I've been here several times and everytime has been amongst my worst coffeeshop experiences.

Ever. Food is atrocious. Drinks are blah. Waiters are dicks (yes it's a typical viennese thing and that's fine but this is my list of what i don't like ;). I was even there twice on the same day and tried to order the same things 3 hours later on a Saturday and suddenly this new (more friendly than the last) waiter said YES they do have hot chocolate.. but it tastes like shit and costs way too much for badly made instant hot chocolate.

I think because they are near the Westbahnhof/U3/U6 they just assume they will always have plenty of guests coming in regardless of quality, but i strongly recommend: if you are in the area and need food/drinks, do whatever is in your power to stay away from here, even if you have to go to a casino bar!!!!!!! ;)

I there have been from few days and I must say that the only thing that I liked is the water (3.

20€ the price that I have paid for a bottle from 0.33cl)!!!!

I have asked an omelet with contour of potatoes and salad.The omelet was acceptable but the potatoes were soaked in a disgusting sauce.

When they have brought us the bill, we have discovered that have made us pay the salsines of ketchup and mayonnaise that we had not ordered and eaten and besides they have made us pay two croissants and one more pretzel, to 1.85€ each!!!!!!!I don't recommend it to anybody!!!!Bye

A typical Viennese coffee house, the Westend is situated directly opposite the Westbahnhof train station, and I guess this means they don't have to try very hard to attract patrons.

The flair is there (non-Viennese readers: this means grumpy waiters and somewhat smoky), and it's comfortable enough, but the food is nothing to write home about, and the coffee is actually pretty bad.
It's okay for quick get-togethers, when its location near both the U3 and U6 subways is advantageous. For all other purposes it's pricey and not on par with the district's other offerings.

I can't believe how run down this place looks these days.

It used to be my goto cafe in my younger years, now it seems to be a smoke filled and uncomfortable place filled with annoying people. At least in the evening. The food is good though.

Conveniently located right across from Vienna's main train terminal, Westbahnhof, Cafe Westend is your typical turn-of-the-century, Viennese coffee house offering traditional dishes, snacks, pastries and a slew of coffees and drinks.

Non-smokers beware - this is Philip Morris territory. Another foreboding: order "just a coffee" and prepare to meet your maker! The Viennese appreciate their coffee and expect specificity. More coffee house info can be found at:
