Café Jelinek
The Café Jelinek located in the 6th Viennese district Mariahilf in the Otto-Bauer-Gasse and since 2013 part of the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage "Viennese coffee". It takes its name from a Jewish coffee maker family who opened the café in 1910.
history
From 1988 to 2003 the café was run by the Knapp couple. Among other things, these were known to wear pharmacist coats in the café. It was then taken over by the Haas and Schiffner couples, who run the Wiener Beisl across the street. Café Jelinek is one of the few Viennese coffee houses that still has the original furnishings. The originally preserved herringbone parquet, the massive marble tables, the listed wrought-iron wood-burning stove from the American-Heating brand and the green-covered seating bear witness to the long history of the house. Many guests can see autograph photos on the walls of the café, which is often called “little Hawelka ”.
