The Vienna Coffeehouse Guide Pt. 1, Vienna, Austria

Winter in Vienna: There鈥檚 hardly snow but lots of grey clouds. It鈥檚 usually cold and quite depressing. People prefer to stay in during this season and if聽they鈥檙e getting tired of their own homes, they escape to their 鈥渆xtended lounge鈥� 鈥� that鈥檚 what a Viennese coffeehouse is called here. Once entered, it becomes pretty clear why: The Viennese caf茅 is the opposite of rush and rapidness. It鈥檚 a place to unwind, to chat with friends, to read the newspaper and to forget about time. It鈥檚 a place full with tradition, history, yet timeless. You won鈥檛 find any cold-brew-hipster coffees, but lots of inspiration, charm and pastry. Oh the pastry! If you鈥檙e having a sweet tooth like me, you鈥檒l be in heaven! Luckily my friend Marion from marestella.me helped me out by聽sharing the calories and聽now I鈥檓 going to show you聽the result of our coffeehouse tour聽

Let鈥檚 start with one of the most famous ones: Yes, Caf茅 Central is frequented by lots of tourists and sometimes you have to line up to get a table. But the reason why I have this on the list is the unique architecture and their amazing cake assortment. The prices are a bit higher than in other caf茅s but it鈥檚 unlikely you鈥檒l find a classier place to enjoy your melange (typical Viennese coffee with milk foam). Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Sisi are joining too (as paintings though). However, the frequency of guests is very high, so it鈥檚 not too inviting to stay there for hours鈥� 鈥撀爃ttps://www.cafecentral.wien/en/ ......
