Great coffee, delicious cake and friend service. Good place to enjoy coffee and work. Good wifi, some sockets.

H Williams18.02.2025

the coffee is really amazing here but the place is small so it gets full quickly. there is free high speed wifi which is a plus.

M S18.02.2025

Small place with good coffee. Too many people with laptops making it hard to find a seat.

Best coffee shop in Vienna. Every time that I come to Vienna I go here to drink a cup of perfect coffee ;)
Love that working time is until 7pm, it’s a great benefit. Thank you guys!

Mia18.02.2025

Perhaps the best coffee in Vienna. My family have been coming here for some time despite having tried almost every single random cafe in the inner Gürtel. If you come for the coffee, you’re not going to be disappointed. They take it seriously and they don’t mind letting you know.

Bonuses:
You can hang out all the liveliness day and linger with your novel/newspaper/laptop even on their busiest days.

The free wifi. (Although your own mobile connection will be faster!)

The almond croissant.

The various milk alternatives.

In summer time, iced coffees are served with whipped cold cream.

Not so great:
The location on busy, smoggy Praterstraße leaves a lot to be desired for general ambience but it is convenient especially if you happen to be on the U1 line, exit is directly above the Nestroyplatz U-station.

Constanza Toledo18.02.2025

Amazing coffee, sadly always packed!There's wifi, but it didn't work for me for some reason... That aside, highly recommend!

☕️ superb coffee with displayed information about the used beans.
👨🏻 a lot of staff for a small shop. everyone does their part, so an order goes quick and smooth!
🍰 Good assortment, but didnt try anything.
🏕️ calm neighborhood but still connected to a Main Street.
🔊 noisy and echoing, unfortunately. hard to relax in here if anyone is talking or bringing children.

Selbstbedienung, super nette Servicemitarbeiter, ausgezeichneter Kaffee, ansprechendes Interieur, chillige Background Music, wlan (bissl wenig steckdosen fürn laptop, aber okay). Komme sehr gerne wieder 😁

Ofir Nir18.02.2025

Great atmosphere, very nice staff.
Problem is that this place is mostly for coffee, they were out of most of the sandwiches at 08:45.

Very nice to open a laptop, less family friendly.

Matt Randles18.02.2025

Some of the best coffee we’ve had here. Great pastries, too. Not the classic Vienna vibe though; much more modern. Good place to crack open the laptop or do some journaling.

Amelie B18.02.2025

Sorry, but no. Coffee is good, staff literally couldn’t care less though. I didn’t feel welcomed at all. wifi is available but horrific, no chance of getting any work done. And: 4,40€ for a slice of banana bread? I’d rather not. There are far better cafés around.
