If you're looking for hot chocolate in Vienna, look no further. This is certainly a good place to be, and people know it too. Upon entering, we were met by complete chaos: the lines were out the door, and the system difficult to discern. There's upstairs seating, downstairs seating, and it's hard to tell what's what. The wait wasn't as long as we thought it might be (probably about 15-20 minutes), although there was no way to know when we walked in. The service, both before sitting down and after, was my only criticism during our entire visit. Everything we tried was delicious (because we couldn't just get the hot chocolate, of course). We tried the legendary bot chocolate, both with Bailey's and without, and we're even tempted by several of the menu items, including Powidlbuchteln mit Vanillesauce, which were described as yeast dumplings filled with plum jam vanilla sauce and Schokoladen-Nuss Soufflé (also pictured), which was a chocolate nut soufflé. Both were delicious, the yeast dumplings (pictured) struck me more as a variation on a puff pastry than yeast dumplings, whereas the soufflé came across as a decadent chocolate cake. We also picked up an apple strudel (see picture) from the pastry case, which we couldn't help but try, and it was definitely worth it. On the way out, we couldn't resist a quick stop in the gift shop, where we also picked up some chocolate for the road. I'd recommend going for the Apple strudel, perhaps trying a sachentorte, another classic dessert, and definitely ordering got chocolate. Try to get there at a time when it may be less crowded or PRO-TIP: make a reservation (didn't realize this was possible until getting there). Undoubtedly worth a stop during a trip to Vienna, even if just for the experience. read more
