Café Hawelka

Leopold and Josefine Hawelka opened it in 1939 on Dorotheergasse. After the war it became the meeting place of artists and writers such as Hundertwasser, Ernst Fuchs and H. C. Artmann, some of whom paid with paintings that still hang on the walls.

It's small and dim, with tables close together and walls covered in posters. Josefine Hawelka made the Buchteln, sweet yeast buns filled with plum jam, which still come out of the oven to her recipe.
