Coffee Culture

Salzburg, Austria's fourth largest city, boasts a rich coffee culture with a long history dating back to the 17th century. The city is home to numerous traditional coffee houses, many of which have been in operation for over a century. Viennese-style coffee drinks, such as Melange (espresso with steamed milk and whipped cream) and Einspänner (black coffee with whipped cream), are popular choices. In recent years, Salzburg has also seen an increase in modern, third-wave coffee shops that prioritize ethical sourcing, direct trade, and precision brewing techniques. Choices vary from iconic coffee houses like Cafe Tomaselli, to newer establishments like Café Bazar and 220 Grad. Despite changes, savoring quality coffee in a relaxed atmosphere remains central to Salzburg's coffee culture.
