"This cafe is incredible with an amazing view of Frankfurt's skyscrapers. It has outdoor seating which makes the view enjoyable. I wish they have some more non-alcoholic beverages. The cafe has cash-only payment system."
"Wow, America can take some notes here. Brother and I backpacking, first night in Frankfurt and stumbled onto this fun and family friendly area on the Main River walkway outside of downtown. Plenty of open green space to play or relax and lay. Beer was flowing."
"Simple but good breakfast. Service was good even though they were busy. Great location, right by the main river."
"Guys, this is one of the best places you can visit in Frankfurt. They have great selection of drinks, some snacks and coffie is sooooo good, I have no words. I need to tell that service here is out of this world. They speak English, German, Chinese...they are so attentive and good in their job. Always smiling and giving you the best possible experience. Mariam, Elfe, Hamdi & all the others that I don't know the name, I just wanna say Thank You!! You guys are amazing and reason I always come back for the last 4 years. Absolutely AMAZING"
"Very nice place to enjoy a coffee or cold drink in the sun while reading a good book and looking at the skyline of frankfurt! :-)"
"We only utilized the beer garden but it was perfect for a sunny day in the spring. Though the line could get long, it moved quickly. There is an opportunity to rent a beach chair for the grassy area. When those are gone, blankets are available. There is also a pay toilet in the building."
"A nice little cafe on the Main river. Mostly for drinks - beers, apple wine, bathroom; sliced banana bread, … no sandwiches, and a chipped wine glass. 10 euro min charge for using credit card."
"Enjoyed basking in the evening sun as I take tea and watched the cruise ships moving up and down"
