Although Aida sells their version of the famous " Sacher tori cake", I did buy mine at the original location.
However, I did stop in at Aida to try their various cakes, have some coffee and people watch for a bit.
Naturally as a women with a girlish side, I enjoyed the overall feminine decor and cutesy decorated cakes. Today is Easter, making the cakes elaborately decorated and whimsical.
I ended up ordering a super cute coffee infused cake, mousse, covered in a layer of caramel topped with a cute bunny.
My husband by passed all the cuteness and chose a whipped chocolate mousse cake covered in chopped chocolate flakes.
I paired my cake off with an order of the "Mozart coffee". Three layers of coffee, Mozart liquor, topped with whipped cream.
Waitress delivered all to my table outside..
My cake was super sweet, but that's to be expected when it's covered in a hard shell of caramel. Both cakes were delicious, though not memorable.
My Mozart coffee was light in sweetness (perfectly balanced when pairing with desserts), yet the Mozart liquor was nearly undetectable (that could just be me, as I'm a lover of my spirits), it might be noticed by someone else.
There is "freewave" WiFi available from this cafe, expect to pay 1€ to use the bathroom. I believe that's alot, but I noticed higher traction areas charge more.
The waitress came to my table after a while to close my tab, yet she took two Euros for her self ... either she scammed me because she knows I'm American and figures I do it there so why not give her some too, or Aida is the only place thus far, that I've encountered through out Vienna, that REQUETS a tip.
I'm not cross about it, just be aware. read more
