Cafe Weidinger

“Ideal für gemütliches Frühstück abseits des Internationalen Buffets.”

Joanna Bryson★★★★★

Proper retro cafe with no music!! Great day and night, a little dicey early evening sometimes. Full of both hipsters and locals. Laptop tolerant but no WiFi. Nothing vegan but the water. No choice of wines or beers, but what they have is perfect for them. The baking is similarly awesome and austere both. Unfortunately the one non-retro thing is the tea! Otherwise I’d be here most mornings. This is one of many places in Vienna that hasn’t gotten the memo about microplastics. Tea comes in plastic wrapped plastic “bags” such as we thought were so amazing in the ‘00s. Just go back to naff paper b

Time travel is possible and worth a try. Absolutely authentic and unique place. 5 stars just for the atmosphere. The owner herself Mrs. Weidinger seated us upon arrival. Just sit down, have a drink, read the paper provided on site and soak up the ambiance. Prices are unbeatable,too.

"I absolutely loved the service here—warm, kind, and authentically Austrian. The highlight was the lovely elderly grandma who does the cooking; her dishes felt like true homemade comfort food. My 3-year-old was particularly fond of the place, and it’s easy to see why. Highly recommended for a genuine and heartwarming experience!"

Café Weidinger too is a real Viennese institution. An absolute must-see, cozy, old-style, popular, shabby Viennese coffee house, with the obligatory misanthropic waiters. All in all, a real time machine! The relaxed atmosphere lends itself to hours of conversation and reading. If you’re in the mood for games, they have Carom billiards tables and a Viennese-style bowling alley. Literary readings are common here, and you may even recognize the interior from Jem Cohen’s movie Museum Hours. Café Weidinger is WORTH EVERY DETOUR!
