Café Goldegg sits on the corner of Argentinierstraße and Goldeggasse in the 4th district (Wieden), not far from the Belvedere. The interior is Art Nouveau: wood paneling with ebony inlays, black marble tables, dark green plush booths and brass chandeliers. The café is a regular film location.
The Dobner family of coffee house owners founded the café in 1910 as "Café Dobner", and it became a regular haunt of railroad workers. During the Nazi era, persecuted trade unionists and Revolutionary Socialists met here until May 1941. In 1988/89 the café was faithfully restored with support from the Vienna Old Town Preservation Fund (Wiener Altstadterhaltungsfonds), and it has been a listed historic monument ever since.
There are main dishes and freshly made pastries, with more cakes in the display case. According to the menu from May 2025, a Melange (Vienna's milky coffee, similar to a cappuccino) costs €4.80, an Einspänner (black coffee topped with whipped cream) €5.90 and a kleiner Brauner (small espresso served with a dash of cream) €3.70. Sachertorte costs €5.60, the gluten-free poppy seed cake €5.50 and the Apfelstrudel also €5.50. The Viennese breakfast costs €6.90, the English breakfast €10.90.
