You see the big slices of different cheesecakes and other cakes, and your first impression is that, oh... these things are too rich, I will never finish it! Maybe, maybe not... but the thing about it is, I noticed that the cheesecakes in Vienna are not as rich or sweet as the ones made in North America, so actually, that's a good thing. Don't get me wrong... the giant slice of cheesecake served there will definitely fill you up, and you will also need at least one or two cups of coffee or espresso (I prefer the "verlaengerter" / "Americano", which is basically a black coffee with added hot water to stretch it out and dilute it a bit.). Yes, that's just to wash the cheesecake down with. Give it a try; you will definitely not be disappointed!

LOCATION: The cafe is in the Franziskanerplatz in the inner city, a perfect stop for those exploring Vienna. EXPERIENCE: I entered this cafe for a supper one late afternoon. As the name suggests, the cafe is small, making for a cozy feeling. I enjoyed a sliced ham sandwich (Schinkenbrot) which brought to mind how outside the U.S. even something as mundane as an open-faced sandwich is prepared and presented to make the best of the ingredients. A layer of ground horseradish was spread on the long slice of bread, and the attractively folded layers of ham were topped with freshly grated cheese. SERVICE: I experienced swift and efficient service during my visit. TIPS: The cafe only accepts cash.

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 spent about a bit more than an hour there and that was the most relaxing, appreciating and beautiful moment among this Europe trip.
