It took us forever to find this place. I still have the photograph outside the door to Cafe Tomaselli, smiling with relief. I had heard so much about the history of the place and was dying to see it. It did not disappoint in that respect, but I did find it a little darker and larger than I had anticipated.... More

On a lovely square, the famous Cafe Tomaselli offers light food & drinks in a fabulous location for people watching. It's the place to recover from your wandering all over the Baroque city. The desserts are pricey and delicious. Salzburg is expensive.

They have the best apple strudel in town! friendly servants, good taste of cake. The Price is bit pricy, but it maybe the oldest coffee house in Salzburg.

Traditional visit location in Salzburg, this is all about coffee and cake, don't really expect anything else. But...the coffee and cake is great and reasonably priced for where and what it is.

There are people who just want to have "coffee". They are recognized to sit in an Austrian coffee house and ordering "Coffee". And there are people who want to choose from a variety of coffees, teas, hot chocolates, and who carefully choose which combination of coffee, milk, maybe alcohol, cream, foam, etc. they want. And who expect the glass of... More

Often a busy place in the summer. An opportunity to rest from seeing the sites and sample Austrian fare. Incredible desserts! Need I say more?

Excellent breakfast on the top terrace with a view to all the action below. Go early and you don't need a reservation. Recommended!

Despite being in the tourist part of the old town this is very much a place used by locals with a good number of regulars judging by the banter between staff and diners. We sat in the sun outside where I had a superb omelette and my wife had a good fresh croissant plus we dad tea and coffee. The... More

Oldest Café in Austria and maybe Western Europe and maybe the world!!!!!! As used by the man himself. Very busy but just love the ambiance and the history. Nice cakes and drinks. Beautiful marquetry panels on the walls. Do not be surprised if there are no tables available. If there are two of you don't be surprised if you get... More
