Kaffee Alchemie

Top choice in Salzburg


Making coffee really is rocket science at this vintage-cool cafe by the river, which spotlights high-quality, fair-trade, single-origin beans. Talented baristas make spot-on espressos (on a Marzocco GB5, in case you're wondering), cappuccinos and speciality coffees, which go nicely with the selection of cakes and brownies. Not a coffee fan? Try the supersmooth coffee-leaf tea.
