Think of it as one for summer days, with the optimistic aura of a young democracy enjoying its first trip to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ambience is curiously delightful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re in the middle of the grounds of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sightseeing\/palace-of-schonbrunn\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1672\">Habsburg summer palace<\/a>, but you wouldn&#8217;t necessarily know it. The house and seating areas are ringed by tall hedges on one side and a lengthy grassed area bounded by trees on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that sounds unspectacular it&#8217;s not meant to be. Therein lies its charm; just a few metres away, vast swathes of tourists wander the palace and its immediate environs. Yet here you enjoy the sun or shade in a secluded glade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t help but relax. We arrived on a Sunday morning in May and found a seat with relative ease, but perhaps it gets busier in the peak summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The d\u00e9cor is simple; white chairs and light wooden tables inside, pastel foldaway chairs outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We couldn&#8217;t decide what it all reminded us of, but settled on the 1920s. Let&#8217;s just say historical, without being too historical. What&#8217;s nice is we saw no ugly branded glasses or parasols: hence the classic flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not cheap, mind you (you&#8217;ll pay over \u20ac6 for a cappuccino), but not excessively expensive, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;wide range of food and drink matches traditional selections with imaginative alternatives. And all quite beautifully presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while you can get basic beef soup or a latte, you also have beetroot falafel salad or &#8220;homemade&#8221; lime and ginger lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cake_small.jpg\" alt=\"Cake and coffee\" class=\"wp-image-9186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cake_small.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cake_small-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">(Landtmann&#8217;s Jausen Station cake and coffee; press photo \u00a9 Jan Lackner)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jausen Station is run by the same family that manages several well-known coffee&nbsp;houses in Vienna, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/eatingdrinking\/cafespubsbars\/cafe-museum\/\">Caf\u00e9 Museum<\/a> near the State Opera House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group has its own patisserie producing the kinds of cakes Vienna is famous for. So you face the eternal dilemma&#8230;do you take a healthy vegan organic option, or do you pig out on a killer cake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good to know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My kids are grown up now, but everything seems very family friendly, perhaps echoing the building&#8217;s origins in the early 1800s as a pavilion for the young Habsburg boys to play and exercise in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found a &#8220;parking space&#8221; for prams, a microwave for warming milk, an outdoor baby changing table, and a kiddy&#8217;s play area off to one side. Oh, and a deck chair-strewn glade for &#8220;older kiddies&#8221; to forget the stress of modern life and regress into the optimism of more innocent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NB: The Jausen Station has closed over winter in the past, so might not be available if you&#8217;re in Vienna between late October and early March. Since it&#8217;s embedded in the Sch\u00f6nbrunn park it doesn&#8217;t stay open &#8217;til late, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Landtmann&#8217;s Jausen Station<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/schonbrunn\/gettingthere\/\">directions for Sch\u00f6nbrunn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landtmann&#8217;s Jausen Station is about 200m off to the right as you face the palace on the garden side, &#8220;hidden away&#8221; among the trees. You can also reach it from the eastern side of the park where the Sch\u00f6nbrunn subway station is. See the map below for details&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re in Sch\u00f6nbrunn and looking for a more traditional coffee house, you can always try the Caf\u00e9-Restaurant in the Kavalierstrakt outbuilding that stretches away from the palace tour entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Sch\u00f6nbrunner Schlosspark (Kronprinzengarten), 1130 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1qxMhuM31vUOcHvWtm9QzWRPeiURPKwCX\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sadly, the rather lovely Jausen Station closed at the end of the 2023 season.
