2018:
It
took
30
minutes
to
get
someone
to
take
our
order.
I
asked
for
extra
whipped
cream
on
my
coffee,
but
it
came
identical
with
the
one
my
friend
had
ordered.
I
insisted
and
got
more
-
however,
it
was
neither
a
lot
nor
was
it
a
solid
heap
but
rather
a
flimsy
foam.
The
place
itself
is
pleasant,
sticking
to
Viennese
coffeehouse
tradition,
and
the
pastry
-
despite
the
rather
limited
selection
-
was
fine.
Update
2021:
Really
rich
breakfast
selection;
I
appreciated
the
difference
between
the
vegetarian
and
vegan
options
-
each
one
unique
and
tempting!
What
can
be
said
about
a
traditional
Viennese
Café
that
hasn't
been
said,
yet?
The
white
noise
of
chatting,
eating,
relaxing,
working,
flirting
people
in
their
cozy
booths;
the
extra
high
ceilings
and
walls
covered
in
somewhat
cheesy
art-déco
paintings
(but
one
is
in
a
forgiving
mood
once
the
coffee
has
been
served)...
The
staff,
friendly
and
squeaky
clean
-
and
somewhat
embarrassed
because
my
first
two
orders
(Chai
Lattes)
weren't
available.
So
a
cafe
latte
had
to
do,
and
it
did
a
fine
job.
Impressive:
the
selection
of
teas
available,
each
with
a
description
a
high-end
wine
could
be
proud
of.
The
Covid
measures
are
being
followed
-
friendly,
but
uncompromisingly.
Good
for
you!
A
bit
annoying:
for
tracking
purposes,
this
place
hasn't
discovered
the
benefits
of
an
app,
yet
-
the
guests
are
handed
an
A4
form
to
fill
in
their
data.
The
wide
range
of
painstaikingly
arranged
newspapers
is
impressive
-
most
German,
some
Swiss,
all
Austrian
papers
are
present
and
waiting
for
the
avid
reader
with
tons
of
free
time.
My
vegetarian
breakfast
had
a
big,
ripe
half
avocado
with
a
soft
boiled
(and
peeled)
egg
where
the
pit
used
to
be.
Lovely
presentation!
I
did
wonder
how
I
would
eat
it
without
making
a
horrible
mess
(a
spoon
hasn't
been
provided),
but
since
the
soft
boiled
egg
was
perfect,
I
was
able
to
eat
the
white
off
from
around
the
patiently
waiting
yolk.
The
toast
was
toasted,
but
unfortunately
cold
and
hard/chewy.
Too
bad;
the
lovely
butter
with
chives
could
make
up
for
it
only
partly.
My
companion
ordered
a
Ritter
Frühstück
which
came
on
a
cute
three-tiers-stand.
These
people
know
how
to
make
soft
boilded
eggs,
indeed!
Since
my
sweet
tooth
was
still
achy,
despite
the
lovely
apricot
jam
that
came
with
the
Ritter
Frühstück
(which
also
included
an
excellent
orange
juice),
I
ordered
a
Birnenkuchen.
The
Mürbteig
was,
indeed,
very
mürb,
the
filling
nice
and
providing
the
necessary
counterweight
of
moist
sweetness.
The
cooler,
however,
where
the
pastry
is
being
stored
and
presented,
is
doing
too
good
a
job:
my
cake
was
so
cold
that
parts
of
it
had
an
almost
frozen
mouthfeel.
I
could
have
stayed
much
longer
than
my
time
allowed...
this
place
makes
me
sigh
with
relief
and
find
calm
in
challenging
times.
