Viennese coffeehouse culture was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural assets in 2011.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are around 2,200 coffeehouses in Vienna, ranging from elegant traditional caf\u00e9s to simple bistros with standing room only, and from spacious caf\u00e9-restaurants to cozy caf\u00e9-patisseries. In the capital\u2019s classic coffee houses, the wait staff are still dressed in black, and the d\u00e9cor is as like it was in the \u2018good old days\u2019: wooden floors, marble-topped tables, simple Thonet chairs and plush bench seating. Traditional Viennese coffeehouses usually also have a wide range of national and international newspapers for its guests to peruse. The complimentary little glass of water served alongside each cup of coffee is an absolute must, whatever the location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011 Vienna\u2019s coffeehouse culture was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. According the official report, \u201cthe coffeehouses are a place where patrons consume time and space, but only the coffee appears on the bill.\u201d This perfectly captures what a traditional Viennese coffeehouse has to offer \u2013 other than a delicious Melange coffee and a slice of fresh Gugelhupf. The city\u2019s coffeehouses are the ideal place to take time out, and open to all echelons of society. Then as now, the capital\u2019s coffeehouses fulfil an important social function. People go to them to philosophize, lounge about, meditate, read the paper, gossip, flirt, play billiards or chess, talk to friends and strangers about everything and anything. And, of course, enjoy coffee and the odd slice of cake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Im Laufe der Zeit m\u00f6gen sich die Kaffeeh\u00e4user ver\u00e4ndert haben, die Gr\u00fcnde, sie zu besuchen, sind die gleichen geblieben. Noch immer ist das Caf\u00e9, wie Stefan Zweig in \u201eDie Welt von gestern\u201c schrieb, \u201eeine Art demokratischer, jedem f\u00fcr eine billige Schale Kaffee zug\u00e4nglicher Klub, wo jeder Gast f\u00fcr diesen kleinen Obolus stundenlang sitzen, diskutieren, schreiben, Karten spielen, seine Post empfangen und vor allem eine unbegrenzte Zahl von Zeitungen und Zeitschriften konsumieren kann.\u201c Nicht daheim, und doch zu Hause kann man sich hier f\u00fchlen. Oder: allein, und doch in Gesellschaft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the coffeehouses might have changed over the years, the reasons for visiting them have very much stayed the same. As Stefan Zweig wrote in Die Welt von gestern, the caf\u00e9 is still \u201ca democratic club where a cup of coffee can be had cheaply and where for this small sum every guest can sit, discuss, write, play cards, receive mail and, above all, consume an unlimited number of newspapers and magazines for hours on end.\u201d The caf\u00e9 becomes a home from home, where you can be alone in company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Home from Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the poet Peter Altenberg \u2013 or at least a papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 version of him \u2013 still holds court in Caf\u00e9 Central in Herrengasse in the first district. In the first third of the 20th century this was Altenberg\u2019s postal address and where he had his Stammtisch (\u201cregulars\u2019 table\u201d), the place where he would meet up with Adolf Loos, one of the most important Modernist architects, and his wife Lina, the actor and essayist Egon Friedell and the writer Alfred Polgar. Today the atmosphere at Caf\u00e9 Central is distinctly upmarket and bourgeois. During the week it is popular with businesspeople, while at the weekends visitors to the city encircle the papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 poet and listen to the piano music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caf\u00e9 Hawelka is also located in the first district. Its popularity and artsy image dates back to the post-war period when the little coffeehouse kept its doors open until midnight. In the 1950s and 1960s the writers, artists and intellectuals that frequented Caf\u00e9 Hawelka turned it into the home of the anti-bourgeois oppositional artist movement. Numerous literary figures regularly met there including the members of the Wiener Gruppe (Vienna Group) \u2013 H.C. Artmann, Konrad Bayer, Gerhard R\u00fchm and Oswald Wiener. And although a fair amount has changed at Hawelka since those times, one thing has stayed the same: it still serves delicious Buchteln (a hybrid donut\/brioche creation from Bohemia, typically filled with damson jam) fresh from the oven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important meeting place of the big names of turn-of-the-century Vienna (Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Joseph Roth, Karl Kraus, Georg Trakl, Elias Canetti, Hermann Broch, Robert Musil, Leo Perutz, Alban Berg, Franz Leh\u00e1r, Oscar Strauss and Otto Wagner) was Caf\u00e9 Museum, which first opened its doors in 1899 in a prime location by Naschmarkt and the Secession building. The pared down interiors, created by one of its later regulars Adolf Loos, provided an aesthetic counterpoint to the widespread historicist opulence found elsewhere in the city, earning it the nickname of Caf\u00e9 Nihilism. In 1931 the interior of the caf\u00e9 was remodeled by Josef Zotti, a student of Josef Hoffmann. After several closures and a number of redesigns, Caf\u00e9 Museum reopened in 2010 with the Zotti design concept restored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Coffee-II.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Coffee-II.png 1024w, https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Coffee-II-980x383.png 980w, https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Coffee-II-480x188.