Café Diglas
In a Viennese Coffee House


Café Diglas
In Charles Baudelaire's words,
"there all is beauty and symmetry,
pleasure and calm and luxury"


Hungry anyone?
Viennese coffee houses started serving meals
after the price of coffee beans rose sharply
during Napoleon's 1808 Continental Blockade of England


Sweet Temptation
Who could resist Baked Apple Tiramisu,
the Diglas take of the Italian dessert
composed of layers of sponge cake,
served the Viennese way?

  1. Such a welcome and so thoughtful - the glowing veneers, the ivory light through pleated shades, the glazed vestibule and red banquettes. You've gathered a lot of charm into a single frame there, Merisi.

  5. Wonderfully bright pictures, capturing the captivating Diglas air. I was there just a week ago, and the best Kase Omlette in the city.
