About Wien

Vienna's coffee culture is UNESCO-listed as an intangible cultural heritage. The Viennese coffee house (Kaffeehaus) tradition dates to the late 17th century, established (per local legend) when retreating Ottoman forces left bags of coffee beans outside the city walls in 1683. The institution that grew from that beginning is one of Europe's most distinctive: rooms with marble tables, Thonet chairs, newspapers on wooden racks, a waiter (Herr Ober) in formal dress, a long sit over a single coffee and a slice of cake or a piece of strudel.

The institution survived two world wars, decades of decline, and the late-20th-century coffee mediocrity that affected much of Europe. Today's Viennese coffee houses (Café Central, Café Sacher, Café Hawelka, Café Sperl, Café Landtmann, Café Demel) operate as both daily local cafes and international destinations. They are not relics; they are working institutions.

The third-wave specialty wave arrived in Vienna in the 2010s and is concentrated in the 7th district (Neubau) and parts of the 4th (Wieden) and 2nd (Leopoldstadt). Kaffemik, Balthasar Kaffee Bar, POC, and Süssmund anchor the modern scene.
