About
L. Heiner K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäckerei is Vienna’s oldest royal‑court chocolate‑bakery – a family‑owned business since 1840 that has grown from a modest street‑corner shop into a landmark pastry house with six modern branches across Vienna and Lower Austria. The brand’s roots run deep into the city’s culinary history: in 1908 it was granted the prestigious Königlicher Hoflieferanten title, and in 1977 it received the State’s award of distinction. Today the Heiner family continues the tradition under the leadership of Michael Stuller and his wife Verena, offering an extensive range of freshly baked bread, cakes, pastries, savory items, and more. Visitors can enjoy a classic Viennese breakfast, a coffee or tea with seasonal pastries, or a sweet treat that has earned international acclaim. As a family‑friendly destination, it invites couples, tourists and locals alike to savor the authentic flavors of Austrian baking while celebrating the bakery’s heritage in a modern setting.
