Cafe Coffee shop

👍👍 The inside is small but with a relaxed and spacious vibe. The service is friendly and quick and you could feel comfortable to chill here with the paper or a book because the vibe was not hectic at the time I visited. The coffees are great with espressos or milk coffees being equally enjoyable. People often mention coffee, cupcakes, good, great, small, nice, delicious, staff, friendly, Vienna,

    Went there with a friend for coffee. Super nice staff and simple but pretty interior. Sadly it's quite small so there's not much space for a lot of people, also the toilet is next door. However, we really enjoyed our coffee and the (vegan) cupcakes are AMAZING!

    A very cute little cafe with extremely delicious cupcakes and coffee. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and the cupcakes are the most delicious I have ever eaten in my life!

    Enjoyed a very delicious pick-me up on a rainy/snowy Friday afternoon. As an American expat, I am often disappointed by cupcakes and cakes in general here in Austria, but these were absolutely fantastic.

    Unfriendly staff. We had this rude waiter come to us and warn us we’re expected to stay 40 mins only the moment we asked if they had wifi, great way to invite students and people needing to cowork! The man seemed so unpleased to get customers that we decided to leave. My girlfriend even left a review and they replied publicly twisting what actually happened. There’s so much better and friendlier choice in the neighbourhood, don’t even bother to go there.

    A rather small Cafe, locatedoff the beaten tourist track. Not a huge amount of seating or table space, but comfortable enough, a mix of chairs, stools, and boxes. I must say that the coffee was superb and well worth the money. Friendly service, cash, or card accepted.

    It’s a hipster type of coffee shop if you’re a foreigner and want something familiar, can’t go wrong

    Here cupcakes are just amazing! Really really top quality, vegan version is also so great, coffee is also high quality,,, highly recommend

    Very kind staff and pleasant place. Avocado toast was simple but good. However, filter coffee - not the best. And toilet is outside 😳

  • 5/5 Ipek Y. 7 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Latte with oat milk and Blondie was delicious. The cupcakes were looking good also. Definitely wanna go again.

  • 5/5 Ngoc My Linh P. 1 year ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Really good cupcake here. The cake is not too sweet but soft and the cream is like melting in your mouth. The price is quite expensive in my opinion, 4.2e/cake. The place is small but still have a place for two people to dine in and look out the street.

  • 4/5 Ronja B. 9 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Cupcakes (though very expensive) and food are amazing. Staff was friendly and brings food a lot quicker than before at least (we waited 30-45 minutes numerous times in the past). Only minus is the Soda Zitron which is made with concentrate and made way too strong, couldnt finish it. But they bring fresh water to the table upon your arrival, which is fantastic service considering the temparatures. Atmosphere was comfy and nice as usual. Will be Back. As Always.

    The Tiramisu Cupcake was expensive, but so good. Very rich and packed with flavour.

  • 5/5 Alex 1 year ago on Google
    To say I’m a fan of this place would be an understatement. The cupcakes are the best I’ve ever had. Worth making the trip from wherever you are in Vienna! The coffee is faultless too. Small but lovely environment. Staff are great. Love it

  • 5/5 Szabolcs G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The best cappuccino I've had in Vienna so far, very creamy and with no additives like sugar heavenly round and balanced in the taste, almost like a coffee dessert without being sweet- I usually drink my coffee with at least one portion of sweetener. If that's not enough reason to visit, the best cupcakes in the city are sold here. Juicy dough, a lot of cream (mostly based on cottage cheese, judging by the taste) and in always changing, partly classic, sometimes unusual variations. The place is a bit small, so not necessarily suitable for groups. Otherwise, but great! (Original) Der beste Cappuccino den ich in Wien bisher hatte, sehr cremig und ohne Zusätze wie Zucker himmlisch rund und ausbalanciert im Geschmack, fast wie ein Kaffeedessert ohne süß zu sein- dabei trinke ich meinen Kaffee sonst immer mit mindestens einer Portion Süßstoff. Wenn das noch nicht Grund genug für einen Besuch wäre, werden hier die besten Cupcakes der Stadt verkauft. Saftiger Teig, sehr viel Creme (Zumeist auf Topfenbasis, dem Geschmack nach zu urteilen) und das in immer wechselnden, teils klassischen, teils ausgefallenen Variationen. Das Lokal ist jedoch etwas klein, daher nicht unbedingt für Gruppen geeignet. Sonst aber top!

