I visited this bar as i saw that the rating was good. Actually the bar is cozy and the waitress who served me was super friendly and helpful. But somehow I didn’t know what happened. The food I ordered took more than an hour and there is no sign that the food will arrive soon. So I left after 2 beers.

Absolutely a stunning place to visit whilst in Frankfurt. I read about the bar/cafe and its amazing concept. And the massive support they provide to the community. I was honoured to be there for two days in a row. Had a remarkable experience and time. Literally met genuine human beings in there. Utterly down to earth. Warm welcome from the minute I got in with big massive smile. Staff ( volunteers) are soooooo lovely. Whilst I can’t recall all of their names but hats off to gorgeous Mark and his beautiful partner. Food was divine. Serivece was second to none. On Sunday , I met amazing guys at their afternoon tea ( cake and tea). And enjoyed watching the guys whilst dancing. It melted my heart. Without a shadow of doubt the most amazing spot I’ve been so far. It gave me a huge wake up call and delivered a message that our community is just stunning, and we should definitely be nice to one another. Thank you guys for having me. It’s been a pleasure meeting you all. Love, Loai ( Lee) 🧔🏽‍♂️♥️

Was looking for a safe place to go drink a beer and this place was the everything we were hoping for! The mood was awesome, the drinks were delicious, the staff was friendly (they spoke English 🤗) and the most important part : we felt safe there. What a breather that was. Will absolutely go again

I visit the café regularly to enjoy coffee and cake, particularly because I know the proceeds support people with AIDS. Unfortunately, my last two visits were unpleasant experiences. During the most recent one, I asked a waiter if I could sit at the bar, and he agreed. However, a few minutes later, his colleague rudely instructed me to move, and I paid and I left without even getting my ordered cake and coffee. The service was disappointing, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Polite staff, affordable drinks, cakes (on Sundays) ... even if somewhat empty. Just a regular cafe, minimalist in design, I probably did not go in during the "crowd hours", but I did not catch any magic or added value. Was suddenly sent away at an odd late-afternoon hour, surprised by the "you need to pay now".
