Wanted a more "traditional" coffee experience so whittled the list down to three and then selected…read moreCafe Hawelka. We were met outside by a host who led us to a seat inside the cafe. Loved the decor, made me feel like we were transported back in time. Our waiter came, dressed in his formal clothing despite the heat outside, and took our order. For me, an espresso, for my wife, a chocolate cake and water. My coffee was delivered on a neat little tray with a glass of water to go along with it. The waiter then pretty much left us alone as we took our time eating and drinking. Pricewise, the cafe seemed similar to other coffee shops we had visited during our trip. So why not more stars? Largely because the food being offered isn't vegan friendly. Maybe that is due to tradition, fine I understand that if that's the case, but I've heard that there are other traditional cafes in Vienna that do have vegan options. Just give me one. That's all I'm asking.

We went to this lovely Cafe on the recommendation of our cruise director, and because of its…read morehistory (opened in 1939 and frequented by the likes of Arthur Miller and Andy Warhol). We went in on a lovely Sunday, and were pleased to get a table for the 4 of us right away. The place was cozy and felt like a living room or breakfast nook. The owner sat nearby enjoying a coffee and came by an asked us how we liked our visit. The coffee was very good and the strudel was delicious as well. Highly recommend!

When I envisioned a Viennese cafe, this is what I expected…read more I went for breakfast, as I didn't do the hotel's (30 Euros for breakfast buffet was ridiculous). So for less than 10 Euros, I got the Little Breakfast, which was a croissant with jam, butter, along with tea/coffee and orange juice. That's all I really wanted for breakfast that morning. The croissant was pretty large and warm. It's wasn't the greatest croissant but it was with lamination and tasted buttery. The piping hot tea and freshly squeezed orange juice rounded out a nice starter to the day. Service was mostly friendly, though I didn't have to interact much. I was greeted at the front by FOH and the server was friendly enough. The decor here is quite lovely, with that 19th century feel. The display cases of desserts looked inviting. If I was around the area longer, I would've stopped by for a strudel. There are newspapers available for diners to read as they're sipping their coffee. Where do you find that in the States anymore?

It's everything I wanted in a Viennese cafe -- friendly, great coffee and food, relaxed and cozy…read moreatmosphere. It felt like history, if that makes any sense. It's a gorgeous old space, like a grande dame of a cafe and I was so here for it! Prices are amazing, too. You're not paying extra for some pomp and circumstance - just solidly tasty coffee and a gorgeously simple breakfast. I had eggs and ham and it was maybe €7 and it was probably my favorite simple breakkie of my entire trip. LOVED the proprietor. Didn't catch his name, but even with a bit of a language barrier, he was so friendly and just vibed.
