Café Jelinek

Café Jelinek on Otto-Bauer-Gasse in Vienna’s 6th district is located only a short distance from Mariahilfer Straße, yet its atmosphere could hardly be more different from the city’s busy shopping street.

This small traditional coffeehouse is a place where hurry and stress seem to disappear. The cast-iron wood-burning stove and nostalgic furnishings create the feeling of stepping into a cosy living room from another era.

The coffee is excellent, there is a generous selection of newspapers, and the homemade Gugelhupf is particularly popular. From time to time, you may even find a familiar local personality at the next table, absorbed in conversation.

Café Jelinek is the kind of place where visitors can slow down and simply enjoy the warm, traditional atmosphere of a classic Viennese coffeehouse.
