Viennese coffee houses

There are countless cafés in Vienna that celebrate coffee and cakes. That coffee came to the Vienna after the siege of the Turks in 1683 is a fairy tale. The first coffee house in Vienna was opened in 1685, which is very close to the time of the Turkish siege. However, the coffee had already come to Europe by sea. There were coffee houses in Venice, London, Paris, Bremen and other cities. Therefore, the French word "café" was adopted in the German language. In Vienna there were many coffee houses that tried to outdo each other. This led to high quality and established Vienna's reputation as a city of famous cafes and cakes.
