Let Them Eat Cake


Demel, Kohlmarkt 14

With no shortage of beautiful sights in Vienna, jaunts into the cafés were intertwined throughout sightseeing walks. Demel was my favorite, overflowing with old-world style and, of course, elaborate cakes. Aida had a 50s diner vibe, with a neon shop sign and pink-glazed petit fours. And to channel intellectual influences, I had a mélange {Viennese coffee with milk} and almond praline cake at Café Central, a spot once frequented by Sigmund Freud, Leon Trotsky, and Vladimir Lenin.