  • 5/5 Ricardo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really really nice place! The cupcakes are the best I've had. I'm not fond of peanut butter, but the peanut butter cake here is a gamechanger. The coffee is not different, great espresso, great latte and awesome coffee art!

  • 5/5 María M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is tiny, with a common central table and another by the window for two people. Delicious coffee and croissant :) average price. (Original) El local es pequeñito, con una mesa central común y otra junto a la ventana para dos personas. Café y croissant deliciosos :) precio medio.

    One of my favourite spots in Vienna. I'm on a mission to try every single cupcake flavour. The staff are super nice too!

  • 5/5 Ally J. 1 year ago on Google
    We sat in the window and loved our coffee, delicious! The Vegan banana bread was yummy too a really friendly vibe ..enjoy this little treasure !

  • 5/5 Ohan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Simple, low key, easy vibe. Great place to read for an hour with your coffee or have a chat with a friend. It's small, not a good idea to work out of, but great to hang out in for a little. Great coffee and, most importantly, they have freddo espresso!

  • 5/5 Anton 1 year ago on Google
    Best cupcakes in Vienna, and by a long shot. Good coffee as well. The owner can be a little eccentric, but he's a nice guy. Note that laptop time is restricted to increase turnover, as there is very limited seating.

  • 5/5 nicole k. 1 year ago on Google
    Small cute place. Owner and staff are super nice and friendly. Good for quick coffee and cupcake since there aren't allot of places to sit. Cupcakes are sooo good

  • 5/5 Anna H. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend, the cupcakes are so DELICIOUS!! Excited to try more flavours 😋

  • 5/5 Thomas G. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious avocado on toast for breakfast! Super friendly customer service. A top spot for coffee and brunch in Vienna.

  • 3/5 Oksana B. 6 months ago on Google
    Sorry guys, but coffee was not the best. Too dark, flavorless coffee, with a big not dense milk foam like any non professional cafe. The muffins were ok, but cost like a great muffin. We drove all the way across town for "good coffee," I'm disappointed.

  • 5/5 El D. 4 years ago on Google

    Quite nice - no complaints about the beer, service was nice, polite personnel - unless it changes, I would recommend it

  • 5/5 Rebecca 3 years ago on Google
    This spot serves up a mean cup of coffee a la carte thanks to its great baristas on staff. It’s a small and modern space that also offers great food.

  • 5/5 Mischa L. 3 years ago on Google
    The rich and strong flat white prepared by the very friendly barista lady gave me the boost I needed for the rest of the day. Moment of bliss, danke!!

  • 5/5 alexander s. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good and great quality coffee, cool Team and best Cupcakes in Vienna!

  • 3/5 Adam S. 4 years ago on Google
    Way to noisy for my taste. Good coffee and nice staff though.

  • 3/5 MaryTiny 4 years ago on Google
    There is no toilet !! Not broken or under construction, just no toilet, which means it s not ideal for a long stay, which is very pity because it' s actually very cosy, yet small. For taking away it's ideal. Tasty coffee. The cold version of coffee (freddo espresso or freddo cappuccino) coming from the Greek culture worth tasting if you never did ! Cup cakes very expensive for their size.

  • 4/5 벨다BellDa 4 years ago on Google
    Coffee is good But no have toilet ?

  • 4/5 P B. 4 years ago on Google
    small and cozy coffeeshop that also serves some well sought-after cupcakes and pastries. The location is small but comfortable and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The espresso and flat white here is one of the better ones to be found in the area. The Wi-Fi is decent and toilets are small but clean. Enjoyed the visit here and the conversation with the barista about coffee and how they maintain such high quality. Will definitely visit again in the future.

