The Scoop on Cake in Vienna, Vienna, Austria

The whole Vienna cafe scene really made me curious. Would it really be better than Paris? How could cake actually be that amazing? Was the Sacher torte even good?

I'm super fortunate to have had a full five days in Vienna over Easter break this year - and will be able to return again with my visiting friend, Kia, come June. Instead of trying to do five cafes a day on an insane sugar rush, I decided to spread out my Viennese cafe experience over the two trips.

Did I mention I'm including the ice cream places? Desserts are inseparable and part of the whole experience in my book!

This cafe was spotlighted as one of the most famous, and it was even discussed in my German class. It was absolutely beautiful, but the food and drink were boring and pricey.

If you're staying out this direction, it can be a nice ice cream place. I had a basic tasting chocolate milkshake here. But overall, not interesting, and, again, overpriced.

This place is a gem. It's right smack in the middle of the bustling tourist area, but totally affordable with a delicious menu. I had breakfast here, but the cake selection looked like the typical Viennese fare. The only thing that snaps you back to tourist reality is the waiter hovering over your check waiting for his tip. Be quick, or they'll take more than you actually mean to tip! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
