10 Best Cakes in Vienna

CupCakes Wien brings a relaxed, homemade feel to Vienna’s Josefstadt, with a broad choice of cupcakes at Albertgasse 17. The cakes are soft, fresh and pleasantly balanced rather than overwhelmingly sweet, making them appealing to both children and adults.

Its cozy setting suits a quick treat or a short summer pause, while the charming packaging adds a thoughtful finishing touch for takeaways and small celebrations.

Imperial Torte Boutique on Kärntner Ring presents the Imperial Torte, described as Vienna’s first square cake, in a central pastry-shop setting. The compact format is designed for an elegant sweet gift or souvenir, with sales, shipping and takeaway options built into the offer.

It stays open late, from 7 am to 11 pm every day.

Argjendi Bäckerei on Thaliastraße is a fresh bakery with a broad everyday range: burek, breads, croissants, sandwiches and muffins are made in-house. Burek is the standout choice for a savoury pastry stop, while the early opening suits breakfast and takeaway before a day around Vienna.

It opens from 6 am on weekdays and from 7 am at weekends.

Bäckerei Ohel on Lilienbrunngasse is a kosher bakery with fresh cakes, bread, rolls, sandwiches and breakfast staples including yogurt and milk. The range makes it practical for stocking up beyond dessert, while multilingual service helps visitors navigate the counter.

It opens from 7 am on weekdays, closes early on Friday, and remains closed on Saturday.

MORIZ - Zuckerbäckerei & Manufaktur on Mariahilfer Straße offers pastries, coffee and a summer terrace, with vegan chocolate ice cream adding a useful option for plant-based dessert seekers.

The selection is broad enough for a pastry break or a leisurely drink, while the relatively calm setting suits an unhurried visit. Opening is limited to Friday through Sunday.

Bäckerei ARTISAN at Kardinal-Nagl-Platz is a bakery with a Balkan-inspired savoury offer, particularly known for burek and traditional pita. Hot foods are the stronger choice here, while the pastry range is less consistent in texture.

Long opening hours make it practical for an early breakfast, late takeaway or a quick savoury meal.

Restaurant Aca Balkan Chefkoch/PatisserieJulis on Schönbrunner Straße combines a pastry shop with Balkan restaurant service, making it suitable for breakfast, coffee and cakes rather than dessert alone. The family-run identity and long-standing tradition add character to the offer.

Opening is generally 10 am–8 pm, with Monday and Tuesday closed and Sunday listed as open all day.

Landtmann's feine Patisserie on Oppolzergasse is a bakery centred on refined desserts, with an atmospheric setting and a notably varied sweet selection. It is better suited to cake and dessert than to a substantial Turkish-style breakfast, making it a natural choice for an afternoon indulgence or elegant pastry stop in central Vienna.

Opening hours are not listed.

La Bes Bäckerei & Konditorei on Landstraßer Hauptstraße is a practical bakery for early breakfast, pastries and cappuccino, with an especially broad daily opening window. The offer suits a quick morning stop or takeaway on the way through the 3rd district.

Weekdays run from 6 am to 9 pm, while weekend service starts at 7 am.

Jenny Cake Artist Vienna creates celebration cakes from its address on Martinstraße, with the strongest emphasis on appearance, flavour and repeat ordering. The cakes are suited to occasions where a polished finish matters as much as the taste, and the service is available through its Instagram presence.

Opening hours are not listed, so this is best treated as an order-led cake studio rather than a drop-in shop.
