Warm Dishes Cafés in Linz
If you want to describe Café Orchidee, Mario Benetseder and the barista team, you have to use the superlative. It is the best thing that can happen to coffee lovers (and olive oil gourmets). Small coffee shop. A must on site: "Espresso Fruttolio" with bergamot.
The restaurant may be a little hidden away, but once you've found it, you'll keep coming back. This is mainly due to the quality, but also to dishes that you won't find anywhere else in Linz: Norwegian Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and rösti, for example.
Wiener Straße is a vibrant street where global life takes place. And right in the centre is the busy and popular café Die Bohne. Reservations are compulsory, good range of coffee specialities such as flat white. Breakfast with Brandl pastries.
Kurt Traxl is known to the people of Linz as the coffee roaster from the Südbahnhofmarkt. With the café near St Mary's Cathedral, he is sure to win a place in the hearts of coffee lovers. A beautiful extension to the largest church in Upper Austria, featuring many coffee specialities, high organic quality, and fair trade.
In recent years, this pretty café near the Musiktheater has become a favourite of young people and bon vivants alike. Very good coffee and casual breakfast options that take guests all over the world - from Italy to Mexico and France.
The university would only be half as much fun if it weren't for the Teichwerk. A feel-good place for students and external students, right by the pond and the park and with an excellent range of food. Nobody can say no to the sweet breakfast, croissant with Nutella. A top candidate.
Linzer Hauptstraße is increasingly developing into a promenade. The Beenie.all day, which boasts a variety of coffee specialities, namely 17, plays a major role in this. Plus trendy pancakes with maple cordial and berries. Great guest garden.
The glockenspiel on the main square rings three times, and every time they visit the café, guests think to themselves: this is the right place, this is where coffee house culture is still lived. In winter, Michael Breitfuß runs the best chestnut hut in Linz on Taubenmarkt.
Long before home roasting became hip Bernd Himmetsberger was already roasting coffee beans from selected small farmers and paying a fair price for them. And he still does this today. The quality is top, as are the breakfast options and the homemade cakes.
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?
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.
Come in and enjoy the best drinks and cult burgers in the evening. For all early risers, it's breakfast time from 9 am to 3 pm. Omelette with bacon in the centre of the main square. For a lighter option: Greek yoghurt with honey and nuts.
The café is a fixture in the Urfahr neighbourhood. Young people and pensioners alike meet here. You can either sit in the café and have pastries from Konditorei Preining brought to your table or you can pack Linzer Torte and the like to take home.
