elder couple owns and operates the shop, their English isn't great but we communicated just fine with my broken German and their funny English. It is cash only, and some expensive items like massive steins and glassware can drain the Euro's fast...so bring funds! I got a cool .5L stein, a few shot glasses, and some other gifts...one of my buddies got a 3.0L stein...damn that's a lot of beer kids...not for the faint of heart! Really enjoyed this shop and ended up stopping in twice during the trip. A gem!
