Wow, Brass Monkey serves by far (and to this day) the best cupcakes in Vienna. They are soft, moist…read moreand so delicious. Reminds me of the kind of cupcakes I buy in the USA, so that's a big deal for me. I got their Milka chocolate one, with a chocolate cream inside with a piece of Milka chocolate on top. My husband got their raspberry cheesecake one which was fantastic.
The prices of the cupcakes range between 3.50-3.85 Euro depending on the specials, but they are worth it if you want a good quality treat.
Their coffee is also outstanding and comes from South America and Africa. The coffee is smooth, fair trade and good quality, different than the Viennese coffee which I find to be too bitter.
Brass Monkey is definitely a spot I will come back when I want good coffee. Keep in mind it is pricey (between 3-5 euros) but that's what you expect for this kind of coffee.
They have a small table by the window for two people, and a long table for a group of people to sit at. Don't be shy sharing the large table with strangers -- I think the point of Brass Monkey is to be cozy and community-like.
Love this place! Highly recommend coming here for ''kaffee und kuchen'' -- coffee and (cup)cake.
