    Cappuccino in a cone? Love this cool concept but probably the most expensive coffee in Vienna. Coffee was light but nothing special imo. Service was friendly. It's a window coffee and there is no place to sit down so you would need to finish your coffee as soon as possible or you will waste your €12.

    This is a hole in the wall coffee place in Vienna. We stopped by because we saw their waffle cone coffee on Google. I ordered an iced espresso caramel macchiato which was delicious. My boyfriend got their waffle cone coffee, it was good but very expensive for the amount of coffee you get. It was 11€! The amount of coffee inside the waffle cone was the size of a small. It you want a unique experience try their coffee in waffle cone just beware of the price. Overall it's a great place to get coffee and support a local business.

    I saw this place on IG and had to get a coffee in a cone! Since the coffee shop is not on a main street, there was no queue (rare for a December day in Vienna). They have a full line of coffees, but their signature is the latte in a cone. The coffee was great! It melts the chocolate that coats the cone, which enhances the flavor. The staff was friendly and fluent in English. The main con is that the cone is a bit pricey for what you get. Also, the experience is cool but becomes cumbersome quickly as biting too much from the cone can spill the coffee. I would still recommend it if you are a coffee lover :)

    We were looking for something different for coffee and we were luckily just a 2 min away from this cafe! It's such an awesome spot. You will order through the window and take out. It's quick and easy. The service here was so great. They were very sweet and recommended different options on our taste. Since we were in the mood for coffee but something refreshing, they recommended the espresso tonic. This was very refreshing and strong. Then, we also ordered the affogato which was also strong but sweet with the icecream :). I do recommend visiting this spot for a cool and delicious coffee experience! Enjoy ;) -IG: travelfoodie_ishy

    It is quite simply, the best coffee I have ever had hands down. Stayed in Vienna for a week and came here every single day. The coffee is so smooth and flavorful and I got a different one every day I went. Even bought merch and two bags of coffee beans to take home. If you're staying in Vienna and don't come here for coffee, you're an idiot.

    Oh... oh my. I'm not sure I've ever been so smitten with a coffee shop in years. Between the menu, which combines third wave contemporary with fantastically unique starbucks style dessert coffees, to the very sweet woman who works there to the groundbreaking exposure to a latte in an ice cream cone, Fenster Cafe is everything. It works here in Vienna, it works at their location in Bratislava, and it could very, very easily work anywhere in the world especially in this instagram-age. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Fenster cafe is just that, a tiny little window completely run by a single person. There's no seating and you might expect a line, so plan accordingly if the weather isn't ideal. From there, the service is efficient and friendly and completely embraces the aesthetics of their products. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? €5,50 got me a latte (I suppose a cappuccino really) in an ice cream cone lined with chocolate, and that's a solid price point just about anywhere. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? The internet tells me that the whole coffee in an ice cream cone had an Australia-driven moment in 2016 but more or less fizzled shortly after especially in the United States. While that may have been the case, I'm more than certain that the concept would catch fire today, and Fenster Cafe could well inspire that charge. This was perfect. It was the right amount of coffee in a cone lined with Chocolate that essentially made it a mild mocha, and the structure wasn't at all messy. There're not much more to say really - this was marvelous and I only wished that I could have sampled some of their other specialty beverages like the oreo latte or the salted caramel macchiatto. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Absolutely. Star.

    Latte in a cone

    The cone is definitely a little gimmicky but nonetheless a pretty good cup of latte. There is some chocolate on the inside of the cone to sweeten the coffee up a little bit as well.

    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.

    Hmm a little torn on this review since I only came for breakfast one day, and didn't get to try…read moretheir pastries, however felt like the experience was pretty mediocre. 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.
