Café Hawelka in Vienna
About
Café Hawelka in Vienna offers a quintessential Austrian experience in a classic and cozy setting. This historic café, lovingly operated by the same family for three generations, provides an inviting atmosphere where you can enjoy a diverse menu of Austrian and European delights. The café serves unique dishes like Sachertorte and the exclusive Mélange coffee, among other classic offerings such as cheese and bacon dishes, hearty soups, and an array of pastries. You'll find it a welcoming spot whether you're popping in for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. With moderate prices, it's great for casual meetups or moments of quiet reflection, whether you choose indoor seating or the charming outdoor area on warmer days. Dogs are welcome, adding to the relaxed vibe, and the staff, while mostly praised for their friendliness, occasionally have off moments. Enjoy the benefit of credit card payments, albeit mainly at the bar, as you soak in the less bustling but equally charming ambiance of this iconic Viennese café.
