Enjoyed our first visit so much, we snuck in another visit before trip end…read more A local guide gave us the important tip, that while we would see the outdoor are in front packed because everyone wants to eat there, he doesn't understand why and told us to venture inside and upstairs. 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.

I've seen too many converts (myself included) not to guarantee you'll love it. Each time I go and look at the cakes in the glass cabinet I tell myself I'll try something new this time and I still end up with Guinness Cake. 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.

There was a spread that included with an assortment of an egg, cheese, bread, spreads, meats and fruit. As a typical Viennese breakfast, nothing was lacking! The fruit was seasonably ripe and fresh. The bread...the bread was a great with not too light, not too heavy texture. The cold Chai latte was to die for...so GOOD. I was shaking my head the whole time at how good everything was. It is a bit pricy, but worth the experience.

This place has been hyped for a long time now. It is a small, very cure cafe that fills up very…read morequickly. In general, the prices are pretty steep for the location and Vienna. Everything looks gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful, BUT the taste is not there. It is overall too sweet. The pistacchio dacquoise has benzaldehyde flavoring which I detest. The cream was real pistachio but was pretty heavy and sweet - didn't sit well with me. The Ribisel-Cremeschnitte was good, tart and sweet, but still, the cream too heavy. The vanilla cake was heavy and sweet. I mean heavy regarding double fat cream, the mouthfeel is light but you feel the fat content afterwards. Breakfast was ok - a slice of bread and brioche with jam (a little off tasting) and spread. Breakfast with coffee and pastry was 20€ which in my mind is too expensive for what it is. I wouldn't complain if the taste is as amazing as the looks. I really had high hopes for this place.

I got myself a good sized Austrian-style continental breakfast with rolls, butter and jam, cheese, cold cuts, coffee, orange juice, and a soft-boiled egg. A colleague of mine had the bacon and eggs, which also looked pretty good as well. I saw a bunch of champagne bottles around, which sort of reminds me of a champagne brunch that we have on Sundays at the Ak-Chin Harrah's Casino back in my hometown in Arizona (though of course, not as large or extensive). I like the fact that they open this early; it isn't like you're going to find an IHOP or Denny's in Vienna, so I suppose this is a good substitute if you want a decent breakfast at this hour. In addition to breakfast, they also serve sandwiches, light meals, and typical café pastries and cakes. It's a pretty decent place to go.

Sluka is one of those charming spots, with elegant pastries and cakes beautifully displayed to tempt you. We stopped in for coffee with cream and some sweets after a long walk around the old town.

A good place to take a break and enjoy classic Viennese treats.

The pasta however lacked flavor and needed more salt. For dessert I got their House Tort and my daughter got a strawberry tart. My daughter's tart was probably the best strawberry tart I've ever eaten. The strawberries were perfectly ripe and the vanilla cream inside and the crust all balanced perfectly. My chocolate tort was pretty good but not amazing like my daughter's. The room we sat is was lovely with ornate ceilings and beautiful chandeliers. We didn't have a reservation so we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, and this was at 2:15 in the afternoon. Our server was very attentive. I'd return and get the strawberry tart!
