Stumbled onto this place and loved it. Some of the traditional spots are stuffy or too touristy but the service and atmosphere were great. They had a live piano player hitting all the standards. Schnitzel was tender and the Topfenstrudel creamy, but the real surprise was the burger, served with both cheese and a horseradish mayo. It was perfectly cooked. Cozy neighborhood joint with locals and only the well-behaved kind of tourists. Recommended!! read more

Traditional Viennese coffee house; lovely interior and decor. It's already a nice experience dining there with the ambiance. I had the kaiserschmarrn and it was delicious; the pancakes were so light and fluffy and the compote was nice and tart. read more

Café Diglas - Potato salad in picture was as wonderful as the schnitzel!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vienna, 9

Cafe Diglas has been around since 1875. I had heard that this was the place to go to experience the Viennese coffee culture. I had hoped to try some of their pastries, but when I arrived in the morning they weren't ready. I settled on their quick breakfast, which consisted of a croissant and coffee. Quick Breakfast (7 euros) - The croissant wasn't very crispy or flaky and just tasted ok. The Viennese coffee that was served consisted of a small espresso served in a large cup with half steamed milk, topped off with milk froth. Having had coffee in Italy the last few days I wasn't impressed with Viennese coffee in any of the cafes that I tried. Overall I thought the quick breakfast was just ok and I would pass on this place. They did do a good job in keeping the decor and furnishings from the 19th century. read more

Lovely , quaint cafe . Cute decor . Went there for breakfast. Cafe is expensive ( as expected) but the service is very good . This one was listed as one of the oldest cafes nearby on our Airbnb food recommendation, so decided to give it a try . Didn't disappoint. Washrooms are pretty modern for the old charm cafe . Give it a try , won't regret. read more

Had desserts, an apple cake and a cheese strudel, after a concert in the cathedral. Delicious!

If I had seen this place before I had dinner at the other place I would have stopped here. At least I got to enjoy dessert. Warm summer night, apricot dumplings, chocolate crepes. What's not to like. It was pleasant to sit on the sidewalk and enjoy the evening and some sweets. read more

A classic styled cafe with a homey and easy going feel to it. Nothing like I've ever experienced in the US! You can observe locals in small groups or by themselves chatting quietly and reading the newspaper. Our waiter was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We ordered a few Viennese breakfasts that came with coffee ( with steamed milk), a roll with cold butter and apricot marmalade, and croissant. It was simple but laid out very nicely on a silver tray and was a substantial breakfast. The croissant is unlike the French croissants; it was less flaky and more dense, but very tender. Coffee was delicious. This was a very pleasant breakfast experience. read more

Café Diglas - Vienna Style Soufflé - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vienna, 9

This is a great combination of authentically classic Vienese coffee house dining and creative approaches to traditional cuisine. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is superb! And the food is delicious. To me, the atmosphere is the best part. They often have live piano music which gives the place a 19 century feel. The lighting is also subtle and invokes a bygone age. The interior has little humorous accents like the kitchen utensils hanging from the chandelier or the cushion covers made to look like bags of wheat, pepper, etc. They serve very traditional Viennese dishes like creamed spinach with a fried egg and rösti potatoes or Blunzenmedallions (blood sausage). They also have very innovative daily specials like the red beet apple cream soup with ginger I had which was a dream! The food is a bit pricey. But it's the kind of pricey where you feel you really got something extra for that extra bit of cash. But no worries! If you're on a budget you can just come for a coffee or a glass of wine and soak up the atmosphere for a fraction of the cost of dinner. Actually, I might go back often just for more of that soup! read more

Dang Diglas! Just tried a couple of items - but they were great. Went with the classic Viennese coffee ( melange) and Sacher torte. Both were perfect. This place is super popular - and you might have to wait for a table. I can see why some people have commented on the 'rude' waiters. While our server was pleasant, I did notice some other tables feeling rushed. You are almost touching neighboring tables - that's how packed this place was. Will definitely go there again, If I am ever in the area again! read more

This was the first place I ever dared enter by myself before I spoke German. And it is the place where I saw, and I'll never forget, the older woman who had Apfelstrudel for lunch--and then Topfenstrudel for dessert, at the same meal. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. Recently we went back and I had a lovely cream of pumpkin soup. The dessert display is incredible. Homemade with love, I think. I like to think that anyway. read more

I came here after dinner elsewhere to get an apple strudel for dessert. We ordered, and then he came back to say no apple strudel :( He did say they have apple pie and cheese strudel, so we ordered both of those. They were both good, I actually liked the cheese strudel the best...still would have liked to try the apple though! They do not take credit cards- cash only! read more

Came in with a friend as we were just searching for a place to try a dessert and stumbled upon this. We loved the interior and it wasn't crowded so we were able to easily get a table and sit there for a bit. Our waiter was actually very friendly with us.

