One of Vienna's most famous, olde worlde feel coffee shops, which are becoming increasingly hard to find, is Café Hawelka. Tucked off in the Dorotheagasse, next to the Casanova Revue Bar, Hawelka is a legend in the Vienna coffeehouse scene. Leopold Hawelka has run the coffee house for over half a century - he ran it with his late wife, Josephine, up until her death in March 2005. He still makes all the cakes himself and under his late wife's front-of-house she would try and match up a single male customer with a single female customer. The coffee is reasonably priced, the ambience and décor having the decidedly lived-in well loved and well-used feel and it is not as pretentious as any of the other 1st district coffee houses.
An cup of Viennese coffee washed down with one of their cakes hits the spot quite nicely.

 Cafe Hawelka ... closed! by sabsi I was dying to go to Cafe Hawelka. When I thought of Vienna I thought if this place before having been here. Believe me I am still in a state of shock that we visited Vienna while Cafe Hawelka was closed - a week of summer holidays. Everytime we passed by I had a look through the closed windows craving for the famous "Buchteln" and the smoky atmosphere. I guess this is only one of the reasons why I should return to Vienna some day....
Anything. As long as it's open :( Leave a Comment Theme: CoffeehouseAddress: Dorotheergasse 6, 1. BezirkWebsite: www.hawelka.at

 do you smell the cigar smoke? by Dariana I don`t advice anyone to ask ,simply, a cup of coffee. Vienna has many different ways of serving coffee : Kleiner or Grosse Brauner,a Melange, an Einspänner, a Fiakre… In the Bohemian atmosphere of coffee-house Hawelka , the tiny silhouette of Leopold Hawelka is very familiar. Ninety-four years old, the owner still do the honors of the house: receive clients and guide them and when they go he is always there for shaking hands. In his corner, a paper in his hands he is now the main attraction, ready for a picture with importunate tourists .
Try Melange-coffee, invented by Leopold. Sorry ´ missed the hot “Buchteln” served after 10 p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: CoffeehousePrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 6, DorotheergasseDirections: 50 meters from Stephansdom Metro: U1,U3 ,Stephanplatz.

by Gili_S Coffee is important part of my joy in Vienna and as I was wondering around the city on a nice spring day looking for a place to relax with a cup of coffee I didn’t really fancy the crowded coffee places in the main street, luckily I went to a small ally and found this one just by coincidence, very soon I figured out that this is an old classic coffee house in Vienna.

 The café interiour by daaaniel This famous café is known for its bohemian clientele but I didn't see anything like that. The cigarette smoke is thicker than at any other café and the waiters are a bit stiff. But you can't beat the athmosphere!

My friend told me that this was a place--during the cold war days--where spys hung out. I wanted to go there but didn't have time. An artists’ rendezvous steeped in legend, boasting a distinctive atmosphere, The famous Buchtln (brioche squares with filling are served from 10 pm.)

When I am in Vienna the absolutely must is to go to Cafe Havelka left of the Graben in Dorotheregasse. It's a very old lovely Cafe which owners are nearly 90 years old and still you can see them in the restaurant. You feel there like a hundres years ago.
Wiener Schnitzel at the Schnitzelwirt is great and if you go to Rosenberger and have a cup of Kaisermelange you can take the cup home as a souvenir. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Internationally renowned and frequented. by Intrepidduck These two long standing Vienna establishments are without a doubt amoungst the great coffee houses of Europe. The Cafe Sperl has been going for about 100 years now, while Cafe Hawelka is behind by only a couple of decades. Many famous and influential people during the course of the 20th century frequented them both. During the days I had in Vienna, on both shortish visits, I made either of these two vibrant coffee houses a place to visit each morning before starting the day. Mr Hawelka was a delightful person to meet and in my little known German we exchanged an affinity together concerning the world of coffee culture. The atmosphere at Hawelka hints back to those heady days when the coffee houses of Europe were the key focal point in arts, culture and politics. The staff at the Cafe Sperl were also most friendly and I felt as though the cafe had been for some time my local. Along with many other coffee houses in Vienna I was surprised that dogs were most welcome here, if accompanied by their owner of course! This fact indeed added character to the place.
Much of the cake selection is very good at the Cafe Sperl.
