Café Greindl

Cafe Greindl brings genuine Viennese coffee-house flair to Passau's old town, the kind you might otherwise expect downstream in the Danube metropolis itself. The moment you step inside, the snug atmosphere envelops you, with marble tables, upholstered benches, soft lighting and the quiet clink of spoons on saucers. It is a place where time seems to pass more slowly and where lingering is expressly encouraged.

The menu lists the classics of coffee-house culture: fine pastries, homemade cakes, crispy apple strudel, cream slices and seasonal bakes, alongside carefully prepared coffee specialities from the Viennese melange and the Einspaenner to the cappuccino. If you wish, you can enjoy one of the newspapers left out for guests or retreat into one of the quiet corners. The service is friendly, attentive and unhurried, the price level pleasantly moderate.

The central old-town location makes Cafe Greindl an ideal stop on a tour through the city of three rivers, be it as a relaxed break between the cathedral and the Danube, a meeting point for a cosy conversation or a retreat on a rainy afternoon. A lovingly run house that upholds the tradition of the refined coffee house with devotion and offers guests of all generations a little piece of comfort.