It was obvious that I should go in a proper Viennese Coffeehouse during my short little Vienna trip. I didn't dare go to Demel which seemed too fancy, so after 45 minutes of running in circles I finally found Diglas. Against all odds, there were seats left! But, tragically, none of the 2 things I wanted to try were on the menu (Dobostorte and a Kaisermelange). I found the coffee selection a bit slim, which was surprising.. Since I wasn't sure how much strong Viennese coffee I could ingest, I settled for a Maria Theresia coffee. But what about cake? They have a lovely selection, but all the delightful cakes are nameless and priceless! Arg! The employee didn't look too thrilled to inform me of all the flavours, and the place was pretty loud, so I could only make out some words.. Strawberry? Joghurt? Bah, I went all touristy and ordered a Sachertorte. A couple of minutes later comes my order, and surprise!! the coffee is to be assembled! You get the coffee, the apricot liqueur, a couple of sugars, and a glass of water (which I assume is to "verlängern" your coffee)..Now if you come from North America, you might be familiar with the Starbucks sizes, so when the menu said a "big" moka, I envisioned a cup you hold with both hands. This is American small-to-medium-sized. So basically I'm paying 3 euros for coffee, 4 euros for the liqueur, some cents for the sugar, in total 8,50 euros! Being a massive cheap-skate, I immediately thought "This is it, I'm drinking alll of that booze, at that price". I thought of taking the mini-bottle with me, but refrained, because I didn't want to be chased down the street by an angry Kellner and what about the PFAANNNDD! Favourite word of the German-speaking world. I poured a bit of alcohol in the coffee. Can't taste a thing. I poured some more. Still can't taste it. Pour, pour, pour. But then I thought, my sachertorte has an apricot filling, and it is a bit too dry (wouldn't recommend), so hey! Poured some more on the cake. A quarter of the little bottle sweetened my beverage nicely, and the cake was much improved. By half of the bottle, my hands are quivering. I paid for it, I'mmona drink it! I tried to pace myself, ate some fruit ('cause it's healthy you know), drank some of the water, proving myself to be a total tourist and coffee neophyte.. Nope, strong stuff for a non-drinker! So I left the remaining quarter of booze, none of the cake, and a bit of dignity in this lovely coffeehouse, for about 14 euros. Boy was everything funny today around Stephansplatz.. read more

The service was garbage. I ordered the shnitzel and regret it. The shnitzel is 24euros. With that you get a potato salad...soggy and sloppy. Somehow the Shnitzel came out in under 5 minutes and luke warm! Dry, luke warm, veal...yummy Love reheated food! The server was a rude stunod and told us he did not accept credit cards for the 35 Euro meal we had. Good thing i had cash. My wifes boullabaise was leftover salmon in what look to be minestrone soup. At least the vegetableswerent frozen. Def avoid this place. The service is bad. The food is overpriced. Filedmuller is better at 15euros. Its says they've been around since the late 19th century. I will remember this place the next time someones says, "ive been in business for X years. We know what we are doing".......sure pal. read more

I lie it. There is lots of wood in the design, which i like very much, however that us probably where my like would stop in regards to the design. The coffee was a bit better than the standard in Vienna, HOWEVER the cakes they have to offer are to die for. YOU MUST go eat cakes here, i 100% recommend the cakes. However again this is a busy place like most good places are, so be prepared to wait for a free place, even though there is a lot of seating, it can still be hard to get one. ALL IN ALL it is a thumbs up from me. My Personal points system out of 10, standard for Vienna is 5. Location: 7 Atmosphere: 7 Decor: 7 Size: 7 Non Smoking Area: YES ALL NON SMOKING Coffee temperature(*2): 6 Coffee taste: 6 Service(*1): 4 *1=(Standard in Vienna is 5 on my scale) this is based on that you get serviced fast but you have to work hard to pay at the end) *2=(Standard in Vienna is 5 on my scale) I always have a Caffè latte as my control coffee. My coffee partner always has a Mélange. read more

Café Diglas - See through toilet. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vienna, 9

Still a great cafe, but it has lost much of it's original flair. It now feels very touristy. Also they charge 60 cents for tapped water. We were sitting some time and consumed quite a lot of drinks, cake etc. and when I asked the waiter for just some water they were not very forthcoming and in the end charged 60 cents... It's a shame that such a great cafe has developed more into a tourist attraction. They have also upped the prices a lot over the last years. A shame... read more

Can't comment on the food, as the waiter was so impressively aggressive and rude that we all walked out in unison. We're not "troublesome" customers, and have never done anything like this before. It was also a special family get together, so we were even less inclined to abort the night - so you can imagine how bad it had to be for us to do this. We told the manager, who couldn't have cared less. I'd give this place a very wide berth. read more

