Café Dommayer is in Hietzing, near Schönbrunn Palace. Since 2006 the Konditorei Oberlaa pastry shop has run it as an old Viennese coffee house. Besides the indoor rooms there is a sun terrace, a shady garden and a veranda.
In 1924 the Schneider family of café owners opened the Dommayerhof on this site, with a music pavilion and five o'clock tea in the garden. It closed in 1931. In 1963 the Gerersdorfer family opened a coffee house here, revived the tradition of the concert cafés and had it renovated in old Viennese style in 1984. Oberlaa took over in 2006 and reopened after a renovation on November 20, 2006. Don't confuse it with the earlier venue: Johann Strauss II made his debut on October 15, 1844, at Dommayer's Casino at Hietzinger Hauptstraße 10–14, today the Parkhotel Schönbrunn. According to the Wien Geschichte Wiki, today's café is not the same place.
Cakes and pastries come from Oberlaa's own production, and in summer there is homemade ice cream too. The coffee is an organic Fairtrade roast from Julius Meinl. According to the menus from February 2026, a Wiener Melange (Vienna's milky coffee, similar to a cappuccino) costs €5.50, an Einspänner (black coffee topped with whipped cream) €5.10 and a kleiner Brauner (small espresso served with a dash of cream) €4.30. The Oberlaa Kurbad Torte with walnut, milk chocolate cream and nougat glaze costs €5.70, the vegan Apfelstrudel €5.50. The Viennese breakfast costs €10.30, without a drink.
The café is open daily from 07:30 to 20:30. Breakfast is served until 11:30, hot food from 11:00 to 20:00.
According to wien.info, the main entrance is step-free. Two steps inside lead to the accessible restroom, and the staff will help you with them; from the garden side it can be reached without steps. Assistance dogs are allowed. The U4 station Hietzing is within walking distance.
