Very comfortable, classical Viennese Cafe. Dedicated smoker's and non-smoker's areas. Can occasionally be relatively loud but that does not disturb the overall great ambience.
Wheelchair access is given for both smoker's and non-smoker's area.
Lovely, traditional cafe Viennese style. We were, although, served cakes that were not freshly baked at all. For eating it is inventive and reasonably priced!
Delicious pancakes with icecream and chocolate sauce, as well as the apfelstrudel. Drinks are a bit pricy but if you order tea you get a small pot (which is good for 2 cups of tea).
Well racist waiter.. seeing us from Arab descents he told us the cafe is closed even though it was 7:00 pm and it closes @ 9:00 for me it is zero star and people should not support such cafes with such attitudes and racism ...
Classic coffee-house in the center of Vienna's shopping district. In walking distance to Westbahnhof and MQ and directly in front of legendary bus line 13A. Great selection of newspapers and journals. Clearly above average cakes. I hope it will survive. Why? It lacks spaciousness and a few touches of innovation.
Perfect to meet up with someone in a typical Viennese coffeehouse interior. Good for a stopover when shopping in the neighborhood. Never very friendly service (even for Viennese grumpy standards). The beautiful traditional coffee house interior makes up for it though.
I have been there 5 times and each time I had the same arrogant waiter. Enough reasons not to come back. With todays visit a -different- waiter was nice and normal, however the apfel strudel I got was not fit for human consumption. Stay away from this awful place. Dirk Schram
We found Cafe Ritter after searching the map for Kaiserschmarrn. It was a short walk from our dinner location and in the middle of a premium shopping area. The desserts are large portions and quite tasty. I had an apple strudel, although I was disappointed that it was served cold.
Our waiter was swift and friendly, speaking German and English for our mixed-language group. We were a little i pleasantly surprised to discover at the conclusion that the cafe only accepts cash Euros (no credit/bank cards). While the rest of my party waited at the table, I had to walk about 250 meters down to the Bank of Austria to pull out cash so that we could pay the bill.
In such a premium shopping area in a world class city with high tourism, the cafe needs to accept bank cards. Our ticket was over 20 EUR, which is a sufficient amount to accept cards.
There are certainly prettier cafes in Vienna, but this one was a convenient location this evening. I'm not sure I would return specifically unless I just happened to be in the area again.
Very inpolite waiter. My girlfriend ordered an "espresso with hot milk - served in a mug" and she got a "peppermint tea". When we told him thats not what she ordered. He become very angry and impolite. The coffe was ok.
