Kleines Café Vienna

Tiny treasure

Sabrina from Vienna

About me With my first long-term abroad experience in Athens, along with which came island-hopping, first night-train trips, rooftop partying and learning how to get a handle on everyday life in a foreign city, the world opened up for me. Internationally rooted life got me hooked and I’ve kept exploring and sharing adventures in good company from all over ever since. It was also at the time ...
""Kleines Café" in Vienna has been welcoming all since the '70s with its private but lively atmosphere. It's true: great things come in small sizes!"

Kleines Café is located right in the beating heart of Vienna and is well-known among us Kaffeehaus lovers. I came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday, rather by accident when randomly searching for an adequate spot to have a glass of wine and share some talks and laughter. Kleines Café turned out to fulfill all our wishes.

You'll find the spot in the oh-so adorable stone-cobbled Franziskanerplatz next to a gurgling fountain. As the name suggests, Kleines Café is modestly sized. People gather beneath the old ceiling's arcs on comfy leather benches placed on both sides of the tunnel-shaped parlor. City strollers, students and the occasionally dropping by member of the local artistic scene come here to enjoy their portion of caffeine, a frinedly chat, or a calm read with one of the town's papers in hand.

Get here, settle back and submerge in urban coziness. Great things often come in small sizes!

Internationally rooted life got me hooked and I’ve kept exploring and sharing adventures in good company from all over ever since. It was also at the time when – bam! – I got to know Spotted by Locals and decided to contribute to the project. You could say I live a dual-streamed life, tinted by a love for both nature and culture. Having bee...

The Chapel

Speakeasy in "Rudolfscrime"
