Wow this post is really fresh! And the place looks interesting!:)
ReplyDeleteThe first photo looks very familiar to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe may have been there within minutes of each other! ;-)
Deletesounds like a great place for reasonably priced snack
ReplyDeleteGood to know and look it up next time I'm in Vienna, for patriotic and gastronomic reasons. Warsaw is rainy too, Merisi.
ReplyDeleteThe perspective on the top shot is just amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for dark grey jeans! ;-)
Deleteloved this place - wasn't too far from our place and would duck in here for mid day snacks, it's just vienna in a nutshell.
ReplyDeleteTrue, thank you! :-)
DeleteDid you see the recent negative reviews on some of those internet travel portals?
Bread too dense (makes me laugh), unfriendly (!!!), expensive. I absolutely disagree with such statements. Even though I only bought two slices for me and a friend to give her a taste of Vienna, a glass of water came free of charge, smiles included. And there even clear your table.
A beer for breakfast! how decadent.
ReplyDeleteI like everything about this place...
ReplyDeleteFun. I like the clock too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures, the top shot makes me wish I were there. One can never have too many such places around town!
ReplyDeleteIf you recommend it Merisi , I will go :-)
ReplyDeleteThey all look like interesting places to stop in and have a bite :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love that second photo of the man tucked away in the perfect-sized corner, with the serving lady's reflection shining in the mirror behind him. Wonderful capture!
ReplyDeleteAbout your question on my blog about the chair...it could well be an Eames, and I have posted a better photo of it there so that you might be able to tell.
Oh, those red chairs look so sparkly and inviting!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a splendid place with delicious food - and the decor stuns.
ReplyDeleteI took Claudia to look at it this afternoon. She was most impressed!
It looks so cozy, yet somewhat retro or art deco...or something! I hope to remember it if we ever find ourselves in Vienna!

Oh this is such a difficult little corner of Wien : Cafe Hawelka on one side, and the unpronouceable T, but incredibly tasty, on the other...I cannot count the number of times I have been torn between choices when visiting !
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, great colour tone, and I know those sandwiches will have tasted divine.
Coming to Wien in November, and I am sure there will be rain.
I don't believe I've ever heard a more pleasant name for a brew than Pfiff. It is, without doubt, the easiest brand-name to pronounce I've ever encountered and is probably made even easier to say once once has had five or six!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to have near you. Starbucks is it for us, but would prefer your raining day hang out
ReplyDeletenice idea! :)
ReplyDeleteComfort fod at anytime, I think. :-)
ReplyDeletei am sorry, i do not understand the concept of too late or too early for coffee ... nope its always a good time for a cup of java
ReplyDeleteBeer Variation.
