Strudel Cafe Kroll

A Must-Try Strudel Heaven in Innsbruck! Absolutely loved my visit to Kröll Strudel-Café! This charming spot offers an impressive variety of strudels — from classic sweet apple strudel to savory delights like ham and cheese. Everything was freshly baked and full of flavor. I also tried their cakes, which were equally fabulous. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the experience even better. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, this place is a must-try when you’re in Innsbruck!

Charming little spot with delicious strudels! Tried both the classic apple strudel and the poppy seed & cherry strudel – both were absolutely delightful. The apple strudel had just the right balance of sweetness and spice, and the poppy-cherry combo was rich and unique. It's a small place tucked along the street, but definitely worth a stop if you're in Innsbruck

It is a small place so it can be packed real quick but we got lucky and got a table outside. Inside is small and when it’s full of people the air can be bad. So I recommend the outside seating where you can see the beautiful street of Innsbruck old city. The coffee was ohkay but the strudel was really tasty!

We had takeaway of apple strudel and it wasn’t good. Also kind of expensive compared to nearby restaurants. Seems charging due to its prime location. Service was quick and place looked but crowded and cramped inside but you have places to sit outside.

Adorable and quaint cafe, our server was a sweet girl who promptly took our order and quickly brought out the items. She was very polite and friendly. The cafe is in a lovely location and we would definitely go visit this wonderful place again.

The apple strudel was absolutely delicious! The café is right in the heart of the city — perfect for a break after a long walk around town!

Came here to try the apple strudel and was blown away with how good it was! The atmosphere inside is also cosy, staff were friendly too. If you are looking for a place to satisfy your sweet cravings, this is the place to be!

This is one of the few places in town with hot oatmeal, as well as a bunch of other great breakfast food. Their donuts are amazing too! They prepared all the food fresh and gave us a great to-go setup to eat in our hotel room. They are also open pretty early which is great for jet lagged Americans!

A cozy and cute cafe with an English-speaking wait staff, fresh strudels made in the shop, plenty of variety. Inside are standing counters and perhaps 8 tables for 2-4 people. We were there perhaps 45 minutes on a Saturday at lunchtime, and it never stopped being busy. I'm no expert on strudel, but I can say our strudels were crunchy on the outside and generally satisfying. We thought we'd ordered too much and we still polished it all off. I especially enjoyed our custard dessert strudel - creamy and yummy, without being heavy at all!

Strrudel Cafe Kroll in Innsbruck was a nice little Cafe with delicious strudels and pastries. My issue I had was not having the option to sit down and eating after ordering from the register. I wasn't asked if it was to go or not. To sit down and eat, you have to sit down to order. I guess it's an European thing but this was the first. Not to mention, we were charged 2,50 Euros for a take out charge....ha ha ha. Another first.

Oh this place is super cute. They specialize in strudel and have both sweet and savory. They have some outdoor dining and a small space inside as well. Amazing variety of strudel. I had the mango peach and cheese. My partner had sour cherry and cheese. Both were really tasty and not too sweet! Good service and they have some lunch meal options too. It's delicious!!

Damn. This place is awesome. It is located in the middle of old town of Innsbruck. You can choose between sitting outside or inside. Sitting outside will give an amazing view in the centre with lots of tourist walking by. Chose to sit inside and its ambiance was superb, and its service was awesome as well. I ordered a strudel and it was amazing, i never had such amazing tasty strudel. I also ordered with a coffee and both together made my day. Definitely come back to this place again!

The strudel portion was large with thick pieces of apple but we got it to go because there were no seats and there was never an offer to warm it so it honestly didn't taste great. The microwave was full of plates being warmed and I know it was busy but the girl at the counter didn't seem to want to serve us. Just cut our portions and threw them in a bag.

We stopped here one morning for a quick breakfast before starting the day. The staff is very friendly and the entire cafe smells SO good! I got the vanilla krapfen which was so fresh and soft - the filling was also so good (similar to vanilla pudding). Definitely an Innsbruck must) Also: be aware it is cash only.

