Café Frauenhuber

We cafe-hopped during a week’s stay in Vienna, visiting at least ten different cafes. This café was the least-mentioned in guidebooks/websites, but it was our favorite by far. During the third week of January it was quiet, most of the clientele were local, and we felt most welcome and unhurried. We visited again and were even more welcomed by our waiter who remembered us, remembered our previous orders, and warmly greeted as if we were regulars. Most highly recommended.

I had a lovely experience having coffee and breakfast at Café Frauenhuber. The food was fresh and delicious, coffee was great, and the service was excellent. It’s tucked away a bit so it’s nice and quiet. I enjoyed watching the locals headed off to work for the day.

Ordered the Verlangarter coffee. They had an older waiter. Not very helpful and welcoming. Wanted to call the waiter to order more food but he basically didn’t look our way even though the place was relatively empty then. In the end, we decided to leave the cafe without ordering our food. The cafe might have a long history but for us tourists, but I think they should look at providing better service to all customers.

Outside area is small and very crowded but inside is stylish and comfortable. The food is great - traditional Viennese cuisine. I recommend visiting this place because it’s a most ancient coffee place in town.

Be ready to meet the attitude: Hr. Andreas, the waiter, was rude and not helpful and actually turned away some customers even though the restaurant was empty around noon. He looked tired and openly complained and scolded the guests. However, he was flirty with some couples. The Tafelspitz for 28.90 was good, though.

Unfortunately the staff let the place down. Turning people away when there are plenty of tables. Very slow service especially for Oriental guests. Need to get better staff.

The food was perfect and service excellent. I just hope they will add milk free items on menu. For example it is unnecessary to have milk in Snitchel.

The coffee was delicious. I came multiple times to try different options. None disappointed. Service is what you would expect in Vienna. Atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. Historical significance was a plus and the initial draw.
