Vienna might be famous for its traditional coffeehouse culture, but did you know it’s also home to an amazing selection of vegan cafés? Where you can find the best vegan cakes and pastries.

As someone who has been vegan for almost 20 years and lives in Vienna, I’ve visited every single all-vegan café in the city. Although I have to admit, I always opt for a matcha latte instead of a coffee.

This guide includes them all, so whether you’re a local looking for new spots or a visitor wanting to experience the city’s plant-based café scene, this list has all the best vegan cafés in Vienna!

1. Chez Fritz

A golden-brown, sugar-dusted cruffin sits on a vibrant pink plate with yellow detailing, placed on a navy napkin. Next to it is a glass of water and a matcha latte in a pastel cup with a wavy purple design, with a café scene in the softly blurred background.

A glass display case filled with elegant pastries, including fruit tarts, chocolate mousse domes, and lemon meringue pies. Above the case, glass cake stands with domed lids showcase cookies, macarons, and a chocolate-covered layered cake in a stylish bakery setting.

📍 Address: Servitengasse 13, 1090 Wien
⏰ Opening Time: Thu – Sat 10am – 6pm

Chez Fritz is a charming little vegan bakery, best known for its pastries, croissants, and macaroons. Most people just stop by to grab something to go, but they do have a few small tables inside if you want to sit down and enjoy your treat.

One thing to keep in mind is that they don’t have a toilet, and their opening hours are very limited, so make sure to check before heading there. If you can catch them while they’re open, though, it’s my favourite vegan café!

The pastries at Chez Fritz are super photogenic. If you’re looking for even more beautiful coffee houses, check out my guide to the most picturesque cafés in Vienna.

2. MORIZ – Zuckerbäckerei & Manufaktur

Display case filled with neatly arranged miniature pastries and cakes at a Viennese café, including layered nut slices, chocolate cakes, glazed dome desserts topped with strawberries, cheesecake squares, and berry crumble cake. The selection showcases a variety of individual desserts available for visitors looking to sample traditional Austrian sweets.

Glass bakery display filled with golden croissants, chocolate pastries, and fruit filled Danish pastries. Handwritten labels on the case include "Croissant", "Nuss Croissant", and "V-Ricotta".

📍 Address: Mariahilfer Str. 204, 1150 Wien
⏰ Opening Time: Fri – Sun 8am – 6pm

MORIZ is one of the best places in the city for vegan pastries. Everything is baked in house, from flaky croissants to beautifully made cakes and other pastries.

While they also serve a few vegan breakfast dishes and some mains, the pastries are definitely the highlight. If you’re only visiting one bakery in Vienna, this is one I’d put high on the list.

3. bistro deppat & bistro narrisch

A vibrant vegan brunch featuring crispy waffles with whipped cream and berry compote, a croissant sandwich with arugula and scrambled tofu, matcha latte, and open-faced bagels layered with cream cheese, tofu scramble, vegan bacon, and arugula.

Bistro Deppat: Leopoldsgasse 26, 1020 Wien Thu – Sun 9/10am – 2/3pm
Bistro Narrisch: Garnisongasse 18, 1090 Wien Tue – Fri 9am – 4pm

Bistro deppat is an amazing all vegan breakfast place in Vienna. While I highly recommend eating breakfast there, you can also just go for some coffee and cake, or pancakes, or waffles, they have so many delicious things.

If you’re having breakfast with more than two people, book a table online in advance, especially on weekends. Last time I went with two friends, we only just got a table after booking a few days ahead, there was only one time slot left for a group of three.

Bistro deppat has also expanded and recently opened a second location called bistro narrisch. If you can’t get a table at the original café, it’s worth checking availability there instead.

3. Das Lazy

A rustic wooden table with a slice of nut crumble tart on a ceramic plate, accompanied by a gold fork and a neatly folded napkin. A frothy matcha latte sits beside it, with a small flower arrangement and an Oatly carton adding to the cozy café ambiance.

📍 Address: Währinger Str. 133, 1180 Wien
⏰ Opening Time: Thu, Fri 10am – 5pm & Sat, Sun 9am – 4pm

Das Lazy is a small vegan café located outside the city center. It has a cozy vibe, offering a small selection of homemade cakes. There’s no guest toilet, so keep that in mind.

When I visited, I had a pear pie, which was really good, though a bit sweeter than I’d usually prefer.

What I love about Das Lazy is that it’s near Türkenschanzpark, one of my favorite parks in Vienna, though that might just be because it’s the closest to my apartment!

4. Bröselei

A slice of berry cheesecake with a crumbly crust and a glossy, dark fruit topping on a ceramic plate, alongside a creamy matcha latte in a double-walled glass. The background shows a cozy café counter with bottles, pastries, and a warm atmosphere.

📍 Address: Strudlhofgasse 1, 1090 Wien
⏰ Opening Time: Mon – Fri 11:30am – 3pm

Bröselei is a tiny, all-vegan café tucked away near Palais Lichtenstein, a hidden gems among Vienna’s castles. Everything they serve is vegan, gluten-free, and organic.

