Lucille FisherJanuary 23, 2016The place to go after a stroll in the weekend market. Typical Viennese cafe with live music in the afternoon. This being Vienna, pastries & desserts are delicious!
Iulia AndreeaDecember 12, 2017This is one of the most special and remarkable places to ever exist. Its old air makes it so mesmerizing, and if you are a cinephile then you'll be even more enchanted by it. Excellent coffee also.
Kora-Lee LustFebruary 6, 2018The kleiner Brauner (coffee with cream) and a slice of Topfenstrudel (a kind of cheesecake) were very good. Authentic atmosphere, lovely mix of tourists and locals.
Stacy Bo BacyJuly 4, 2019What a beautiful spot, whether you sit inside or out. Admittedly, I came here because it was in the movie, Before Sunrise, but would recommend to all.
- NicholasAugust 10, 2018Lovely outdoor seating! Scrumptious eggs and ham—don’t forget to ask for a few rolls and butter with breakfast.
Iulia AndreeaJanuary 15, 2019Good one for moviegoers! We all know the place especially from the movie Before Sunrise. Besides, it has a lovely interior design, with really kind staff. Try their coffee and the club sandwich.
Bartoloměj 🦉October 1, 2017Very old (since 1880) and authentic Viennese coffee was supposedly one of Adolf Hitler's favorite cafes when he was a student in Vienna prior to WW I
Sergio SmithDecember 3, 2017Amazing place! Nice, vintage and quiet. Great food variety. Staff is friendly and helpful. Favorite place in Vienna.
Alex GMay 28, 2016House desert (forgot the name) is nice, but not great. Overall cafe Centrale is better in every way if you are looking for some authentic Wien cafe.
Katja M.September 26, 2016Authentic cafe with great selection of coffee drinks and breakfast food. Austrian artists used to visit it quite often.
Travel + LeisureApril 28, 2014A go-to spot for the city’s literati, Café Sperl has intimate, velvet-lined booths and is the ideal place to linger over the newspaper and a piece of Sacher torte.
Kristina BosakMarch 3, 2018Place with a nice atmosphere and tasty Strudel. Really affordable prices and good service!
- Nick SmithJuly 29, 2016Great traditional coffee - Classic Viennese cafe, recommend by a local friend of mine. Did not disappoint and had an English description of each coffee which was great.
- Bartoloměj 🦉October 1, 2017This is the location used in the film "Before Sunrise" (1995) with Ethan Hawke and Julie Deply.You can sit to the exact same booth where Jesse and Celine have their "telephone game". (see photo)
Elizaveta T.January 6, 2015Viennese Classic. Apfelstrudel is the best ( be aware, it's cold but awesome). Outstanding coffee. No Russians.
Alex Naturist WilsonAugust 14, 2012One of the nicest coffee houses in Vienna. Good coffee, cakes and free Wifi but also a bit of history, it is rumoured that Adolf Hitler hanged around here when he was a struggling artist.
Maria MpellouNovember 15, 2019Delicious sweets and good coffee.It isn’t so crowded such as the others traditional Viennese cafes
Birtan ErdoganNovember 1, 2014You can enjoy good music played by the pianist and have delicious desserts with coffee. 9,5/10
Zdena PanisovaJanuary 19, 2018love the place, still very authentic and vivid, a choice of press is impressive
Rebecka BerggrenApril 29, 2015Traditional Viennese cafe. I had the schnitzel which was delicious! Side salad was ok. Really cozy cafe.
Ayse Zeynep GuldikenSeptember 19, 2016travel back in time and gaze out of Cafè Sperl's huge windows while listening to the pianist playing the classics and drinking Melange
An DiJanuary 5, 2014Very cool place to enjoy your daily coffee/tea/cake (sperlschnitte) or just read newspapera or meet friends. Traditional kind of viennese cafe
Johana NevěřilováNovember 17, 2014Where time stopped, beautiful atmosphere, typical unhelpful stuff, definitelly a must!:) I prefer coffee and sacher torte in Cafe Hawelka though.
Andrew D.January 7, 2017Classic Viennese café. Don't believe the waiter if he tells you there's no more Sacher Torte left and tell him to check with the kitchen.
Shery PfeiferApril 18, 2019Desserts are a must-try! Go for the classics like Sachertorte and Apfelstrudel.
Ahmet Talha YıldırımMay 18, 2017One of the typical authentic Viennese coffeehouses. They've some specials as dishes, worth to check menu for them.
D OAugust 18, 2014Very old Viennese coffeehouse with a great interior. A must see if you want to the explore the "Wiener Kaffeehaus Kultur".
The place is cosy,the food&drinks-great. However, watch out for EXTREMELY rude waitresses who can ruin your great experience with their attitude. It's amazing such people are allowed to serve others!
- K. M.October 20, 2016Historic café, beautiful and cozy. The apfelstrudel was the best I've ever had. The other sweets I tasted were just ok.
KonstantinJanuary 11Cozy, delicious food (beef soup, cordon bleu, truffle fries), very nice and attentive service
Hilal BoğaAugust 3, 2018Kabak çekirdeği yağı ile yapılan omlet ef-sa-ne 😍😍 omlette with pumpkin seed is amazing
David AllenMarch 28, 2016Pleasant Viennese cafe. Not all cakes were available when I visited, and service was a little slow. Coffee was good.
Edward RoozeboomMay 24, 2015Nice and authentic, delicious pastries, but service could be better and no pin, only cash!- Christiane LinkAugust 25, 2015Typical Viennese coffeehouse with cosy tables next to the windows. Step-free access.
Asli CelenkApril 20, 2012Best place for breakfast. The place is very quiet and the food is very good. Peace :)
Nigar A-liAugust 16, 2014It took some 90 minutes to have my sandwich, simply because they forgot about the order. Very original, nice and tasty place with slow service.
