EVERYTHING was amazing about this cafe! the ambience, the decor, the service, the coffees, the food/desserts... 10 stars if i could!! i don't make my way to Europe much but Café Mozart is 100% getting my visit again if i am ever in Vienna again! in the 3 short days i was in Vienna while hubby was in business meetings, i went to Cafe Mozart 4x!!! and this was also with me checking out other cafés (Belvedere Palace, Café Prückel, Schwarzenberg...) I kept coming back to Mozart's and brought my husband one evening as well! my only request: when i'm back in Vienna, everyone who is reading this review, please don't go to Café Mozart. i want to be seated quickly !!!! read more

Food was good. Service was good. Ambiance was good. What was not good is three major things. NO air conditioning running, not even fans, on a sweltering day. Men's bathroom had a toilet seat completely detached and was literally just sitting on the toilet. I sat on it and slipped off the toilet. Not to mention the bathroom was sweltering even worse and I'm sitting on the toilet dripping with sweat. Finally and possibly most insulting, there is a charge for TAP water even when we bought other food. Ridiculous. All of that is enough to negate all the good points and assure we will never return. read more

My friend and I stopped at Cafe Mozart for one of our first stops in Vienna. We were there for an afternoon coffee and cake. I had their Strawberry Pistachio Cake (strawberry cream, pistachio cream, sponge cake, and strawberry glaze) with a Maria Theresia (double espresso with Cointreau, whipped cream, and orange zest). My friend had their classic Mozart Cake (pistachio cream, chocolate mousse, and chocolate sponge cake). Everything was delicious. (This is just a small slice of what they offer. They have tons of cakes and coffees, but they also serve full meals as well. So it's an option for strudel, schnitzel, plum dumplings, goulash, and more.) The cafe has an interesting history: Oskar Hornik purchased the coffee house and named it after the Mozart monument at the Albertinaplatz in 1929 (it had existed in different iterations and locations for many years before that). After the Anschluss (the Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938), Hornik was forced to sell the cafe at an extremely low price (Aryanization). After the war ended, the cafe struggled and changed owners and uses until 1993, when a family purchased the cafe and focused on restoring it to its earlier glory. The interior of the restaurant is charming - you can see its nod to the past, but it feels quite modern at the same time. And the service was very good. We really enjoyed taking a little break from our day at Cafe Mozart. read more

Excellent location in the middle of the city. Long line to sit inside, self-sitting outside. The staff is friendly and helpful. Stylish interior inside. Restrooms require walking downstairs which might not be accessible to people with limited mobility. The savory items are quite tasty and desserts are okay. Everything is severely overpriced. At the end of the day you get bragging points for having visited a famous cafe. read more

Great spot right across front the Albertina Museum and there Tourist Info Center. We got in street a short wait, 5 minutes, and were seated. We ordered two Viennese Melange coffees and a trifecta of desserts with a small plate to share for lunch. We've been dying to try all these Viennese desserts we see online and on YouTube. The sausage plate was terrific! Served with normal mustard, sweet hot mustard and freshly ground horseradish with beef gravy. Every bite was flavorful and really mixed together well. That's one of the things we've noticed most in Europe versus the states, they mix as bunch of items together that you look at and think, "That's an odd choice", but then you taste them together and it's a wonderful combination. Try this plate for a small bite to keep you moving! Of the three desserts which had the Landtman Bakery label on them: The orange cake was wonderful! It's a brand new offering and it was light, tasty and refreshing. Can't recommend enough! The apple strudel with vanilla sauce was fine. The apples and the sauce were terrific. The crust was disappointing. It was soft and lacked flavor and just underwhelming which took away from the rest of the dessert. I'd get this elsewhere. Last was the cherry torte cake. We didn't want to go cliche and order the Sacher torte so we tried this variant. It was very good! Light cherry taste and the cake was moist and light, not heavily sugary like US desserts. Even the chocolate was light. We weren't dying of thirty after eating any of these like in the US, they just use do much less sugar in Europe. The coffee was delicious abcs deserves the worldwide praise it received. Chocolaty and light with hints of roasted nuts. Very good. Of note, don't pay for water! They bring water with any coffee you order in Vienna so just drink that for free. Even tap water costs money! read more

It was a tourist-y area so maybe the prices might be a bit more than if you go elsewhere. However, service was good and the outdoor seating area had mists so it was not as hot since it was during the heatwave. Food/Drinks: 1. I got an iced tea and while it was good, it wasn't outstanding but it was refreshing for sure on a hot day! 2. Schnitzel entree. It came with the salad that was good, I noticed the different cities in Europe they liked to drench the dressing and let it soak in the veggies. The potato salad was very good, too. They were just chunks of potatoes but the way they seasoned it was very good. The main character: the schnitzel was amazing. They flattened the pork until it was very thin and it had a very nice light batter around it. It went well with the lemon and jam but also on its own, too. It was delicious and I would come back again and hope to have a bigger appetite to try their desserts, too! read more

