Die Cafetière, 1010 Vienna, 96 points
The coffee culture of the past lives on in the rooms of the former Naber branch. The Cafetière has found a home here where she shines. Perfect coffee specialties, accompanied by outstanding toasts such as the popular Karl Heinz Toast.
Joseph Brot, 1030 Vienna, 96 points
Joseph has sparked the hype about good bread, but the coffee is in no way inferior to the baked goods. The queue is usually long because the baked goods are in great demand (often still warm pastries).
K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäckerei Demel, 1010 Vienna, 94 points
The history of the Hofzuckerbäckerei Demel began in 1786. Once reserved for a select few, it is now a world-renowned institution for coffee and pastries. The café offers both pleasure and a visit to the museum, and the displays are irresistible.
Hildebrandt Café, 1080 Vienna, 94 points
A hidden gem in Leopoldstadt, but no longer an insider tip. The artistically designed plates literally invite you to pull out your cell phone camera and capture these moments of pleasure.
Coffee Pirates, 1090 Vienna, 95 points
The Pirates are synonymous with first-class quality and attach particular importance to organically grown and aromatically unique specialty coffee. Whether at the bar or in the roastery, true professionals work here with a taste for pleasure and a gastronomic spirit.
Die Meierei im Stadtpark - Restaurant Steirereck, 1030 Vienna, 97 points
The Steirereck stands for pure excellence. The Meierei in the Stadtpark perfectly rounds off the overall experience of this high-end Viennese destination, and the exclusive, luxurious breakfast in the Meierei is equally impressive.
Parémi, 1010 Vienna, 96 points
Viennoiserie at the highest level! There are two names behind the Parémi bakery: Patricia and RÉMI. Both learned their boulangerie-pâtisserie trade in France and are now practicing it to perfection in Vienna. Freshly baked every day: Bread, pastries and confectionery of all kinds.