One of my favorites, this still bears a classy, yet modern style. Just head to the bathrooms to notice the modernism: the toilet doors are see-through until they are locked. Very neat. Or take a gander at the TV screen above the desserts display case and I'm telling you, you will be hooked. The screen shows the entire baking process and if you weren't hungry walking in, you will be salivating the rest of the time. If you want to catch the pianist, better come around 7pm to claim your spot as that's when he will start. Drinks -Hot chocolate: it's nicely thick and a bit more bitter. Very filling. Sweets -Topfentorte: this is spongier than most. It has somewhat if a lemon taste but overall it's underwhelming. -Sachertorte: there is only a thin layer of ganache which is decadent. The apricot jam really shines through and has a poignant taste. -Soufflé: Oh.my.gosh. the soufflé is to die for. The bread pudding is perfectly moist and full of chocolate banana flavor. The vanilla bean sauce is lovely as it has somewhat of a rum flavoring. The meringue on top is fluffy, airy and tastes like pure sugar. Alone it's too much (as in too big); altogether the flavors mesh perfectly. It's very rich and decadent, though perhaps sharing is a good idea? Especially since the warmed dessert will cost you a good €8. FINAL VERDICT: One of my favorite cafes in the city for the atmosphere and quality of desserts. Make sure to sit in the front so that you can watch them bake. read more

A classic Viennese cafe in every sense of the word. I very much enjoyed taking in the afternoon here with some new friends - and the bathrooms are quite odd. There's a break in the wall so you can hear the opposite sex's bathroom and the toilet is configured such that it is see-through glass before you lock it, and entirely opaque when you do. As is the case with most things in Vienna - not far from the centre. read more

You can't go very far in Vienna without running into a café. Café Diglas is another historic restaurant that serves coffee and a variety of sweets that you can pick from the display case. The comfortable space with several type of seating. We sat by the window under a frilly lamp shade. Service is consistent everywhere you go in Vienna. Pleasant. The coffee was fine. The dessert was good. It is a quite place to enjoy your coffee/dessert and relax. There's not much rushing in the café. They have food if you wanted but we stuck with coffee/dessert. read more

We went here on a busy Friday afternoon. We were seated quickly and the waiter was attentive...at first. We ordered the bratwurst which comes with potato salad, sauerkraut and mustard. It was good but nothing to rave about. We really went to get dessert. We tried to flag down our waiter to no avail. We told a 2nd waiter we would like to order dessert. He waived a finger of acknowledgment but never helped us. It took 30 minutes and a 3rd waiter to take our dessert order. We got the sachertorte and apple strudel. The sachertorte at hotel sacher is better. The apple strudel was cold and was missing the vanilla sauce I heard so much about. Super disappointing. read more

Looking for a cosy and Austrian place? Or for some delicious traditionnal meals and pastries? Then you are definitely at the right place! The wonderful Austrian desserts are home made, and you can even watch on big screens how they are being prepared after you passed the order! I've been there a couple of times already, with friends or with foreigner visitors, and everyone has always find his happiness thanks to the friendly and multi-lingual staff. And just for fun: go check the bathrooms! The doors are transparents at first but don't worry, when you lock the door it becomes opaque and no one will be able to see through it again! read more

I am inclined to write this review because I wanted anyone who is considering dining at this cafe to be warned of the most HORRIBLE service we received. We were four girls visiting from the U.S. looking for a cafe with decent food and good desserts. I do not know why some people rave about this place! The older waiter at this place was so rude and obnoxious that even good food tasted horrible. First we asked for suggestions because we are not familiar with Austrian cuisine. However; he didn't offer any help with the menu at all. I wanted to share my 0.5 liter beer with my friend and he wouldn't let us and demanded that we order a 0.3 liter glass beer separately. Why can't I drink what I want the way I want it as a customer? The wine that we ordered came in dirty wine glasses and when we asked for a new glass, he seemed annoyed by it. In addition, when we wanted to pay with a credit card, he actually said that he didn't take credit cards! Are you kidding me?!!!!!!!!! He was full of shit since other tables payed with cards. It was obvious that he did not want to split the bill! The place is also over-priced as compared to other restaurants in the area. I hope the travelers will read this review and heed my advice about avoiding this place. I would say that this restaurant would actually be decent without this MEAN, RUDE, ORNERY waiter. I suggest Pürstner, a restaurant in which we dined last night. We were quite impressed with the authentic cuisine not to mention handsome waitstaff who wear lederhosen! They were so kind and they didn't give us a hard time about splitting the bill! Cafe Diglas left a bitter taste in my mouth and made all of us feel badly when we left . We are enjoying our first visit to Austria and we hope that we don't run into this kind of service ever again! We DO NOT recommend this place! read more

I called the number to ask if the place is full, the waitress simply said "no" and then hang up the phone call. I have never seen a restaurant with such rude staff and horrible service before.
