• Kipferl

     
  • The cakes alone are worth a trip to London’s only Austrian café. The selection changes, but usually includes sachertorte, linzer torte, baked cheesecake and deliciously moist apple strudel; have a slice with one of the excellent coffees (melange is the one with hot milk). If your tastes are more savoury, then the choice gets even wider. Daily-changing soups and salads, and hot sausages such as wiener and käsekrainer (like many other foodstuffs here, imported from Austria) sit alongside a range of super-tasty open sandwiches. Kipferl also sells deli items (lots of chocolates, pickles and preserves), Austrian wines and beers, and a selection of breads. Food aside, the main reason we like this place so much is the attitude of the staff – always welcoming – and the sweet touches, such as a cookie or chocolate with every coffee, even takeaway. As for the decor, they’ve made the most of a small, boxy modern space, with every inch crammed with comestibles (on shelves or in the big cold cabinet), tables and chairs.

    The Kasekrainer is a must and the coffee to die for!