We had our first meal in Vienna at the Mozart Cafe. It was one of a few places that had quick a long line, so our thinking it was decent enough to warrant many people wanting to dine here. Personally, I've never heard of this place. The only claim to fame is that it is one of the establishments in the Sacher Hotel. We perhaps waited 20 to 30 minutes. We were seated at a booth at the window. We had a nice view of the Albertina across the street. I started off with a traditional Viennese soup consisting of beef consume, noodles and a large bread dumpling. For my entree, I had the veal loaf and mashed potatoes. The soup was amazing and I could have eaten another bowl. The veal was tasty but the brown gravy was overly salty. My spouse got the Viennese fried fish. I was thinking the fish would be breaded and fried like Schnitzel. However it is beer batter fried! I would stay away from that if you're looking for traditional Viennese cuisine. To end the meal, we shared the kaiserschmarrn. It was good but for what it was--the ones you get at the Christmas markets seem more interesting. Next time!! read more

Vienna's Cafe Mozart boasts an ornate interior and a delightful ambiance. It is exceptionally busy on New Year's Eve, however the waitstaff remained attentive. Mozart's Landtmann's Heiße Schokolade is on par with Vienna's finest cacao, albeit at a steeper price point. Thicker consistency without an overbearing sweetness. I enjoyed the tangy flavors in the seasonal Himbeer-Vanilleschüsserl. The fresh raspberries and rose-pink cream toppings were particularly appealing, however the tart's crust was unexpected dry and brittle. The Trüffeltorte was an unexpected disappointment. Despite an impressive presentation, the cake sponge was dry and stiff. Worse, the torte filling was underwhelming, and falled to convey a chocolatey experience. Overall, Mozart's ambiance and exceptional hot chocolate compensated for the lackluster truffle torte. I am interested in returning to sample their rendition of the famous Sacher Torte. I would recommend visiting this cafe at least once. read more

Historic Viennese cafe close to the Opera House. Charming interiors with beautiful chandeliers and a selection of newspapers, though all were in German. Sachertorte was delicious and nicely presented. Cappuccino and the cafe melange were decent too. Service was prompt and friendly- no grumpy waiters in this cafe. For movie buffs out there this is the cafe where some scenes of Third Man were shot and Orson Welles and Graham Greene hung out! read more

This was a fun place to visit on our recent trip to Vienna. I believe it to be a bit touristy and you could find more "local spots" but the location and the ambiance is truly amazing.

We stopped here for an afternoon cafe break, as it had the shortest line of the few cafes in the area. Line moved quickly and orders deliver quickly as well. Drinks and food are ok but the request to add tip ah the end of the meal was a downer.

I'll first start off with the food. I ordered the steaksandwich which was more of an open faced deconstructed sandwich. It was decent. The steak wasn't glorious but wasn't horrendous. The atmosphere of this place was amazing. It's kind of a tourist trap as the prices were very expensive. I chatted with the waiter in German and he was very polite. In summary. Great spot. Pretty overpriced. The waiters will ask for a tip. read more

This was one of the RUDEST places I have ever been to in my life. I was standing right in front of the "please wait to be seated" signed waiting for someone to help me for over 10 minutes and no one even acknowledged me, despite multiple workers walking past me a dozen times. The last straw was when one of the workers talked to a German speaking lady that came in five minutes after me. I don't recommend this place at all - everyone working there seemed incredibly rude and hates tourists. read more

We stopped in here during our day trip to Vienna to grab a coffee and apple strudel. We felt like we couldn't leave Vienna without trying apple strudel. I will definitely say this place has become an Instagram place. Everyone around us was posing for photos and taking photos of their food. We were able to sit down right away which was nice. We both ordered a coffee as well. I will say overall, our food and drinks were like the best thing ever but they were solid. This is a great place to say you went. It is also located close to all the main attractions. We didn't get food other than the strudel but their food looked pretty good. Also a note of cultural differences for Americans visiting: 1. is when you are done, you need to ask for the check. 2. check what tipping norms are, I think we were told traditional tipping is around 10% 3. when you finish your water, you need to ask for more water, they do not have someone you walks around filling waters. Overall, I recommend for anyone visiting to check this place out if you want to be able to say you went. I am sure you can get better coffee and strudel elsewhere but this is such a well-known place we felt like we couldn't miss it. read more

You first approach this stunning building and walk into the sweetest cafe. First glance is the pastry case then adorable seating that you can find yourself spending hours just sitting & sipping on a coffee & dessert. We really enjoyed the hot chocolate & lattes. With certain drinks, they serve them up with a special Mozart chocolate ball. It really felt like we were in a different country. The staff were so friendly and if it was a warmer day, we most definitely would have enjoyed patio seating. read more

The service was instant and considering we came Saturday lunch !!!!!! We had two beers, Caesar salad and the apple strudel. The strudel was exceptional and the salad was well... a Caesar salad !