  • 5/5 Maria M. 4 years ago on Google
    lovely, cosy place with a variety of breakfast foods and drinks. Perfect for a coffee date with your friend or studying! Make sure you bring cash

  • 4/5 Tamara B. 5 years ago on Google
    A nice little coffee place with awesome cupcakes. I would recommend you to try the lemon cupcake - it was the best cupcake I ever had. The coffee is okay, but you can find a better one in vienna - still worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Kirsten S. 5 years ago on Google
    Small place, but welcoming. Delicious cupcakes and strong coffee. Vegan fare available, although we didn't sample it. English-speaking and WiFi-having.

  • 4/5 Panagiotis S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee and breakfast! But the cupcakes are just insane! Even if you are not hungry, you should definitely try one

  • 4/5 zhanna k. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A delicious filter of coffee, but the taste of a slice of buttered avocado bread with something sour and absolutely tasteless tomatoes does not cost eight euros and twenty cents. The place itself is well organized, but requires a general upgrade. Furniture creaks and staggers. And the general feeling is a little not clean place (Original) Очень вкусный фильтр кофе, но вкус куска хлеба намазаного авокадо с чем то кислым и абсолютно безвкусными помидорами не стоит восемь евро и двадцать центов. Само место хорошо организовано, но требует генерального апгрейда. Мебель скрипит и шатается. И общее ощущение немного не чистого места

  • 5/5 Christine P. 4 years ago on Google
    I came here several times while I was living in Vienna. I loved the ambience, the staff and I loved the cupcakes especially the fruity ones with passion fruit and lime. The brownie is a dream come true. And they really understand themself in brewing perfect coffee. One of the best I had in Vienna so far.

  • 5/5 rocmike 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) probably one of the best coffees I've ever had in Vienna !! (Original) wahrscheinlich einer der besten kaffees die ich in wien je getrunken habe!!

  • 2/5 Alex 4 years ago on Google
    Hey there! The place was recommended to me by a friend so I checked it out today in the early afternoon. Honestly, considering the whole experience it was shockingly bad, the coffee was just not good at all. I think it was a from a Greek Roastery since the cups had the same name than the coffee bags TAF or so yes from cafetaf.gr . Anyways, so the place itself was very rundown, the staff was not too interested and the menu is on the other wall and it is so big that I didn't notice it in the first place. Regards, Alex

  • 4/5 Tra V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The coffee and cupcakes are great and the value for money really good! A clear disadvantage is the lack of a toilet, as is often the case with smaller restaurants in Vienna. (Original) Der Kaffee und die Cupcakes sind großartig und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wirklich gut! Ein klarer Nachteil ist die - wie häufig in Wien bei kleineren Lokalen - fehlende Toilette.

Well frequented pub. (Original) Sehr guter Kaffee, leider keinen Kuchen probiert. Nächstes Mal sicher. Wollte ein wenig arbeiten, leider hat sich das Internet alle 5 Minuten verabschiedet.

    (Translated by Google) Great place. Super fast, healthy food, phenomenal coffee. Indeed, the coffee tastes amazing. Quiet but small place to have a weekend coffee. But 4/5 stars because there is no toilet (Original) Odlično mjesto. Super brza, zdrava hrana, fenomenalna kava. Zaista, kava je nevjerojatnog okusa. Mirno, ali maleno mjesto za popizi vikend-kavu. Ali 4/5 zvijezdica jer nema wc

    Greeeeat coffee, but also the breakfast is delicious. We had Avocado Toast and thw Waffles. We will definitely come back!

  • 2/5 V M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, always a bad impression - despite the delicious cupcakes - due to the incredibly uninterested employees and bosses (!). You never feel welcome. It's a shame. It was the last time I was there and I prefer to spend my money in nice places (even if it tastes half as good). (Original) Leider immer wieder einen schlechten Eindruck - trotz der leckeren Cupcakes - hinterlassen aufgrund der unglaublich desinteressierten MitarbeiterInnen sowie Chefs(!). Man fühlt sich nie willkommen. Sehr schade. Ich war nun das letzte Mal da und gebe lieber in nett(r)en Lokalen mein Geld aus (auch wenn es halb so gut schmeckt).

    The coffee is very good, the first cupcake I tried here was also good, but the last one I bought yesterday wasn’t fresh and the topping had a weird taste. This isn’t good for such a price
