    If I had to think about the top five things I've ever eaten, this place would take the cake…read more(figuratively and literally, hehe) in terms of dessert. Like Demel, Cafe Central is a MUST visit when you go to Vienna, where the coffee houses are a sight to behold on their own. Yes, the wait is quite long. Every time I pass by, there's a line, but it actually goes rather quickly and if you can find something to do to pass the time, it's like nothing at all. First off, the interior is STRIKING, a work of art in its own right with marble columns, stylish looking cafe tables, and paintings every where you go. Apparently Sigmund Freud has been a frequent patron here. Even if you were to get nothing at all, just the experience of sitting here is worth your eyes absorbing. But, oh!--the cakes--and the coffees! I had me an iced coffee that had a great body mixed with a delicate flavor to give me a jolt through the day. The hazelnut cake was airy and fluffy, not at all too sweet like American desserts have a tendency to be! The staff here move efficiently, and I love how there's no pressure to hurry up and pay your bill or make your order. A repeat place to be sure if I were to go back to Vienna. My twin and I went on Sept '25 for our vacation.

    The famous Cafe Central!!! I was so excited to go here that I almost gave up because of the long…read moreline. I went around 9:00 AM. The line moved pretty quickly, though, and I waited about 30 minutes. The interior is stunning. I was completely enamored with the architecture and the structure of the building. I was not overly hungry, but I wanted to try the goulash and the apple strudel. Get the strudel with the sauce. 10/10. Amazing. I would absolutely do it again.

    Stopped by here to check the place out. We had the Apple strudel and some mulled wine in the…read moreoutdoor cafe area. The strudel was decadent. We then proceeded insude to have a light dinner, the wait was minimal. They took our coats and seated us. The waiter took our orders. We had beef soups, and beef goulash. The food was good not outstanding. We were so full we could not have any additional dessert. Once our order was taken we never saw the waiter again. No one checked on us and we waited so long for the Check, we had to ask two different people. I expected better service at this type of establishment.

    I appreciate that it was easy to get reservations (although in the end we didn't use them since…read moreopted to sit outside) and this was the perfect spot to start our vacation in Vienna. We had both dinner and dessert as well as coffee. The schnitzel was impeccable--well seasoned, moist meat, and not oily nothing like the subpar versions I have had at home. Our youngest had a bread dumpling with mushrooms--this was rich but delicious as well. For dessert, we had the Landtmann original and apple strudel. Both cake slices were moist and flavorful.... hands down both desserts were the best we sampled while in Austria (and narrowly edged out Demel for us). The decaf coffee was fantastic as well.... although we were so impressed by the food we were equally grateful for the exemplary service--prompt and friendly. Will dream about visiting this cafe again! I'm surprised at the mediocre reviews.... this was one of our favorite spots in Vienna!
