Everything is wonderful — atmosphere, food, and, of course, coffee But the highlight of my summer is strawberry matcha Just try it! Absolutely legendary!

One of the most atmospheric places to have a coffee in Vienna. As far as I understand, it’s located in an old post office building designed by Otto Wagner. The fact that it has been preserved in perfect condition only adds to its charm. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They’ll tell you about the beans they have on hand and help you pick the perfect treat to go with your coffee. They also radiate charisma and kindness. The coffee itself is delicious. There’s something for those who prefer simpler flavors, but also beans for those who love to experiment and discover new tastes. Give it a try and discover something new!

This cafe is seriously cute, I loved it! It is set in a beautiful building and the atmosphere is very relaxed and chill. The coffee and cakes were really delicious, and the staff were super friendly and cool! They even had a free interactive art exhibition.

Caffe in former Post office house is located in central hall at one counter. For people who likes old architecture its absolutely amazing space. We had coffee and pastry and both were perfect

A very cool and non-traditional spot for a coffee! The atmosphere is unique, and the friendly service makes the experience even better. They offer delicious homemade kombucha and limos, which are a great alternative to the usual drinks. The coffee was also excellent—rich and flavorful. Prices comparing to other places are very good. Definitely worth a visit!

Cafe Exchange is my absolute favorite cafe in Vienna! The owner and staff are friendly and passionate about their work. You can tell the level of detail and care behind everything - from the drinks and food to the atmosphere. They have a great selection of unique and tasty drinks, and fresh and light meals. Not to mention the BEST cheesecake! It’s located in a charming and bright repurposed post office with an open and airy seating area. It’s truly a special place, I highly recommend checking it out! Come in once and you’ll soon find yourself a regular :)

A very cool and unusual spot with a unique atmosphere, located on the ground floor of the former Austrian Postal Savings Bank, designed in 1906 by Otto Wagner. The coffee is quite good, and there’s a wide variety of snacks to choose from. Definitely worth a visit for both the architecture and the experience.
