Cafe Sperl

Gumpendorfer Str. 11, 1060 Wien, Austria

Even if Vienna was not a pioneer in coffee house culture, over the centuries it has established a distinctive cafe house tradition, unlike any other city in the world. Experience Vienna's unique coffee culture, dating back hundreds of years.

Although Vienna's coffee house culture is famous around the world, Vienna is not the first city in history to have a coffee shop. There were a number of coffee shops in Mecca as early as the 12th century. The first coffee shop in Europe was opened in Venice in 1647. The first cafes in England were opened in 1650 and 1652. And in Vienna, the first coffee shop opened only in 1683

The cultural history of the Viennese coffee house is closely linked with the end of the Siege of Vienna in 1683. Legend has it that Viennese citizen Georg Franz Kolschitzky (1640 - 1694) was the first to receive a license to serve coffee service in the city after his heroic actions during the siege of Vienna. Coffee beans left behind by the Turks are the basis of his success. A street in the 4th arrondissement, Vienna is named after him and a statue is placed at the corner of the intersection of Favititenstraße and Kolschitzkygasse.

However, the first cafe in Vienna was actually opened by the Armenian spy Diodato. He served at the court of Vienna and was a man full of secrets. He knows the secret of raw black beans and the art of baristas from his hometown. Johannes-Diodato Park in Wieden, Vienna's 4th arrondissement is dedicated to Diodato's memory.

Today, visitors can hang out in Vienna's cafes all day. Read a book or a newspaper; talking with friends; drinking coffee; and enjoy a delicious slice of apple pie. Two drinks that are particularly popular at Viennese cafes are espresso and melange, which is like a Viennese cappuccino.

In general, Viennese, most of whom live in small, crowded apartments, consider elegant cafes as "extended living rooms" or second homes where they can meet friends and others. After World War I, the first dance cafes opened and played popular American jazz. During the world economic crisis of the 1930s, cafes were increasingly used as trading places, where many sought-after goods were exchanged under the table.
