Vienna is littered with traditional coffee houses that have inspired a culture and shaped the city's landscape. While this heritage still thrives, a surge of third-wave coffee shops are tempting locals away from convention. We've picked out the best of both.

Wieden
Ash concrete floors, exposed-brick walls and chrome piping sums up this café in edgy Weiden. Slurp soft, foamy cappuccinos and watch the swarms of man-bun-donned locals as they swan in and out. Just a short walk from the city's main attractions, an organic menu that changes daily makes it an attractive lunch spot too.

Innere Stadt
Kleines is reminiscent of Vienna's bohemian past, plotted on a charming cobbled square overlooking the baroque (read: wonderfully OTT) Franziskanerkirche. Considering "kleine" translates to "small", it's no surprise that the café itself follows suit. Worlds away from the well-trodden tourist tracks, this is a great spot for a coffee in the sunshine, with tables and chairs are dotted outside.

Mariahilf
Café Sperl drips with true Viennese coffeehouse charm - think luxurious banquettes, grand open spaces and, of course, an air of old-world opulence. With 34 kinds of brew to choose from, pair your blend of choice with a slice of creamy Sperl Torte and enjoy and your leisure in unhurried surroundings. On Sundays, live piano performances transport you back to the resplendent days of Jugendstil (art nouveau).
