Perhaps it was the holiday and the normal baker was not there, and they defrosted them after freeze drying them, and we came at the end of the day so perhaps they sat out all day; there could not be any other explanation on why both our deserts, while looking appetizing were dry, sad and fairly tasteless. At around 5 Euros a little cake, breaking the diet should be a great pleasure, not a reason to decide never to eat desert again. At least we did not get sick off of them, just not happy and leaving half the desert on the plate. Recommendation: buy a bag of apples at the store, add your own whipped cream and its tastier and cheaper. There was just no joy in the poor little pastries looking up at us from their captivity behind the glass display.

I tried both and they were both delicious. The Wienerschitizel here is solid. and Kaiserscheman pancakes were perfect. We also had boiled beef and beef goulash. For dessert of course strudel. The service was excellent. The white table linen was lovely. You definitely get the Eastern European food mixed in with German and Austrian. For this untrained eye, I couldn't tell it apart from southern German food or Hungarian food. It is just basically Eastern European and German to me. But for an American, this is a good thing. We are hitting the familiar territories here. Unlike some American restaurants, they don't rush you here. You can eat as little as possible and you get served just as much. I would definitely come back here. A very lovely joint by the Palace.

Much has improved since then, but the area right around the Schwendermarkt is still very rough around the edges. I was soaking up this very different Vienese ambiance when I encountered a surprising bright spot. A brand new Schrott bakery! Intrigued, I headed in. It was well-lit and cheery inside. The man behind the counter knew his stuff and could tell us all about the various breads. It's a sunny, forward-thinking business in a section of the city which is rapidly changing.

We were directed to go upstairs and found an open seat in no time at all. Just passing by all the display cases filled with desserts and pastries triggered the cravings. We did a quick menu perusal but really knew that we wanted to try the kaiserschmarrn which was a traditional Austrian dessert made up torn up pancakes, served with a plum compote and dusted with powdered sugar. It was light, had a nice caramelized flavor from browning in the pan and little pops of more sweetness from the raisins. It was so delicious that we came back the next day for more but shortcut the line and got it to go from the takeaway window. Same kaiserschmarrn but around 3 Euros cheaper for a larger serving. After eating we wanted around the restaurant and towards the back you can see just how the cooks juggled making many pans of Kaiserschmarrn at the same time. Yes it's a bit pricey but so tasty to try at least once.

This was a wise decision. The indoor space is beautiful and we were seated promptly both times (mid-day). The first time we both got coffee drinks and shared a piece of apple strudel. Second visit we were hungrier so shared the two tiered "best of" sampler. It included four savory open-faced sandwiches and four desserts. All in small sizes, although still big enough to share with another person. The other reason for the second visit was to peruse their downstairs shop. We wanted to bring some high quality souvenirs home to gift to family/friends and this was the perfect shopping location. We got a few chocolate things, including a little something for us. One thing I noticed is that, in addition to tasty chocolates, the boxes themselves are quite pretty and a gift themselves. They also have some non-food options, including branded aprons and reusable bags.

Okay, exaggeration because I can also tell you the scones are out of this world as is the white chocolate cake. There are also vegan options. Cakes are on rotation so there are always new things to try. Have also had brunch here a few times. LOVE the homemade tomato bread that is served with eggs. Love this place. Staff are amazing (customer service DOES exist in Austria if you go to the right places ;)) and I love the little things like fresh flowers on each table and the teapots and mugs. The outdoor seating is also really nice and spacious with nice fleecy blankets.
