Cafe Espresso

They recently switched their non-smoking/smoking area, so the front room is now a nice place to hang out and have breakfast …

The outdoor area is nice for a soda zitron or a beer on a warm day. I particularly like their grill parties.

That being said, any place with the audacity to call itself "espresso" had better have a good product, and this place, sadly, does not. The coffee is terrible -- very typical, unremarkable, uninteresting and, often, poorly made.

Disappointing considering the fact that when I moved here I thought I had won the lottery because I lived very near Espresso. You see, being somewhat of a coffee nut, I was thrilled to find this place and, although it was closed at the time, an article from a magazine that they had posted in the window declared this shop to have the "best espresso in Vienna."

This, my friends, is a sad joke.

If you don't have high expectations, and want to feel a bit of the rapidly disappearing Neubau vibe, this place is worth a visit.

manchmal riecht es ein bisschen zu sehr nach zigaretten oder anderen sachen, die man rauchen kann. however, good coffee. nice service.

Also have performances in the back room once in a while.

Small, but tres chic.

so make sure to check your glass or cup for stains before taking that first sip.
