The Best Bakeries in Vienna, Austria
Vienna is not just known as the capital of classical music, but also as the capital of cake. From apple strudel to sachertorte, there are countless baked goods worth sampling in Vienna and the city is famous for its sheer abundance of bakeries. Read on to discover our pick of the best.
1. Joseph Brot
Bakery, Austrian
For firm believers of conservative methods, this bakery is dedicated to tradition. A lovely selection of bread and pastries are available and all are reassuringly crafted by hand with love. As well as delicious sourdough and rye bread, the pastry selection almost looks too good to eat – from the daintily-crafted éclairs to the pastel-coloured layer cakes. There are three shops to choose from in Vienna; one of which is a pâtisserie bistro.
2. Simply Raw Bakery
Bakery, Austrian
Veganism is becoming increasingly popular around the world and Simply Raw Bakery is keeping up with the trend. Considering all its products are devoid of all the components that are ordinarily essential elements in baked goods (eggs, milk and butter), it has a pleasingly wide selection of cakes. Kitsch and cute in its decor, it feels like a mixture between old and new.
3. Gragger & Cie wood stove baker
Bakery, Austrian
Austrian Baker Helmut Gragger pours his heart and soul into his baking. His wood stove is in the center of the bakery, giving customers the opportunity to watch him knead and throw flour while browsing loaves. Inside a late-Baroque style house, this bakery transports you back in time – it’s a cosy and comfortable atmosphere with a beautiful and homely aroma.
5. Cafe Demel
Bakery, Cafe, Austrian
Located around the corner from the Habsburg Palace, the sweet treats at Cafe Demel were once enjoyed by the Empress Sissi. This elegant and beautifully decorated shop sells many of Vienna’s quintessential and dreamy specialties, including the Austrian speciality, kaiserschmarrn, which comes drenched in a plum stew, as well as lots of fresh sandwiches and pastries. The dreamy chocolate cake, sachertorte, is highly recommended.
6. Hazar Konditorei & Bäckerei
Bakery, Turkish
Vienna has a large and thriving Turkish community and with that comes many glorious bakeries where you can sample honey-smothered, pistachio-speckled baklava and circles of generously-sized soft bread. Filled with trays of fresh Turkish desserts, Hazar Konditorei & Bäckerei in the 20th district is a great one to try.
