Charming Viennese café! Tucked away from the more touristy spots, it offers an authentic experience at very reasonable prices. The menu is only in German, but don't let that deter you-- the staff speaks just enough English to help you navigate the basics. The vibe here is casual and relaxed. (Note: they only take cash). read more

Exceedingly unfriendly personal, especially hostile towards non-native tourists. Much overpriced menu. Avoid at all cost.

If you are looking for a coffee house with bad coffee and rude waiters that talk behind your back, then this is your place. Please keep in mind that I grew up in Vienna and this used to be my favorite coffee house. Yes, the atmosphere is interesting and original (and hasn't been updated in decades), so if you want to experience that just walk inside and take a look. But don't stay too long or they will yell at you. They also don't want groups of more than 5 people. You also can't pay with credit cards. It's really a shame, this place had potential but ruined by greedy and shortsighted management as well mostly rude waiters (the Dutch guy is nice and ok). I recommend some of the other good coffee houses, like Cafe Schwarzenberg or Frauenhuber. read more

We had our first dinner in Vienna here. The service was quick and efficient. Definitely get the apple strudel for dessert. read more

We had a group of 4 and walked in this cafe looking for a place to eat and have coffee. The waiters walked passed us for 10 minutes ignoring us and when we finally were asked how many people we had which was 4, they ignored us and pulled a group of 5 from behind us in line to be seated. Very disrespectful and wouldn't recommend anyone to come here. read more

My favorite cafe in Vienna. We went for a casual lunch and to continue our quest for the perfect apple strudel and Sacher torte. With coffee melange of course. The server suggested a couple of items for lunch as they don't really have a menu and they were both perfect - a couple sausages on sauerkraut with potatoes and a salad with a chicken pieces on top. Perfect. Coffee was great and so was the apple strudel done right with flaky skin. Such a nice casual environment where locals and us were reading the newspaper and enjoying our day. I want to go back! read more

Cafe Bräunerhof - Apple strudel. Yum! - German Near Me - Vienna, 9

A typical Viennese café and restaurant close to the historic center. Ideal for a coffee and an appel strudel. read more

Here in the Café Bräunerhof you can expect to experience truly the Austrian Coffee House Culture (CHC) as it was in the old days. You can trace the famous Austrian-Dutch writer and playwright Thomas Bernhard who many Austrians still consider to be the most disputed critic of Austrian culture. You can sit here in the Café Bräunerhof in a Thomas Bernhard's favorite coffee shop when he was in Vienna. You can feel how it must felt for him to read the news papers and to get upset of what you read and immediately write a critical note, critique or comment. Above you see the typical reading collection of an Austrian philosopher, cultural critic or Austrian in the classical sense, as it was the legendary Thomas Bernhard for Austria. Unfortunately the Bräunerhof closes early at 20:30 / 8:30 pm (in the summer times at 19:00 / 7 pm) is keeping up with its traditions more than providing contemporary amenities, therefore plugs or even WiFi is something you search in vain for. But to be honest these kind of modernity is nothing you search for when you head to the Bräunerhof, since it's is among the 10+ most famous Viennese coffee houses. The Quality of the Marillenfleck (apricot cake) and the coffee (Wiener Melange) is very good, the waiter (Herr Ober) is friendly, the prices are reasonable and appropriate for Vienna's most elegant 1st district. And the Bräunerhof is one of the few traditional Austrian coffee houses in which you get in touch with the Austrian culture and history the most, in a culinary way of course. So if you want to have a touch-down in the Austrian culture and want to get a feel for it, go with the Bräunerhof, located in the Stallburggasse 2, in 1010 Vienna, on your next trip to the city center.

Lovely cafe in the center of Vienna! It was our first stop for a coffee and cake when we arrived in Vienna, and did not disappoint. The apple strudel was so delicious, and the coffees were perfect. It is not modern or hipster, which we really liked. It felt authentic and genuine, and it was nearly impossible to pick a dessert since they all looked so amazing! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this place and over all i quite liked it. I felt really good in this place, although for me the color of the walls and the poorly looked after furniture did not suit my overall satisfactions. But i over looked this part of the venue and focused more on the importance that it keeps the old Viennese style and service one comes to expect in a place like this. My Personal points system out of 10, standard for Vienna is 5. Location: 6 Atmosphere: 7 Decor: 3 Size: 8 Non Smoking Area: Coffee temperature(*2): 6 Coffee taste: 6 Service(*1): 5 *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

Cafe Bräunerhof - Inside. - German Near Me - Vienna, 9

Feels like a time warp back to some Cold War era cafe in Germany. Menu is all in German. Good coffee and breakfast. Less touristic feel than other cafes. Waiters do speak English. Highly recommended. read more

Cute throwback to the 1950's in this cafe. Stopped in for a Saturday morning breakfast about 9 am and the place was relatively empty. Neat layout and booths, daily newspapers on the long sticks! The one waiter there was extremely nice and accommodating. We both had omelette and the bread selection at your table was good. Great breakfast stop in Vienna. read more

So, to the comments above, the Braunerhof is exactly what they have said it is, except that they've completely missed the point. It's a Viennese Café, for Viennese people, and they really don't like tourists. The staff prioritise their clients from the longest known down, and once you've been there for a few years they start to notice you. Relax and enjoy the atmosphere if you want to learn how the local population live, if you want a 'have a nice day' coffee, there's a Starbucks round the corner! However, in terms of the local cafés, there are better ones around so only 3 stars (Can't comment on the viruses obviously, I didn't catch one) read more

Careful, will try to take advantage of unsuspecting tourist with inflated "service charge".

standard cafe menu, its selection of newspapers, waiters in suits and its clientele of Austrian artists and intellects -- it has all the ingredients of a traditional beloved Viennese cafe. read more
