Irina MikheevaNovember 2, 2016Really nice bright typical Vienna cafe with good selections of main courses. Price range is about 12€ for dish and a drinkUpvote7DownvoteUpvoted Dec 29, 2024- Gabriele GuidoniMay 4, 2019The 1950s armchairs, lamps and Mirrors design brings you in a time warp where you can smell a retro atmosphere made of dusty newspapers and live piano music evenings.

If you like the 50s you will love this iconic coffeeshop. If not, you will still like it a lot. Just have a "kleiner Brauner" and an "Apfelstrudel" and you will be happy.Upvote2Downvote
Travel + LeisureApril 28, 2014Across from the MAK, you’ll find this slice of 1950’s nostalgia, with a large terrace and menu featuring regional dishes such as soused herring. A pianist serenades guests in the evenings.Upvote1Downvote
Charlie Carlson-JamesFebruary 17, 2017Take a photo of your chosen cake and show it to your waiter. Much easier than attempting to say it in German. The food is excellent too.

FurukamaOctober 15, 2014Authentic 1950s decor and a typical Viennese coffeehouse menu. Try the special coffees or the homemade ice tea.
