Akrap Espressobar — Restaurant in Vienna

The coffee is ok if you’re just having it straight. For those who like their coffee with milk/milk alternatives, it’s not great. (So why a 5-star rating? ) A lovely flourish is that they serve every coffee order on a silver-plated tray with a decent glass of water and sugar on the side. Similar (modern) style cafe competitors no longer do this (you gotta elbow your way in the cafe, ask for water or somehow find a clean glass so that you might have a sip of water). Neither indoor nor outdoor seating are all that comfortable but it is still a pleasant spot even with the occasional car going by. There are two fab aspects about this place. The first is its surprisingly quite and relaxing situation on a mainly residential street that is intersected by two very busy major streets (Gumpendorferstrasse and Mariahilferstrasse). The second, and best aspect, is that it is service-oriented: accommodating, attentive and courteous.

Lovely BONUS for the mummies/daddies/carers out there: the only cafe in the inner Gürtel that brandishes a ‘babycinno’ on its published menu and it is gratis.

They don’t expect it at all but you feel good doing it because “them’s are nice folk!” and seem to really care about...

At the time we went in there were barely any customers making it the only empty shop in the area I wonder why? The owners comments also stated we should have complained in the store, however his response to reviews and arrogant demeanor will explain exactly why we did...

The place looks nice, I can imagine thay make very good espresso, sadly, they don't have oat milk, only soy milk (of the non-diery departement of course). We had Latte and flat white so the taste of the coffee was damaged somewhat. Also they don't take card payment, which is a complication for us tourists. The barista was very nice and understanding, that is a plus for sure. I'm not sure how to rank this place, but because of him, it would be rude to give the lesser option I'm...
