After trying almost 30 specialty coffee shops in Vienna, I am glad to conclude that the city is as healthy and powerful as it gets in this regard. In light of that, coming here and being amazed by the interior design, the service, the quality and varied coffee offered and the tempting cakes, says it all. Direct to my personal podium of specialty coffee in Vienna. Edit: just to say that I came back to try their wonderful pear cake and an iced flat white. Looking forward to a third visit ❤️

It's a very cosy café. The staff in the store are very friendly and the service attitude is also very good. Some delicate cakes are sold in the store. The seats in the store are also very comfortable, perfect for a quiet afternoon reading a book or chatting with friends. There are seats in the alley outside the store, so it's very comfortable if the weather is nice

We had a lovely morning at Kaffein. The coffee was perfectly made - one of the best cortados I’ve had in a while! Lovely baked treats on display and a comfortable seating area. Friendly staff too.
