    Flat white, pastries
    Jeff B.

    A very nice, street side, coffee shop with plenty of seating outside and inside. I had superbly made flat white and complimented with a nice pasty. Was really impressed by the flat white so we went the following 2 days since we were staying close by.

    Cortado + almond croissant.

    Coffee: 4 Pastry: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Coffee: 4 Base espresso was fine--not superb, but definitely decent. Their lattes and mixed drinks are solid enough to cause me to round them up to a 4. Pastry: 4 My almond croissant was tasty and reasonably priced. Complemented my cortado quite well. Atmosphere: 5 Balthasar truly excels in this regard. The shop and everything in it are beautiful. Their choices in color and furniture are delightfully whimsical, and it surprises me that the whole place works so well (remarkably little clashing for such bizarre choices). The outdoor patio is also gorgeous.

    Coffee + croissant

    Loved the atmosphere! Killer iced latte, and a lovely croissant! This was the perfect hang to catch up with an old friend, and would be great for studying as well! The staff was super friendly, too! I wish I lived here so I could be a regular!

    Cafe latte

    The best coffee in Vienna! Coffee is soft and very tasty It's a very good place to meet with friends or to chill and read a book. Usually you would meet the owner there. They have self service. Barista is very friendly and smiling. It's a place you wanna come back!

    Mini Guglhupf and Latte
    Bibi R.

    Love love love this place! I stumbled upon this gem by recommendation of a friend who lives in Vienna. I am currently sitting here, sipping the best latte I have had in a long time and eating their Mini Guglhupf, a tiny cake with chocolate glazing. They offer free wifi and the atmosphere is cosy and modern at the same time. The staff and the owner are super nice, bathrooms clean and clientele very pleasant. I will come back here in the next few days until my visit is over.

    Cafe latte!

    My friend recommended this shop when I came to visit and I wish we had something like this back at home. Fresh, amazing coffee with cute coffee art for amazing prices. Love it!

    Iced espresso and iced caffe latte

    Super cute coffee cafe down the street from our hotel. Me and my friends were wandering up and down the street, looking for a place for coffee and people watching in 97 degree weather and came across this little gem. The barista was friendly and helpful, making us delicious drinks. I enjoyed watching her hand-shake the milk to top my iced latte. The drink was smooth and didn't need too much sugar (which is crazy cuz I always need lots of sugar in my coffee!). Loved the decor and artsy atmosphere. Will probably be back in our time here!

    Favourite coffee shop in Vienna. Excellent beans and roast, and the best flat white you'll find in Austria.

    If I had to think about the top five things I've ever eaten, this place would take the cake…read more(figuratively and literally, hehe) in terms of dessert. Like Demel, Cafe Central is a MUST visit when you go to Vienna, where the coffee houses are a sight to behold on their own. Yes, the wait is quite long. Every time I pass by, there's a line, but it actually goes rather quickly and if you can find something to do to pass the time, it's like nothing at all. First off, the interior is STRIKING, a work of art in its own right with marble columns, stylish looking cafe tables, and paintings every where you go. Apparently Sigmund Freud has been a frequent patron here. Even if you were to get nothing at all, just the experience of sitting here is worth your eyes absorbing. But, oh!--the cakes--and the coffees! I had me an iced coffee that had a great body mixed with a delicate flavor to give me a jolt through the day. The hazelnut cake was airy and fluffy, not at all too sweet like American desserts have a tendency to be! The staff here move efficiently, and I love how there's no pressure to hurry up and pay your bill or make your order. A repeat place to be sure if I were to go back to Vienna. My twin and I went on Sept '25 for our vacation.

    The famous Cafe Central!!! I was so excited to go here that I almost gave up because of the long…read moreline. I went around 9:00 AM. The line moved pretty quickly, though, and I waited about 30 minutes. The interior is stunning. I was completely enamored with the architecture and the structure of the building. I was not overly hungry, but I wanted to try the goulash and the apple strudel. Get the strudel with the sauce. 10/10. Amazing. I would absolutely do it again.
