Absolutely delicious! We had the vegan breakfast and the breakfast with ham. Both were delicious and filling. The oat milk lattes were very good as well. We enjoyed dining here and the service was very friendly.

Such a cool concept! The staff were the nicest, sweetest grandmas and the food was so good! Prices were super good too. Keep in mind the lunch menu is different each day, typically vegetarian, but great prices!
For afternoon snack today we had a sachsertorte and an apple strudel. Both were delicious. The sachsertorte is velvety smooth chocolate madness with whipped cream and a bit of apricot and raspberry jam. The apple strudel is a classic fruity standard baked to perfection. We chased it down with cappuccinos. Vollpension provides retirees with employment and social interaction. It also put to work their superior baking skills and incorporates their family recipes. Honestly, i think their deserts are superior to much of the commercial cafes around the city. Their prices are certainly better. Plus you get to support a great program so it's a sweet win-win all around. If you are looking for a non touristy cafe for a relaxing and yummy treat then try Vollpension. Highly recommend. read more
My friend and I had breakfast at Vollpension (one of their two locations in Vienna) when we were visiting the city a couple of weeks ago. German for "full pension," Vollpension hires seniors to allow them to make extra money in their retirement/on top of their pension. Their website calls the restaurant "where old and young get together to eat cake." In that vein, the restaurant is filled with what I'd call Grandma chic: floral patterned chairs, mismatched chairs, mismatched plates, etc. Many of the dishes on the menu are named after Grandmas and Grandpas (who I assumed work or have worked at the restaurant). My friend had Mr. Karli's Cheese Masterpieces (cheese sandwich with Montafon cheese and a soft-boiled organic egg), and I had Grandpa Kurti's Good Cheese Wagon (2 spreads, Montafon cheese, mountain cheese, breakfast cheese triangles, seasonal vegetables, butter, jam, a roll, a slice of rye bread, and brioche). My friend also had a slice of cake (you walk down to the kitchen, take a look at what they have that day, and let them know which you want a slice of). We also had a couple of cappuccinos and orange juice with soda. The food was simple and delicious. The service and ambiance made it special. It really felt like we were at someone's home, and that made it a special meal on our trip. I'd happily return. read more

The food here is delicious. The service from the younger staff was good and the grannies were quite the characters. I would recommend a reservation and a high tolerance for carbs If you plan to go. Order your cake at the table with the food order as it will be less than ordering it at the cake counter read more

This is a funky--and wonderful--place for breakfast. The concept is that the cafe provides employment for pensioners after retirement. The decor is homey and eclectic; diners sit on ordinary chairs, but also on upholstered loveseats and club chairs. The food is outstanding. I'm vegan, and it can be hard to find balanced, healthy meals in meat-heavy Vienna. This place has numerous delicious options. Service is friendly and attentive. Our waiter even brought us a few bites of cake we hadn't ordered, just because. We have a few more days in Vienna, and we'll likely be back. read more

Immediately approached by the kindest elderly gentleman I have ever met. He gave us the low down on the menu, which admitingly went right over our heads. Regardless we ordered miscelaneous small breakfast options that came with unlimited coffee and iced tea--which I will say is quite dangerous and should be cautioned for those with general anxiety disorders. We left with enough energy to run a marathon and our hearts full of familiar love. Oma and opa vibes for sure- please give it a visit if you are in the area, and give that old man a gentle hug. read more

Food had a good taste, but. I ordered lentil stew, which one would imagine would be enough for lunch. I mean, when is a lentil stew (for 7,9 euros) not enough??) well, it was literally a children's portion. I asked the waiter and the cook if that was the usual portion and both of them said yes. I don't know, but for any adult this is really small. I was also upset of the way they answered me, as if I had no idea what a lentil stew usually looks like. This place is inside of a university, but I can't imagine a student eating only this for lunch. Really not worth it. read more

Unsere Omas und Opas backen täglich frische Mehlspeisen nach Familienrezepten — Buchteln, Apfelstrudel, Kuchen — direkt in der offenen Backstube. Jeder Besuch unterstützt echte Arbeitsplätze für Senior:innen und trägt gegen Einsamkeit und Isolation im Alter bei. Zwei Standorte in Wien: Johannesgasse 4A im 1. Bezirk (barrierefrei, Mo–So 08–18 Uhr) und Schleifmühlgasse 16 im 4. Bezirk (Schanigarten, Hunde willkommen, Mo–So 08–20 Uhr). Frühstück täglich, vegetarisches Mittagsmenü Mo–Fr. Reservierung empfohlen. Vollpension ist keine Charity — sondern eine Neuinterpretation des Wiener Kaffeehauses.
