In the Quiet
of the Early Morning
Café Frauenhuber
Himmelpfortgassee
Magazines and Newspapers
Neatly stacked, waiting
for the first morning patrons
Choice seating
still available
The left window seat
is already taken
Look,
another corner table,
how about sitting here?
Would you rather
chose this cozy corner?
Under this table lamp,
you say?
The first Melange,
followed by another cup?

Café Frauenhuber looks a nice place!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be there...
If I can't have a quiet morning I will at least have the quiet beauty of your photographs. (A little something to give 'Thanks' for.)

I've spent many,many happy hours in this cafe and the table behind the lamp in photo #7 is my usual table!
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving me a moment of rest in this hectic day.
Delightful!
ReplyDeleteThe coffee houses in Vienna you show us are always so delightfully, tastefully civilised, not at all like the fast grab a coffee joints in the New World.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had places like that here! If we do, I've never seen one! Someday ...
ReplyDeleteI'll go coffee drinking with you any time, Merisi!
ReplyDeletetime stands still there...
ReplyDeleteThis is SO civilized!
ReplyDeleteAnd serene...
I'm sure I would knock the spoon off the glass
And the glass would break on the floor
And the water would spill on someone's newspaper
And a mouse would run out of the kitchen like it did in Hong Kong...
Wait where am I?
