Homemade Ice Cafés in Upper Austria
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.
When guests see the historic building from the outside, they feel transported to a time without worries. In fact, craftsmanship has been practised here since 1878. And the light cardinal slices really do take away a lot of the everyday worries.
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.
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.
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.
It's one of the highlights of the year: when the apricots are ripe, they are wrapped in fluffy pastry, boiled and rolled in butter crumbs. But beware, the time span is very short. 1000 pieces are produced and they are gone within a few days.
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.
Baking is one thing, transparency is another. At Waldi you can watch the bakers baking and realise that all it takes to make good crusty bread is a few ingredients, time and a lot of passion. Quality beats quantity. Waldi is cult.
Crispy puff pastry, vanilla cream and icing sugar. These are the cornerstones of the cream slice, which is considered the sweet flagship of Café Vogl. Pastries made from Danish pastry or shortcrust pastry taste just as brilliant. In summer, be sure to try the creamy ice cream.
It may only be three letters, but it also means the trinity of flavour: ICE. The Weltzer in particular has achieved nationwide fame in this discipline, producing excellent ice cream - and is happy to pass on its knowledge within the industry.
Pleasant ambience in the centre of Traun. People like to meet here for coffee and cake, chat and reflect on the day. Gourmets can be sure of quality. The cakes are from Jindrak, chocolates from the chocolatier Wenschitz.
Yes, I do. If you're not married yet, you like to come here and get a taste. And those who are married would love to do it again. It's all down to the fantastic wedding cakes that you fall in love with again and again. Beautiful, good, unforgettable.
When you say Linzer Torte, you think of the Jindrak patisserie, which sends the sweet landmark all over the world. The various doughnuts are just as delicious, although in tasting sessions it is never clear whether the one with confit or the one with vanilla tastes better.
