Tradition Sacher Torte was delicious as expected. We enjoyed also the warm apple strudel w/vanilla sauce. Services were amiable, the cafe itself was real beautiful. We had wonderful coffee time here (worth visit, yum!!)
Elegant cafe. Ground-floor is nice, but first floor is fancy. First floor you seem to get a table if you have a reservation.
We tried to original Sacher chocolate cake and the Afpel strudel. Both were tasty, the chocolate cake wasn't extremely heavy which was a good surprise.
The service was quick and extremely friendly, not pushy at all, but just efficient and friendly.
For me, Sacher Torte was best here (though I can only compare it to that of Demel’s). I was very pleased with how the Sacher torte tasted. The whole ambience was top notch. I just thought it was a bit “stiff” if you know what I mean. Also, Einspanner and melange (not just in Sacher Cafe but in Vienna in general) were not to my taste at all, but they had to be tried. I wish I could eat that cake again, though!
We visited with our dog to enjoy a slice of the traditional Sacher Torte, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. We received a warm welcome and were given a perfect table where our dog could comfortably relax. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, and even brought a bowl of water for our dog, which made us all feel very welcome.
The Sacher Torte was excellent, and the homemade lemonade was the perfect refreshment on a hot summer day.
I noticed that some reviews mention the prices being high, but in my opinion you’re paying for much more than just the cake. You’re also paying for the history, outstanding service, and the unique atmosphere. It was absolutely worth the visit.
The birthplace of the Sacher cake.
Had luck when visiting, there was no line.
Although when we left there was a line, but with more efficient work, that could have been resolved.
Place was extremely touristy. And that did reflect on the pasteries.
But very much worth the visit for any foodies.
