The Central Cafe of Vienna-- A Cafe with Culture and History

Vienna is a city with no lack of culture, located in the center of Europe, known as the capital of the whole Europe, once all-powerful politicians and all kinds of literati, musicians and artists have gathered here. Vienna, as a cultural city, is no less than the established European cities-Paris, Venice, Rome.

In many cases, the cafe is said to have originated in Vienna, a city on the border of Central and Western Europe. In Vienna, there is no shortage of cafes, walking on the road, all kinds of cafes abound, but Vienna may be because of its heavy historical and cultural accumulation, its coffee is also very traditional, the emerging boutique coffee culture does not have much impact on it, you can not even find the tail of boutique coffee in the street, Viennese still stubbornly drink their own coffee.

Among the many cafes in Vienna, the more famous ones include the Central Cafe (Central Cafe), Damel and so on. This is my third visit to Vienna. This time I would rather give up all my itinerary. I must spend an afternoon sitting in the well-known Central Cafe to experience the European tradition.

The Central Cafe, located in a relatively partial position in the inner city of Vienna, takes a bus to the entrance of the Hofburg Palace, where the tourist bus usually stops and enters the main entrance of the Hofburg Palace (the red line in the map). Keep following the flow of people, through two doors to a small square, at this time is a multi-road fork, turn left, continue along the road, go straight The location of the first fork is the Central Cafe. If you just want to see the Central Cafe and leave immediately, you can follow the blue route in the picture to reach the landmark Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.

Now let's take a look at this historic cafe.

The building where the Central Cafe is located is very characteristic, which happens to be a dividing line separating the two streets. It was designed by a famous designer and forgot his name, so it is easy to find it.

The sign of the Central Cafe is also hung on the side of the building, which has a sense of European history and culture.

When I walked into the cafe, I was surprised by the wax figure of the poet. he was once the most loyal guest of the Central Cafe. The famous "I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe" came from this poet. I'm really sorry. I can't remember his name, a more eloquent name.

The Central Cafe maintains its original interior style.

Menu. In fact, relative to the price of domestic coffee, the price here is really not expensive, the average is between 3.5-5 euros, and about 30-45 yuan. Most Viennese coffee is made with many other ingredients, such as alcohol, cream and so on.

My coffee, with cream and wine.

A cake with coffee.

Sitting in such an environment, there is really an unspeakable feeling, you can feel, you can even touch the history and atmosphere here, at this moment, coffee itself is no longer important, through coffee you feel the culture it carries, at this time, you no longer have to think about why there are not so many boutique cafes in Vienna and why some people say, "there is no coffee culture in Vienna." Because there is already too much culture here, coffee itself, as a culture, is too small here, so that people who are dizzy no longer have time to care about it.

The waiter who ordered for the guest was also the one he ordered for me.

There are all kinds of snacks in the window.

It was 2 o'clock when I walked into the Central Cafe. I did it for more than 2 hours. When I left, I found that it was already full of people.

At this time, you already need to wait in line to enter the cafe.

Later guests will have to wait outside the store.

What you can see in the photo just now is the main hall of the Central Cafe. In fact, if you walk around the building, you will see many relatively independent private rooms and rooms, most of which also belong to the Central Cafe.

This is a side room. When I first came to Vienna, I had a quick cup of Viennese coffee and left.

If you like coffee and enjoy the coffee culture, then if you have the opportunity to come to Vienna, this beautiful city, don't forget to sit down in the Central Cafe, even if it's only for 30 minutes.
