Tea at Café Museum
Once upon a Time and now again


Tea at the Museum
Café Museum is open once again,
after yet one more renovation

or better yet,
restoration of the 1930s renovation,
designed back then by Josef Zotti,
a student of Josef Hoffmann

It is a bright and spacious
place to relax, read the papers,
meet friends or business partners
or get some work or study done.

Yes, Viennese coffee houses
have arrived in the brave new world
of free internet and electric sockets!

Soft-boiled eggs in the glass
and tea or coffee Melange
and so much more, all still there,
to sustain you all day long
into the night!

In 2010, Café Museum was restored
to its 1930s splendour
It is now a no smoking coffee house!
