Of course, Vienna is famous for
this. Our favourites are:
Alt Wien
Aida (Wollzeile)
Bräunerhof
Central
Diglas
Frauenhuber
Griensteindl
Landtmann
Prückel
Schwarzenberger
Sperl
Tirolerhof
where we drink:
(1) Schwarzer: strong black coffee; kleiner Schwarzer is the
equivalent of an espresso; a grosser Schwarzer is a double shot; also
called a Mokka;
(2) Brauner: coffee with a dash of milk or cream;
(3) Goldener: coffee with milk; similar to "regular coffee"
in New York;
(4) Mélange: equal amounts of milk and coffee with froth;
(5) Kaffee Crè me: coffee with a miniature pitcher of
milk on the side;
(6) Kapuziner: cappucino (same name, different language);
(7) Kurz: a single shot of espresso;
(8) Mokka: see Schwarzer above;
(9) Verlängter: coffee with hot water added; a good
choice for North
American and English visitors who like their coffee weak;
(10) Einspänner: coffee in a glass with a hefty dollop of
Schlagobers
or Schlag (whipped cream);
(11) Fiaker: espresso in a glass with sugar and Kirschwasser
(a dry cherry
brandy), topped with whipped cream and a cherry; or:
(12) Pharisäer: espresso in a glass with sugar, whipped
cream, cocoa, and a shot of rum. Breakfast in the coffee houses is
something special: a variety of breads:

Salzstangerl
Fintschgerl
Kürbiskernweckerl
