Iced Schokoccino. Cooled Chocolate Mocha. €6,5. It was great.
Jason L.

This place has a great variety of desserts to choose from. Whether it be a banana split or your choice of many pastries. This place will not disappoint you. And if so, perhaps just a gambled choice of something you haven't have. Even so I'm sure you'll be pleased with their quantity and most of all their quality. I started with an Iced Schokoccino. Cooled Chocolate Mocha. €6,5. It was great. Especially if you're like myself and prefer without ice and it still be cold. I do so for the reasoning of the drink not being diluted and getting more for your money. I really dislike places that will your glass full of ice then pour your drink. Giving you approximately 1/4 if that of the drink itself. Let alone how watered down it'll be. Next was a Kardinalschnitte. Not sure how to pronounce it but it was good. €4,90. Last but certainly not least was a Waldbeer Stanitzel. Wildberry Mousse Waffle Cone. It was Fantastic. €5,60. I highly recommend this place especially the Wild Berry Mousse Waffle Cone.

It feels like an obvious tourist cafe, but giving them kudos for having free wifi. Had the melange which was one of the better ones I've had in the city so far. The sacher torte was good, but not mindblowing. It's not as dense as Cafe Central, more moist than Oberlaa, and was actually better than the slice we had at Cafe Sacher (maybe it was an off night for them). It's really nice to sit outside and people-watch, but you start to understand why locals get tired of the tourists. There weren't that many smokers while we were there, which was really nice. You also don't have to worry about the smell of horse manure wafting over from the grand entrance, so that's another bonus.

When you are walking around the Hofburg Palace visiting the Sisi museum or waiting for the guided tour of the Spanisch Riding School this is a good stop. There is a nice terrace and inside looks also comfortable. Café Hofburg has a good choice of food and different pastries. I had here a melange with Apfelstrudel and whipped cream, which was OK. This café is from the same group as café Landtmann, café Mozart, café Museum... The service could be better, when I was there 3 different waiters asked for my order and the order was brought in 2 parts. The location and the free WIFI is a plus. However there are better places in Wien.

Delicious goulash!

Wanted a more "traditional" coffee experience so whittled the list down to three and then selected…read moreCafe Hawelka. We were met outside by a host who led us to a seat inside the cafe. Loved the decor, made me feel like we were transported back in time. Our waiter came, dressed in his formal clothing despite the heat outside, and took our order. For me, an espresso, for my wife, a chocolate cake and water. My coffee was delivered on a neat little tray with a glass of water to go along with it. The waiter then pretty much left us alone as we took our time eating and drinking. Pricewise, the cafe seemed similar to other coffee shops we had visited during our trip. So why not more stars? Largely because the food being offered isn't vegan friendly. Maybe that is due to tradition, fine I understand that if that's the case, but I've heard that there are other traditional cafes in Vienna that do have vegan options. Just give me one. That's all I'm asking.

We went to this lovely Cafe on the recommendation of our cruise director, and because of its…read morehistory (opened in 1939 and frequented by the likes of Arthur Miller and Andy Warhol). We went in on a lovely Sunday, and were pleased to get a table for the 4 of us right away. The place was cozy and felt like a living room or breakfast nook. The owner sat nearby enjoying a coffee and came by an asked us how we liked our visit. The coffee was very good and the strudel was delicious as well. Highly recommend!
