Homemade Ice Cafés in Styria
One of the most classic and popular coffee houses in the city has been gently modernised in appearance and offer, breakfast and opulent brunch on the cake stand are still good, along with classic pastries, good snacks and even fine cuisine!
The Fitz family has been baking masterfully for five generations. They are famous on the one hand for their elaborate cakes and pastries in miniature format, and on the other hand for their Schaumrollen (cream puff pastry rolls). Light lunches are served at noon.
The Regner family has been baking for four generations, and the cakes, tarts, and cookies are evidence of the confectioner's art. The specialty is the homemade gingerbread, which not only tastes good at Christmas time and goes perfectly with good coffee.
In the stylish and modern café you can experience the expertise of Sabrina and Manuel Mauerhofer without having to walk in the front row. The two master confectioners create sweet works of art from natural ingredients - and also roast the wonderful coffee themselves!
Franz Lex is not only a host with heart and soul, but also a collector of contemporary art, which can be admired here. Add to this a strong cappuccino from Illy and a piece of homemade lemon cake and the afternoon is as it should be.
The Graz branch of the Viennese legend is - draped in lots of red velvet - an oasis for indulging afternoon coffee in the center of the old town. A piece of Sacher cake made to a secret recipe is a must, of course, but breakfast is also extremely popular.
In the beautiful historic Aussee Kurhaus, the ice cream sundaes with frozen treats from fruit to nut from the Graz manufactory create a summer mood. The fresh cakes and classic pastries, on the other hand, are a real treat for those with a sweet tooth all year round.
The extensive menu leaves no stone unturned; you start the day here with a sumptuous selection of breakfast variations accompanied by strong Illy coffee. In summer, the extensive ice cream menu is more than worth a sin. You can also add a splash to your after-work nightcap.
Bread, pastries and desserts are made from the best ingredients - and you can taste it. The creative confectioner's works of art in miniature format are almost too beautiful to eat. The homemade truffles are also worth trying.
Directly on the lake, you could almost forget about the culinary delights over the magnificent view of Loser and Trisselwand - but only almost. Because fluffy fruit cakes like from grandma's bakery accompany the coffee, and also the Salzkammergut cuisine with lots of fresh catch is worthwhile.
Those who make a tour around the Hochschwab will get the necessary energy here in the form of breakfast, pastries and, of course, the wide variety of homemade pies and cakes from the bakery. Coffee also tastes particularly good in the homely setting.
Hornig coffee and an extensive breakfast await you. The restaurant has also long been known and loved for its fine chocolates and homemade pastries - the latter are also available around the clock in the daily freshly filled cake vending machines.
This inclusive company is an exemplary example of how to work and deal with each other in a friendly and approachable manner - you can taste the love for the cause in the breakfast options, the handmade pastries and the homemade ice cream.
On the small balcony, people fight year in and year out for the sunny seats. But also in the cosy interior and out front, coffee and the homemade cakes taste excellent. In winter, the homemade punch is one more reason to stop by.
Almost everything here revolves around delicacies from Italy: espresso and cappuccino from the in-house coffee brand, breakfast variations from "Roma" to "Florence," and antipasti. And even the ice cream comes from Bella Italia! Only the pastries are genuine Austrians.
The Philipp has been an institution for almost a century: In summer, the people of Graz flock in large numbers to the Schanigarten to enjoy the wonderful ice cream sundaes. In winter, people feast on Zwetschkenfleck, Cremeschnitte, etc. Breakfast and snacks are also delicious.
A café-pastry store of old: homemade pastries of the classic-delicious variety go well with coffee, and you can stock up on organic bread and pastries from the stone oven to eat at home as well - all made according to traditional recipes.
In a classic coffeehouse atmosphere, a well-stocked display case is a must - the decision between Schaumrolle (foam roll), Kardinalschnitte (Cardinal slice) etc, is extremely difficult. Especially in summer, when up to 50 homemade ice cream flavours promise enjoyment and cooling down.
