Opened in 1876 inside the Palais Ferstel at Herrengasse 14, Cafe Central is one of Vienna's most architecturally spectacular historic coffeehouses, with soaring vaulted ceilings and a roster of former regulars from Trotsky to Herzl. Included here as a mandatory cultural reference for any Vienna coffee itinerary, not as a third-wave destination. Pastry and atmosphere are the draw.
