Amazing chocolate chip cookies, one of the best ones I’ve ever had. I also drank a very nice decaf latte and the service was just as good as everything was delicious. Recommend 100%

Very lovely cafe with great coffee and staff. We loved the capuchinio and cookie. Fast WiFi, plenty of seating with power and a great atmosphere.

Adorable little cafe right next to the Freud Museum! This place is so cozy and has beautiful lighting, with magazines and newspapers to read at the front. I didn't want to go at first because I thought it would be overwhelmed with people, but I was so pleased to see that there was only one other couple inside when we went. It was quiet, with gentle music playing! The man who served us was so kind and brought the cappuccinos to our table with tiny little glasses of water. They have baked goods there too — the croissants looked amazing but I'm vegan so I stuck to the coffee. They serve plant-based milk — yay! And this was some of the best coffee I've ever tasted :-) It's such a sweet place. I hope to visit again next time I'm in Vienna.

Excellent coffee and pastries, lovely owner with a sense of humor. They also do jazz/music evenings which are best enjoyed with a (beverage of your choice) on the porch.

Great spot Quiet, pleasent, not touristy, very welcoming and with terrific service. I ordered Viennese Melange and a Sachertorte. Coffee was good and well balanced. The torte was great - solid yet not at all dry, great chocolate and most importantly, good amount of a good apricot jam to give it the tartness it needs. Overall a great cake, sweet yet balanced, and a great option for all who are looking for a good Sacher torte but don't want to go to packed tourist spots.

Enjoyed a very nice cappuccino (creamy and delicious espresso) and fresh crossiant inside a very relaxing environment with soothing English pop music playing in the background. It's not that crowded this morning at 10:30 am on a Thursday. Right next door to the Freud Museum. They have free Wi-Fi. It's a perfect spot to work, too.

This is a calm cafe in quite charming district of Vienna. Atmosphere is relaxed, not too luck packed and design is relatively simple and minimalistic. Needs to mention friendly staff. Its a place that guarantees good service and delicious coffee. No unexpected surprises of Austrians rudeness here.

Visited for a quick coffee after our dinner somewhere else. Friendly welcome and good price. Very nice to sit outside on a warm evening. Cakes look very good!
