Sweet shopping in Vienna

  1. A

    Altmann & Kühne

    This charming small shop has a touch of the old world about it, partly due to the handmade packaging of its chocolates and sweets, designed by Wiener Werkstätte in 1928. Altmann & Kühne have been producing handmade bonbons for more than 100 years using a well-kept secret recipe.

    Oberlaa

    Some locals swear that Oberlaa sells the best confectionery in Vienna (in the face of some stiff competition). That’s a tough one, but it no doubt offers the most beautifully packaged chocolates, and no other local macaroon measures up to its ‘LaaKronen’ – brightly coloured in flavours like pistachio, lemon and strawberry, available singly or in gorgeous boxed sets. There are seven other branches around town.

    Opern Confiserie

    An old-fashioned confectionery store in the midst of buzzing Kärntner Strasse, with a dizzying array of handmade truffles, many-shaped marzipan, and brightly coloured fruit gelées. Look out for Austrian-made Bachhalm handmade chocolate bars, with chunky ingredients – from standards like pistachio to more-challenging taste concepts such as rose petal and shitake mushroom.
