Child friendly Cafés in Upper Austria
Everyone knows what an espresso macchiato is, at least since Tommy Cash's song. Guests at the Kaffeewerkstatt have of course known for much longer why the espresso with a dollop of milk foam tastes so delicious. Just like the other specialities, by the way.
A cosy meeting place for artists, authors and bon vivants has been lovingly created. According to several baristas, the coffee is among the best in the steel city and the homemade cakes couldn't be bettered by grandma. A feel-good place for everyone.
A few monuments need to be built to the Viennese wine taster and confectioner Johann Zauner. It is thanks to him that Bad Ischl has been synonymous with sweet craftsmanship and excellent patisserie since 1832. What would the imperial city be without Ischl wafers and Zauner stollen?
When you get talking to Roland Mayer about pastries and craftsmanship it can take a while. But every second is worth it. You would love to be his apprentice. Pure passion, exceptional cream slices. A business with heart.
The breakfast menu combines the best of all gastronomic worlds. Classic Austrian with soft egg, ham and cheese or a Mediterranean flavour with prosciutto and tomato mozzarella. The vegan version with hummus and couscous is a delight.
Gmunden's insider tip is prominently located by the Traunbrücke bridge, yet away from the hustle and bustle. A chic ambience with trendy dishes for the soul and excellent coffee that couldn't be better in Italy. The pastries bring back childhood memories.
It's hard to find so much space and such opening hours in Traun to start the day with a delicious breakfast. On warm days, there is space for up to 100 people outside, and it is open 365 days a year anyway. Perfect for organic tea and more.
Award after award: Maître Chocolatier Johannes F. Bachhalm has been honoured several times for his pralines, chocolates and cakes. And rightly so, because his craftsmanship, unique flavour experiences and commitment to young talent deserve nothing less than gold.
It is not just gingerbread that is on offer here. It is true craftsmanship. It goes without saying that the classic gingerbread, the Nockkante or the delicate chocolate-covered lynx paws taste sinfully good. Only ingredients from Austria.
Apricot dumplings, the fluffy dream made from curd cheese dough and butter crumbs, may mean a 20-minute wait, but every minute is worth it. If you want to shorten the wait, order an aromatic espresso, trendsetters go for vanilla ice cream, i.e. affogato.
Good baking requires manual labour. And when master baker Marcus puts his personal fingerprint on every roll, it pleases both fans of craftsmanship and connoisseurs alike. A great traditional business. Very good sourdough bread.
It was a bit of a shock for the people of Gmunden when they found out that the lease for the popular patisserie would not be extended from autumn 2027. It remains to be seen what will happen with the location - at least the excellent cake quality remains guaranteed.
A greissler with fresh pastries in a beautifully furnished restaurant with lots of wood - has a calming effect. Add to that the view of the Bohemian Forest - a feel-good dream. There is also a breakfast menu that fulfils every wish. From classic to trendy to "Laxbröd".
The combination of traditional craftsmanship, classics and modern creations works perfectly in the bakery. There is the right pastry and bread for every preference: poppy seed fritters, salt sticks or savoury brown bread made from sourdough. Good pastries.
The patisserie gets a straight "A" from schoolchildren because they get a free butter croissant in the morning when they order a hot drink. But the "Sturmi" is also the undisputed number 1 among the countless regulars, and the rye sourdough bread is amazing.
You don't have to describe the Traxlmayr, you already know it. But if you don't here are a few key facts. Family business since 1847, old Viennese coffee house, idyllic garden, meeting place for politicians and entrepreneurs, 112(!) newspapers to choose from. Any questions?
Trudge into the great gastronomic world on foot. Nothing could be easier when you're in Vorchdorf. The international menu takes you to kebabs, spaghetti carbonara and XXL burgers. Followed by espresso doppio and baklava. Or maybe ice cream?
Potato crisps were invented in 1853. But more importantly, this is also the year that Urbann Confiserie was founded and has been delighting customers with its wide range of pastries ever since. The cakes, in particular, are a speciality. Tip: Double heart size.
It is THE patisserie in St. Florian and is certainly a highlight alongside the abbey. Here you can relax in the 400 year old town house and enjoy the sweet side of life. Great ice cream. Watch out for the Prosecco cake, it tastes fantastic.
The Stöcker organic bakery is a 100 per cent bakery: there are no compromises when it comes to quality and flavour. This traditional business has been setting new standards and revitalising the concept of sustainability since 1260. Exceptional artisan bread.
