Following on from the previous instalment, Das Voglhaus is another central café popular with the tourists.
Advantages:
- Location: central, not as close as Pano to public transport, but on a pedestrian street with good prospects for people-watching when you get board.
- Decent coffee and great food, mostly in the light bites category, like the depicted spinach and feta quiche with red onion chutney. Perfect when you’re working and don’t want something heavy. Plus it’s all vegetarian and organic, which makes one feel virtuous.
- Range of seating options: benches, stools, beanbags (but see below).
- Friendly staff.
- Aggressively pro-European (they have little badges with the EU flag).
Disadvantages:
- Smallish and usually packed at key times of day, so difficult to get in. Especially since, as a single working dude, I have to queue with my stuff before getting a table, by which time any free seats might have disappeared.
- Bad acoustics. It’s really loud in here.
- On the wall is the below terrible poem, a paean to libertarianism (see picture). It’s attributed to Dr. med. Albert Schweitzer, and widely cited in right-wing interwebs circles, but actually isn’t by Schweitzer: it’s a translation of an American English poem by Dean Alfange.
- No chance at all to get an internet connection; it’s like the place is lined with a foot of lead.
Price of a regular black coffee (Café Natur): €3.20
Overall rating: ☕️☕️☕️ (3/5)
