“Life begins after coffee” - for me that’s true. If I haven’t had at least one cup, I’m neither functional nor capable of things. Vienna seems to be the perfect place to live for coffee lovers as me then. This city is notorious for its grand coffee tradition und culture. Since we Viennese people are spending half of our days in a “Wiener Kaffeehaus” (cliché alert!), here are some Favourhoods tips where to get the best in town.
5 traditional Viennese coffee houses
(some as dark & moody as the coffee)
All five are situated in the central 1st district of Vienna:
- Kleines Café
Situated on the lovely and beautiful Franziskanerplatz .
- Café Engländer
Locals meet there for casual morning business meetings.
- Café Landtmann
Home for leading industrialists, politicians and thinkers. Sigmund Freud and Gustav Mahler used to go there.
- Café Hawelka
Very artistic place with a unique atmosphere.
- Café Central
Situated in a former bank this Café impresses with its spectacular architecture.
