Freshly roasted!

Vienna is the city of coffee. Coffee tastes even better when freshly roasted in Viennese coffee roast houses. Our tip: enjoy on the spot or take home as a souvenir.

Very close to the Naschmarkt is the store of the Alt Wien Kaffee roastery. There, customers are welcomed by intense aromas. In the past, coffee was roasted here directly in small batches; today, the roastery has moved to Vienna’s 23rd. district. In the store, you can buy the specialty coffees and also sample them at the bar.

The Wiener Rösthaus is a small roast house offering coffee of high quality and a particularly pretty setting reminiscent of a store selling colonial goods. Drink coffee straight from the roast house in a cozy atmosphere and receive expert advice about which method of preparation best suits which coffee. The owners know their suppliers in person and sell only top-quality coffee made 100 percent from arabica beans. There are also tastings and workshops offered. Gegenbauer roasts the coffee in a small store on Naschmarkt. The range comprises three different roastings of high-quality coffee beans, including the Naschmarkt roasting named after the location.

The traditional café Hawelka is a relatively recent newcomer to the roasting business. Roasting has been done in the 23rd district for a number of years. Now, the coffee is finally also available in the company's own city center shop with modern design and coffee bar. And, of course, the coffee continues to be served in the legendary Café Hawelka located diagonally opposite.

Jonas Reindl Coffee Roasters are also really modern. The coffee from the company's own micro-roasting facility can also be enjoyed on the spot in the purist coffee house ambience in the trendy 7th district.

Mobile coffee

What's more, melange and co. are not only drunk in Vienna's coffee houses. The Espressomobil also serves coffee and Gugelhupf in parks and other public places. To achieve this, a Vespa car was converted into a mobile coffee dispenser with a retro look. The Espressomobil can be found almost daily (except in rain, snow and sub-zero temperatures) at numerous locations in Vienna - see website: www.espressomobil.at
