Vienna Cafés, Coffee Shops and Coffee Roasters

Vienna Cafés and Coffee Shops:

Vienna has many famous and grand cafés and coffee houses like the Café Residenz, Café Hofburg, Grand Café, Café Demel and Café Landtmann which are fit for royalty and those who like a bit of pampering.

But for the coffee enthusiast who is looking for interesting coffee houses and some of-the-beaten-track coffee experiences, Vienna has just as many coffee houses that are full of character and atmosphere.  What’s more, Vienna is a city where many coffee roasters promise to cast a spell over visitors with their coffee aromas.

The following list of cafés and coffee shops and coffee roasters may be worth exploring.

VIENNA CAFES AND COFFEE SHOPS AND COFFEE ROASTERS
Cafe Engländer Postgasse 2, 1010 Vienna www.cafe-englaender.com	This cafe enjoys good reviews from gourmet guides which rate it as one of the best coffee houses in Vienna. It has great atmosphere and its restaurant serves fine food and it is also a popular hangout for newspaper readers, night owls and non-conformists.
Cafe Korb Brandstääte 7-9, 1010 Vienna www.cafekorb.at	Vienna Coffee House This eatery has been described as “plain, with somewhat worn 1960s interior.  It has none of the grandeur of Demel or Hotel Sacher, or the old Viennese charm of Cafe Diglas.” But what it lacks in grandeur and charm, it more than makes up with its knockout warm apple strudel, one of Austria’s most famous pastries. The current owner Suzanne Widl was an actress, artist, art collector and quite a personality in Austria.
Cafe Bräunerhof Stallburggasse 2 www.braeunerhof.at	Café Bräunerhof is a classic and traditional Viennese coffee house which lies in the heart of the Old City antiques district between the Imperial Palace and Graben.  They sometimes have life music performances here.  Unfortunately their website is still being redesigned.
Cafe Drechsler Line Wienzeile 22, 1060 Vienna www.cafedrechsler.at	The original Cafe Drechsler began in 1919 but it was re-modelled to its present 21st century stylish design in 2007 by Sir Terence Conran.  Lively place opposite the Naschmarkt and they offer takeaway coffee.  Austrian and International papers and WLAN available here.
Kleines Café Franziskanerplatz 3 1st district, off Kärntnerstrasse (a big shopping street).	This tiny cafe is owned by an Viennese actor and exudes a Bohemian atmosphere.  It has a splendid outside seating area in summer. A perfect off-the-beaten-track location!
