Café Schopenhauer — Restaurant in Vienna

This was very disappointing, the place looked good from the reviews and is very close to where I am staying but the service was terrible. We asked the waiter if we could sit and since the first moment his attitude was off, he said we could sit if there were tables available, we were gonna sit and he yelled at us that someone else was first. I mean then maybe pay more attention to your costumers waiting? how were we supposed to know? We sat down and the other young waiter was nice. One of our dishes never came, the waiter never came to check the tables on our side, when we called him to ask again for the dish he acted rude and careless again. He acted surprised there was a dish missing, even though he apologized, service was very disappointing. We waved several times to pay, we just stood up and went to pay in the cashier. Never coming back, it’s sad cause it’s a cool place and the food is good! I was thinking having breakfast with my family there a few days in this trip but I will not. We felt discriminated cause of our nationality, all the other costumers got a great service, he even chatted with them.

PS we thought it was a croissant with jam and butter, it was a plain white bread.

Hope you can sort this out...

Café Schopenhauer is an Old Vienna, historic L-shaped coffeehouse. Beautiful, spacious and quiet, this one is tucked away outside the city center. The interior has been well preserved. Coffee is excellent. Sweets and savory food are decent. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast menu reads like a philosophy teacher’s bookshelf: from Sigmund Freud over Hegel and Simon de Beauvoir to a Rosa Luxemburg breakfast. They are even patrons playing card games on vintage green card tables. If you’re not in the neighborhood but looking for somewhere on the quiet side, Café Schopenhauer is well worth the detour! Even if you just want to take a look at the authentic interior, it’s well...

We stopped here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. What a surprising gem! Best black tea I've had in Wien in a month. Service was friendly and professional. Recently renovated in an Alt Bau cafe, but still has that old Wien "cafe culture" vibe. Comfy chairs and benches with heavy tables that the waiters can help you get into. The menu items are themed around famous writers and philosophers. The soft boiled egg was cooked perfectly, and the homemade "house marmalade" was a delicious apricot spread. The special twist here is the wonderful collection of books and cards for sale. There is also a piano to one side. I wonder if it gets played? I will...
