UNI CAFÉ - Alter Ego

Cafe Coffee shop Bistro

👍 Small, cosy and laid back coffee shop near one of the many great churches of Vienna. You can also order some food but the hot chocolate I had was enough to warm me up in the Austrian winter! People often mention friendly, nice, service, good, Nice, delicious, Lokal, staff, Sehr, sehr,

    Very nice waitress, polish speaking and kind. Ask for honey for your tea, they serve it nice. And pirogi... Mmm. Delicious!

    Tasty food, cozy interior. For 7,5 eur we had a very nice lunch including garlic soup and schnitzel with mashed potatos and salad. The lady behind the bar is extremely friendly. We will surely recommend this place to our friends and come back if we are in Vienna again.

    We stopped there unplanned and discovered a cute place! Nice owner, homemade local food, a variety of drinks and a pleasant atmosphere for coffee, a cocktail or just a light meal

    Stumbled across this little bistro/café bar. Very friendly welcome. Was recommended this Wiener schnitzel and it’s so delicious with potatoes and onions. I’m a non drinker so great to have an alcohol free beer. Definitely coming back again 👍

    Totally delicious, and the staff was more than happy to work with me and my non-German speaking friends. Incredibly friendly, helpful, and most importantly…delicious! Cannot recommend enough! P.S: They are cash only. (:

    I've been there to study for 4 hours, the service was really friendly and there is outdoor seating available. The "Rosen-spritzer" was my highlight in combination with the delicious tiramisu served there. I definitely will go there again for studying or having a quick talk with the barkeeper. It is a nice café to bring friends to! :)

    (Translated by Google) Super ambience. Ewa is probably one of the best and most pleasant waitresses I know. The food from her cook or herself is excellent. I was happy to drop by after university. Conclusion: great! Ewa looks at you;) (Original) Super Ambiente. Ewa ist wohl eine der besten und angenehmsten Kellnerinnen, die ich kenne.

  • 5/5 Irina Y. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A cozy little cafe, friendly staff, there is a menu in English. The prices are quite reasonable, for mashed soup, schnitzel with baked potatoes in mushroom sauce, green salad, coffee and a serving of Baileys paid 13.3 euros, which is almost nothing for Vienna. One minus - there is no terminal, payment only in cash (Original) Уютное небольшое кафе, приветливый персонал, есть меню на английском. Цены вполне приемлемые, за суп-пюре, шницель с печеной картошкой под грибным соусом, зеленый салат, кофе и порцию Бейлис заплатила 13,3 евро, что для Вены почти даром. Один минус - нет терминала, оплата только наличными

    (Translated by Google) Good food at an affordable price. Service very nice and helpful (speaking Polish: D). While we were thinking about the choice of soup, the lady brought us a sample so that we could decide! A very plus! (Original) Dobre jedzenie w przystępnej cenie. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna (mówiąca po polsku :D). Kiedy zastanawiałyśmy się nad wyborem zupy, Pani przyniosła nam próbkę żebyśmy mogły zdecydować! Bardzo na plus!

  • 5/5 Joe J. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I feel very well in this small eatery and, having been here for a long time, it is almost like being at home. With good food, good wine and - not to forget - good Assam tea the hours go by and before you know it, it has become later again than planned. You just feel good - especially the busy, friendly boss Ewa contributes a lot to this. Yes, the name of the restaurant is aptly chosen; the alter ego has in a way become my alter ego. (Original) Ich fühle mich sehr wohl in diesem kleiner Lokal und, da ich schon lange hier immer wieder einkehre, ist es fast schon ein Gefühl, als wäre man zu Hause. Bei gutem Essen, gutem Wein und - nicht zu vergessen - gutem Assam-Tee verfliegen die Stunden und ehe man sich versieht, ist es schon wieder später geworden als geplant. Man fühlt sich eben wohl - vor allem die emsige, freundliche Chefin Ewa trägt einen Großteil dazu bei. Ja, der Name des Lokals ist treffend gewählt; das Alter Ego ist in gewisser Weise zu meinem alter ego geworden.
