A worn-in Mariahilf neighborhood café — wood walls, a tile stove throwing warmth, cozy lamps, newspapers on the rack as tradition demands — and the locals' authentic alternative to the tourist coffeehouses. Order a Verlängerter, the long coffee that is the local order, and settle in by the stove. Afternoons are best, when the cozy atmosphere is at full strength and the regulars hold court. It is genuine Viennese coffeehouse culture without the crowds or the spectacle — the real thing, slightly frayed at the edges in all the right ways, kept alive by the people who actually live nearby.
