What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Schatz-Konditorei offers a charming, old-world experience with a delightful array of cakes and coffee. Reviewers praise the friendly service and the nostalgic atmosphere, making it a memorable stop. While some find prices a bit high, the quality and taste of the traditional pastries are consistently lauded.
"Excellent small cake and coffee shop. The cakes, which paired nicely with the coffee, are light and fresh, not overly sweet and reminded me of the delicate desserts in Japan. Despite how busy they are the service is warm and welcoming. We went twice in the same day, first my husband and I, then later with our grownup kids so that they could also have a treat (they devoured the cakes). I know that whenever I give Salzburg itinerary advice to friends I will always tell them don’t skip this place; it will add a memorable sweet touch to their trip!"

"Fabulous place. Loved it so much we went back the next day. It is very small and (I'm told) gets very busy. A very long-established cafe with fabulous drinks and cakes. Friendly staff."
David Brown
"Excellent konditorei, with great service! I had the Sacher-Torte. This was a bit dry, but this is how it is intended. Therefore I would recommend to take some whipped cream with it.
Edit: we came back and asked the server where we could take a Mozart Kugel with some coffee. She told us they had those as well, so we tried these. This kugel is an original with a small amount of spice and more dark chocolate. It's good! The cookie was really good.It was creamy - a bit less crunchy than I'd like - and the chocolate was very tasteful.
All in all a great Konditerei where even the locals go to!"
