Sigmund Freud's regular coffeehouse and one of Vienna's most storied Kaffeehäuser — the Café Landtmann faces the Burgtheater on the Ringstrasse and has been serving melange, Einspänner (espresso with whipped cream), and Apfelstrudel since 1873. The newspaper racks, the elderly Viennese regulars, and the unhurried service are all exactly as they should be. The clearest expression of Vienna's coffeehouse culture as a way of life.
