Café Schwarzenberg

Café Schwarzenberg has been an institution on Kärntner Ring since the 19th century. As one of the oldest coffeehouses on Vienna’s Ringstraße, it combines nostalgic charm with timeless elegance.

Although the café’s existence was briefly threatened in the 1980s, Café Schwarzenberg has long since become an indispensable part of Vienna’s coffeehouse culture. Locals and visitors alike appreciate its coffee specialities, Viennese dishes and traditional pastries. Tea lovers are also well catered for, with a carefully selected range of teas. Another speciality worth trying is the homemade hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Beyond its culinary offering, Café Schwarzenberg is also known for its cultural programme. Exhibitions, concerts and readings regularly take place beneath its elegant vaulted ceilings, making the café an important part of Vienna’s traditional cultural and coffeehouse life.
