It doesn’t always have to be a traditional café to get to know the Viennese café culture. You can also enjoy the Viennese way of life in one of the trendy cafés.
You can enjoy traditional coffee from Helmuth Sacher in the "15 süße Minuten ("15 sweet minutes") snack bar. That the name says it all can be seen in the range of pastries and homemade waffles. The place is small and fine, but lives up to its name perfectly. Because sometimes a quarter of an hour is enough to enjoy something with all your heart (and palate).
The Kaffeefabrik is the right place if you don't want a run-of-the-mill souvenir to take home with you. In this shop you will find virtually everything to do with coffee: the scent of the Viennese roasted coffee will remind you at home of your visit to Vienna. And there is certainly also time for a good cup of freshly roasted coffee.
Three sisters from Vorarlberg make it possible in Vienna to combine a grocer's shop and a coffee house in such a way that a visit here is really pleasurable. All the products are homemade - and prepared with love: whether chocolate cake or refreshing lemonade. What makes the Guerrilla Bakery special is their motto "Fuck the baking mix", because their pastries contain only the best ingredients.
Fashion and culinary art somehow belong together. That this combination can work is proven by the Wunderladen in Argentinierstraße. Fashion fans' mouths will definitely begin to water at the selection of Austrian young designers in the vintage living room atmosphere. Good that there is also something to eat here. It's the right place for (fashion) hungry people.
Proper coffee experts know where this little café gets its name from: here on Karlsplatz, between the underground station and the Vienna University of Technology, there is just the right thing for caffeine lovers - namely an excellent "coffee to go". Whether cappuccino, melange, caffè latte - the main thing is that it is with caffeine. Not only popular with students, it is worth stopping by at the Knockbox.

The perfect refreshment after a shopping tour on the Mariahilfer Strasse
You will definitely need some refreshment after a shopping tour on Vienna’s most famous shopping street. But even if it is just a snack in between, it should still be something special. There are numerous small shops and pop-up stores in the area which exactly fit the bill.
You don’t always have to be in the heart of the city to enjoy typically Viennese specialities. In the 2nd district, around the Prater and the Karmelitermarkt, there are lots of quick snack possibilities which are just right if time is short.
