Cafes
For urban Austrians, daytime drinking traditionally centres around the cafe or the Kaffeehaus . There's no real difference between the two: the name " Kaffeehaus " suggests some historical pedigree - a relaxing, urban cafe, furnished with a stock of the day's newspapers, in the vein of the grand, atmospheric Viennese cafes - but cafes, too, offer essentially the same range of food and drink. Both serve alcoholic and soft drinks, cakes and a wide range of different coffees (see "Coffee and cakes"). Places where cakes and pastries are baked on the premises often call themselves a Cafe-Konditorei , or Kaffee-Konditorei. Many places also serve substantial lunches and main evening meals, although the choice is usually more limited than in restaurants. Cafes and coffeehouses often open as early as 7am and continue until early evening; those in big cities remain open until 11pm or later.
