Café Hummel
Unpretentious and classic, Hummel is a large Kaffeehaus catering to a regular Josefstadt crowd. The coffee is rich, the cakes baked on the premises and the waiters typically snobbish. In summer, it's easy to spend a few hours at Hummel's outdoor seating area, mulling over the international papers and watching the human traffic on Josefstädter Strasse.

Café Sperl
With its gorgeous Jugendstil fittings, grand dimensions, cosy booths and unhurried air, Sperl is one of the finest coffee houses in Vienna. And that's to say nothing of the menu, which features the Sperl Torte - a mouth-watering mix of almonds and chocolate cream. The best idea is to grab a slice and a newspaper, order a strong coffee, and join the rest of the patrons in people-watching and day-dreaming.

Demel's speciality is the Ana Demel Torte , a calorie-bomb of chocolate and nougat which rivals Café Sacher's Torte .
