If you've ever spent any time in Vienna (or Austria for that matter) you will no doubt have sampled and enjoyed the tremendous cafe culture that abounds - the scent of fresh roasted beans emanating onto the back streets, the customers - packed in with newspapers and paperbacks at the ready. Never rushed, never intimidating - just places to sip amazing coffee and relax with an equally inspiring read...

Kipferl perfectly captures that tradition - whilst integrating some of the key features of it's West Smithfield postcode. It's small, it's a tight fit, but it's perfect. Nestled between a few French brasseries and takeaway sandwhich joints, Kipferl offers more than just coffee - including a fine selection of handmade sandwhiches (try the salmon bretzel or Austrian pate sandwhich!), cakes, and even takeaway beers and wines.

But the coffee - that's the real gem here. The authentic grosser brauner and melange are not to be missed. Leave the lattes and cappucinos for Costa or Nero's - at Kipferl authentic Austrian coffee is on exhibit...and the melange in particular may just be the best coffee in the city.

So bring a book, bring a paper - savour a salmon bretzel sandwhich, a grosser brauner - and enjoy a true cafe find in the heart of the city. ]]> Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:15:07 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1053v8x/kipferl/1e47y81415148921 subterranean 51.519555 -0.099216
