This coffehouse, located on the Kohlmarkt in Vienna, was once the purveyor of sweets for the royal house of Austria. And it is among the most famous of the 'sweet bakeries' in that city. We imagined lingering for hours, as history suggests happened in the coffee-house hey-day, over a cup of coffee. The place on our visit was much too... More

The cake arrangement in the window of Demels is beautiful and that image continues inside. Even in January the cafe was too busy to be bothered wating for a seat so we just bought two cakes to have back at the hotel. I think it depends on what you order as to what is really good. The vanilla slice (seems... More

Demel Cafe might be the most famous cafe in the world and there are reasons for this but if you live in Vienna, you only go there once in a blue moon. It has long since moved on from being the friendly neighborhood cafe or the favorite in-town cafe for the Viennese as it is overrun by tourists and slightly... More

We came to Demel for their famous sachertorte cake but ended up having lunch as well. We had soup for appetizers, one goulash soup and one white asparagus soup. Both were wonderful. We then had schnitzel and ended sharing a sachertorte cake. To our surprise the cake itself was the most disappointing part of the meal. The shop itself was... More

Visiting Demel is among the must see attractions in Vienna. It is worth a peak just to see the beautiful display window and all of the sweets in the front room. We were able to get a table in the back and each ordered a hot chocolate/shared a sachertorte. I am so happy that we didn't bother ordering two pieces... More

Yes the famous Cafe Demel in Vienna is quite an experience. The cakes are perfect, the coffee is average, the service is....maybe it is because there are so many people inside the building that the fraulein(s) cannopt cope with tourists asking questions - if you ask where the toilet is you will be snapped at. Actually the most ridiculous thing... More

It seems to be inside a jewellery that sold sweets, infact prices are very hight. We tried sacher torte but it was nothing special very dry with few marmelade (only below the ciocolate top layer) and served without side cream. We tried also the sacher torte of hotel sacher and this one is much better and is served with side... More

I was enchanted as I walked in the door, with the historic interior and the exquisite food on offer, but was immediately put off by the first member of staff. On asking to book a table in the non-smoking area for later in the day, she told me I should just come back then as there would be lots of... More

My wife and i went to Demel, we simply had to, as it is such a famous bakery/shop!. We simply had to try it and i have to be honest it is worth it... we decided to take a cake and drinks on the terrace which is nicely located, but that turned out to be a bit of a disappointment... More
