Cafe Maldaner

Adding 2nd star after return visit (and admonishmment from the lady). It is certainly true that C.M. deserves two stars simply on the merits of having been in biz for 150 years and being, truly, a place where you can go back in time. That being said my tough comments on the food remain valid (see old review below)
*******************************
Viennese style cafe, boring coffee, subpar food, cakes looked OK.

Went for breakfast. This cafe looks indeed like an old school Vienna coffee house. Unfortunately all the coffee comes out of an automatic coffee machine (at least it’s from WMF!), but coffee def a huge let down. Breakfast unimpressive. Brötchen looked like they came from a factory. Cold cuts and cheese also looked like supermarket wares. Scrambled eggs with speck and chives were salty as heck.

I will say the cakes in the display case looked delicious. But we didn’t eat any cakes and I don’t bother returning to cafes that serve bad coffee from a robot.

No need to go back unless your Grandma insists.

On edit: I just read the German reviews. Rather shocking that people give this place five stars. Again, this is a place with antique coffee bins on display for show. The actual coffee comes out of a gas station style coffee automat. Simply inexcusable but I guess there’s a certain crowd that can always be impressed by the decor.
