The Coffee Culture
The traditional Viennese coffee house is like an elegant living room where you can sit long while reading newspapers and drinking coffee. These establishments have antique furniture and tuxedo-clad waiters who balance silver platters of pastries on their fingertips.
In Vienna, coffee serves as more than an afternoon pick-me-up or a morning boost. Coffee is a way of life and a distinctive and important component of local culture in Vienna, which is consistently regarded as the city with the highest quality of life.
When I traveled to Vienna, I stayed at Wombats City Hostel, Vienna Naschmarkt, at $110 for three nights ($36 per night). It is a 6-bed mixed dorm hostel with a shared bathroom and a shower. The room had a sizable window and was clean. My experience went smoothly and felt like heaven in a city full of peaceful coffeehouses. Let's talk about how far the cafes are from the hostel and how you can reach them.
Cafe Central
As you indulge in Café Central's mouthwatering selection of gourmet dishes, take in the historic surroundings. A group of authors and poets, including Polgar, Zweig, and Altenberg, as well as a revolutionary (Trotsky), a psychotherapist (Freud), and an architect (Loos), entered a café. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Viennese cuisine, specialty coffee drinks, and sweets from the on-site patisserie.

Cafe Hawelka
Cafe Hawelka, which Leopold Hawelka opened in 1939, features warm wood panels and dimly lighted hanging globe lamps, giving it a bohemian feel. Artists and performers like Oskar Werner and Friedensreich Hundertwasser visited it in its early years. Café Hawelka and many other cafes in Vienna have no menu. Instead, the waiter will give you options for you to choose from. When the bill comes, you could be surprised! Two Melanges, a slice of Sachertorte, a piece of apple strudel, and a small water bottle cost around €24. It seems quite expensive, but it's worth enough.

Cafe Frauenhuber
Cafe Frauenhuber is the oldest coffeehouse in Vienna, Austria. Local cuisine is served in a classic cafe in a former medieval bathhouse where Mozart and Beethoven once performed. When people say that Vienna's coffee house culture has a lengthy history, they mean it. Café Frauenhuber will shortly mark 200 years in business in a structure that is more than 300 years old. A slightly oddball mixture of styles can be found inside, largely due to the establishment's antiquity. The crimson upholstery, bentwood-style chairs, and hardwood hat stand contrast with the white vaulted ceiling's broad arches. The cuisine is as traditional as possible. If you haven't had traditional Vienna cuisines like Kaiserschmarrn, apple strudel, Schnitzel, sausages, or Serviettenknödel, now is your opportunity.

Silver globe lighting fixtures in the classic Josef Zotti design from the 1930s produce a highly unique lighting effect.
