Kaffeeamt: A Café with a Family Cabin in Vienna’s 2nd District

Kaffeeamt in Vienna’s 2nd district caught our eye because of its family “Kajüte” (cabin): a separate area for families with a play corner that you can even reserve. We haven’t been there ourselves yet. So we asked the team, and Amelie from Kaffeeamt answered all our questions in detail and sent us photos. Thank you!

The Family Cabin

The Kajüte has a small play corner with a play kitchen, books, games and puzzles, and drawing things are available on request. The photo also shows a boat-shaped ball pit and a small toy theatre. When you book online, you can choose the Kajüte as a separate area. If you can’t select it, it’s already fully booked at that time.

With a Pram

There’s one step at each entrance, which Kaffeeamt says is easy to manage with a pram. Inside, there’s room for a pram at most tables. To leave enough space for playing in the Kajüte, there’s a dedicated pram parking spot next to the bar.

Kid-Friendliness

There are high chairs and a changing table. A detail we especially like: if you’ve forgotten nappies or wet wipes, Kaffeeamt has some for you. About a five-minute walk away is the playground on the Vilma-Steindling-Promenade, which according to the City of Vienna has swings, slides, climbing, a roundabout, a play house and a trampoline. On the other side of the Danube Canal, a little over ten minutes on foot, there’s also the playground in Rudolfspark. We’ll check out both when we visit Kaffeeamt with the kids.

Coffee and Food

Kaffeeamt’s house coffee is Caffè vom See, a small roastery from Lake Millstatt in Carinthia. Its own café in Vienna scored 39 out of 40 points for coffee in the Falstaff Café Guide 2026. For pregnant and breastfeeding mums, and anyone who still wants to sleep tonight, there’s decaf from the Viennese roastery D stands for decaf. According to the website, the food includes breakfast and brunch, homemade cakes and pastries, daily soups and weekly specials.

Outdoor Seating

Kaffeeamt also has an outdoor seating area (Schanigarten). The only drawback: it isn’t smoke-free. Why smoke-free patios matter so much to us is explained on Smoke-Free Patios.

What Other Families Say

On Google, Kaffeeamt has 4.8 out of 5 stars from more than 600 reviews (as of November 2026). Guests especially praise the friendly, attentive service and the breakfast, above all the French toast and shakshuka. Many families write about how much they like the Kajüte: a group with three toddlers found it ideal, and several guests appreciate that the family area is separate from the rest of the café – so guests with and without children both feel comfortable. According to one review, the toilet with the changing table also has a children’s toilet seat and a nappy bin. The small outdoor seating area is popular too, and Kaffeeamt is easy to reach on the U2.

💡 Our tip: If you want the kids to use the play corner, book a table in the Kajüte right away.

It all sounds very promising. We hope to see it for ourselves soon.

Our Verdict

A dedicated cabin for families, toys, a changing table with emergency nappies and top-rated coffee: Kaffeeamt has clearly given families a lot of thought. It’s at the top of our list. Once we’ve been there with the kids, we’ll add our own impressions here.