Strudel dough has a reputation for being difficult. After kneading an un-yeasted dough, it is rolled out and stretched so thin you can read a newspaper through it. The challenge is in achieving an even, thin dough without any holes. Most people prefer to skip the anxiety of making a strudel dough, but not in Austria, and not in Cafe Kröll. As an Austrian food snob who lived in Innsbruck for a few months and got to taste real, homemade apfelstrudel, I can only say that Cafe Kröll is not just a tourist trap in old town, it's actually very good. There is a wide variety of strudel to taste, from savory to sweet and all are delicious and well done. Service is fast and they are open at 6 AM which is always a plus But if you do happen to stop by that early, don't be confused about all the trucks and cars parked in random spots in front of restaurants and shops! Delivery trucks are allowed to drive inside old town between 6-8 AM. Cafe Kröll is cash only and there's limited outdoor seating. If you're an American looking for deep fried, crunchy and extremely sweet things, this is not the place for you. Even with the vanilla sauce, the apple strudel is not "American-sweet".

Nice cozy cafe with a great strudel selection. Whether savory or sweet, you're sure to find palate-pleasing choice. As it was my first time in Austria I had something of a "strudel dinner" and enjoyed. Both were very good, with a delicate flakiness in the crust. Having attempted strudel dough myself with great frustration, the bakers here definitely know what they are doing!

A small pocket of strudel-fueled bliss in Innsbruck. There is a backroom with several tables and bar-style service aligned with the entrance wall (Austrian style, much like croissants and tables on the side-walk are for me the French style). Service was quick, effective, and smiling. The waitress did not mind my German, and we agreed our English was funny. She kept bringing stuff to the table, and my coffee thanked her for it. Overall, loved the experience, will return.

Just giving three stars as we only went here for coffee. My espresso hit the spot and the cappuccino my partner had looked satisfactory. However the Strudels did look good and when we did walk past again in the afternoon on a Saturday the place was packed. Also the staff do speak English - I watched one of the waiters serve a group of Americans. Also to those who complained that they didn't speak English - how about you learn a phrase or two of German then! :)

We came to this strudel cafe for breakfast a couple mornings, as it was open everyday and it was open early (i.e. before we headed out for hikes). You can order takeout at the front or try to score one of several small tables in the back of the cafe to sit down at. When we were there early in the morning, getting a seat was no issue at all; when we showed up a little later (around 8:30 AM or so), we had to wait ~5 minutes or so to be seated. I can imagine this to be variable, as there are definitely some folks who are taking their time and being a bit more casual. It's cozy in the back, but otherwise not too distinctive of an ambiance outside of the numerous times we heard 'Despacito' playing on their playlist. The waitresses were quick to take our order and bring our food out, but we usually had to track them down in order to get our bill. Although this is indeed a strudel shop, the savory strudels here that we had were quite average. I went with the meat and potatoes strudel for our first visit here, and it was quite bland...it definitely had enough carbs to load me up on energy before setting out on our hikes, but the beef was barely noticeable, and there was definitely a deficiency of salt as well. The dish I did like much better was the simple ham and eggs that is served on the breakfast menu. Simply put, you get a hot skillet served with two sunny-side up eggs (that eventually get cooked to over-medium from residual heat), served with a bit of ham on the side. The meat was quite good, and mixed in with the eggs, it was a lighter and much more flavorful breakfast experience than the strudels we had. I would come back again, largely because there are a number of items I did not get to try, particularly any of the sweet strudels (or other pastries as well, which looked quite appetizing). At the worst, you will come out of the experience with a full stomach.

This is a cute, cozy place to eat breakfast. If you are going to dine in, you just sit down and a server will come help you. You may have to call them over to your table. They have a WC at the back. Their apple strudel and spinach feta strudel are amazing. That's all I could eat. As usual, you have to ask for the check since Europeans don't like to rush you out of their restaurants.

