Guglhupf and ein Kleiner Brauner
A Viennese Bundt cake
Tante Jolesch could not have made any better
In my book, Café Jelinek is on the top list
of places not to miss in Vienna.
Charming interior, great coffee,
a small, but fine selection of typical Kaffeehaus pastries,
and, on my visit, the friendliest waitress imaginable
(yes, Merisi is still on her quest to find the ubiquitous
grumpy waiter or waitress. No such luck so far, after
more than seven years of trying hard to find him or her)

I like friendly waitresses. This seems like a fine place for a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very nice place to relax and to enjoy coffee and cake.
ReplyDeleteMerisi, I can feel the hospitality of this cafe! I wish I could also summon up a cup of delicious coffee and a slice of scrumptious cake.

Jelinek. Seems like there's a comedian on TV these days by that name. Reckon his people are from that part of the world maybe.
