The coffee trade has a long tradition in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 1887, merchants founded the “Coffee Exchange”, which was the first futures market in Hamburg and soon gained international importance.
At that time, the people of Vienna were already looking back on some 200 years of coffeehouse tradition. The typical Viennese coffeehouse with its chandeliers, magnificent décor and fabric wallpaper became established in early 1800. At the time of the foundation of the “Coffee Exchange” in Hamburg, Vienna already boasted about 600 coffeehouses. To this day, the Viennese coffeehouse has remained a blend of cosy retreat and social meeting place.
The locals and the visitors to Hamburg have been able to enjoy this very special flair at the WIENER KAFFEE café and restaurant at the ARCOTEL Rubin since 2007. The various speciality coffees are prepared from coffee beans from the Viennese roaster Julius Meinl. This brand was created 145 years ago by Julius Meinl I. in Vienna. It still stands for top-quality beans and today is exported into all corners of the world.
Apart from the Viennese speciality coffees such as the Melange (a milky coffee) or Kaffee Verkehrt (coffee with lots of foamy milk) the typical sweet dishes and desserts are not to be missed. Prepared from traditional recipes by hand, the Linzertorte, Esterhazytorte and Sachertorte cakes from our in-house patisserie are a delight to our guests.
What would a Viennese coffee be without these three classics of Austrian sweet cuisine? This is just as unthinkable as Hamburg without the fish market or the Reeperbahn. That’s why you will always find freshly prepared Palatschinken (pancakes), apple strudel and Kaiserschmarrn (chunky pancake pieces) at the WIENER KAFFEE café & restaurant.
In Vienna, coffee is not just a drink. It’s a lifestyle.
