„Friends who brunch together, stay together.“; Girly Brunch
There are those days in Vienna when I wake up and immediately know:
Today is not a day for rushing. Today is a day for a girly brunch.
Not just any brunch. But one where I take my time, consciously choose my outfit (even if it’s „just“ a coffee date), and somewhere between the first cappuccino and the second matcha, realize: this is exactly how I want to feel about my life. And that’s precisely what my girly brunch spots are all about. It’s not just about the food.
It’s about that feeling. That feeling of being exactly where I want to be. Over the past few months, I’ve already taken you to some of my absolute favorite places on vanivanity – places that each create this feeling in their own unique way. Today, I’m bringing them all together.
Not as a classic list. But as a little world you can immerse yourself in.
Cosmo
– a bit like Gossip Girl, but a Viennese version
There are places you walk into – and suddenly your whole perspective shifts. That’s exactly how it is at Cosmo.
I still remember the first time so clearly. Walking in, that first glance, that „okay, wow.“ And all of a sudden, you’re sitting there, right in the heart of Vienna, but it feels like a small, secret retreat. Cosmo has this very special blend of elegance and ease. Nothing is overdone. But everything is beautiful. The courtyard, the light, the details – it’s one of those places where you automatically slow down. Where you don’t look at your phone, but lean back and simply…be.
And yes, it definitely has that Gossip Girl in Vienna vibe.
But not loud. More like: old money meets girly brunch date. The food? Exactly what you want. Not complicated, not over-the-top – but prepared in such a way that you think: I could have this every Sunday. Cosmo isn’t a place for a quick breakfast. It’s a place for moments. For that kind of morning that feels a bit like a movie.
Salt & Honey
– that one friend you always end up staying with longer
Salt & Honey isn’t your typical brunch spot.
It’s more of a feeling. Whenever I’m there, the same thing always happens: I arrive thinking, „Let’s just pop in for a bit“… and suddenly three hours have passed. Everything about this place is warm. The colors, the light, the atmosphere.
It’s not that „perfectly styled Instagram café.“ It’s more authentic. Softer. Calmer. And that’s exactly what makes it so special. It’s not about being seen. It’s about feeling comfortable.
The food is just like the atmosphere: balanced, beautiful, but never overwhelming.
You can tell that someone here understands what a good start to the day should feel like. Salt & Honey is that place where conversations deepen. Where „How was your week?“ suddenly turns into real conversations. And somehow, that’s exactly what a good girly brunch should be.
&flora
– my personal soft girl moment
If I had to describe a place that feels like a Sunday morning in my ideal version of life, it would be &flora. It’s green. It’s quiet. It’s soft. You walk in and something immediately happens—everything slows down. Your thoughts quiet down. And suddenly you feel like you have time. I love places that give you that feeling. &flora is like a little greenhouse in the middle of the city. A place that doesn’t overwhelm you, but catches you.
The food is light, fresh, almost delicate.
It fits perfectly with the whole setting. This isn’t about „wow, look how fancy.“ This is about balance. I come here when I want to unwind. When I need to get myself sorted out a bit. Or simply when I’m having one of those days when everything needs to be a little calmer.
&flora isn’t a girly brunch spot.
It’s a little reset.
Joma
– effortless chic, just as Vienna can be
Joma is one of those places that just always works for me.
It’s not that „hidden gem“ you almost want to keep secret. It’s present. Central. Vibrant. And that’s exactly what I love about it. Joma has that classic Viennese feel—but with a modern twist. A little bit busy, a little bit elegant, a little bit of everything.
You sit there, look out, people-watch, order something delicious… and automatically feel like you’re part of the city.
And that’s precisely the point:
Joma isn’t a retreat. It’s a place right in the thick of things. Perfect for days when you need a boost of energy. When you want to get dressed, go out, and experience life a little more. The food is just like the concept: stylish, but not complicated. Reliable, but never boring. Joma is that one girly brunch place you can always suggest. And everyone immediately says: yes, perfect.
Die Wolke
– girly brunch, but with fun
And then there’s Die Wolke.
A place that does things a little differently. It’s not about classic plates. It’s about sharing, experimenting, that little bit of chaos at the table that’s somehow just right. I love it. The colorful platters, the variety, that „let’s just order everything and see what happens“ attitude. It’s lively, it’s loud, it’s simply… fun.
Die Wolke isn’t the place for quiet, introspective mornings.
It’s the place for laughter, for stories, for those conversations where you end up saying: okay, that was needed. And that’s exactly why it belongs on this list for me. Because girly brunch isn’t just soft and quiet. Sometimes it’s also wild, colorful, and a little chaotic.
Why these spots in particular?
because here you can see the feminine side
I’ve thought long and hard about why these five places are so special to me. And the answer is actually quite simple: Because they all evoke a feeling. Not just „it’s beautiful there.“ But truly, this feeling of wanting to be there. Each of these spots represents a different version of me:
– Cosmo is my elegant, slightly dreamy side
– Salt & Honey is my calm, connecting side
– &flora is my soft, reflective side
– Joma is my energetic, city-loving side
– The Cloud is my playful, spontaneous side
And that’s precisely what makes them girly brunch spots. It’s not about pink decor or sweet drinks. It’s about feeling comfortable there. Feeling beautiful. Feeling a little more like yourself.
my summary
– brunch is my favorite feeling in Vienna
To be honest, brunch is so much more than just going out to eat for me. It’s my little ritual. My reset. My moment. It’s this conscious „I’m taking time for myself now.“ For myself. For my friends. For this life I’m building. And Vienna is simply the perfect city for it.
Because it has these places.
These small, special spots that make exactly this feeling possible. And maybe that’s precisely why I love girly brunch so much: Because it shows that it’s often not the big things.
But the small moments that feel big. And if you ask me where you can find these moments? Right here.
