It is more spacious than one would expect from the outside with about 8 toal tables. Good amount of space and separation between each table. Definitely less crammed than Bruhmarkt in Bockenheim which my normal go-to spot. I ordered the Ethiopian coffee (4,10 euro). It is on the expensive side (similar coffee is 3,90 euro as t Burhmarkt), but quality is very good. Free wifi, comfortable atmosphere and good coffee make this a place to spend more than a few hours relaxing.

It was obvious that I was traveling (I had my bags with me) but most of the staff was very gracious when I asked questions about what to order or how to pronounce things, which was very kind. My server went out of her way to check in and to make recommendations. The atmosphere itself is relaxing, cozy, and comfortable, but at the same time so alive with colors and art and interesting things to explore while you eat. There's seating indoors and a spacious sidewalk patio seating area. I ordered a cappuccino to drink and the Power Frühstrück to eat, which ended up being an amazing spread. It included a light omelet, a basket of fresh bread, jam, fruit, cheese, cream cheese, olives and an orange juice. It was plenty of food for a solid meal and was less than 15 euros. I also enjoyed the little touches (even if I couldn't read them!) on the menu about the business and the note from the owner. It all seemed very thoughtfully done. I would love to come back and explore more of the menu and spend a little bit more time enjoying myself in the space!

With a breakfast buffet so close to perfect, it is probably easier to begin with what was amiss…read more The pancakes on the hotline had become a bit dessicated and rubbery under the heatlamp. Yup, that was it. Here's what is awesome about this comprehensive buffet for about 33Euros. The maitre'd greets you and offers coffee or tea, juice as she seats you. She does so in a warm and assumptive manner anticipating your needs. The hot line portions are small, so the plates will look patchy when more guests arrive. However, the staff are uber quick to replenish and preen the line to make sure that it is instagram perfect when you return. Otherwise, they are not intrusive and keep a watchful eye to engage guests quickly when needed. The smoked fish, gravadlax was a tier above the norm in quality. So was the prosciutto that was shy of Iberico Ham--just missing the acorn notes. The blood and liver sausages were spot on. Even the condiments here were elevated--large capers, pearl onion, cornichon, wholegrain mustard, dill mustard, horseradish. The Rollmops were delightful. They had a rocking juice bar that included pear juice. Yummy! The strong coffee came in a caraffe--a perfect amount for me. They had pretzel rolls and other whole seed breads and breakfast pastries. Be that I was focusing on a high protein breakfast, I passed. The fried eggs had a lovely orange hue indicative of free range eggs. Did not save room for the omelettes. There was an English Breakfast selection, a plethora of yoghurt options, a full on fruit bar... all of which I passed because I was fixated on the fish! Having conferenced around the world, and started my long days with a high protein breakfast buffet such as this, I am pleased to report that this hotel breakfast is in a tier of its own. Sure, it is pricey, but given the convenience, service, selection and execution, I look forward to eating here the next few mornings.

When a Manager Becomes the Reason to Leave a Restaurant!…read more Our visit to Sunny Side Up was unfortunately one of the most unpleasant restaurant experiences we have had in a long time. We stopped by for breakfast before leaving Frankfurt and had already placed our order. I was carrying a paper bag containing a muffin from another shop. The muffin remained in the bag under the table the entire time. I neither ate it nor took it out of the bag. A young man who introduced himself as the manager then approached our table. Instead of addressing the situation politely, professionally, and discreetly, he loudly confronted me in front of other guests in an inappropriate manner. His attitude was aggressive, condescending, and disrespectful. Of course, a restaurant has every right to set rules regarding outside food. No one was questioning that. What was completely unacceptable, however, was the way he chose to treat paying customers. When I explained that I was not eating the muffin and expressed my concern about his behavior, he showed no interest whatsoever in resolving the situation constructively. On the contrary, when I said that we would rather leave under those circumstances, he essentially told us to go ahead. So we left the restaurant, leaving our already served coffee behind. In my opinion, anyone who treats guests in this manner is not suited for a customer-facing role, let alone a management position. Hospitality is not merely about enforcing rules; it is about treating people with respect, tact, and basic decency. His behavior reflected the exact opposite. What I find particularly troubling is that this kind of conduct increasingly seems to be regarded as normal. It feels like a reflection of a broader societal decline in courtesy, respect, and common decency. This is simply not how customers should be treated. The name "Sunny Side Up" appears to aim for an American-style breakfast culture built on friendliness, openness, and good service. Unfortunately, it remains little more than a façade. While the restaurant attempts to imitate an American concept, it fails at the very thing that defines it: friendly, professional, customer-oriented service! We left the restaurant disappointed and upset. Based on this experience, we will not be returning and unfortunately cannot recommend Sunny Side Up.

