Wanted to eat their world famous Kaiserschmarren but i was told that it isn’t available before 10 am but only the cakes on display. Ordered the applestrudel, instead which was a mediocre experience (was served cold) Bottom line: you pay for the name and not...for the food.More

We had booked this online and were so glad we did as the queue was long; we walked straight in and had a lovely meal before going to the opera. The staff were really friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. The schnitzel was...the best we've ever had. The cakes looked amazing but we couldn't manage one! Beautiful room and ambience. This was the best of a number of cafes that we visited in Vienna.More

Eat here if you like history (Trotsky) and a little bit of exhibitionism (since at many of the tables you are on display to the queuing hordes as you eat). We had to fight our way inside together with other people who also had reservations,...the entrance was so crowded this was a daunting task. Once in, contrary to some reviews we had read beforehand, service was prompt and smiling, food was tasty, piano music was a fun addition. Tip: it closes at 9pm and became significantly quieter as the evening went on, but people could still come in for coffee and cake right up to the end of service.More

We queued for about 40min to get lunch at the famous Café Central! The location is great. The interior looks very nice and you can feel the history of the building. The food was good but not exceptional. I was most excited about the desserts...but they were average at best (we got no.12 and no.6). The service though was disappointing (they were extremely slow for our entire sitting. We waited a lot for the waiter to come and give us the menus, pick up the order, bring us the drinks etc.)More

The dining hall has beautiful architecture. Service was great. Food of course was amazing. We ordered pancake (a cake baked in a pan, not crepe), apple strudel. Coffee with orange liqueur. Melange. I wish i could have ordered more. We went around 10 am. After...11 is started to get crowdedMore

The service was good , the quality of coffee is just for tourists and generally nothing special . Too touristic and expensive!

Only got chance to have breakfast there as there is always a long queue. It is well decorated and waiters are friendly. Food is good and if i dk not have to queue up i will try the dinner

Very nice and characteristic place to have a unique breakfast. A bit expensive honestly! We took one coffee one cappuccino, two pieces of cake = 23.8 € According to others eating there for lunch is less expensive in comparison...

We visited in early March and before 10am. There was no queue and the service was excellent. A beautiful setting and reasonable value. It was well worth the visit and we will re-visit on future tripsMore

Very beautiful decoration. The atmosphere is just perfect but the cake and coffee are average and there is nothing special about them. They are the same as everywhere.

Waiter Leo was fantastic... friendly, attentive and quick service. Mostly gorgeous food (especially scrambled eggs and chocolate mousse cake). The only let down was the smoked salmon -mostly the grey bits. Lovely atmosphere, definitely book so you don't have to queue.

Step by (make sure you make a reservation else long queue!) and enjoy the atmosphere of one Vienna most famous coffee house.
