Located in the tranquil surrounds of Kardinal-König-Platz, Café daskardinal is a delightful retreat for both locals and visitors seeking the quintessential Viennese café experience. This charming café is more than just a place to grab a coffee; it embodies the warmth and hospitality that Austria is known for, making it an inviting stop for anyone looking to unwind.

As you step into Café daskardinal, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets you, setting the stage for a sensory experience. The menu boasts a delightful selection of beverages, including the traditional Melange, a coffee that blends the rich flavors of espresso with creamy milk, reminiscent of beloved Viennese coffee culture. For those who prefer something a little stronger, the kleiner Brauner promises an intense yet smooth experience, while the Verlängerter offers a lighter, longer sipping option perfectly suited for leisurely afternoons.

But it's not just the coffee that sets Café daskardinal apart; their culinary offerings are equally impressive. Guests rave about the classic warm Apfelstrudel, which pairs beautifully with a steaming cappuccino. The meticulous attention to detail, as highlighted by one satisfied customer, ensures that even a simple cappuccino becomes a work of art, elevating your coffee break into a moment of indulgence. A must-try, as shared by Mathias, are the Kardinalschnitten—a delightful treat that truly lives up to its name and legacy.

The ambience here is uniquely serene, providing a peaceful haven away from the bustle of the city. Caroline H. noted the heartfelt service and genuine care she received during her visit, which instills a sense of belonging that keeps patrons returning. Many choose to settle in with a good book or newspaper while sipping their favorite coffee, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing respite from your day.

In the warmer months, the charming garden becomes a delightful oasis where you can savor your refreshments outdoors, soaking in the cheerful atmosphere. As Vanessa Otto mentions, the café's cleanliness and calm vibe enhance the overall experience, making every visit truly enjoyable.

Whether you're looking to enjoy a quiet moment alone, catch up with friends, or simply treat yourself to delicious treats, Café daskardinal stands out as a true gem in Wien. Experience the joy of Viennese coffee culture and the heartfelt hospitality that awaits you at this charming café.

Melange, kleiner Brauner, Verlängerter, die Kaffeelehre ist für mich als Deutsche perfekt. Was mir besonders gut gefallen hat, die Liebe zum Detail, die Herzlichkeit, die mir entgegengebracht wurde, auch wenn ich 'nur' einen Kaffee wollte. Ich habe viel mehr bekommen...

Wir waren am 26.3.22 nach einem Seminar, welches Daniela besucht hat hier. Es war nur mäßig besucht. Ich vergönnt mir einen warmen Apfelstrudel und einen Cappuccino, den die anwesende Servierkraft so schön verzierte, dass ich ihr sagte, da trau ich mich gar nicht umrühren. Netter Ausklang eines anstrengenden Tages.

Eine Perle mitten in Lainz - so könnte man das Cafe Kardinal ohne Weiteres beschreiben: Abgesehen von der idyllischen Atmosphäre, etwas abseits vom Verkehrsgeschehen, sitzt man gemütlich bei einer Melange oder einem Strudel und genießt dabei den Überblick über die Lainzer Straße. Geheimtipp, der eigentlich gar keiner ist: Unbedingt die Kardinalschnitten probieren - nomen est omen!

Sehr ruhiges, angenehmes Ambiente. Beim ersten Mal Kaffee zum mitnehmen, aber ab dem zweiten Mal Kaffee & Croissant zur Tageszeitung. Wird immer seltener, aber die Zeit sollte bzw. muss man sich nehmen.

Nettes, ruhiges, sauberes Café am Lainzerplatz hinter der Kirche im Kardinal König Seminarhaus. Schsnigarten im Sommer. Guter Kaffee, Zeitungen. Nette Kuchenauswahl.
