Vienna – From Coffee With Love

Just the other day I was running to the cinema and on looking to my right, I noticed in the window a…

Naturally I got excited – could this be… another cafe in Vienna dedicated to serving great espresso. So I walked in and lo and behold it was Georg Branny, owner of caffe couture and he mentioned that this was a pop-up shop.

A pop-up ? Yeah! in summary, a pop-up shop is a temporary site for a shop or in this case, a caffe, only available for a short period and Caffe Couture have a spot just off Stephansplatz (the St Stephens Cathedral – Vienna’s most famous landmark) in the heart of Vienna on Jasomirgottstrasse until the end of May 2014, so if you’re near, “pop-in” for great espresso style coffee and filter style coffee too.

Fully equipped with not one, but two La Marzocco espresso machines – a refurbished Linea 2 group and a GS3 complimented naturally with some top class grinders.

I don’t have to reiterate again about the dedication of Georg Branny and his commitment to producing great espresso, but nevertheless, you won’t be disappointed if you visit to satisfy your caffeine fix in the centre of Vienna until the end of May, so pop by.

OK! so you may already know that I was featured in a recent article on CNNs website about 8 of the World’s coffee great drinking cities see link here http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/04/travel/best-coffee-cities/

I’ve got to add that I’m grateful for the coverage to Sarah Reid, the author of the article. However, I wrote a lot more about drinking coffee in Vienna including recommending a few other places. I’m glad that Caffe Couture and Essenti were on the list, BUT the one major omission was the Vienna School of Coffee – a must for serious coffee snobs in Vienna. I wrote about it in December 2012 but although it’s only opened on Saturdays to the public, its still a must for anyone visiting Vienna or living in Vienna.

I promise a blog on Essenti very soon, as that’s the only place I haven’t blogged about yet.
