The “phil” in Vienna’s 6th district unites what belongs together: coffee and books. The trendy café combines a coffee house, bookshop, furniture store and event location in a cozy living room atmosphere. So we have more than just the name in common with phil, we also share its philosophy: phil at home!
Whether it’s a full-on gourmet breakfast or a small snack for in-between, coffee and homemade cakes or evening drinks – phil is the place to be at any time of day or night for culinary and literary delights. And the selection of books is just as carefully selected and eccentric as the interior decoration with its retro feel. It ranges across all genres and categories, is very particular and sometimes even bizarre, but guaranteed to be special in any case. You can take your time browsing through all books while sitting in the café. Maximum relaxation!
Alongside the large selection of books, café phil also offers a constantly rotating range of vinyl records and DVDs. As an event location, the café is also a hotspot for culture junkies: readings, film evenings and concerts frequently take place at phil in the characteristic homely flair. And you can even take a piece of it with you to your own “home”. Quite literally – all furniture at phil is available for purchase.
Our resident manager Klement Petzner-Gumbo didn’t come to buy furniture, but for a bite of breakfast, and he immediately felt at home in café phil. A large part of this was thanks to the excellent service. The phil staff stands out not only due to their competence when it comes to the cuisine, but also the literature – here, they are more than happy to give trustworthy reading recommendations. Klement’s conclusion: “Laid-back, happy and relaxed.”
