The Viennese coffeehouse culture

The coffeehouse has made its triumphal march across the world and is now more attractive than ever - a place to take a short breather with a cozy cup of coffee. The unique atmosphere is universally appreciated and the culinary delights surrounding the tasty beverage are constantly being spun:
First and foremost, the world-famous Viennese pastries, such as the Sachertorte, the apple strudel or the Linzer Torte. Did you know that the apple strudel also originated during the Turkish Wars and comes from the sweet baklava? The Sacher Torte also has a history - the kitchen boy "Sacher" was commissioned to create it at the court of Prince Eugene after the chef for a large banquet was absent due to illness. Who would have thought that the sweet delicacy would still be so well received so many years later.

Thinkers, poets, painters and revolutionaries, they were all guests in the Viennese coffeehouse. Mozart, Johann Strauss Jr., Athur Schnitzler, Otto Wagner, Thomas Bernhard: They all appreciated the coffee house as a meeting place, a place of inspiration, a performance venue for concerts, a place of relaxation and retreat - because the coffee house is also a place to be together, alone.

When ordering for the first time in a coffee house, many guests are first of all slightly overwhelmed, because the most diverse preparation variants of the black brewed beverage require explanation. Whether it is the "Kleine Schwarze" or the "Große Braune", this riddle is still relatively easy to solve, but it becomes more difficult with the "Einspänner", the "Kapuziner" or the "Überstützten Neumann". The latter was invented by a regular guest of the Herrenhof coffee house: Whipped cream in an empty cup, "over-supported" with a double mocha.
