Prater & East of the Danube
This light and airy white-walled space should be high on your list come Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and cake) time. The cakes are rather glorious – whether you plump for mango cheesecake, a warm, cream-topped scone or the chocolate Guinness cake that's a testimony to the Irish founder. Or go for brunch options like French toast made with homemade brioche.
There's a kids' table to keep little ones occupied as well as pavement seating.
