- ViennaInfoMarch 8, 2012This artist’s café is more – it’s a Viennese institution. Gourmets recognize the Hawelka - especially after 10 pm - by the wonderful smell of Buchteln, yeast buns filled with jam. Read more
Taipei videosDecember 11, 2013One of the oldest - and most reputable in Vienna. Venue of Georg Danzer 's famous ' Hawelka song' . Merry Christmas all. taken in November. Latest courtesy of Do&Co Christmas in nearby Stephansplatz
Alejandra RochaFebruary 9, 2014After reading other comments, we decided just to get there, order directly two Sacher Torte and an espresso and a chocolate. Delicious, especially the espresso. No credit cards, so take enough cash.
Iulia AndreeaJanuary 16, 2019If you want to feel like you just travelled in time,this place is the one. Very beautiful inside, kind staff. Really good coffee. Best when you're trying to hide from the hectic world.
David KratkyJanuary 18, 2015An amazing place to enjoy a great melange on a late winter afternoon. Free wi-fi. For me, the number 1 Kaffeehaus in Vienna.
Mathieu NickelsJanuary 7, 2015One of the most famous small coffeshops. Used to be ran for 60 years by Hawelka couple who knew everything about viennese culture and sit & talked 2u but this has changed with younger generation..
Johnny KoutiolasDecember 24, 2016One of the oldest cafes in Vienna. Amazing atmosphere and great coffee. Highly recommended
Megan JenningsOctober 19, 2016Great no-nonsense service and atmosphere, very genuine. Coffee and strudel is delicious, make sure you bring cash as they don't accept card payments.
Ryan AndersonJune 21, 2019There is no menu and the waiters prefer you to speak in German. That said, if you’re decisive and ask for what you want, my wait happily told me what they had in English and the service was quick.
AnastasiaMay 9, 2014Buchteln after 22.00 are super! Atmosphere is very friendly and relax. Waiters are nice and helpful. There is no menu, cause everyone should know, why he is here
Giana ZulkafliSeptember 12, 2015Coffee is great , step back into time ! Can be pricey but worth it , courtyard is a good spot for hangout .
Tania StachJanuary 8, 2017Definitely one of the most authentic Viennese cafes. Expect to wait cause it's always crowded...but totally worth it. Amazing apfelstrudel.- Heinz RainerOctober 28, 2012Traditions run deep at Cafe Hawelka, no doubt waiters have sometimes an attitude, but in which famous Cafe they don't .. famous Cafe Hawelka one of Austria 's greatest composers sang about ..
Emma TowersOctober 19, 2015I came on a rainy Monday 1.45pm and its stuffed to the brim with Americans and people from around the world lucky to get a chair to sit on
Ozgun GAugust 9, 2013If you are wandering around the streets of Vienna its a hidden gem, if you are searching for it you already know it;)
Anna F.June 16, 2018I liked that the hot chocolate was unsweetened and they brought 2 sugar cubes with it (which I didn't use).
Ko RickerNovember 22, 2015A Viennese institution definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere, just not if you're on a budget.
Sam KilmanMay 30, 2018Cool place, waiter is rude/amusing if you don’t attempt to speak German. No menu you have to walk in and look at blackboard.
Sophia ZabotinaMay 7, 2015The best place to try Viennese strudel. Very atmospheric place. Don't ask for the menu, they do not have it
Fiachra MaguireAugust 20, 2014Rather gruff waiters, straightforward good coffee and a dark atmosphere, what more could you want.
MarinaAugust 13, 2014Awesome atmosphere. Transport yourself to pre-war Vienna while sipping a melange.
Marta de CastroNovember 19, 2014The oldest cafe in Vienna still conserves it's typical mood. Don't forget to leave a tip or they'll get mad at you...
autumn NgDecember 16, 2014Buchteln are really great but in general, its way too expensive. We ordered one tea, a melange and buchteln and paid 17€ in total!
Alp TurgutOctober 5, 2014Espresso is absolutely delicious. If you are coffee lover like me, you won't be disappointed.
Ozge YAugust 8, 2015Old and antique atmosphere. No air-conditioning inside. There is ice-cream in their iced coffee! It was great.
ClemensAugust 13, 2014The atmosphere is quite unique and sets it apart from the "classic" cafés such as Landtmann or Central- N KMay 2, 2019Great place with fantastic Sacher and coffee. They don’t have menu, but actually you don’t need it)
OlesyaSeptember 30, 2012There is no menu, but there is a special baked things - buchteln like donuts with jam. It's very delicious, and serve fresh-baked!
Berkay ŞentürkJanuary 6, 2016Hot chocolate they prepared was just water with some chocolate. But they make very tasty strüdels.
Bengü EvcioğluFebruary 10, 2018Chocolate cake and coffee is good. Old and local place. Prices are normal.
- Anna F.June 16, 2018I got a Sacher Torte and a hot chocolate. The waiters were NOT rude at all (as many in the comments say), but maybe that's because I speak German pretty well. Photo = € 9, ok for Vienna
- Sam KilmanMay 30, 2018Cool place, waiter is rude/amusing if you don’t attempt to speak German. No menu you have to walk in and look at blackboard.
Taygun TuranJanuary 29, 2015Cool comfy place for a drink and chat with friends. Dark beer is a good choice.
Dylan StilinJuly 15, 2014Very cool spot, classic vibe with an interesting mix of people. In my experience the waiters were nothing but friendly.
Helin DundarOctober 5, 2014Great atmosphere, and delicious cafe melange. The service is a bit slow if youre sitting outside.
Harald B.August 20, 2014Unique coffee house, unique atmosphere at night, unique service (of its kind) ;-)

Lubomir K.April 14, 2017Do not ask for the menu, it is on the wall, written by chalk on a small blackboard. Rude and unfriendly staff. Buchteln mit Powidl for 10 €. Not worth the price thanks to outdated interior and waiters
Adam ŠafránekSeptember 17, 2015The atmosphere of 100+ years old café is still there. Outstanding experience.
🔰Volodymyr ShuvayevMarch 20, 2019Apple struedl is nice, zacher cake is quite weak. Will try Cafe Zacher for that
Carlos IsernOctober 5, 2014If you ever come to Vienna you defenitely have to visit that place and have a cup of coffee!
Bára LiterováMay 8, 2017The personel could be nicer, coffee better, but the cake was good and the atmosphere in there was nice.
Masha LeshchinskayaSeptember 1, 2014EUR 4 for a cup of melange?! come on guys! your history and ambience can't cost THAT much!
Anders HovdumAugust 1, 2015Every review is great, so we were a little disappointed. Coffee ok, service not at it best. The waiter forgot what we ordered, and it was really difficult to get the bill and pay so we could move on.
