Kaffeewerk Espressionist

In my everlasting persuit for great coffee, I came across this gem in the middle of Frankfurt.

It is everything a coffeeshop is supposed to be. Laid back, rustic and all about the coffee. A large selection of different espresso roasts and friendly and skilled baristas make this a must-go for every coffee enthusiast.

Highly recommended

I normally frequent the location a few steps away on Europa-Allee but decided to change things up and come to this one. The main reason was that the other location, which is smaller and serves exactly the same coffee, is LOUD right now due to drilling outside. I just can't be bothered with the construction outside there these days. So I went the few extra feet to this one and am very happy I did.

My dog and I headed there for my afternoon flat white on our walk. After walking through the clouds of cigarette smoke from the workers next door, I finally made it to the cafe and went inside and ordered. This location is like three times the size of the other shop and that is refreshing for me as someone who is a bit claustrophobic. I went at 2pm and I was the only one there once I arrived (more people came, but not many). The staff wasn't overly friendly, but nice enough.

I ordered a flat white and it was tasty. What I like about the Kaffeewerk Espressionist team (including their location Bruhmarkt) is that their flat whites are balanced the way I like them. All too often in Germany you find them to be weak or not very rounded and robust, but these cafes know how to use the right type of espresso in them (you can also request light or dark roast depending on your preferences).

I'll definitely start frequenting this location instead of my old haunt until the construction is done. The terrace is large and open and I really enjoyed myself there.
