Upon entering Das Kaffeehaus, guests are greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance. The interior design exudes a nostalgic charm, with vintage furniture, eclectic décor, and an open layout that encourages relaxation and conversation.

The café's layout pays homage to classic Viennese coffee houses, creating a space where patrons can enjoy a leisurely coffee break or work in a serene environment. The friendly staff further enhance the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit feel like a special occasion.

Outdoors for summer days: The spacious outdoor seating area at Das Kaffeehaus offers a picturesque setting for enjoying a coffee al fresco. Surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, the garden provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's an ideal spot to soak up the sunshine, read a book, or catch up with friends. The café also hosts occasional live music events and community gatherings, further enhancing its role as a social hub in Castlemaine.

Travel to Austria: Enjoy a selection of local and Austrian beers and wines, indulge in hearty, traditional meals reminiscent of Oma's (grandma's) cooking, and stay for the extensive array of cakes and pastries, including the magnificent apfelstrudel.

Austrian and Bavarian Food: .If you are a once off visitor you have to go authentic Austrian. Try some classic Austrian food and of course the sausages. Probably not the best place for a vegetarian. Don't forget to try the desserts!

The food can be surprisingly filling and don't let the sparse presentation fool you. It just adds to the authenticity. I'd suggest you pace yourself as far as the eating goes so you can really enjoy it and leave enough space to try out the authentic cakes and desserts too! They also have alcoholic beverages and alcoholic coffees too if that takes your fancy.

Attention to detail: Besides the interior decor and general stylings even the menu and fonts selected look great. It's also nice that the wait staff have a standard Austrian themed uniform to complete the theme and make your experience more memorable.

Dining and menu: Das Kaffeehaus offers a delightful array of pastries and light meals. The menu features a mix of European-inspired treats and locally sourced ingredients, catering to a variety of tastes. The freshly baked croissants, strudels, and cakes are perfect accompaniments to a steaming cup of coffee.

The savoury options, such as its range of wurstel (sausages), chicken schnitzel burger, ghoulash, kaiser rolls and more provide a satisfying lunch or brunch experience. The emphasis on quality and flavor is consistent throughout the menu.

Coffee Basics Das Kaffeehaus gets very busy so if you visit during a peak period so come earlier in the morning if you want to avoid queues.
