Coffee, Anyone?
Viennese Mélange
at Café Hawelka



"... the Café Hawelka,
completely downmarket.
I have always detested
the typical Viennese coffeehouse,
famous the world over,
because I find everything
about it inimical to me."
Thomas Bernhard,
"Wittgenstein's Nephew"

Café Hawelka
Dorotheergasse

Still downmarket,
but excellent coffee! ;-)

    I have just lost 13 pounds in twenty days and whenever I view your wonderful delights, I would be in a mess of a heap, if I were there, for everything always looks so very wonderful;)

    Merisi, let me second Carol's enthusiatic comment, and add that I've also loved seeing the summer in Vienna photos from the prior post.

    Gosh, I could go a bit further and say that your posts never strike a wrong note.

    Bravo! xo

    Thank you all! :-)

    Amelia,
    "inimical" - that was typical Thomas Bernhard!
    He, who spent lots of time in coffeehouses, like the Bräunerhof and Sacher. ;-))))

    If this is down market wherefore our local corner caffs?

    Those thick white cups holding the creamy rich coffee [I smell it from here] the silverware and crisp white napkin...no plastic spoons or wafer thin paper here.

    Downmarket or otherwise
    it looks blissful to me.
    The top photo -- almost a still life--
    is delightful.

    Hello Dear Merisi,
    Coffee with you? Always!!! "Downmarket"?? It always looks perfect to me!

    I hope you have been well and are enjoying your beautiful summer there! We are just now starting to get warm weather here in New England!

    Wishing you a beautiful rest of your day!
