If you’re caught in the rain while you’re somewhere in Neubau, perhaps near Burggasse, you’re one lucky bastard as you’ve got plenty of cafés in your proximity to bunker down in. One of them is Café Zehnsiebzig!
The layout and the curved ceiling of this place give the whole café a snug atmosphere, which will feel even cosier if you manage to snatch one of the windowsill seats!
The flooring will make you feel extra homey if you live in an Altbau, and the old–school tiles of the cafe look like they’ve been lifted from the foyer of a Viennese Altbau! The owners of Café Zehnsiebzig don’t believe in adding frills, or extravagant furniture pieces; instead they prefer to keep it simple and throw in a little splash of colour, with cyan-coloured wooden chairs, into the mix.
A big-ass picture of an octopus’ limbs is hung on the wall, which may be their subtle way of hinting at their Mediterranean kitchen. In Cafe Zehnsiebzig, Viennese coffeehouse culture and Croatian delicacies come together to form a very special menu, involving some unique breakfast options and some light snack plates, like a Dalmatian prosciutto plate, and the Adriatic anchovy plate. Their coffee beans are organic and fair trade and they know how to make quality coffee out of them. They also have a few artisanal touches to the menu, like the fact that they produce their own herbs and olive oil on an island down south off of Croatia.
