Too Much Coffee

Hi all,
Planning a trip to Vienna in mid Feb and am looking for inside info' on the best spots to head to for my daily kick(s). Any comments very much appreciated...

Cheers
Gary

Hi Gary!

I built up the Mocca Club, a speciality Coffee Shop in Vienna with more then 50 single origins.
But due to my divorce and a new great job as a Barista Trainer I left the place to my ex. So they have still very good coffee, but not 50 anymore, but I wouldn't put my neck on the line for the staff. There are no good Baristas working there anymore, they don't care about the place so much.... *sigh*
But the coffee made by a dear friend of mine is stil so good, that you wil enjoy it. The place has a colonial style interior, comfy leather sofas..

MOCCA CLUB
Linke Wienzeile 4
1060 Vienna

Opened every day, Sunday Sweet Brunch, Cocktailbar as well, and on the opposite side you have a very good Market place, the Naschmarkt. Very famous.
If you wanna have the best fish - go 120m in the same direction as the cars are driving, and on the Market you'll find the Fish Restaurant "Nautilus"

You should see an old Viennese Coffee House, but dont expect much about the coffee.

Café Central (Beautiful Palais....)
Café Schwarzenberg (Very nice)
Café Hotel Imperial (very good Imperial cake)
Hotel Sacher (Cofee + original Sacher cake)

And you have to see the original Hawelka !!!!!!

Everything close or in downtown. Vienna is small, you can do all without a car.
Take a tram on the Ringstrasse and drive one round first, you'll get a good impression of all before you "digg in"

Have fun!

Hi Joey,
Reading the other thread, it sounds like you did a great job with Mocca Club, it's a real shame that things turned out the way they did. You obviously have a real passion for coffee and aside from the personal issues, running a successful operation is hard work and the right support is essential...
Anyway, it looks like your hard work paid off in the end

I'll be sure to take your advice an plan my visit well

Thanks for the info' Joey and I sincerely hope you enjoy your adventures at the School & beyond!

Cheers

Gary

Thanks. How long will you stay and when exactly will ou be there?
I am not always in Vienna in February, and the other time I have a lot of classes, even in english...
So if I have time I can invite you to visit either the academy, the coffe museum or a good coffee house. Just need to know when.

You and your companion or family, of course.

Hi Joey,
If all goes to plan, we should be in Vienna by Sunday 10th Feb' and leave either 14th or 15th. We have yet to confirm everything though...

It would be great to meet up if you have the time


Gary

Going to Vienna today. Hope to have an espresso at the Mocca Club!

Got there. Luckily my wife wanted tho to the Naschmarkt so just happened to be at the Mocca Club. Joey, this place has a fantastic atmosphere! I congratulate you for creating it. I hope you will create even more value in your new post.

The coffee was enjoyable. I had a ristretto and tasted my wife's espresso as well.

Thanks. I am sorry that the coffee quality is not as it should be anymore... but at least you had a nice time. Sorry that we didn't meet - I was just on the move to Hamburg for a training session. Did you 2 like Vienna?
Joey

Yes, Joey, we had a great time. I love this city! Always have a good time there. And the great Harrar I bought at Mocca Club reminds me of the nice trip every morning. Unfortunately I don't have much left.

I'm going to Vienna tomorrow and I hope I'll get the chance to visit Mocca Club. I'm in Vienna to work, but I'm staying at the SAS hotel at Parkring 16, which should be quite close to Mocca Club.

I hope they didn't ruin the coffee totally yet.

Check out the Cafe del Doge! Take a look at this thread:

Are you still in Vienna? Read that just now. Well, they have the good coffee in the Mocca Club again, but they are not perfect in foaming the milk yet, But after my vacation they'll get some more training from me

Hope you like Vienna, weather is bad though. Too cold. Had no fall. Right after sunmmer the wonter came into town last week. Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

You should walk over the Naschmarkt. It's an interesting place, right infront of the Mocca Club (which has to be renamed into Mocca Lounge, as my stupid exhusband wanted to charge too much money for the logo....)

Have fun!

Joey

He is in VIENNA - not Venice

Does that mean it's your place again? *confused*
edit: oh, just noticed the thread in the members clubroom

Hallo Lukas!
How are you? (könnte ja deutsch schreiben, wil aber die anderen nicht vor den Kopf stoßen )
I always say when you do good things, good things come back to you. And that's what happens in my life right now. One of the things is - the MC stays alive but I don't have the responsibility for the staff - but my idea lives on

What are you doing right now? And what is in the avatar? Can't imagine something with coffee - maybe paper filters???

Nice to read from you!
cheers
Joey