I never pull the racism card but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that three people who did not look like me walked in afterwards, were greeted immediately and two did not have a reservation but when they thought we left they sat them.

This is a review of Platz am Hertz on Ansburger Str in Bornheim on the night of 22 Aug 2020…read more Tried to give them the benefit the doubt but.... So we were really looking forward to enjoying a great steak during on their opening night but it wasn't meant to be. When we arrived for our 2000 reservation the host told us they didn't have a reservation for us. We showed them the reservation confirmation which was meet with "we do not have a table" for you. Strike 1. After seeing the confirmation message they scrambled to try to make amends. They offered us drinks on the house and we waited in the lobby. After about a 30 minute wait they sat us at our table. Things may be looking...nope. It took over an hour just to get our wine ordered and brought to our table. We asked the waiters/waitresses three or four times for a wine menu and they kept telling us that someone would come to our table and explain their wine listing. Didn't happen. Strike 2. It's gets better (100% sarcasm here)...remember our reservation was at 2000, well it was now almost 2230 and we just received our food. I ordered the Tomahawk steak cooked temperature Medium and my girlfriend order the Tuna steak medium. First off for the price tag of €130 for the tomahawk steak it should come out at the requested temperature and I should be able to cut through it like butter...That was not the case. It came rare! To top it all off both the tomahawk steak and tuna steak came out cold. Unacceptable. STRIKE 3!!! I explained to the manager the situation and they were able to see that the steak came out rare instead of medium and they said they would do something for us. I told the managers that if you are going to just reheat the same piece of meat then I do not want it but for some reason I had this strange feeling that they were going to just try to heat up the same piece of meat to get it to the right temperature and that's exactly what they did. When they brought the now burnt steak back out it was extra chewy like a €5 steak. I've had it by this point. I told the managers that I am not paying €130 for a reheated tomahawk steak that had a consistency of beef jerky. So the night was just an all around let down. I will say that the side dishes were tasty and their food presentation was very nice but those two things could not save the rest of the disaster.

So we decided to go there today and check it out. It's a very nice cafe with a great ambience and seating for about 30 people inside and they have many tables out on the street for warm days. As it's a corner cafe they can fit quite a few tables outside. It was packed when we arrived but were able to get a table straightaway. The waitress was quick to get to us and take drink orders. The menu has plenty of breakfast options including vegan choices. There are soups, salads and sandwiches as well. Coffee here is good and the prices very reasonable. We had the breakfast for two which comes with loads of stuff like cheese, meats, dips, spreads, fruits and breads. It is very nice and everything tasted fresh. It's also a good price for what you get. They have a daily cake display which looked great but we did not try any. Enjoyed it here and will come back again. It's a bit noisy but the ambience, food and service make up for it. A great choice for a long breakfast in town.

Wide-ranging in terms of options, early-arrivers offered Viennesoire and Cakes plus Quiche while afternoons feature Wine, Cheese and Sandwiches, it is thanks to a bottle-neck created by cases that lines are forced outdoors along Bergerstrasse, the fact that most know precisely what to order keeping things moving though time for decision-making once able to see the choices is limited. More fluent in French than German, and authentically rude in response to questions uttered in English, it was after selecting five items that nearly 20€ cash was paid, the first beggar encountered before Food was even unwrapped with another following just after biting into a cloyingly sweet Almond Croissant sopping with Frangipane. Not about to subject even the homeless to such messy remnants, though the birds proved less discerning, it was fortunate that Chocolate Brioche proved better in terms of both texture and taste while a Profiterole with Vanilla Cream unfortunately fell short as it had clearly been frozen overnight with evidence in both chilly Choux and Ice crystals amidst the Filling. Certainly stepping away from Frankfurt's plethora of traditional bakeries, not one item save for Croissants seen across at least a dozen other shops, breakfast finished with two Tartes, the one filled with Apple juicy and enlivened by Cinnamon while Baguette Jeanette's Linzer ate soft like a Financier but was a bit too sweet atop the ribbon of Raspberry Jam.

They are nearly always incredibly busy, and yet they make me feel so welcome I feel as if I am at home. The pastries, food, coffee, is just as it should be. I particularly love the quiche Lorraine and the bite-size (making them way too convenient to eat), soft, sticky canneles. The breakfast buffet is the stuff of fairy tales- it's open on Sundays upstairs in the restaurant with all you can eat croissants, baguettes, cheese, pâté, muesli, quiches, vegetables, fruit, Lachs, salami, and select bites of pastry. In the winter an all you can eat, made to order crêpe station is also included. The location is also spot on- right in the heart of Bornheim in a pedestrian zone that allows for a perfect vantage point to "people watch." Baguette Jeanette is really the place to go all year round and can lighten your mood no matter how down you may feel.
