Every Viennese coffee house ought to be just like the wood-panelled, poster-plastered, fantastically eccentric Sperlhof, which opened in 1923. It still attracts a motley crowd of coffee sippers, daydreamers, billiard and ping-pong players, and chess whizzes today. If you're looking for a novel, check out the selection of secondhand books, many of which are propped up on the outside windowsills.
