    Potato salad in picture was as wonderful as the schnitzel!!!
    Paul D.

    Fantastic food, beer and great service, enjoyed ambience and no rush from staff, like most places in Vienna.

    Apple strudel in hot vanilla sauce

    Great ambiance and even better food. I loved the soup with cut-up crapes, Vienna specialty. And apple strudel with vanilla sauce was delicious!

    Cafe Diglas came up in one of my searches for a must visit breakfast spot in Vienna. I ordered an omelette and cappucino. My cappucino was very good, but my omelette was extra cheesy and needed salt and pepper. I liked the ambiance and decor. Service was great.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Randomly found this place while walking along the streets of Vienna near our hotel. Food was delicious (small portion) and probably over priced. Service was a little slow and our server doesn't seem very friendly. I would pass.

    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.

    Their daily specials are so creative!

    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!

    Lovely place to sit down and have a coffee and a slice of cake or something more substantial. Very cosy inside. Beware though, no credit cards are accepted so make sure you go in with enough cash! The cakes are all home made and taste like it, very very very nice!

    Variety of meal selections daily. Classic meals like schnitzel. Food was served fast despite being so busy. I felt the prices were rather steep. All in all an average experience.

    Vienna Style Soufflé

    I had a very nice experience at Café Diglas. I stopped by for a quick spritzer and a traditional Vienna style Soufflé which was delicious but huge.

    pumpkin-coconut milk soup with pesto on bread
    Daisy S.

    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.

    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.

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.

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?
