Konditorei Zauner

Such a beautiful place with very friendly staff and very tasty cookies. We finally managed to eat the real Ischler. We're hoping back tomorrow to buy more as it was so delicious. Thank you guys for your hard work as the place was so crowded. They must be inhumanly popular.

The place itself is beautiful! In summer, the waterfront is beautiful! Desserts and sandwiches look amazing! Inside the cafe it looks amazing too! Of the obvious disadvantages: the tables are as close to each other as possible, some guests smoke - it's unpleasant, the waiters are not very friendly (apparently because tourists are not regular visitors!).

I had some very fond memories of the place and finally managed to visit after many years since my last visit and was excited. The place was packed full with people. Waiters struggled and we waited a long time for the orders to come. One of the older waiters was a bit on the rude side initially pushing customers out of his way when we came in. Later he complained about things (incl. some new coworker) in front of us and I even heard him swear in front of the neighboring table. Total way to ruin the experience. Whatever problems happen behind the scenes, the customer should not be the one hearing about them. As for the interior, it's a bit on the dates side. A place like that can get away with that but I never felt so uncomfortable there as I did this time. The cakes are still top notch and I'd give it 5 stars. We had some of them packed for take away which wasn't done very nicely. Instead of putting them into a sold cardboard box they where just wrapped in some paper making everything stick. When we unpacked it just a little later bits and pieces just came off those nice looking cakes and really ruined it for me. I'm sorry, but I don't see myself ever coming back with service this dreadful.

The classic in Ischl, and a must-go for the old-time imperial atmosphere. The sweets are amazing as well, and be sure to take some home as they are unique. The food choices are limited and nothing special. I like the open-faced sandwiches well enough -- they're a 60s time warp -- and there are some other Austrian standbys. Service was friendlier than it may have been in years gone by, but a bit indifferent and definitely a bit slow. But you're not there for a quick meal, but for the experience, which is worth it.

The best place in Bad Ischl for coffee, dessert, and ice-cream! This is a must stop if you're visiting. Beautiful, elegant seating. Exquisite pastry and desserts. They have small savory breads too as well as some breakfast meals, so really everyone will be able to pick :) Great service.

This café is a dream! It was fancy with white table cloths, fantastic service, and beautiful decor (from the wallpaper to the seating to the lights), yet very cozy and welcoming. There are SO many cakes and pastries to choose from at the front of the store, and you can also order food from off the menu. We honestly were not expecting the food to be as good as it was!

A stop here is a must when visiting Bad Ischl. Although a table with a street view is preferable, if not available, step inside to the large dinning room in the back. Service is prompt, pleasant, English is spoken. The cakes are absolutely delicious. Aperol spritz is nice and strong. The bathrooms are stunning, all the metal fittings are gold colored, including on the toilet. Credit cards accepted.

The decor and appearance of this coffee shop is incredibly alluring, however unfortunately I found the appearance to be much more enticing than the actual taste of the food itself. Service was slow and we had to ask for the waiter multiple times both to order and to pay. This could be down to me speaking only English, however my girlfriend is a native Austrian and therefore naturally fluent in German. Most of the staff were friendly enough, however our waiter Krisztian came across as rude and irritated when we asked to pay by card due to the card machine not working. Eventually we had to pay by cash.

Yes, this place is a bit of a tourist attraction, but the Lehar schnitten and the Zauner Törtchen were absolutely wonderful. It's a busy place and ordering is a bit chaotic, but it's worth it. They have some outdoor seating and indoor seating. It looked like you choose your sweet and pay, and then they bring your food to you. I got mine to go and they wrapped it nicely. They also seemed to have some open-faced sandwiches if you wanted a light lunch before indulging in the sweets.

Dined here on a rainy afternoon after taking the Katrin Cable Car up the mountain. Zauner is situated right along the river. The interior feels classically Parisian which is a perfect setting in this idilic Austrian town. There are more options than you could ever want and all are done perfectly. You order at the counter and take a number then a server brings your pastries and drinks to the table. Great experience.

Zauner is the kind of place you fell in love with. So typical Austrian, lovely and full with sweet treasures! There are two of them, the biggest one in the old city and a smaller one along the river Taurn, on the Esplanade. They have so many desserts, chocolate, cakes, ice cream and drinks it makes it hard for you to order. And once you've tasted it, you will promise yourself you will be back someday! Sitting outside in the terrace along the river, enjoying some delicious ice cream preparation, was a very agreeable and wonderful moment. I was in the area with Austrian friends, and they wanted to go (back) to this awesome Kaffeekonditorei so badly we did a 50 mn detour on our way home. And it was more than worth it...

Famous and typical Austrian Cafe, long tradition and very famous for the Zauner Stollen, a yummy chocolate nut praline cake. The views at the Hasenalle cafe are simply stunning and the chairs are very comfy!

This place is old school and cool. Step in the doorway and you are instantly transported back a half-century or more. The decor is beautiful and the ambiance is 19th century elegant. Best of all...the pastries and sweets are still first rate. Zauner has been around since the early 1800s and was baking for royalty during the Austian-Hungarian Monarchy. If you are in the town and need something sweet after a fine meal, then take a stroll to Zauner. Besides this mainstreet location, there is another down along the river.

Famous bakery the Kaiser used to frequent. A little bougie, but worth a visit. Quite full of tourists. Overpriced for what you get, but I suppose you're paying for the atmosphere and history as well.

Super delicious cakes, especially the Swiss roll cake. They used very nice ingredients to make the taste so different. I like it so much that want to go back the store to get some cakes.
