I tried some desserts and aufstrich from Frankowitsch. My favourite dessert had chestnut cream and…read morea piece of chestnut on top of the little cake. I think the cream-filled cakes are probably the best. I also tried a heavier cake that was very dense that I didn't like as much. The cakes I bought ranged from around 4.40 to 4.90 Euro. There are also tiny versions of some of the cakes for ~2.50 Euro if you just want one bite. The Serbischer Aufstrich was fine. The aufstrich is sold by the weight, so you can get more or less depending on what you want. Service is very helpful and friendly.

The nice surprise was that they have soy milk too, and their soy coffee latte is simply amazing! Hmmm...

I dropped in for a quick coffee and dessert, not expecting much.

This is my dear friend's favorite coffee shop in Graz, and I totally understand why. Not only is…read moretheir coffee strong and smooth, and their food delicious, but it's such a nice place to hang out. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and we sat near the window to be able to look outside and people watch. It was so pleasant. I also loved the baristas made a little smile face art on the latte I ordered. It was so good, smooth and tasty. They had a little bar where you could add sugar and some flavorings to the coffee (my American self very appreciated this). They even had chocolate powders. Last, the bagel sandwich was YUM. A poppyseed bagel with pesto, tomato, spinach and egg, so fresh and delicious. They had a lot of tempting baked goods and sweets as well.

Apple streusel was fresh and tasty. Kid-friendly, and even has outdoor seating with blankets for smokers. Decor is intentionally rustic, but in some places a tad bit worn or sloppy (e.g. around A/C units) Strong recommendation for a casual morning!

Unfortunately, in winter you won't get any big salat. But they got quiches ;) As for the drinks, I had a wonderful Chai Tea Latte with soy milk (yummy!), and a healthy and tasty fresh pressed Smoothie with banana and Heidelbeer. On my word, it was amazingly good! My friends ordered some "Schwarzer", cappucinos, caffee latte as well as a hot chocolate (apparently a master piece!). Everyone was very pleased for their drinks, for everyone of us ordered a second one (or more!)! All in all, I warmly recommend this café!

Unfortunate, because the views from the rooftop of this 7-story building are expansive! There's no organization to seating (typical of Austria), so it's every man for himself. We opted rather to grab an available table indoors with no delay. Initial, drink, and food service was all quite prompt, and the Hugos we drank were perfect. I had the 100g (smaller) steak tartare with quail egg, which was one of the best I've had, and my wife had the eggs Benedict, also outstanding. The hollandaise was excellent. Breads for both dishes were fresh, warm, and flavorful. They accept Edenred coupons, which are a typical company benefit in Austria, so we paid the €33 before tip with these. Some places get confused when you pull them out, but not our waitress! Only not 5 stars because of the seating chaos outside.
