Top 3 third-wave cafes in Vienna
Caffee Couture
Located within the Palais Ferstel Einkaufspassage, Caffè Couture boasts a minimalist yet inviting design that beautifully contrasts with the majestic architecture and historical arches of the palace. Outside, a few tables and chairs invite you to sit back, enjoy your drink, and take in the intricate architectural details that reflect the city’s rich history and artistic heritage. I highly recommend trying their flat white, crafted with two shots of espresso for a perfect balance of flavor.

Kaffein
Located in Vienna's 1st District, just steps away from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Kaffein is a modern take on the city's historic coffeehouse culture. Situated among the city's cobblestone streets, this coffee haven has two branches: Zeitgeist and Home Base. Each is just a 10-minute walk from the other, offering a blend of tradition and sleek modern design. Aside from great coffee they serve a selection of pastry and cakes that pair well with your beverage of choice.
