Be honest – how often do you go to Starbucks when craving a latte and a sweet treat, just because you’re too lazy to Google something more adventurous? Well, you’re really missing out! Vienna’s Konditoreien (pastry shops) don’t only serve up delicious sweets, but most of them are also a delicious treat for the eyes, with their gorgeous settings and historical charm. Not to mention, some of them are hundreds of years old!
Anyway, enough Starbucks shaming. We’ve snuck into a few Konditorei before they were open (well ok, somebody let us in) to capture their grand and sugary sweet beauty. Have a look and get inspired for your next coffee and cake craving:
