The Good Coffee Society is one of the latest additions to the city’s specialty coffee scene. The baristas behind the big, beautiful coffee machine are pros at the craft of coffee making and they’re so friendly, they’ll probably remember your name and coffee order after your first visit.
While it’s all about the coffee here, they do have a small cabinet of pastries.
They also have coffee machines and beans for sale, and keep an eye on their socials for the regular cupping events they have a habit of hosting.

When ordering your morning espresso at Coffee Junkie, you can choose what kind of blend you’d like your barista to work with, and don’t be afraid to ask for advice. they’re super friendly here.
While lockdown-November (yep, we’ve made it a thing now) is limiting one’s sit-in options, the people at Coffee Junkie won’t let any virus come between you and your completely (albeit arguably) healthy addiction.
It’s conveniently located near the Pilgramgasse U-Bahn station – just sayin’, in case you want to get off the subway to quickly grab a quick coffee and jump back on again.

Kaffemik, the small cafe hanging just off of Mahü, is also keeping its doors open during the lockdown for all of us who need its baristas like we need the oxygen we breath. You can grab one of the milky variations, like the Cappuccino and Flat White which are appropriately creamy, with that sweet and bitter coffee taste in the middle. However, we recommend going at it straight and pure with one of their roasts on the shelf. Mmmh. Delightful.

Your go-to cafe for coffee to go if you’re in the… 8th district
The two guys behind Kaffeemodul, Valentin and Boris, opened this coffee spitting shoebox of a place up in 2012 and have had a steady stream of caffeine-craving regulars popping in – and a few minutes later – popping out with coffee in hand, ever since.
When you stop by for your order, don’t be startled or pissed off if you need to wait outside for a bit – during these lousy times, the shop can only have one person in it at a time. Considering how incredibly good the coffee is, it is certainly worth the wait.

At Kaffein all of their coffees are home roasted and you can choose from a variety of state-of-the-art brewing techniques – from the good old Espresso machine, the slow-drip filter coffee, to the AeroPress – a penis-pump-like interpretation of the French press – and the Siphon Pot – which looks like some high-tech lab tool you could use to synthesize crystal meth. Exactly how we like our morning coffee!

If you attend the Technical University, you know this little Würstelstand-turned-coffee place well. It’s probably saved you a couple of times during those early morning lectures. Anyway, anybody who passes through Karlsplatz on a regular basis would know and love this place, if they know and love their coffee. This is another location that’s made for a lockdown and their takeaway service is carried out by seasoned veterans. You won’t have to wait long here at all.
