This little place was lovely. We ate here on a Sunday night during the Advent season. The food was excellent (veal schnitzel and pork cordon bleu for the win) and the service was phenomenal. We clearly did not speak German but tried our best. We were rewarded with grace and patience. The cappuccino was excellent as well. Huge portions. read more

It's fine. We went in for breakfast, and the servers were polite but a little uptight. I know the Viennese aren't known for expressing their feelings, but in our experience that's a bad rap - they're just as open and nice as anyone if you are friendly. But here, it felt like I was at my Austrian auntie's house and I was about to get in trouble for putting my fork down too hard. It was a weekday morning and not very busy, but the service was still a bit slow. The food was competent, but nothing special. I thought the prices were just a bit high for the quality and quantity. The location is great, right in Josefstadt. But we found other breakfast places nearby that we liked better. read more

The service - extremely slow, but I think the regulars are so great that they don't need the extra tourist. The food - good / very good! The coffee - great! The setting - normal for Wien Local hot spot - Yes! Transportation - located right outside U-Bahn and streetcar Surrounding area - Great / Josefstädterstrasse is a happening and healthy street to shop at. It's perfect for a coffee, breakfast and lunch break. The crowd is mixed and at the same time average. The wait time is long so be ready spend an extra 5 - 10 minutes on ordering and paying. read more

Cafe Hummel - Coffee time! - Cafes Near Me - Vienna, 9

Good selection of food choices. They have English menus. Open on Sundays. The waitresses are super friendly. Lots of seats. Can't really say much about the food since this was the first Viennese restaurant we ate at once we got here. Overall, food was pretty solid, coffee was very good The goulash soup was super salty. The schnitzel was good. Their Viennese coffee was very good, it was a lot smoother and less acidic than American coffee in my opinion. They also had a variety of breakfast options which was solid. read more

Café Hummel is one on Vienna's most successful neighborhood cafés. It is easy to see why. This is a large café which winds around the building....and of course in warm weather a large Schanigarten also awaits. There is always some place to sit. The food is certainly good and they always have a few specials. The service is usually efficient and actually bordering on friendly. You will see many regulars reading the newspapers or playing a card or board game together. Other people pop in for a quick coffee or meal. Whatever .... it works. This is def a café I can recommend to visitors in Vienna. read more

A nice place for breakfast if you're around. The setting is a typical older Austrian place which I like being a tourist. The food is good and waiters are friendly enough. It's funny that most places have different areas for smoking & non-smoking and the non-smokers are always located at the back.. A lot of locals in this place as well which is a good sign. read more

The coffee is okay, but as a non-smoker I felt treated like a second class customer. The smoking section is in the back, as an after thought. Then, what looks like the owner, keeps proping the door open from the smoking section, so that there's plenty of smoke to creep in and settle into the non-smoking section. The waiters are not particularly friendly, either. In Vienna, I can easily find better coffee served by nicer people in a more pleasant surrounding.... read more

I have been here only for their coffee and breakfast and am thoroughly pleased with that. Their lunches look great though and I may have to go back again:) Breakfast is served til 2pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, but normally til 11am on weekdays. I took advantage of a holiday and had a late breakfast meetup and enjoyed an oversized omelette and coffee. My friend had the oriental breakfast, and I have to say I have seen better versions of this breakfast elsewhere. We made a reservation and had no problem getting seated and service was generally nice. You just have to ask for everything here. They won't come check up on you if that is what you are expecting. read more

Good for coffee and pie- but stay away from the other food. I have been to Hummel several times, it's definitely one of the nicest traditional coffee houses in Vienna- the coffee's great, the pie is great, etc. etc. Then i went to eat lunch there with my parents- bad idea. Everything on the lunch and dinner menu is made from frozen convenience food- but it's still priced pretty high. Wiener Schnitzel vom Kalb (veal Wiener Schnitzel) was a couple of pre-breaded, thin, dry, pieces of previously frozen meat. The quality was that of pre-breaded Schnitzel from the supermarket- for 14 Euro! The other dishes were the same- we didn't enjoy a single thing they served us. Maybe it's stupid to want to eat lunch in a coffee house, but there is a minimum level of quality that i would expect from any established place like Hummel. Other Viennese cafes, like Floriani or Jelinek, have very decent food on their menu- fresh stuff made on order, not this kind of crap. So go there, watch football, drink beer or coffee, but don't order anything that might be deep-fried straight from a box. read more

Good location, but slow, indifferent service. On more than once visit the coffee was actually weak (in a city known for strong, highly flavorful coffee!). But I've never been here for breakfast, and from what I have heard that is the best time to visit this place. read more
