Café Weimar is on Währinger Straße in the 9th district (Alsergrund), not far from the Volksoper. It has been a coffee house since 1900 and, according to wien.info, a meeting place for audiences and performers of the Volksoper. Today Johann Diglas runs it as a Viennese coffee house and restaurant.
The café has a historic Bösendorfer grand piano. The website only says that classical melodies can be heard from time to time. According to wien.info, there is live piano music on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 16:00–20:00, with operetta, swing and jazz evergreens. If you want to be sure to hear music, call ahead.
The cuisine is Viennese, with schnitzel and Tafelspitz (boiled beef). Pastries and cakes come from the café's own bakery, and coffee is served on a silver tray. According to the online menu (October 2026), a Wiener Melange (Vienna's milky coffee, similar to a cappuccino) costs €5.80, an Einspänner (black coffee topped with whipped cream) €6.50 and a small Brauner (espresso with cream on the side) €3.90. Apple or Topfen (quark) strudel and cakes from the display case cost €6.20 each. Hot food is served all day until 22:30, plus a weekly menu with a set lunch.
