Vienna

A quick, decadent Austrian classic, a Vienna coffee is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping you going. Perfect for an afternoon catch up with friends.

This drink is actually called Einspänner in Austria, which means the one-horse carriage. It’s said that the drink, poured into a handled glass and filled with whipped cream stayed hot for longer in the cold nights. Nothing like a coffee that was created for horse-driving workers!
