What differentiates some cakes from others? There would probably be many ways and words to define industry standards, set up criteria and analyse accordingly - the Oberlaa however simply choses to let its work speak for itself. With a commitment to freshness and a superbly trained staff (for both bakery and service), customers are in for a treat and looking at the wide range of delicious cakes, chocolates, and biscuits will make anybody's stay at one of this confectioner's branches a pleasant experience. (Note: the Oberlaa also makes individualised cakes on demand, for e.g. birthdays, holidays, weddings)

Vienna is for many the birth place of coffee houses and although finding one that sets itself above the rest may seem difficult at first, the Sperl manages to tick all the boxes. Whilst fulfilling established criteria such as having a wide range of coffee drinks, stacks of newspapers and magazines, and freshly made pastries on offer, it also manages to convince with friendly service, a genuinely nice atmosphere, and last but not least - a list of awards that would make Hollywood blush. (Note: there are 3 carom billard tables on site!)

The outside of this Middle Eastern restaurant is casual but unassuming....the food on the other hand, is undeniably great. Within short after its opening a few years back, the Sababa has become one of the most popular kebap places in town and anybody trying their crispy falafel balls, homemade chips (fries), and grilled meat either on a mixed plate or inside a pita bread with some fresh salad, will know why. Different sauces - from mild to worryingly hot - will top it all off. (Note: menu is bi-lingual - German and English)
