    I went twice, the first time I got a Mozart latte, and it was so good! The cream was so thick I couldn't get to the coffee without a straw, it had such delectable layers of flavor. The second time we did a sit down lunch and had amazing sandwiches, Aperol spritzes, and an amazing brownie desert with chocolate and cream. The ambiance is so cute, and the staff is on trend with the decor. Such a fun stop, and a fun place to ha g out while sightseeing.

    Aida Cafe caught my eye with it's bright pink colors as I was walking through the historical center of Vienna. Apparently they have multiple locations, including one at the airport. They offer pastries, breakfast, cakes and various coffee drinks. Coffee culture is such a big part of Vienna so I thought I would see how this place fared with the others I had visited. Cheese strudel - $3 euros - This was one of the better tasting strudels that I tried on my visit to Vienna. The pastry was soft and slight crispy on the outside and had a great tasting cream cheese filling. Capuccino - $4.40 euros - The cappuccino here was just ok taste wise. Not as smooth as the ones I had in Italy, and a little on the pricey side. Tasty Morsel Sacher - $3.60 euros - This consisted of a slightly dry chocolate cake with some apricot jam. However the chocolate surrounding the cake helped to make up for some of the dryness. Overall, this is a good spot to stop by to enjoy some pastries and coffee. It's better than most of the Viennese cafes that I visited. And with several locations in the city and at the airport, it's easy to find.

    Bright Pink Cafe across Prada store. I ordered Cafe Melange and Chocolate cake! Great attentive service. Every table has an ashtray!

    This one is located right next to the cathedral and main square. Lots and lots of collection of pastries. We decided to go there on last day of our trip but I wish we tried it out sooner so we could go there everyday of our trip . Yummy icecream and pastries , nice cool vibe because of location. Well priced .

    Brightly decorated in pink with locations from adjacent Saint Stephen's Church to the airport Aida Cafe-Konditorei has been serving Vienna since 1913, their claim of "better than the original" Sachertorte drawing the ire of some though the light Chocolate sponge and ribbon of Jam is merely one of Aida's offerings. Now boasting 34 stores, arguably the most popular franchise in Vienna, it is seated inside that guests are offered pleasant service beginning at 08h00 daily, early arrival at the flagship finding Apfelstrudel still warm inside shattering Puff Pastry with a generous amount of Fruit and textural Breadcrumbs at the center. Happy to order housemade Whipped Cream with everything, though an Americano made from well-sourced Beans is best sipped black, additional Cakes include Hungary's Esterhazy, named after a former diplomat to Austria featuring Fondant, Apricot Jam and an Almond Meringue sponge lightly perfumed by Rum. Not sold on the Sacher Torte's billing, though certainly an enjoyable rendition cut large, Cremeschnitte has become something of a signature for Aida across the years and with layers of Puff Pastry breaking briskly around Chantilly Cream and Vanilla Custard it is easy to see why.

    Aida cafes used to be good, but during my last visit to Vienna, it was just terrible. This particular location was overrun by tourists, as expected. But besides the amount of people, the coffee and cakes themselves were just ok. I ordered an einspänner and it had way too much whipped cream (think tall glass with 3/4 whipped cream). The next time I ordered it with just a little cream, which they did not do. To my waiters credit, I could tell that he tOld the barista about the order. And when he picked it up from the counter and saw that it had way too much cream, he told the guy. The barista just said take it out with a spoon (useful being Asian and them thinking you can't understand German). I was handed my drink and literally scooped out 1/3 cup of whipped cream.

    Seems It looked there were a lot of locals enjoying the cakes and gelatos and we did as well. Between the four of us in our party we sampled a variety of pastries and gelato. The favorite was the giants Zacher Torte Sundae. It's suitable for sharing to be sure. The Mozart Cake was also delicious with numerous thin layers of chocolate cream... very tasty.

    Touristy but convenient place to get desserts and drinks on a cold day in Vienna. Many choices for drinks and sweets, plus a small selection of other foods too. You could do worse than here. Go upstairs for more seating.

    Great corner location with lots of windows overlooking Stephansplatz square. A local suggested that we skip the tourist crowd on the main floor and venture to the upstairs dining area for a bit more space and less noise. During our first visit, we scored a table near the window and enjoyed the view along with our coffee and pastry. We returned for a quick breakfast, and then again for late night coffee and cake. Each visit was wonderful. Definitely a place I'd visit regularly if I lived in Vienna.

    Delicious!

    This is a reasonably priced, high quality pastry shop with respectful and efficient service. So sweet in all pink with white ribbons! I love their wrapping paper and paper bags - pink tissue with drawings of the Stephensdom and the prater riesenrad in white. I highly recommend the golatsche, flaky pastry with a soft cheese filling, and open-faced sandwiches, especially bacon and hot pepper, ham and horseradish, and cheese and chives. The maronicremeschnitte is also good. Aida is a franchise chain with 34 shops, some in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Croatia, Canada, and Bosnia. Ten shops were said to exist before WWII, all of them destroyed by air raids. Sit on the white plastic seats and enjoy.

    Nice spot. Liked the Cappuccino and the Strudel was pretty good. Great location for people watching on Stephansplatz.

    I am twice a year in Vienna and every time I buy a "Golatsche" (a so called "Tascherl") at this place. Good value for your money.

    Popped in for a light dessert and hot chocolate up on the first floor. Christmas music was…read moredelightful. We ordered a hot chocolate and an apple strudel. Both were excellent! We were quickly seated and enjoying our evening. We'll certainly go back when in Vienna.

    One thing my wife and daughter wanted to do in Vienna was to try the local cake, the Sachertorte…read more There are a few apparently famous venues for this (and a slew of other places too). Gerstner is a long-standing bakery with a few locations (including at the former summer palace). They had a shop relatively near our hotel, so we stopped in early during the trip. If you are facing the State Opera House, Gerstner's is on the right across the street. Note that there is also some as or more famous outlet for cakes behind the Opera House also, but they appeared to have a line when we walked by. At Gerstner's you enter at street level where they have a dessert counter with displays. You can get a slice to go here. However, if you want more of the full experience, you can go upstairs (they have an elevator as well). A wide curving staircase gets you to the rather small 2nd level (the first floor, in local parlance). There are some tables here, but it has the air of a bookstore coffee shop. We opted to continue up to the next floor. Here, there is a dark hallway where you approach the host stand. There was one couple ahead of us and they got seated quickly. I think they had a bar as well as dining, so they ask which you want. We just wanted dessert, so they walked us past the bar. This floor has high ceilings and palace-like decoration. The vibe is definitely 'special' but they don't charge extortionate rates for it, which was nice. We were shown to a small table in the main dining room. I think you could see part of the Opera House out of the open windows. Two of us got coffees and we all split a Sachertorte. We enjoyed it, but everyone agreed that it was a bit dry. Maybe the Viennese don't go for moist cakes. They do have other items on the menu and I think you can get a regular meal here (schnitzel, salads, etc.). However, we visited around 2:30 p.m. on a weekday, so we just wanted the cake. The bill was reasonable, and we all agreed that this was a worthwhile experience.
