Café König
A century-old café opened in 1889, famous for its Black Forest cherry cake and handmade chocolates.
This long-established café, opened in 1889 on Lichtentaler Strasse, is said to have hosted Tolstoy and Liszt, and is now run by the Black Forest confectioner Gmeiner. The signature Black Forest cherry cake is layered with rich chocolate mousse, and it has been recommended in Der Feinschmecker. Also on offer are handmade filled chocolates and a range of cakes and desserts. With over a thousand Tripadvisor reviews, the food is well regarded, though service can be slow at peak times. Reservations are not accepted at weekends and public holidays after 11:30, and afternoon tea often involves queueing. Both the Casino and Lichtentaler Allee are only a few minutes' walk away.
Opening hours
Café: Monday to Saturday, 08:30–18:30; Sunday, 09:30–18:30
