An excellent location to immerse yourself in the distinguished viennese coffee house culture. As opposed to cafe shwarzenberg, the servers at hegelhof are not snobbish and will not shrug you off, which is why we left shwarzenberg to come to this cafe instead. We spent sometime here just chatting and evading from cold weather. We had viennese coffee and the Sachertorte (viennese chocolate cake) as a combo for a pretty reasonable price. There are also brunch and dinner plate here which looked very palatable for a very good price as well. What's the most important to enjoy here though, is the atmosphere. If I had more time I would spend an entire afternoon here either to talk to friends or to read books.

It seems like Caffe Milano used to be better a while back, when I first moved to Vienna. I would…read moremeet my fiancé here for lunch and we'd frequently each get the daily special, which comes with tomato soup. Unfortunately, the past few times I've gotten the special, not only was the soup cold, but the main dish was also cold! Ick. (These dishes are supposed to be served hot, or at least warm!) However, their coffee is still pretty decent, and you can get unsweetened iced coffee drinks here (with blended ice, that's key). I really like being able to sweeten my own coffee. I'd stay away from the "warm" dishes (they also serve sandwiches and paninis), but the coffee is fine. And, for those of you interested, the waitstaff does speak some English, and there's free wifi.

We found this little gem close to our rental apartment on our first day in Vienna. The restaurant…read morewas cute with plenty of outdoor seating. The service amazing our waiter (Aleks) was professional & courteous, exchanging conversation & recommendations. Our drinks were delicious. I ordered the minestrone soup it was good but not exactly what I expected. Hubby had the beef wok with little spice, it was good but still really spicy. Our friends ordered the Risotto Chicken Curry & the Pizza News. Both meals they said were excellent & each would order them again. The Risotto was his absolute favorite meal he's eaten during our entire trip so far. Trust me when I say that's a huge compliment. **** UPDATE **** I hate making BAD reviews but this post needs to be added to. We visited News Cafe on Sunday & Monday evenings which resulted in the above review. However, Tuesday we went at noon & talk about a different story. The two female waitresses were absolutely rude. We arrived & ordered drinks first, I ordered on Aperol Spritz, hubby hot breakfast tea & water for the third person in our group. What we got was nothing we ordered, I got a fizzy apple juice (tasted but did not drink, it was gross similar to sparkling apple juice in the states) hubby got earl grey which he didn't care for either. The servers avoided our table like we had the plague. No it was not busy. We finally got someone to return to the table I reordered my Aperol Spritz & was actually asked if I wanted it with wine or prosecco, prosecco it was. I asked for the daily special (tomato soup with mixed green salad) and was informed I couldn't make up menu items. Said I wanted the tomato soup, it was tasty obviously freshly made. The guys ordered fries & once again received rude looks & eye rolling. After finishing our snacks we decided that if this had been our first experience we never would have returned. If you want a great experience at News Cafe go on the weekend/evenings when Aleks is working you won't be disappointed.

So many options, especially great since my boyfriend has a gluten allergy.

Since it is near the university mostly students are going there but I must say that the prices are not that cheap, however they have good offers for lunch for around 6.90€ soup and the dish included. They have different kinds of hot chocolates, like spicy ones! Very interesting! As its name their menu is not stuck on one cuisine, but many different ones. Time to time they also have special weeks like Mexican week and etc. In the summer you can sit outside and enjoy coffee under the sun! It is a worth trying cafe!

I actually know what I mean by it .... but prob no one else will .... so I'll try to say it another way. The Welt Café is a consistently cool café that provides all the expected amenities of a Viennese café in its own quirky kind of way. And I really like that it specializes in a lot of fair-trade foods as well as organic. The clientele is quite varied although the nearby university certainly provides much of the customer base. In warmer weather their outdoor sidewalk Schanigarten is the popular spot, in cooler weather their brightly colored interior helps chase away the winter blues. When I am in Philadelphia, the World Café there is an iconic establishment. Well the Welt Café (World Café) in Vienna is on its way to becoming a classic as well.

It was a tight space. They sat me with someone I didn't know. All good. She read. I looked around. Took the place in sipping on my Viennese coffee and eating a pastry. It was quite the experience. I didn't know what to make of it. If I enjoyed it or was there to just be there. It doesn't matter. It was one of those experiences that will always be with me. The rain. The stuffiness. The smells. The people. I did love it.

The place is cozy, warm, and has some old-school charm. There were people meeting and chatting, and a couple folks studying and on their computers. I didn't try any cakes (though they were tempting) but I did enjoy a grüner veltliner and a white wine gespritzt. The server seemed a little brusque until he realized I spoke German, but I was seated in a spot where I could easily flag down the server so service was prompt. If you're looking for that Viennese cafe experience, this is a good spot to check out!