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 WienTourismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Brilliant blueprint&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were once 27 traditional Viennese coffeehouses on the Ringstrasse Boulevard, but only precious few survived the wave of coffeehouse closures in the 1960s and 1970s. Some of them have been restored, taking them back to their former glory, such as Schwarzenberg on K\u00e4rntner Ring and Landtmann on Universit\u00e4tsring. Others found themselves suddenly reborn as contemporary espresso bars. In addition to a popular \u2013 and thriving \u2013 coffeehouse tradition, the philosophy and practices of Third Wave Coffee and the latest international coffee trends also have their place in the city: sustainability, natural purity, fair trade, direct trade, a wide variety of flavor profiles, own roasts and new and old preparation methods from cold brew to drip filter all play a role. Alternatives to traditional coffeehouses that are a far cry from the typical marble tables, Thonet chairs and waiters in black suits are booming in the city. \nIn addition to a popular \u2013 and thriving \u2013 coffeehouse tradition, the philosophy and practices of Third Wave Coffee and the latest international coffee trends also have their place in the city: sustainability, natural purity, fair trade, direct trade, a wide variety of flavor profiles, own roasts and new and old preparation methods from cold brew to drip filter all play a role. Alternatives to traditional coffeehouses that are a far cry from the typical marble tables, Thonet chairs and waiters in black suits are booming in the city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such example is Kaffeefabrik on Favoritenstrasse in the fourth district. This small, quirkily decorated store sells roasts from its private roastery using beans sourced from all over the world, as well as coffee to go. Akrap Espressobar in K\u00f6nigsklostergasse also has its own roastery, only this time it\u2019s in Milan. The finished product is available in countless different varieties including the caffeine packed Triple Shot. POC \u2013 People On Caffeine have set up shop in a highly unusual location: the wing of a church in the eighth district. Here, customers can enjoy coffee underneath the historic vaulted ceilings from a classic espresso machine or made simply using old fashioned drip filters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Servitengasse, an idyllic side street in the ninth district, Caff\u00e8 a Casa offers products from its own roastery. Espressomobil follows a completely different business model \u2013 having reduced the coffeehouse format to a three-wheeled Italian moped. These mobile coffee vans park up at some of the city\u2019s busiest squares in the mornings, switch on the machines and serve up premium coffee to take away until lunchtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excellent coffee is also the order of the day at Caff\u00e8Couture in the grand Palais Ferstel. The beans are roasted by the barista in person at the company\u2019s other branch in the ninth district. Praterstrasse in the second district is another place for fans of fine-brewed coffee, with Supersense and Kaffeebar Balthasar among the go-to destinations. Meanwhile, at Kaffemik in the seventh district each month brings different varieties from guest roasteries. With its echoes of a colonial grocery store, Wiener R\u00f6sthaus in the eighth district roasts its own beans on site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erwin Gegenbauer, known locally as the \u201cVinegar pope\u201d, is famous for his excellent vinegars, but also roasts coffee on Naschmarkt where he offers three different blends. Aromatic freshly-roasted beans are also available from the Alt Wien roastery on Schleifm\u00fchlgasse. A number of major players on the capital\u2019s coffee scene also roast their own beans, including Aida, Julius Meinl and Naber.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Viennese specialties&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People love to drink coffee in Vienna, ideally with a slice of something sweet to go with it. So it comes as no surprise to learn that the city is home to a proliferation of bakeries and pastry shops with their own caf\u00e9s. While it is true that guests may not spend quite as long sitting in them as they would in a traditional coffeehouse, they certainly tend to walk out having consumed more calories. Aida, the archetypal Viennese Caf\u00e9-Konditorei, is a chain of more than 30 caf\u00e9-patisseries located throughout the city. In a candy pink interior, the display cabinets are filled with cakes, pastries, croissants, strudels and much more besides. The finest baked goods and pastries can also be found at Kurkonditorei Oberlaa, with Sacher and Demel\u2019s legendary products another option. But it also goes without saying that Vienna\u2019s \u201cnormal\u201d coffeehouses also have a wide range of sweet treats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that sets Vienna apart is the sheer variety of traditional coffee specialties on offer in the city. And although not every coffeehouse upholds this proud tradition and offers all of them, the hard and fast rule still applies: never order just a \u201ccoffee\u201d. These are just some of the options: a Schwarzer or Mokka is a strong black coffee without milk; a grosser Brauner or kleiner Brauner is a large or small black coffee with a shot of cream; a Verl\u00e4ngerter is a small black coffee \u201clengthened\u201d with hot water and available with or without milk. A Melange is a shot of espresso \u201clengthened\u201d slightly with hot water, topped up with hot milk and milk foam. Other slightly more exotic specialties include the Kapuziner (small black coffee with a few drops of cream), the Franziskaner (light Melange topped with whipped cream), the Einsp\u00e4nner (large Mokka in a glass with lots of whipped cream), the Fiaker (Mokka in a glass with a shot of rum) or the T\u00fcrkischer (unfiltered Mokka). Numerous international varieties including Espresso, Cappuccino, Caff\u00e8 Latte and Irish Coffee are now also commonly found on traditional Vienna coffeehouse menus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Vienna has yet another coffee-related tradition all of its own: the Coffeehouse Owners\u2019 ball <em>(www.kaffeesiederball.at)<\/em>The event is organized by the Viennese Coffeehouse Owners\u2019 Club, an association that represents traditional and innovative coffeehouses alike. Highly popular among the city\u2019s residents, this elegant ball takes place during the carnival season at the Hofburg, attracting around 6,000 guests each year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cake.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cake.png 1024w, https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cake-980x383.png 980w, https:\/\/vienna-local.guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cake-480x188.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 WienTourismus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Viennese coffeehouses \u2013 selected highlights&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aida&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest-profile of the 30-plus locations operated by the chain (est. 1925) in Vienna.
