Admit one · the scene

Before Sunrise (1995)

Jesse and Céline make pretend phone calls to their friends across a table here, and say what they can't say to each other.

What to order

A Melange and a slice of the Sperl torte (almond and chocolate)

Getting in: Walk in. Sit anywhere, and wait for the waiter.

A coffeehouse from 1880 on Austria's historic register, with billiard tables, marble tables and newspapers on sticks. Order, then stay all afternoon; that's the custom.
