    Close to our hotel we decided to walk over for a nice lunch. Unfortunately we couldn't get seating outside but had a spot inside next to window. They offer several tables next to the window and you have a nice breeze so it's worth it if you can't get outside seating. We had a few dishes that pleased our tastebuds and looking forward to a repeat visit. We actually went for a walk and came back to sit on patio for some tea, cappuccino and desert (lava cake). Cappuccino and lava cake are a great combo and amazing ending to a nice lunch.

    Gorgeous!!!

    5 stars for how gorgeous the place is, and it's location. 3 stars for how expensive it is, and because I wasn't super impressed. I met a friend and we shared a dessert. I really felt "meh" about the taste, but the presentation was gorgeous. I'd be willing to go back and try other food on the menu, or to return for coffee since the location and atmosphere are exceptional. While we were trying to have a conversation, staff were fussing around with the ice and it was really noisy. Obviously they have a job to do, but it went on for some time, and I felt like it disrupted the atmosphere. This is of course most likely a one-off experience.

    Mozzarella bread. So good!

    Very good and great relaxed atmosphere. I always find the waiting staff very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and good value. Some of it could be said to be quite pricy but you get what you pay for. An absolute must to try here is the Khachapuri (Georgian bread) a delicious calorie bomb and especially good if you like bread and cheese!

    Scrambled eggs, eggplant spread bread,  sunny side up with bacon and potatoes pancakes, and Viennese breakfast, and croissant with ham.

    This is one of the must-visit during our Europe trip back in September. We stopped by around noon…read moretime, the line was slowly building up but not too bad, it was about 20-30 minutes. The building is very elegant and classical, really enjoyed the atmosphere as walking in, we sat down at a corner next to the window and could not wait to try out the coffee and pastries here. We got Cafe Central Kafee and Maria Therasia for coffee and shared one Viennese Apple Strudel. The coffee is so smooth and with the added liquor, the fragrance is amazing!!! No question, this is the BEST Apple strudel I've tasted, crunchy texture for the outside crust and the filling is full of fruity flavors. We spent about a bit more than an hour there and that was the most relaxing, appreciating and beautiful moment among this Europe trip.

    Hmm a little torn on this review since I only came for breakfast one day, and didn't get to try…read moretheir pastries, however felt like the experience was pretty mediocre. Well known for being a beautiful and historic cafe established 1876 frequented by the likes of famous names like Trotsky and Freud, this traditional Viennese coffeehouse and cafe is a popular tourist destination. Having walked by around 7:30pm the prior evening and seeing a line of about 15 people outside, the next morning arriving around 9am the line was about 15 minutes without reservations. Upon entering the inside is beautiful, cavernous domed ceilings, chandeliers and a very classic bistro vibe. Enough seating for probably 150 customers, quite large inside, and about two-thirds full. That's when I realized the line outside was more for show, which at some places I get because staffing might be hard and they want to ramp up the pacing between breakfast and lunch services. In a place like this it seems more like a marketing technique to create hype, which kinda annoyed me--it's not respectful of customers' time. It took a while maybe 10 minutes for a staff member to pass menus, then another 10 minutes for him to come back and check in. What I'll say is he was swift to answer our questions and knew the menu well. In general service felt lacking though, after eating it took quite a long time to get our server's attention again to get the check. For breakfast I was a little surprised by the prices for the food offered, on the high side. While the vegan spreads were very good, from the menu it wasn't clear that it was actually vegan cream cheese that was the base of the spreads. Unfortunately the rest of the food was meh, €14.50 for a small croissant (not especially good), a plain roll, a boiled egg and latte, with a pat of butter and jam. Would I come back? Maybe to try a couple of their baked pastries and dessert, but not for breakfast. For more info: https://cafecentral.wien/en/

We were directed to go upstairs and found an open seat in no time at all. Just passing by all the display cases filled with desserts and pastries triggered the cravings. We did a quick menu perusal but really knew that we wanted to try the kaiserschmarrn which was a traditional Austrian dessert made up torn up pancakes, served with a plum compote and dusted with powdered sugar. It was light, had a nice caramelized flavor from browning in the pan and little pops of more sweetness from the raisins. It was so delicious that we came back the next day for more but shortcut the line and got it to go from the takeaway window. Same kaiserschmarrn but around 3 Euros cheaper for a larger serving. After eating we wanted around the restaurant and towards the back you can see just how the cooks juggled making many pans of Kaiserschmarrn at the same time. Yes it's a bit pricey but so tasty to try at least once.
