The 6th district’s got an awesome selection of traditional Viennese coffeehouse and a mix of young and hip cafes.
At Café Ritter on Mariahilfer Straße, you’ll be thrown back to the 19th century – it truly doesn’t get anymore traditional in terms of Viennese coffeehouses. Café Kafka on Capistrangasse has got a Bohemian art vibe going on, with plenty of creative looking types hanging out there.
Café Jelinek on Otto-Bauer-Gasse has got the true Viennese coffeehouse charm where you can spend some lazy idle hours (and finally get on with writing that book of yours that you’ve always wanted to write). Café Sperl on Gumpendorfer Straße is one of those coffeehouses that has inspired many creatives in the past, with a mix of writers, painters, architects and composers that were once amongst the crowd. Nowadays it’s filled with tourists and locals that love the old world charm of it.
If you’re on the hunt for a hip and trendy cafe, Mariahilf’s got plenty to offer, too. Grab a coffee at Liebling in Schadekgasse, or at Brass Monkey. Or, if you’re specifically looking for a vegan option, hit up ausnahmsweise on Hofmühlgasse.
Oh, and the weekend brunch at Cafe Mill is legendary.
