Getting to try the Sachertorte in the motherland was an absolute HONOR…read more Think chocolate layered cake with apricot jam coated in a crisp dark chocolate glaze. It's absolutely delicious and delicate. I have heard of so many places fighting to win the best Sachertorte so it was really hard picking the right spot to decide who was going to win my first impression. I will say, I was underwhelmed by the cake itself but more than anything, the staff here. You're a tourist so it's for sure a place that they just want you in and out for. Which is cool. But the experience itself was a bit disappointing. They do have an array of different beautiful and delicious looking cakes and treats. For the Sachertorte, it did run a bit on the drier side which I wishhhh it had a bit more moisture. Just that little extra bit would've made it an unforgettable slice of cake, even if the experience wasn't what I had in mind. Great place to stop in for a sweet treat. I wasn't a fan of my macchiato but there are other things on the menu to enjoy, maybe a nice tea!

Food arrived quickly and the staff was kind despite our lack of German. The earlier poor review complaining of bottled water didn't bother to learn anything about local dining customs. We had a good experience and enjoyed their coffee.

Still something of a secret despite success and awards, the Rudolfsheim area and 15th district in general more slow to modernize than other parts of Vienna, prices at Cafe Konditorei Rieppel trend lower than centrally located spots whether for Coffee, Pastries or even an unexpected slice of Pizza. Best known for Bread, Vollkorn with Sesame Seeds wrapped around room-temperature Wienerschnitzel a bargain for €4.20, Viennoiserie is noteworthy for Zauner Klipferl with entirely natural filling while Krapfen com in various flavors with an airy open crumb. Not English-fluent, though an understanding of Austria's Coffeehouse culture will help visiting guests make good choices, Linzerkipferl resembles Shortbread dipped in Chocolate with Apricot Jelly while Apple Strudel made the old-fashioned way comes crisp on the outside with Apples, Breadcrumbs and Raisins all competing for attention at the center.

Warning, the above map entry is wrong, but the written address is correct…read more I used to live in this area many years ago when it was very run down and "urig". Much has improved since then, but the area right around the Schwendermarkt is still very rough around the edges. I was soaking up this very different Vienese ambiance when I encountered a surprising bright spot. A brand new Schrott bakery! Intrigued, I headed in. It was well-lit and cheery inside. The man behind the counter knew his stuff and could tell us all about the various breads. It's a sunny, forward-thinking business in a section of the city which is rapidly changing.

I bought a loaf and immediately started tearing into it...without even cutting it. (To ensure you that I am not a savage, I was traveling and did not have a bread knife.) I like the bread's thick crust and soft interior. It is good with butter, jam, or even just plain. I have tried a few pastries here (poppyseed pastry, cheese Danish) and they are good, but I still prefer their breads over their pastries. Pastries are easier to eat without a bread knife though!

We were waiting for a table to open up and it was very close to the kitchen close time. Our sever took our order and put it in before the kitchen closed so we could still eat when it was time to sit.