What a special environment. One gets a sense that this is a local spot and very classy without too much prevention. They offer gluten free options but few are both gluten and dairy free. I ordered bacon and eggs and it came out beautiful! The bacon is thin like prosciutto and they make the eggs Sunny side up. I ordered a black coffee, which was interpreted as espresso, which was a great surprise because that's actually what I wanted! The espresso is delicious and they provide hot water if you want more of an americano (I didn't). Definitely worth stopping in! read more

It was ok. We went after seeing Cinderella opera at the Vienna opera house, a 3 minute walk. It was 10:45 pm and fairly empty Ordered the Apple strudel with vanilla cream. It was good. And the chocolate layer cake which was just ok read more

This place was so nice that we ended up here twice. Besides the fact that it's been named in a movie or 2 and has had famous creatives frequent it, it also has great food and excellent service. At first, we just stopped for drinks. We had different spritzes on offer. They were both delicious. We then returned for lunch and had the white asparagus soup. It was divine! Would have loved to try more of their seasonal asparagus dishes but it was our last day there. Highly recommend if you're on the area. read more

Location is smack dab in the middle of Vienna. While the location is good, the sachertorte and the coffee that I got with it were mid. Honestly, wait in line for the real deal at Sacher hotel around the corner. There are 3 shops in the hotel that sell the "original" Sachertorte. read more

When we couldn't get in at out first try at Sacher we settled for this place right around the corner. It was empty so that should have been a sign. The 'Sacher' torte was very dry. I just didn't eat it and stuck with the cappuccino. The waiter was very gratuitous and quick with the service, I was just unhappy with the torte. The had lots of different pastries to choose from. I would pass on the Sacher torte. read more

I hate giving such bad review but Cafe Mozart had such terrible service. It not only takes so long to get a table, the food comes out painfully slow. I think we waited about 45 minutes on food and another 30 minutes just to get refill on waters. What makes it worse is that they charge for tap water...2.5 euros to be exact for a small glass jar of water and anther 2.5 euros for refills. Food was ok. We had cheeseburger and Caesar salad. It was as expected but for the service or the lack of, not worth it at all. We initially wanted dessert and coffee after our meal, but changed our minds quickly when we realized how bad the service was. It would've taken another hour for it I am sure. read more

Is it touristy? Sure. Is it cheap? Nah. But the coffee and desserts were delicious and the architecture was beautiful. I would recommend at least stopping by for a melange and compare it with other coffee shops in the area (like Cafe Central). If you are visiting Vienna, Cafe Mozart is a cool place to relax and restore some energy. As famed Austrian scholar Charles P. Thompson would say, "try to realize it's all within yourself, no one else can make you change". read more

I am an Asian who visited alone. When I called the waiter (a white-haired man with glasses and an old man), he pretended not to see me and did not come right away. He went to other customers first. When I asked if I could pay in cash, he did not answer properly and only said louder the amount I had to pay. I wanted to leave Vienna with good memories, but I feel bad because of that waiter. read more

Food was great, a group of us dined there twice in Aug.2023. Wiener schnitzel was excellent, so were the veal medallions (actually meat balls, but very tasty) . On another occasion bit tired of Wiener schnitzel and wanting a lighter meal, I had an excellent Caesar salad with salmon. Others I'm my party had it with giant shrimp. We tried the apple strudel (The real thing!!! not the puff pastry americanized version) the Mozart torte, hazelnut torte, choc torte, the cake portion could have been a bit more moist, but those thin crisp dark chocolate coating & ganache fillings were so very good. The waiter came with a hand held card reader giving each of us our own bill, real nice when dining with a group of people .Weather was beautiful, we set outside. Googling the place later, I'm sorry we didn't explore the beautiful inside. read more

Food was overpriced and not just mediocre, but honestly kind of bad. I got this egg dumpling dish, which charged an extra 3 euros for truffle oil. It was basically scrambled eggs with egg dumplings (just eggs mixed with flour by the taste of it). Normally I don't waste food and try to finish everything, but this was just so bad that I could not finish it. The texture was just so strange, and the truffle oil did not make things better. There was a nice view from the restaurant, but that was about it (and frankly, you could get the exact same view just standing on the street next to the restaurant). read more

My friend and I were tired walking around Vienna and found this very welcoming place to just sit down and relax with some coffee and pastries. We did notice it was a bit higher prices than the other cafes but after a long day walking it really didn't matter, and you could have fun people watching as well from the seats. The food here was alright for a main course, and the desserts didn't feel extraordinary but they were fine. The coffee was great, and service was alright... otherwise it definitely felt like a tourist trap cafe. read more
