District Coffee — Restaurant in Vienna

We were there on a Saturday and really surprised about what we found. The place and ambience is nothing like the professional pictures put online by the owner, which I would describe as outright misleading. To be clear, this is actually the lobby of a big accommodation complex, with people constantly hushing in and out. It feels more like a train station than a café. To be more, we were told that the place is actually primarily thought of as a hangout for residents in the complex. When they are open (which the day we went there they were not because the waiter called in sick - do they have only one?), they are happy to also serve outside customers, but that is not this place's primary purpose. On top of it all, the service staff at the front desk were very rude - almost hostile - in explaining this to us. Overall, I would not consider this place open to the public and - in this sense - also think it should not be listed in Google Maps at all. Go there at your own risk, but do not say you have not been warned (you can also check out the other low-rated reviews).

P.S.: In reaction to the owner's answer below, let me point out that (s)he is not disputing that this is a residential lobby and the fact that residents constantly move in and out of the building as at a train station. Hence, it is not listed correctly on Google Maps and should not pose as a real café. What if every hotel/hostel lobby was listed on Google Maps as a café!? This place is perfectly fine as a lobby and, if I lived in that building, I can totally see how I would be thrilled about the opportunity to have a quick coffee (I guess this is also where the many raving reviews come from). But just look at the updates (see screenshot) and you'll see that their target group are clearly their residents. That is perfectly fine! As a visitor who wants coffee in a nice café, this place is just about the worst choices you could...

Our daughter lives in District building 3, and we have been here for 10 days to see her wonderful new life in Vienna ❤️….SUCH a beautiful city!!! We love the District Coffee area in the “EG” of the building…. Such a great, cheery, bright & welcoming feel! The food (coffee & croissants) are a wonderful, light start before attacking the day😉👍.
