Numerous legends abound. One version which seems the most plausible concerns Georg Franz Kolschitzky, who served as a scout between the two opposing camps during the unsuccessful Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683. It seems he was quite fluent in the Turkish language and familiar with Turkish customs. After the end of the siege, Kolschitzky supposedly asked for (and received) large bags of green beans as a reward for his services. In one version, these beans were at first taken to be camel-fodder by the Viennese. However, when roasted and brewed with hot water, they produced a strong aroma and a delightful taste. Kolschitzky eventually opened one of the first coffeehouses in Vienna. Vienna was not the first city to boast a coffeehouse. In fact, the first coffeehouses were built in the harbour cities of Venice and London. But in Vienna, the coffeehouse has been brought to a level of perfection never equaled elsewhere. Your coffee will arrive on a silver platter accompanied by a small glass of water with a spoon balanced precariously over it. As you sip your coffee, you can read all of the day’s local and a selection of foreign-language newspapers. They are provided free of charge. You may sit and do whatever you are doing for as long as you wish. And it is a place to meet people. Friends meet just to chat or gossip. Business partners negotiate deals involving great sums of money over a Melange. And whatever lobbying is done in Vienna, it is likely to happen in a coffeehouse. Many coffeehouses offer meals and delicious cakes and pastries are always available. Some of the most famous coffeehouses are Café Landtmann, on splendid Ring Boulevard, or the Café Sacher, home of the most famous chocolate cake the “Sachertorte”, located at the pedestrian area of Kärntner Strasse. Try the Café Griensteidl, which used to be a haven for some of the most famous Austrian writers, artists and philosophers or the lavishly decorated Café Central at Herrengasse, which even offers piano music from time to time.The Viennese coffeehouse is old - and yet it displays youth and vitality.
