julius meinl is a must try. an absolutely refreshing, charming, and unique place to grab a coffee or a viennese breakfast. add to that their friendly service and casual elegant interior to make this cafe/restaurant a sure crowd pleaser.

the only qualm i have is the street parking, which can be a bit elusive.

My girlfriends and I came here for brunch…and the place was already packed! We had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table, but it was worth the wait.

I visited Julius Meinl Cafe for the first time and had the best cup of coffee there. A friend and I went on a Friday night and the place was pretty much packed. The service was great and the ambiance can be described to be “romantic”. They even had someone there playing live music. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in having a great cup of coffee or in finding a nice place to chat.

I came here for Saturday brunch, arriving exactly 1 minute after it opened at 11a.m. and the place was PACKED! There was a 20 minute wait to get seated at the restaurant! Other customers, who did not want to eat there, had the option of going up to the pastry/coffee counter to order quick breakfasts. Some of them would take these quick bites and sit in the waiting area (which has about 4-5 tables with booth like seats) in the front to munch on their meals.

The ambience is fresh, clean and bright. The cafe is located at the street corner, so 2 sides of it are made up of tall and wide windows. This gives the cafe a very open, almost outdoorsy, feel. The tables were each decorated with a tiny vase full of fresh, multi-colored carnations which added to the cheery atmosphere. As busy as it was, the staff never made us feel rushed. The food was great (talk about an endless selection) and I will definitely be returning to taste the yummy looking pastries on display!
