The origin of Viennese coffee
When you are talking about Viennese Coffee, you have to go back to the 1600s, when the influence of the Turks in Vienna brought the tradition and taste for coffee. Where the representatives of the Turkish army had the habit of making coffee time a social ritual.
However, the inhabitants of this city, after the Turkish army left due to having lost the battle and leaving the existing coffee supplies abandoned, adopted the custom and made it as traditional as a social gathering.
It is even after these battles that the appearance of the first coffee shops begins, not only in Vienna but in Europe, where it is said that this city was the pioneer. Merchants created spaces conducive to pleasant conversations and in turn those who attended them could have sensory experiences with coffee. In addition, they included areas for reading the main news and trends in the world.
