This is a small and very plain place which probably also serves Kebab, but the Pizza is actually rather good. Apparently you have to call in advance to ensure that your pizza is ready when you sit down on one of the 2 tables, cleaned by a somewhat differently advantaged young man.
Place is complete with friendly old chef cheerfully yelling at people in a language that seems to be a mixture of at least two different languages.
I also got a lolly pop for free.
Possibly the friendliest staff in the city, the single food sampling I had so far was great.
The kindergarten size table pressed a bit too hard against my knees, though.
This place is great! Why was I not informed of this? Huge Buffet, fresh ingredients and live cooking. AND they got dessert. Doesn't get better than that.

The little chairs are uncomfortable if you like to slouch. If you like waitresses flashing you a smile while walking past your table, then this place is for you. Of course there is the remote possibility that I was especially selected as the recipient of said smile. It is possible!
Anyway, other than that, a rather nondecscript place. The waiter was very polite, too, I guess.
I used to like it there, but somehow they started to suck a bit. It is a game of chance to get a decent bagel there these days. It highly depends on who makes it. Some of the staff really skimp on the spreads.
They do have excellent and fresh ingredients, that's for sure. Sometimes they just don't use them to their full effect :)
This is the single bakery in town, besides the Konsum "supermarket". You will find old folks and the out of work young folks hanging out there for coffee.

This is a nice place. A completely typical Wiener Kafeehaus. The waiters are on top of things, and there is always a nice little corner seat to sit in and read a book or write in a notebook, like a true nerd.
Their pastry is kind of not so good, but oh well.

The main attraction of this place for me is the fact that it is not ridiculously crowded in the afternoons like the swanky places in the first, and that it is close to where I live.
In addition, their coffee is excellent. The waiters are reasonably well pretending that they don't hate you, and the smoke is not too bad.
I liked the big piece of gugelhupf for 2 euros. The outside seating area is nice, but a bit ruined by the traffic squeezing through the narrow street. The waitress was a bit confused at times, but charming.
