My wife and I will be back in Vienna this spring for several weeks of concerts and good coffee. We look forward to exploring your list of coffeehouses. We’ll probably visit one each morning until we’ve done the whole list. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much for this list. As a lover of coffee and cigarettes I can not tell you how pleasantly surprised I was to discover the coffeehouse culture of Vienna, and your list was my guide. We tried all of the ones we had time for, not all on the list but most, two of them even made me utter some profanity in my delightful surprises. Excellent list! Thank you again.

I visit 2 or 3 coffeehouses each day when I’m in Vienna – morning coffee, dinner before the opera, and dessert after the concert. I will add your selections to my list. Sorry to hear about Cafe Prückel’s indiscretion…the schokolade-ingwer torte there is truly unique if you’re a chocolate lover. Also, I really like Frauenhuber. I’ll definitely visit your list the next time I’m in Vienna. (And BTW, Cafe Francois, across from Votiv Cathedral, has some great salads if one is, like me, vegetarian).

and what about Cafe Central and Cafe Hawelka? Visiting Vienna on 21st Aug.
I am in Vienna on that day as part of a 12 day Euro trip from India. Your suggestions are awesome. I don’t know how to fit it all in 1 day. The Palaces, Opera, Naschmarkt, area around Drahtgasse, Prater, Museums, Otto Wagner Church. Don’t know what to miss !

Hi Annie!
Well I’m glad you feel that way ;)
It’s true that there are many old-school (I’d rather call them traditional) coffee houses in Vienna, but there is a vibrant and modern scene as well and coffee houses pop up like mushrooms at the moment (but luckily not mass-chains like Starbucks).

I have to admit, I thought all cafes in Vienna were just like the ones I saw in Before Sunrise, like Kleine’s, you know, kind of old school. Your first few though blew my mind with how stylish the Vienna cafe can truly be and I look forward to visiting on my next trip!

Hi Dmitriy! Sounds like a cool plan, but unfortunately I have to admit that I’m probably not the best person to give advice on this. I have no clue what would work in Moscow – Sorry ;)

Hey Swan!
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Vienna.
Well, there are so many coffee houses in Vienna, it’s really hard to name just my 10 favourite ones :) Hawelka, Prückl, Demels, etc. are of course all famouse ones as well, which I can recommend too.
Many greeting to KL!
Best, Nisa

Hallo! I’ve just returned from Vienna. Miss the coffee and Kaffeehäuser and Kaffeehauskultur (was at Cafés Central, Mozart, Prückel, Hawelka, Demel, Landtmann… also Café Stein at Währinger Straße) during the three months I was there. Unfortunately I haven’t been to any of those you’ve mentioned :( but hope to find them the next time I am in Vienna!! My favourites were Cafe Hawelka and Cafe Mozart, but I also really miss the coffee at Kaffeeküche. Schöne Grüße aus Kuala Lumpur :)
