Vienna
Vienna offers more than traditional chocolate shops, from handmade bars and pralines in Sechshauser Straße to elegant miniature gifts on the Graben. You can also find vegan pastries in Servitenviertel, seasonal ice cream near Alser Straße and made-to-order waffles around Babenbergerstraße.
Before setting out, check opening times and confirm whether tastings, factory tours or custom boxes are available that day.
The selection gives weight to clearly described chocolate and dessert specialities, useful locations, practical availability and the type of visit each place suits, whether you want a gift, a tasting, a café break or a plant-based pastry. Some eligible businesses may purchase enhanced visibility, which can influence their placement.

#1
Schoko Michi combines a chocolate shop with a factory outlet at Sechshauser Straße. Its handmade Vienna range includes chocolate bars, chocolate sticks, pralines, nougat Wiener Schichten, baking ingredients and cake decoration.
Factory tours are also offered, but the shop and tour may not run simultaneously because the business is managed by one person, so arranging the timing is essential.
#2
Confiserie Eibensteiner is a charming little sweet shop on Alser Straße, combining chocolate, confiserie and seasonal ice cream. The selection leans toward distinctive products that are less typical of a supermarket, while friendly guidance makes choosing easier.
Vegan ice-cream options are available, giving mixed groups a useful reason to include this stop in a dessert-focused Vienna walk.
#3
Hand-finished praline and candy miniatures
Distinctive Naschkasterln inspired by Viennese design
Altmann & Kühne on Graben specialises in hand-finished praline and candy miniatures, presented in distinctive Naschkasterln inspired by Viennese design. The small luxury pieces are made for elegant gifting, with collections available for different occasions.
The shop’s refined presentation is part of the appeal, while online shopping provides an alternative when a particular bar or box is not available in store.
#4
A wide range that includes cacao beans
Xocolat Mariahilf is a compact chocolate shop where patient, knowledgeable assistance makes it easy to build a personalised tasting selection. Visitors can fill boxes with pralines, choose a wooden presentation box and explore a wide range that includes cacao beans.
The shop can become crowded, but its attentive service suits anyone who wants guidance rather than a quick, standardised purchase.
#5
BILLA at Herrnhuterhaus is a substantial city-centre supermarket spread over three floors, useful for groceries as well as browsing Vienna’s everyday food selection. The range includes a bakery, wine bar, fresh fish, meat, herbs and vegetables, giving it more breadth than a quick convenience stop.
Its Neuer Markt location and Sunday opening make it practical for visitors stocking up near the historic centre.
#6
Grand Cru is a gourmet grocery store on Kaiserstraße with a curated range of artisan spirits, including gin, whisky and schnapps, alongside craft beer, tea, spices and other speciality bites. Its knowledgeable staff are well placed to explain the differences within the drinks selection, making it more suitable for considered browsing than a routine grocery run.
Chocolate is an occasional accompaniment rather than the central focus.
#7
24/7 AUTOMATEN STORE offers self-service grocery shopping beside Vienna Central Station, with round-the-clock access and a range that varies by availability. The format is designed for quick purchases of drinks and everyday provisions, using cashless or cash payment.
Its Südtiroler Platz location is especially useful for late arrivals, early departures or an urgent snack when conventional shops are closed.
#8
Confiserie zur Lerche is an old-school confectionery shop on Lerchenfelder Straße, with a charming selection for gifts, personal treats and nostalgic sweets. Licorice is one of its more distinctive strengths, while seasonal ranges include lemon-themed confectionery, gingerbread and fruit jellies.
Warm, considerate assistance makes the shop particularly appealing when choosing a present rather than simply grabbing a standard chocolate bar.
#9
Pischinger Pop-up-Store on Graben is a lively central stop for sweets, treats and chocolate creations, with a selection that works well for an impulse purchase or a small gift. The friendly team can help with choosing, while the brand’s wider offer includes an online shop, chocolate museum and chocolate club.
Its extended evening and Sunday hours suit busy sightseeing schedules.
#10
Manner Shop Wien Oper is a central Vienna grocery store at Kärntner Str. 53/55, focused on the brand’s familiar sweet treats. The selection includes classic Neapolitan wafers, other Manner favourites and seasonal items, with festive chocolate ranges appearing around occasions such as Easter.
Open daily from 10am to 8pm, it works well for picking up distinctive Austrian confectionery in the city centre.

Map and areas
Use the map to match a chocolate stop with the rest of your day. The central addresses around Graben, Schauflergasse and Babenbergerstraße work well between landmarks, while Mariahilfer Straße, Alser Straße and Servitengasse help if you are already exploring those neighbourhoods.
Check the distance between stops before planning a tasting route, especially when carrying gifts or travelling with children.
Schoko Michi on Sechshauser Straße focuses on handmade Vienna chocolates, including bars, sticks, pralines and nougat specialities. It also carries baking ingredients and cake-decoration products.
If you want to combine shopping with a factory tour, confirm the available time before travelling.
Altmann & Kühne on the Graben is suited to refined gifts, with hand-finished praline and candy miniatures arranged in distinctive Viennese boxes. The compact collections work well for occasions and souvenirs.
Online ordering may also help when you need a gift outside your sightseeing route.
Chez Fritz in Servitenviertel is a useful choice for vegan pastries, croissants and contemporary pâtisserie. Confiserie Eibensteiner also offers vegan ice-cream options alongside confectionery.
Menus can change seasonally, so check the current selection if dietary suitability is essential.
Café Royal near the Hofburg offers a convenient pause with decorative hot chocolate and traditional desserts. Crêpe & Waffle Paradise on Babenbergerstraße is another central option for waffles, crêpes, chocolate desserts and coffee.
Both suit a casual break rather than a specialist chocolate-shopping trip.
Xocolat Mariahilf can help visitors assemble a personal praline selection, with the option of choosing a wooden presentation box. Ask for assistance if you want to compare flavours or create a gift assortment.
The compact shop may become busy, so allow time for a considered choice.
