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.

Still, I had the classic Vienna coffee with a Wiener Apfelstrudel.

No one checked on us and we waited so long for the Check, we had to ask two different people. I expected better service at this type of establishment.

Barke's has amazing spinach-cheese and also tomato-cheese "strudel"-pastry-things, as well as eclairs and chocolate croissants if you want something sweet. Even their simple Kornspitz and semmel rolls are tasty, and I've become a bit of a regular when it comes to their coffee: pretty much every time I pass through Schottentor in the morning, I stop for a large cappuccino (€2). Don't worry if the line is long - the service is quick, and the pastry (no matter which one you choose) is well worth it!

So for less than 10 Euros, I got the Little Breakfast, which was a croissant with jam, butter, along with tea/coffee and orange juice. That's all I really wanted for breakfast that morning. The croissant was pretty large and warm. It's wasn't the greatest croissant but it was with lamination and tasted buttery. The piping hot tea and freshly squeezed orange juice rounded out a nice starter to the day. Service was mostly friendly, though I didn't have to interact much. I was greeted at the front by FOH and the server was friendly enough. The decor here is quite lovely, with that 19th century feel. The display cases of desserts looked inviting. If I was around the area longer, I would've stopped by for a strudel. There are newspapers available for diners to read as they're sipping their coffee. Where do you find that in the States anymore?
