Café Tirolerhof is on Führichgasse in the Innere Stadt, a few steps from the Albertina and the Vienna State Opera. It is a classic Viennese coffee house without reservations: you sit wherever there's a free seat.
The silk manufacturer Eduard Friedmann had the building constructed in 1885 as the "Haus zur Seidenraupe" (House of the Silkworm). The silkworm can still be seen in the family coat of arms on the facade. The ground floor first housed a dairy run by Lothar Ritter von Neuhauser. According to the website, the brothers Walter and Hans Kunz turned it into Café Tirolerhof in 1918. Despite updates to meet modern safety standards, the original style has been preserved almost unchanged.
The apple strudel and the Topfenschnitte (quark cream slice) are homemade. There is also Milchrahmstrudel (milk-cream strudel) with vanilla sauce at €8.90 and Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake), for which you should allow about 25 minutes' waiting time. Sachertorte is not on the menu, but a Sacher slice is, at €5.90. According to the menu from December 2025, a Wiener Melange (Vienna's milky coffee, similar to a cappuccino) costs €5.90, an Einspänner (black coffee topped with whipped cream) €6.90, a small Brauner (espresso with cream on the side) €4.20 and the homemade apple strudel €6.50. The Viennese breakfast at €11.90 is served until 11:00, and the lunch menu until 19:00.
