My favorite coffee place in town! It has it all, great cakes and coffee, amazing service and the best panoramic view of the mountains and castle. Also, not expensive at all, especially for this level of quality.

Best view over Salzburg. Inclusive staff, very reasonable prices. Amazing for a bite and a coffee or wine. This my favourite go-to place to chill out and read a book (it's above the library, so you can also just pick up a book from downstairs and bring it back afterwards, even without being a member).

The cafe is 5 storeys up using a lift in an angled lift shaft. The food choice is good and is tasty. It is staffed by people with various disabilities so contributes to the wellbeing of the local area. The views of Salzburg are amazing
