Homemade Pastries Cafés in Upper Austria
It's getting crowded on the slate! Because the specialties around the house roasts (the mega strong "10/90" for example) are many. In addition, there is the breakfast with the best regional ingredients, which is celebrated. Cakes of the day and milkshakes add to the pleasure.
Zaunerstollen, Ischler Torte, Kaisergugelhupf. You don't just go to Zauner to enjoy pastries. You enter the premises and feel the passionate confectioner's craft with all your senses. Since 1832 the sweet monument of Bad Ischl.
The lovingly designed pallet furniture and the plant troughs give the place a feel-good atmosphere. The fact that it also serves one of the best espressos in town as well as filter coffee is the icing on the cake. Speaking of cream: the pastries taste like grandma's.
Tom Weber is a whirlwind in the restaurant business. What he tackles, he shapes into success. Like the Fiaker, which has been a meeting place for foodies for years. The wonderful breakfast menu alone, with shakshuka, eggs benedict or crispy waffles, plays a big role.
Trendy, hip establishment in the heart of the old town, popular with free spirits, artists and students alike. Hedonists particularly enjoy sitting outside, watching the hustle and bustle of the old town and sinking into pastry bliss.
Gmunden's oldest pastry shop is an eye-catcher simply because of its historic facade and charming interior. However, you won't be happy just looking at it; you have to order a Kardinalschnitte (Cardinal slice) and savour it reverently.
The fact that Wiener Straße is regularly stormed by breakfast enthusiasts is due to Café Bohne. A large selection of coffee specialties, creative and unique breakfast variations, and Brandl pastries attract Linzers. Reservations are recommended.
It is not known how much butter is used daily, but it is known that puff pastry and French pastries are made with heartfelt dedication. Formidable also the sourdough breads. Or the hand-rolled croissants. Or ...
Well, boom. In the past, cannon barrels were produced in the hall, today it's the pastries and breakfast selection that provide taste explosions on the palate. Groups of three like to order the "Mehrsamkeit breakfast". More is not possible.
Bernd Himmetsberger doesn't give up until he has found the perfect coffee blend. He is equally uncompromising when it comes to the provenance of the food in the café. He knows many farmers personally and grows his own wine. All-time favourite: Breakfast No. 3.
Bentwood chairs, vaulted ceilings and cosy seating areas. The Rahofer family has been demonstrating taste for decades and knows how to create a good mood. This applies to the restaurant as well as the coffee house, which offers homemade pastries, good coffee and a large selection of newspapers.
When people talk about confectioners in Austria, the name Johannes F. Bachhalm regularly comes up. No wonder, the maître chocolatier is one of the best, and his sweet creations are also in demand internationally. Melt-in-the-mouth apricot dumpling pralines.
When the scent of coffee wafts over Südbahnhofmarkt and a line of people stands in front of the bunkhouse at Marktplatz, Kurt Traxl is probably preparing one of his popular coffees. Traxl's delicious blends, expertise and wit are unbeatable.
On January 1 the gourmet journey begins in Traun - and it doesn't end until December 31. Every day, gourmets can enjoy their organic teas and start with an extensive breakfast. Those in pairs ideally choose the deluxe version with Beef Tartar and Prosecco.
The main street is pulsating again. This is also thanks to the café, which attracts many young, hip people. It's hard to find more coffee variations in Linz. This is just as much in keeping with the spirit of the times as the chic guest garden, with a spray-painted ocelot as a wall motif.
Excellent gingerbread knows no season, especially at Lebzelterei Illecker. With the exception of witches' gingerbread, many specialties are available all year round. And if you want to spoil your palate with other creations, treat yourself to Busserlberg confectionery.
The vaulted interior is just as impressive as the guest garden. There you can simply watch the hustle and bustle and sit back contentedly. A hearty breakfast with ham and eggs or Semmerl (rolls) with homemade jam contribute to the relaxation.
A bakery from the countryside, which one would also like to see in cities. The poppy seed flesserl alone - an Upper Austrian cultural treasure - are of outstanding quality. Add to that courteous staff and the day starts just right. In addition, a lot of organic at breakfast.
Anyone who talks to the Mayer family about cakes can't help but be enchanted. Those who "only" want to send their palate on a journey will find the right means of transport in the pastries. On cloud nine, foam rolls and cream slices await.
If the delicately textured, artisan ice cream didn't taste so delicious on site, you'd love to take the whole ice cream display case home with three flavours plus cups and cones. In fact, you could! The shop rents out display cases.
