Vollpension – Vienna’s retro cafes

What kind of heavenly place serves up that warm and safe feeling that only an Oma can emit with your coffee? Vollpension, that’s who. It looks like the place has been put together by somebody hunting down golden oldie gems from flea markets for a year. Made up of comfy couches, random framed photos on the wall, bare brick and neon signs – it’s a very comfy place to stuff yourself with cake. Everything is retro about this place, including the waiting staff (sorry, insensitive pun indeed). It almost has an American diner feel mixed into it as well.

At Vollpension, Omas are the bakers and the characters of the place. And while offering plates filled with cake and pastry art, they also fill you with that inexplicable warm homey-ness feeling they naturally emanate. The varieties of cakes served up here depends on which Oma is baking that day – each have their own specialty. One things for sure though, you’re cake cravings won’t be disappointed.
