When you enter the brand new restaurant, coffee house connoisseurs immediately notice the lively, modern design, the interior furnishings of which are made exclusively from sustainable products, explains managing director Dafina Pllana in an interview with Gastro News. In addition to first-class homemade coffee in unusual variants, a large selection of cakes and other sweet pastries are also essential components of the restaurant. The latter are specially handcrafted by the in-house pâtissier in the kitchen and professionally prepared and adapted to regional tastes; In Austria, for example, there is an exclusive cake with apricots.

Like the current managing directors, the Prince Coffee Houses come from the Balkans, more precisely from Kosovo, where the chain already has 14 branches. With the successful business model, the company initially expanded into no smaller city than New York City. “As expected, the competition there is of course very fierce. The New York guests, however, appreciate the homemade desserts and the coffee very much. We are observing something similar at our first branch in the EU in Vienna: after just six days we already have a few regular guests who only rave about our products and recommend them to their friends. First and foremost, we opened the new branch in Vienna because we were aware of the city’s long-standing coffee tradition, ”said Pllana. A second location on the Neuer Markt is planned for the near future at the end of the year, which will return to normal operations after extensive construction work and will be transformed into a new hotspot in the city center.
