Homemade Pastries Cafés in Graz
Is it the fairy-tale rose garden, the coffee house interior dusted off with subtle hippiness, the fantastic coffee along with pastries, or the lovable owners that make Fotter at the main university so special? All of it, of course!
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!
On the ground floor of the "friendly alien" you can meet for a creative breakfast made from regional produce - especially nice in the garden. At the weekend you can also get “tipsy” with Mimosa and Co. Afterwards they continue with lunch menus and burgers.
The usual excellent in-house coffee is also prepared next to the TU. If you're looking for caffeine-free refreshment, choose a light or dark "monkey milk" and then sip iced cocoa with fresh banana. There are also delicious sweets and bagels!
Once upon a time, the coffee house culture of Graz was modernized here, and the bright coffee shop is still a hotspot for excellent coffee in a casual atmosphere. In addition, there are fine bagels and sweet treats (Pastel de Nata!) along with fresh juices and smoothies.
Amongst the colourful retro furniture mix, the fresh lunch dishes and bowls are vitamin-rich fillers and happiness makers. Afterwards, the desserts provide a lesson in vegan baking - the absence of butter and egg is not even noticeable to those with a passionate sweet tooth.
The time-honoured Graz hotel hides not only a fine restaurant, but also an extremely cosy coffee house: the newspapers rustle in their holders, the scent of fresh coffee wafts through the classic furnishings and the pastries are fresh.
In the best downtown location in Graz, sweet treats "à la française" await you with fine coffee: the colourful macarons in the display case testify to the high art of confectionery, but the wonderful tart creations also deserve attention. Best to taste them all!
The beautiful Art Nouveau coffee house has cleverly retained its charming intellectual aura - people come to read newspapers and philosophize, to attend readings and concerts, to eat and to toast. The audience is correspondingly diverse.
The tiny coffee shop has room for only a few coffee lovers, which makes the outdoor seating area on the pleasant square in the old town all the more pleasant. Carefully selected, in-house roasts are served, and fine bagels and sweets help to stave off hunger.
In the hip yet extremely cosy coffee shop, the baristas do a great job and work only with the best produce. The in-house beans have strength and depth, and the small sweet and savoury snacks are a perfect match.
The international coffee on offer in the small coffee shop near the Mur is impressive, and the preparation methods also testify to the barista expertise. Add a croissant or a muffin, and you've recharged your batteries for a stroll through the city.
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.
The small chocolaterie is a paradise for those with a sweet tooth; the assortment of Belgian confectionery ranges from truffles and confectionery to delicacies made of jelly. In addition to fine coffee, there are also eight varieties of Belgian beer to taste.
In the Schanigarten at Tummelplatz, sunny spots await year in, year out, with gastronomic delights available all day long. On weekends, brunch is served; on weekdays, it may be a quick coffee, oven-fresh tarte flambée or after-work spritzer.
The small café has been supplying Graz's studiosi with vital pick-me-ups for many years - and with really good quality. There is a choice of different single-origin roasts, and they also like to experiment with different brewing methods.
The long-time (and rightly so!), extremely popular cult pub in the Lendviertel has almost every form of gastro pleasure down to perfection: breakfast and lunch hotspot with a quiet courtyard, café, bar and concert venue in the basement. And it's always friendly and relaxed.
The friendly family-run business attaches great importance to environmental awareness, one more sympathy point for the nice café in the immediate vicinity of the main university. Organic produce is used to prepare breakfast and fresh lunches with a vegan-vegetarian focus.
Modern on the outside, cosy on the inside - that's how this small restaurant presents itself, where everything is obviously made with a lot of love; the small selection of homemade desserts as well as the sandwiches. Add an Italian espresso, and the name says it all.
For many years a fixed star of the Graz gastro scene, Café Mitte is a pleasant (weekend) breakfast location, relaxed bar, centrally located place to go for Thai food and cosy café all in one - and very good at all of it, too.
