5 Best Cafes for Brunch in Vienna


The Austrian Frühstück or breakfast is a modest affair that typically consists of bread rolls, croissants accompanied by a sweet condiment such as jam or honey, and a coffee or tea to wash it down. Weekend breakfasts frequently extend into brunch, necessitating larger indulgences such as the Kornspitz (a savory bread roll) or the Mehlspeise—a broad term used for any baked treat made from flour, eggs, butter and milk. These meals are commonly referred to as Jause, and there are several such cafes throughout Vienna that serve hearty brunch meals to satisfy your cravings. Here's a list of some of the best cafes near Vienna's main neighborhoods that you should try.

 

Landtmann's Jausen Station


Landtmann's Jausen Station invites patrons to brunch in a regal style against the backdrop of one of Vienna's most important historical landmarks, the Schönbrunn Palace. It’s only fitting that you try the Kaiserschmarrn here. This sort of scrambled pancake was named after Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I, and is a surefire way to sweeten your day. Add to that a plethora of handcrafted treats such as egg dumplings, pastries, and lemonade, all of which can be enjoyed in the sundrenched gardens of Austria's royal palace. 


Vollpension


One will find numerous cafes and nightclubs near the Vienna University of Technology, and the quirky Vollpension is among one of them. This wholesome cafe was the brainchild of two friends Mike Lanner and Moriz Piffl, who wanted to serve meals that were reminiscent of grandma's homemade food. And thus was born Vollpension, a quirky breakfast and brunch spot that serves Austrian delicacies made by omas aka actual local retirees. This rustic-chic cafe on Schleifmühlgasse serves delicious cakes slathered with jam, aromatic coffees, your classic apple strudel, and Sachertortes in a warm, welcoming space reminiscent of grandma's home.


Mani im Vierten


Patrons will recognize this cozy sidewalk cafe on Schleifmühlgasse by the blackboard menus on display at the entrance. The extensive brunch menu offers a variety of delectable brunch options, including Mediterranean favorites like shakshouka, organic baked goods, Eggs Benedict, and decadent breakfast desserts like Coconut Porridge and French Toast with berry ragout.


Haas & Haas


Located in a bustling neighborhood near St Stephen's Catherdral, Haas & Haas provides a quiet respite to relax and enjoy a cup of tea. Pair your favorite brew with a hearty ham and cheese plate with apricot-chili chutney or enjoy freshly made pancakes with the Wachau apricot jam, which is a bit of a culinary celebrity here. 


Cafe Motto am Fluss


Make this quaint terrace cafe your next destination for a decadent brunch. This cafe, designed to look like a cruise ship, is docked on one of Vienna's most iconic locations, the Danube Canal. The terrace provides scenic views of the lovely city, which you can enjoy while sampling baked organic treats, homemade lemonade, fresh salads, breakfast pastries, and other brunch fare.
