 At Cafe Central gazing in
awe at my Dobostorte by Ekaterinburg
My favourite dish here is without doubt the exquisite gastronomical experience also known as the Dobostorte. About five thin layers of biscuit sponge and caramel/chocolate frosting with a carmelised toffee-type glaze on top. Further words fail me - come to Vienna and try it for yourself !

Cafe Central is an institution in Vienna. It's been there since 1860, at changing locations though. It used to be a meeting point for the literary scene of Vienna, the list of famous people who drank their coffee here include names like Kafka, Stalin, Trotzki, Kokoschka and Hitler. After world war II Cafe Central was gone. It came back only in 1975 at its current location in Palais Ferstel. It's popular with tourists and locals ever since.
I really enjoyed the paintings of Sissi and Franzl at the wall, the grumpy charme of the waiters, the typical atmosphere and the cakes here. I had Marillen-Palatschinken (apricot pancakes). They were nice but a bit sweet maybe (OK OK now, what did I expect? ;) Leave a Comment

This cafe was wonderful. We happened upon it by accident, but we were glad we did! The place is beyond gorgeous, with large cathedral-like cealings and comfortable chairs and couches. The atmosphere was perfect.
The coffee and pastries were excellent.
The applestruedel was wonderful. Everything you heard about Viennese pastries is true...we couldn't get enough! Leave a Comment

you will find this Cafe & restaurant in the Palais Ferstl - and it is a typical Kaffeehaus with a very long tradition :
All sorts of Coffee and some cakes, and the coffee is of course served with a small glass of fresh water
.
and they also serve small dishes for lunch and dinner - but on the small tables of a Kaffeehaus eating dinner is not always a pleasure...
.
and the very best is the "Ambiente" in the great architecture of Palais Ferstl
I normally take a "Grosser Brauner" - a strong coffee with a bit of milk. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalAddress: A-1010 Wien / herrengasseDirections: Cafe Central is in Herrengasse. Walk from Hofburg to the Ringstrasse and you will pass by Palais ferstl & Cafe Central on the left !

 Cafe Central, Vienna by antistar
The food is excellent, the ambiance perfect, and the prices are not unaffordable, although on the expensive side even for Vienna. The place gets very busy around lunchtime, so get their early or call to book a seat. I ended up sharing my table with some young travellers who were hovering about waiting for a table to clear, and I felt guilty hogging one all to myself.
Even if you haven't got a lot of cash, you can at least afford a coffee, and maybe one of their excellent pancakes.

I just had coffee here which was very nice. I like the way the Austrians drink their coffee with cream instead of milk Leave a Comment Theme: CoffeehouseComparison: about average

This cafe - restaurant is one of the first cafes in Vienna and it's very close to Hofburg palace. On the wall there are portraits of Emperor Franz-Joseph and Princess Sisi! The whole place is very imperial!
The food is delicious and also the desserts. We ate traditional schnitzel with fried vegetales and potatos salad. It also offers a great variety of beers and wines. It's an expensive place, though and you have to know that if you want to eat there you will pay about 20euros per person.
However, it's a must go place even if you don't want to go there for lunch you could go and try the coffees and the dessrts! It worths!

 Cafe Central by Jp799
Although the interior is beautiful and the coffeehouse is full of history, I didn't particularly fancy Cafe Central. It has become more of a tourist attraction than a real coffehouse and the prices and atmosphere reflect this. If you really want a good coffeehouse to hang out in, go to the Hawelka or Westend.
