Bare naked realness. We need more of it in this unsexy era of globalisation-fast and furious expectations. I enjoyed the quiet, the space, the loud fridge, memento of the past. I am unsure what people imagine when they sit for a drink or a meal. Expensive? Inflation is hitting Austria as well guys. I am happy to pay a bit more for authenticity.

Absolutely loved it. Warm, cosy, a total blast from the past... So if true vintage is your thing, you'll love it. Decent bit of strudel too

We got two apple strudels to take away as we had already had dinner. Delicious strudel! The man who served us and looked like he was the owner was such a lovely person, seemed very genuine and happy to have us. We will go back soon for some food. Very affordable :)

If you want to relive the old Vienna and its romantic coffee/restaurant places, this is a place to be. Still remains unchanged, un renovated with all original furniture untouched. You can enjoy coffee, wiener schnitzel (rather nicely done), or simply a glass of local wine. A special touch is the waiter who is on par with the interior.

Fantastic, cozy, vintage coffee house. Great and hospitable service. The Apfelstrudel was amazing, and I find the prices very affordable. Comfortable to work in as well.

An old school cafe with an old school look. Cash only (not a problem, just FYI). Great Wiener schnitzel for a reasonable price. The veal Wiener schnitzel comes with a tasty berry jam and all come with a potato salad and pickled vegetables that cuts the oil and meat of the schnitzel.

The coffee shop is pretty local, with vintage pool table and board games. The man in the shop is friendly and recommended to us the traditional dessert. The food looks simple but taste amazing. If you want to find some restaurant truly local and traditional Vienna style, don’t miss this one!
