Excellent coffee! Worth a stop if you're on the go, but limited food menu. Service was great.

Wow, Brass Monkey serves by far (and to this day) the best cupcakes in Vienna. They are soft, moist and so delicious. Reminds me of the kind of cupcakes I buy in the USA, so that's a big deal for me. I got their Milka chocolate one, with a chocolate cream inside with a piece of Milka chocolate on top. My husband got their raspberry cheesecake one which was fantastic. The prices of the cupcakes range between 3.50-3.85 Euro depending on the specials, but they are worth it if you want a good quality treat. Their coffee is also outstanding and comes from South America and Africa. The coffee is smooth, fair trade and good quality, different than the Viennese coffee which I find to be too bitter. Brass Monkey is definitely a spot I will come back when I want good coffee. Keep in mind it is pricey (between 3-5 euros) but that's what you expect for this kind of coffee. They have a small table by the window for two people, and a long table for a group of people to sit at. Don't be shy sharing the large table with strangers -- I think the point of Brass Monkey is to be cozy and community-like. Love this place! Highly recommend coming here for ''kaffee und kuchen'' -- coffee and (cup)cake. http://americaninvienna.com read more

The place is not so lovely. There are very few sitting places. I ate a banana bread that was stale. The coffee was standard. I would not come again. read more

Americano / long black here was 5/5. Would come back for more. Didn't try anything else here, but the coffee is the main attraction right ? Great spot in Vienna. read more

What a nice small café! I really enjoyed sitting in this quiet little room with a special and alternative decor, I even got the chance to sit close to the window to enjoy a delicious chai soy latte! The baking lady of the Brass Monkey is Greek and definitely knows how to bake all kind of delicacies: they have all sort of tasty Cup Cakes, even some vegan ones! The highlight of this café is for me the cheerfulness of the staff! They are very friendly, always ready to explain what they offer (they have so many alluring bakeries and drinks!) and adapt them to your wishes! :) We definitely had a really nice time! Careful though: there isn't any toilet in there! ;) read more

I mean.... its ok. I would not take the metro for 30 minutes to reach out. However, there were constantly people coming in and out to pick up and go. Basically its one room with a large table everyone can sit around (maybe 10 people side by side), with the kitchen in the back, a counter to the side, and one small table for two by the window. Can be super cute when there is not too many people there, however when its full, its full. Also, downside you have to run to the bathroom in the restaurant next door (apparently there is an arrangement). That being the case I will comment on that bathroom; not great, but not the worst either .... Basically the cup cakes are you general pound cake dough cupcake. Frosting on the top is what provides the flavour it seems. I believe it is cream cheese that has been flavoured. I tried the mango filled cupcake version, mef. A bit dry. The Soy Chai tea was not nice and spicey, and took more than 15 minutes to get. At over 6 Euros for one cupcake and drink, finding the ultimate place for this is still the adventure! read more

Amazing cupcakes! Small cafe with a chic look - would recommend if you need to grab a quick coffee and sweet treat.

Cupcakes! Gotta love them! I tried the cheesecake vanilla and it was very moist and delicious. The café is small, nicely decorated and cozy. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Perfect way to take a coffee break. I will definitely come back to try more cakes. read more

Coffee and cupcakes, which both are done very well. Nice and simple place to relax without any stress. Price is reasonable for the service and comfort, selection is large for only cupcakes, and the staff are pleasant and shockingly not who you would expect dealing with cupcakes. read more

The cappuccino and cupcake we're both really good. There service was nice and he was great with explaining everything in English. Plenty of water was also available and for someone who drinks a lot of water that was a nice addition. Prices are cheaper the most coffee shops I visited so far. Great service, cupcakes and coffee equals a real gem in Vienna! read more

THE best cupcakes in town. Athena (the baker) and her crew are unbelievably nice and the cafe is quaint and conveniently located. A cupcake sets ya back 2,80 a pop, but why not go for a half dozen when it's buy 5 get one free! If you can grab one, try for the choco with mango filling and cream cheese coconut icing. Nothing else like them in Vienna!! read more

The oat milk cappuccino was very good... But the show stopper was the cupcakes. The gluten free sacha cupcake and GF peanut butter chocolate were both outstanding. Moist, sweet and delicious! Bravo! * The gentleman working there was quite pleasant as well. read more

Supposed to be open till 7:30 but guess what... Took me more than 30 minutes in this super hot day to get here and apparently it is closed. Sooo disappointed. read more

Cute little coffee shop with tasty treats and good coffee. Vienna confuses the neighborhoods seem to lack distinct identities as you would see in other European capitals. This makes it difficult for me to stumble upon nice restaurants, cute shops, and cozy cafes like the Brass Monkey. I happened upon this while looking for a lunch spot. I saved it for dessert and was not disappointed. read more

Their Oreo cupcake is quite possibly the best cupcake I have ever had. Stopped by here on our way back from Schönbrunn Palace, and we had a cupcake with an espresso. The cupcakes were so good that we ordered some to go for our train ride back to Budapest. Highly recommend! read more

we are touring all around Europe at the moment performing and we are constantly on the hunt for the best coffee in every city. Brass monkey wins Austria hands down!! What else to say, it's perfect. read more

"Brass monkey" is a very small room with just one huge table in the middle of it, so if you are looking for a bit of peace and quiet, keep looking. The coffee is all right, but it's Vienna, finding a place with good coffee shouldn't be a problem. The cupcakes taste very average and they charged me give or take four euro for a stale cake with a piece of kit kat on top of it (I kid you not). The selection is literally non-existent - there was a choice between chocolate, chocolate with nutella and chocolate with something cheesy on top of it. Did I mention chocolate? but it was the service that sat me on edge. The person who served me couldn't be any less interested in doing so. I wanted to have another cup of coffee and tried (repeatedly) to make myself heard or seen. He signaled me to wait and just kept drinking his cup of coffee behind the counter, before disapprearing in the backroom. Needless to say I never got this second cup of coffee. All in all an very unpleasant experience and definitely not one to be repeated. read more