Cute Strudel cafe in the center of town. We came here for a quick snack before our flight back home- the huge amount of pastries in the window just made us go in almost automatically. So we sat down and ordered a salty strudel first - mine was with beef and potatoes and was pretty good, came with a little salad and dressing on the side. My friend had something else (think it was spinach and feta) - but she wasn't very impressed by it. On the sweet section we had a bit more success- the apple strudel was very good and came super hot just like we asked. We also had cremeschnitt cake which was very good once we put away the weird glazing layer on top of it - much better without it! My friend had a great walnut strudel, which looked smelled and tasted great. The service was excellent- our waiter was nice and patient, and even gave us recommendations.. Which is not very common to do around here The prices are not low but tourist-reasonable. The design is very nice and cozy, it's also pretty crowded.. Once a table leaves someone else sits almost immediately, so be patient if you'll have to wait a little- there are not so many tables. I must be honest though... wasn't knocked off my feet foodwise but it was tasty and well made, guess it's not the best in town.. and yet- had a really good experience and maybe I'll get here again to try one of the other strudels- there was a lot to choose from!

This is a to go review, the strudel was good but not warmed up. The service was fast and friendly even though the cafe was very busy. Cappuccino was very good and prepared to perfection. The atmosphere is very modern.

Four stars for the service, because the man helping us was not very helpful. He did not care that another lady had cut in front of me in line and spent 15 minutes with her. The apfel strudel, however, was absolutely DIVINE. The apples had a slight tart to it but the filling was sweet enough to compliment it perfectly. The crust was flaky, pulling the whole pastry together. My fiance and I ended up taking a second one to-go so we could enjoy it that evening. Even then, without a microwave or oven, it was delicious.

Cozy spot to have breakfast or dessert strudels. We sat outside in the fur lined chairs and it's a great atmosphere. Also try the lattes, so good.

I was in need some some sugar and this place hit the spot! Can't go wrong with the apple strudel and vanilla ice cream with a beautifully balanced espresso macchiato, I would recommend this combo strongly. Also just a FYI, they don't take cards all cash, i.e. euros. I want to go back and try more of the different flavors offered

Good place for some strudel. Did you know there was such a thing as savory strudel? Neither did I, it looks good and if I was there longer I would have tried some but I was there for breakfast and I wanted to have a fruit one. I picked sour cherry and it was pretty good. The vanilla sauce not really that great so I would skip that in the future since that costs extra.

I have never tasted such great apple strudel, not too sweet or sour or heavy, a mellow honey-like sweetness of the apples and slightly buttery pie dough complement well with the vanilla ice cream. Also offers a huge variety of other fruit strudels like pear, plum, and berries. Amazing! I now have a strudel hankering just thinking about it!

Great breakfast place, open early for those of us jet lagging! Ham and eggs were delicious; so simple, all prepared in a single skillet. Coffee was perfect as well.

I found it weird that no one here spoke english and that they didn't accept credit cards, despite being in a very heavy tourist area, but that's just a minor inconvenience. The real disappointment was the strudels themselves. We ordered an apple one and a cheese/jam one. Sadly, neither were very good. We had them warm and they were really not that tasty - we expected a lot more from the "best in town". Honestly, we preferred the strudel we got from Spar for 1.50 euro the next day - it was bigger and more delicious, so I recommend saving some money and just getting something from the grocery store.

The strudels here are delicious and the variety is humbling. There is at least half a dozen of sweet strudels and a few savory ones. They are also very reasonably priced, considering this place is very central in the Old Town, right next to the Golden Roof. The coffee was good too.

We visited in the summer, the strudel was OK. Not much of a selection when we were there. It wasn't any better then dessert at any other place we ate while in town.

This is the best place for Strudels in Innsbruck !!!Not too sweet, just perfect. Great welcoming staff.

Terrible service, overrated food. There were two staff working in the shop at the time when we visited there but none of them seemed to care about us and they just kept chatting amongst themselves. We had no choice but seated ourselves and started looking at the menu. Still no one has came to us so we finally walked up to the counter and tried to place the order with one of them, the lady staff. I was still being patient and polite and told her that we were ready to order. She didn't say anything and immediately turned her head and asked her colleague, the male staff to help us instead. He was acting all weird and being sarcastic during our conversation. Anyway we finally placed the order and I saw our strudels were ready and waiting at the counter. Though she didn't serve them to us right away but she waited and made the male staff to bring them to our table which it was about 5-10 mins later. Of course, our strudels were already cooled off and very much tasteless. I still have no idea why she couldn't just brought them to us when they were still hot and fresh. Not to mention the place wasn't busy at all when we visited there. We strongly dislike this place as there was no reason whatsoever why we should being treated like that. Terrible!