However, if you’re coming for sweets, don’t expect too much, when I visited, they only had one cake and one type of cookie available. The cake was decent, but not worth a special trip unless you need gluten-free options.

Where Bröselei seems to shine is its changing lunch menu, which appears to be popular with people working in the area.

5. Bäckerei Schwarzbrot

A cozy bakery counter made of wood with a glass display case showcasing pastries. Handwritten labels on the glass indicate different treats, including "Buchteln" and "Nougat Marzipan." A worker is using tongs to handle freshly baked doughnuts, while cookies and bagels are displayed on wooden stands. Behind the counter, a coffee machine and shelves stocked with mugs and ingredients complete the inviting atmosphere. — Most things were sold out when I was there

📍 Address: Lerchenfelderstrasse 13/5 zweiter Innenhof Durchgang zur, Neustiftgasse 16, 1070 Wien
⏰ Opening Time: Mon – Fr 7:30am – 6pm, Sat 7:30am – 2pm

Bäckerei Schwarzbrot is a small artisanal vegan bakery in Vienna where you can even watch bread being made while you wait! Everything is baked fresh on-site, so you’ll get super fresh pastries and read rolls if you time it right.

When I visited, most of the pastries had already sold out, so I’d recommend going early if you want the best selection.

The bakery is in a charming courtyard with limited outdoor seating and no indoor seating, so most people grab something to go. It’s also close to Vienna’s best museums, making it perfect for a quick snack before or after sightseeing.

6. Veganista

📍 Address: 10 locations in Vienna

Ask almost any vegan in Austria, and they’ll tell you that Veganista has the best vegan ice cream they’ve ever had. It’s definitely one of the most popular spots in Vienna, with multiple locations across the city.

That said, personally, I think the ice cream at Eisperle in Graz is even better, so honestly, Graz is worth a trip just for that amazing ice cream alone!

Veganista is so popular in Austria that you can now also find their ice cream in Spar supermarkets across the country. They’re known for their unique flavours like basil.

Not Quite All-Vegan Cafés

7. ausnahmsweise

Cozy vegan café with two staff behind a patterned tiled counter, preparing drinks beside a glass case filled with desserts. The minimalist interior features hanging lights, a chalkboard menu, and stacks of pink takeaway cups. — They have the best gluten free, vegan cakes in Vienna

A light and colorful café table with a moist orange coconut cake topped with icing, a walnut muffin with glaze, a glass of matcha latte, and a glass of water in soft natural light. — They have the best gluten free, vegan cakes in Vienna

📍 Address: Hofmühlgasse 18/5, 1060 Wien

To tell you the truth, I was really surprised to learn that Ausnahmsweise is not all vegan. All their delicious pastries are vegan and gluten-free, but they do serve cow milk.

What makes this spot special? You can take a vegan and gluten-free baking course here, perfect for anyone looking to recreate their delicious pastries at home!

8. Omas Backstube

A cozy café table set with a slice of layered pink cake, a blue mug of lupin coffee, and a glass of water, framed by a vase of fresh purple and yellow tulips. A small chalkboard reads “Bio Lupinenkaffee ohne Koffein – 1 Kanne mit Milch & Sirup oder Schwarz.”

Inside a charming Viennese bakery called "Oma's Backstube," featuring a dessert display filled with colorful cakes and jars of treats, a sign painted on the wall showing an elderly woman and child, and a cozy round table with tulips and handwritten signage.

📍 Address: Obere Augartenstraße 70, 1020 Wien

Omas Backstube offers all-vegan cakes and pastries but they also serve cow milk for coffee. It’s perfect if you love cream-filled cakes. Located next to Augarten, it’s a great spot to visit in Vienna during summer.

The name translates to Grandma’s bakery, and it delivers traditional cakes and likely good coffee. However, I wouldn’t recommend the matcha. Mine had a strange color and mostly tasted like oat milk.

9. VeganX

📍 Address: Nußdorfer Str. 43, 1090 Wien

VeganX is also not 100% vegan. It’s actually less vegan than the others I mentioned as they also have non-vegan pastries. Is it just me, or is that super strange?

It shares a space with GlutenFreeX, one display is fully vegan, the other is gluten-free (but not vegan). Same room, staff, and baker.

Cakes come pre-packed in plastic, and seating is limited, making it more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to relax.

One Thing to Know About Vegan Cafes in Vienna

One thing I found a bit odd about Vienna’s vegan cafés is that many of them don’t have toilets. So if you’re strolling through the city, don’t expect to conveniently combine a coffee and cake break with a restroom stop.

But these cafés are worth visiting on their own! What’s better than eating a delicious cake or flaky croissant with a traditional Viennese coffee or a matcha latte?

If you’re as obsessed with matcha as I am, don’t miss my guide to the best matcha spots in Vienna. Some of my favourite cafés don’t specialise in cakes, but they do make incredible matcha lattes.
