    The Yelp App helped out so much when we ventured to Vienna for a friends 30th Birthday. Vienna is SUCH a great City, but staying in a lovely hotel away from the touristy areas and the busy shopping streets meant that we had no idea where to grab breakfast on a very rainy and grey morning. We typed breakfast into the app and checked out what came up. One of the top hits was Weltcafe (which was around a 20 minute walk from where we were staying) and having a peruse of the of the pictures and the description, it was clear that this was the place to be! Again... the Yelp app directed us to the cafe (which was reasonably easy to find) and we popped in to shelter from the weather and grab something healthy and filling to set us up for the day. First thing to note, the menu was in a variety of languages so we could easily see all the different platters that were on offer. There were also photos of all of the dishes, so you knew exactly what you were ordering too (which was very handy). We ordered our food and a coffee and settled in. The ambiance is very relaxed and I could see myself working in here with my laptop if I lived in the area. The staff were helpful and welcoming and we felt right at home. The coffee was fantastic and well needed after a late one the night before. Once the food arrived we were pleased to note it was exactly as described. Fresh, filling and tasty, I have no complaints at all about the quality. We popped in for a quick breakfast, but ended up staying for about an hour and a half (sipping several different coffees). The final cost for the two of us to have a healthy and hearty breakfast with (at least) two hot drinks each was under €20. We actually wanted to go back during our trip to try out the rest of the options, but there just wasn't time. When I get back to Vienna, I will definitely be heading back to the Weltcafe to try some more of their menu.

    Part of the Viennese charm are the classical around-the-corner cafés, yet this unconventional café fits perfectly with the more modern aspecs of the city. I've heard and read the Welt Café has amazing food, so I wanted to try it out and to be honest the food was really incredible! I had the Idonesian breakfast, combining hot fruits-filled-chocolate-dipped pancakes with a cold and refreshing yougurt. Also, you have to try the Mexican coffee, especially if you love cinnamon es much as I do on a rainy and cold morning.

    Plain but pratical.

    I really had a great time here and i would recommend it to anyone. It has two different parts that creates to different atmospheres. In the standard part with table and chairs for eating, you will enjoy a pleasant environment to enjoy the great food they have to offer. However if you use the other part which sofa and coffee tables, you will find the environment much more relaxed and very enjoyable for beverage drinking and chatting. My Personal points system out of 10, standard for Vienna is 5. Location: 7 Atmosphere: 8 Decor: 7 Size: 7 Non Smoking Area: Yes Coffee temperature(*2): 7 Coffee taste: 7 Service(*1): 9 *1=(Standard in Vienna is 5 on my scale) this is based on that you get serviced fast but you have to work hard to pay at the end) *2=(Standard in Vienna is 5 on my scale) I always have a Caffè latte as my control coffee. My coffee partner always has a Mélange.

    So this is what a curry that doesn't taste of anything look like

    It is not always easy to be a born Yelper and have that constant urge to discover new places instead of sticking to the old and already well-known and good ones. At least that is how I tried to explain to myself the waste of resources in Weltcafe the other day, including an almost food poisoning: the passion to discover also comes with a price. Not that I am a fan of other Weltladen products including super expensive mostly everything. But the idea of a cafe, which offers the whole range of organic/fair traded world foods, plus the tempting reviews of exotic breakfasts made me have to go. We went for an early lunch though, as the time of breakfast was already over, and brunch buffet on that red tablecloth was not all that appealing. I mean, you could have a mishmash from the buffet, and I guess you are even better off that way than with what we had. But after a brunch I usually feel full in an unorganized way, so I opted for a Hauptspeise. I found it very practical that you can have a curry and your husband e.g. a burrito at the same place. My husband ordered a salad with baked chicken though, and was regretting it the rest of the day. It is annoying because you can't undo eating it later on when you suffer. The only problem was not that the salad tasted of absolutely nothing, just to make sure that it meets the standard set by my absolutely tasteless vegetable so-called Thai-Curry.. but there were apparently also some rotten parts involved in it, which gave us headache and moreover tummy ache only later. I had to laugh at myself afterwards for carefully asking if my Thai Curry was going to be too hot, because that kitchen had obviously run out of most basic salt and pepper, not to mention some of the fancy spices Weltladen could have in its porfolio. I had a few bites and gave up at the point when the photo was taken. And then I wondered again, why is it not generally acceptable behaviour to send food back just on the basis of absolute lack of features that make food enjoyable? I couldn't complain that I found a hair or a spider leg, but this was also legitimate enough. Instead, we paid 17 eur for an attempt to eat and quickly switched to Francais to overwrite the experience with some low-risk quiche. By the way, the sofas are cosy to chill on for hours and the flair would have been enjoyable too, if only the food was edible. However, this place seems to be so well-frequented that I only suppose the others don't mind.

    The brunch buffet at this place is so over the top that it (almost) brings tears to my eyes. Usually a big buffet means subpar quality but not at this place. Everything tasted amazing, especially the falafels, masala rice balls, (simply) scrambled eggs(!!), bread pudding... Wow. What massive flavor. Mexican coffee as recommended by other yelpers was also great. Service is really freaking excellent and they have an English menu.

    Valentine's Day special!

    This is a great spot to just kick back and enjoy a coffee, tea, beer or even a tasty breakfast. I say breakfast as I haven't tried anything else. This is my go to breakfast location and they aim to please. My favorite is the English breakfast, but they do have a large menu with lots of other options. But like any other favorite once you find something you don't want to switch it for anything else.

    The breakfast with muesli and fruit filled pancake/chocolate sauce. Delicious

    Overpriced, slipshod and probably unhealthy. We ordered turkish and french breakfast plates and they were both really bad.

    Nice atmosphere, student prices, and very interesting coffees (e.g. pepper and cloves). I'll definitely go there again!

    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.
