About

Cafe Gloriette sits in the heart of Vienna’s famous Schönbrunn Palace gardens, a former 18th‑century pavilion that was rebuilt in 1775 and recently converted into a charming cafe. The building, originally designed by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg as a dining hall for Emperor Franz Joseph I, now offers visitors a relaxed breakfast and brunch experience framed by bars of goatsplit stone, ornate bronze railings, and a sun‑lit interior that reflects both the grandeur of its Baroque origins and modern design sensibilities. Sitting on the roof, the cafe provides a unique observation platform that overlooks Vienna’s cityscape, making it a striking spot to enjoy coffee and pastry while taking in the historic garden vistas. For those interested in history, the café’s glass‑paneled roof, sculptural details from Johann Baptist von Hagenauer, and the preservation of the original garden layout offer an engaging walk through time.
