Amazing specialty cafe, very cozy, extremely comfortable atmosphere

Lovely little cosy cafe with great coffee and cakes. The Thursday morning I visited, I was told that cooked breakfasts start at 10am….so, sleep in and then come.

This is cafe is a wonderful pitstop. Don't fret if you didn't get a spot at cafe central,Tobias and Helene will serve you better coffee in a nice ambience. If you are looking for grumpy Viennese waiters, you are wrong here. The staff, self roasted coffee and self-made cakes are to die for. The courtyard is cute and cozy and if you visit in winter be sure to make a reservation. It is well worth it.

Honestly cannot say enough nice things about my visit to Kleines Wiener Cafe. Coffee and food were great. Atmosphere was so kind and comforting that I wish it was my local.

Whether you live close by or are just passing through, this is *the* place to be for your coffee fix. They roast their own beans and bake their own cakes. Quality, machine, technique, service and prices, everything is on point. The cherry on top is their hidden, tranquil seating area inside an old, super well preserved romantic “Innenhof” that you would normally only get to see on guided tours or overpriced cafes or restaurants in the nearby districts.

On the last day in wien, we visited here and had a cafe latte with regular milk and a matcha latte with oat milk. I enjoyed really the taste of coffee and latte art of barista was very professional.

Such a lovely lovely cafe with really good service and food, clean toilets, and cozy ambiance perfect for just lounging around, want some quiet alone time, or just catch up with friends. They have toys available for kids and games/books for adults. Will definitely come back!

Super comfy place, delicious coffee, great cakes, nice stuff. Really reccomending if you are looking for place to rest and that is different from other specialty coffee places:)
