Full description

Café Schwarzenberg dates back to 1861 and delivers the traditional coffeehouse picture many visitors expect: chandeliers, bow-tied waiting staff and a grand piano. It serves specialty coffee and tea, pastries and classic food, and also hosts concerts and events.

Reviewers praise attentive service and describe it as a highlight of their Vienna stay, often stumbling on it while walking toward the centre. Opening from 7:30 on weekdays and 8:30 on Saturdays until 23:30, it works for breakfast, a coffee break or an evening stop.

Fun atmosphere. Felt touristy. Coffees were nice if the menu seemed a little convoluted. The desserts were ok. We were looked after well by staff who moved another table of guests to accommodate our two prams. Would recommend for the history/culture.
