We ordered the veal snitzel which was very disappointing. The salad was just plain iceberg lettuce and potato salad tasted like it was waterlogged. Horrible!!
Staff were friendly and good atmosphere. Pity about the food.
This is one of those places that you step into and feel as if you have been transported to another time and place. It is a time and place that features tasty food and interesting drinks, but remarkably poor service. Perhaps this was a known feature of early twentieth century Viennese coffee houses. If so, I offer a commendation for authenticity, but can't recommend that anyone go with the intention of actually eating and drinking.
After we were shown to a table, we sat waiting for someone to take our order for twenty minutes. After we asked to order twice, it still took ten minutes for the waiter in question to actually arrive to take the orders. On a positive note, the meals and drinks all arrived in good time. Complements to the kitchen and the gent tending the bar. We then thought we might have some more drinks and a dessert, but our table remained full of dirty dishes and our signals for service from the waiting staff were all ignored.
We essentially gave up. We paid the bill at the counter and found a pub that was more than happy to help us with some coffee, desserts and a few glasses of wine.
Disappointing.
Great scenery and excellent service with great coffee with generous servings, always greeted with friendly faces, always a pleasant place to visit
Fantastic place.
Can choose from heaps of varities of coffee.
Cakes were delicious.

Great day trip from Melbourne. Good food and coffee with a bustling atmosphere. Next door of a winery and second hand wares bazzare
Amazing coffee and service is excellent. The ambience is nice and just a great place to sit down and have a coffee and food.
Austrian/German food and drinks menu is fantastic..great flavours and variety. Coffee really good too 👌
Service really slow. Atmos good. No self evident vegan options. Coffee good
Great service great food and wonderful staff
Mentioned it was our wedding anniversary
They came running out with two glasses of champagne how good is that
Great Coffee, freshly roasted. Castlemaine is lucky to have such a great roastery ☺
Delicious food, great coffee and one of the most beautiful cafe's i have ever stepped into.
Rude staff that not only do not consider dietary restrictions but lie about the content of their food and mock patrons. Very strongly suggest any other cafe in town.
We are so lucky to have this amazing coffee house in Castlemaine, it is an authentic Austrian coffee house, don't bring your kids unless they are extremely well behaved 🤜🏿🤛🏻
