    Traditional Viennese Soup! Delicious.

    This place is a little hidden gem. We were seated immediately. The service was quick and the menu is extensive with a good variety of food and drink items. The ham and cheese omelette was exceptional.

    The staff seem incredibly overworked as it was incredibly hard to get someone's attention, but it wasn't like they were standing about behind the counter twiddling their thumbs. They were constantly running back and forth trying to service all the tables. We stopped here during the beginning of the day to grab a coffee, and I'm sure glad we found this place. It was incredibly hot inside (no AC, of course) and so I opted for an "iced coffee". It ended up being sort of a chocolate/mocha concoction with a scoop of ice cream in it and whipped cream on top. It was absolutely delicious and I could start to feel the caffeine kicking in within the first few sips, so I could tell it was incredibly concentrated. The second time we came here we opted to sit outside since it was so hot, but again, received only mediocre service. Luckily the menu is pretty straightforward and so all you really needed the waiters for were ordering and paying. The menu also has an English section (thank God!). I'd keep coming back here just for the iced coffee, especially I got the impression in Austria that iced coffee wasn't really a common thing :).

    Anytime I get something for free from the owner its an immediate five stars! Us yelpers popped in for a night cap following a yelp elite event and immediately sparked the interest of the wait staff and the owner (I think she was the owner, corrections if not) who came over and asked us who we were and what we were doing. In a very friendly manner I have to say! A couple of minutes later we (all 10 of us) were brought a warming drink compliments of "the chefin." I don't know what it was called but 'yummy' would be my guess. Warm cherry liquor topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. WOW! As one of the yelpers said this would be fantastic on the slopes as a warming agent and it certainly did its job! The locale itself is everything a coffee house in Vienna should be. Inside things haven't changed decor wise since the mid 50s, the waiters all wear 3 piece suits slightly too big for them, there is a slightly cerebral vibe going on and two hipsters in the corner whispering to themselves bedecked in fashionable button down shirts and bulky scarves. Excellent! Just the place to drop in and spend an hour or two with coffee and cakes. Downstairs there is a cabaret room for rent and the biggest surprise (for me anyway) the toilets. Seemingly dropped right out of the Starship Enterprise, the juxtaposition here is wonderful. All curvy white plastic walls with red floors it has absolutely nothing to do with the cafe it serves. Just lovely! Nice and friendly and Im hoping the coffee is great too as this could become my "local" coffee house!

    My favourite café ever. As soon as you step in you can't help but notice the elegant waiters, the old fashioned furniture and the dozens of cigarettes being lit every second. Come here for a coffee, dessert or to grab a bite, you won't be disappointed!

    Traditional Viener Schnitzel. Would recommend 10/10

    Just stopped in for coffee and strudel. The apple strudel was the best we had #1 out of 4. Nice place for a snack.

    Server was rude and did not get us a table until we just sat down. Food was bad, don't waste your time.

    Good service, good beer, great outside seating. However their apple strudel is horrendous! Would not recommend for dessert.

    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.
