    Iced Schokoccino. Cooled Chocolate Mocha. €6,5. It was great.

    This place has a great variety of desserts to choose from. Whether it be a banana split or your choice of many pastries. This place will not disappoint you. And if so, perhaps just a gambled choice of something you haven't have. Even so I'm sure you'll be pleased with their quantity and most of all their quality. I started with an Iced Schokoccino. Cooled Chocolate Mocha. €6,5. It was great. Especially if you're like myself and prefer without ice and it still be cold. I do so for the reasoning of the drink not being diluted and getting more for your money. I really dislike places that will your glass full of ice then pour your drink. Giving you approximately 1/4 if that of the drink itself. Let alone how watered down it'll be. Next was a Kardinalschnitte. Not sure how to pronounce it but it was good. €4,90. Last but certainly not least was a Waldbeer Stanitzel. Wildberry Mousse Waffle Cone. It was Fantastic. €5,60. I highly recommend this place especially the Wild Berry Mousse Waffle Cone.

    It feels like an obvious tourist cafe, but giving them kudos for having free wifi. Had the melange which was one of the better ones I've had in the city so far. The sacher torte was good, but not mindblowing. It's not as dense as Cafe Central, more moist than Oberlaa, and was actually better than the slice we had at Cafe Sacher (maybe it was an off night for them). It's really nice to sit outside and people-watch, but you start to understand why locals get tired of the tourists. There weren't that many smokers while we were there, which was really nice. You also don't have to worry about the smell of horse manure wafting over from the grand entrance, so that's another bonus.

    When you are walking around the Hofburg Palace visiting the Sisi museum or waiting for the guided tour of the Spanisch Riding School this is a good stop. There is a nice terrace and inside looks also comfortable. Café Hofburg has a good choice of food and different pastries. I had here a melange with Apfelstrudel and whipped cream, which was OK. This café is from the same group as café Landtmann, café Mozart, café Museum... The service could be better, when I was there 3 different waiters asked for my order and the order was brought in 2 parts. The location and the free WIFI is a plus. However there are better places in Wien.

    Delicious goulash!

    Demel - Sacher torte (€7.9)

    This review is specifically for the Kaiserschmarrn, which was unbelievable!…read more When you arrive at Demel, there are two areas - one is a window for quick takeout and the other is to be seated. We waited in the takeout line for about 15 minutes and ate the best Kaiserschmarrn ever! Something I didn't even know existed until visiting Vienna. Highly recommend checking out this spot!

    I visited Demel Vienna on August 19 during breakfast. I have always loved Demel from my previous…read morevisits, and I know it is a world-renowned and historic establishment, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I ordered my usual Kaiserschmarrn and a drink. I had noticed that the table next to me had a drink that looked good, so when the waitress took my order, I specifically told her that I wanted the same drink the table next to me was having. When my order arrived, it was brought by a different waitress. The drink looked completely different from what I had pointed to, so I asked her what it was. She told me it was a double espresso. I explained that I had not ordered a double espresso and again pointed to the drink at the table next to me, which was clearly a hot chocolate. The waitress then called over the waitress who had originally taken my order. Instead of simply acknowledging that there had been a misunderstanding, she insisted, "That's what you ordered." When I explained again that it wasn't, she told me, "It's the same thing." A **double espresso and a hot chocolate are obviously not the same thing.** What bothered me even more than the incorrect order was the way both waitresses spoke to me. Their attitudes and tone were extremely rude, dismissive, and demeaning--as though I was stupid for pointing out the obvious mistake. The interaction became uncomfortable enough that people sitting at other tables were looking over at us. To make matters worse, my Kaiserschmarrn was **cold**. It tasted as though it had already been sitting out for some time before it was brought to my table. I understand that mistakes happen. Had they simply apologized for the misunderstanding and corrected the drink, I would not have had an issue. Instead, I was argued with and spoken down to over something that could have been resolved in seconds. This was genuinely one of the worst customer-service experiences I have ever had at a restaurant, and certainly not what I expected from an establishment with Demel's reputation. After several previous visits that I enjoyed, it is extremely disappointing to say that I will not return and will no longer recommend Demel to my friends.

Loved the decor, made me feel like we were transported back in time. Our waiter came, dressed in his formal clothing despite the heat outside, and took our order. For me, an espresso, for my wife, a chocolate cake and water. My coffee was delivered on a neat little tray with a glass of water to go along with it. The waiter then pretty much left us alone as we took our time eating and drinking. Pricewise, the cafe seemed similar to other coffee shops we had visited during our trip. So why not more stars? Largely because the food being offered isn't vegan friendly. Maybe that is due to tradition, fine I understand that if that's the case, but I've heard that there are other traditional cafes in Vienna that do have vegan options. Just give me one. That's all I'm asking.

We went in on a lovely Sunday, and were pleased to get a table for the 4 of us right away. The place was cozy and felt like a living room or breakfast nook.
