Stopping for Coffee
At Vienna's Naschmarkt


Baker's Coffee
Some of the world's finest coffee
brewed at the Naschmarkt stand
of a Viennese bakery
Stroeck Bakery<
A Viennese Croissant
This one has a nut filling -
you did not expect that the Viennese
would stop at plain croissants -
exporting that recipe successfully to Paris! -
did you?


Eye Candy
I suppose you know that
the "Nasch" in Naschmarkt comes from "nosh" -
like noshing to your heart's content.
Well, that's true, but it is
also a visual feast


Quince Vinegar
Quince and vinegar,
who'd have thunk? ;-)
Organic wild blueberry vinegar?
No problem, available too!
Every imaginable flavour seems
possible here at Gegenbauer's -
they may well produce the world's
largest variety of choice vinegars,
from all I know


I have to tear myself away, for now.
I hope you enjoyed the little break,
a wonderful day to all of you!

  2. Ilva,
    it is, indeed!
    Gegenbauer alone would be worth a visit not only to Naschmarkt, but to Vienna, especially for food lovers like you.

  11. Mmmmm, Merisi, I do like the look of that Viennese croissant! And am so amused by the sight of blankets provided for those wishing for a table outside mid-November in Vienna.

    Nothing like that in New York around here. However, I am watching the renovations going on in a little space in my neighborhood that served as a bookshop in the film "You've Got Mail." Apparently, it is to be a coffee cafe.

    When sampling is possible, I will take my camera and give a report.
