Café Hummel is a large family-run coffee house on Josefstädter Straße. Christina Hummel has run it in the third generation since 2005. The menu is extensive, and you can order breakfast dishes almost all day. There are Austrian and international daily newspapers, regional papers from the Austrian provinces and magazines, and at the game tables people play cards, backgammon and chess. In summer you can sit on the terrace in the pedestrian zone.

History

In 1935 Karl Hummel took over what was then Café Parzival. In 1967 Georg and Elisabeth Hummel took over the management and expanded it into the Café Restaurant Hummel with 30 employees. In 2012 the house was gently renovated, and in 2025 it celebrated 90 years of Café Hummel.
