Kleiner Brauner: An espresso served with coffee cream. But not everywhere... If you order an espresso at Aida Café, you'll get an espresso topped with whipped cream.

What in most european countries is commonly known as "latte macchiato"is here in Vienna called Kaffee verkehrt, which literally means "reversed coffee", because it contains more milk than coffee.

If it's summer and you don't feeling like drinking hot milk, you can ask for a cold latte macchiato: espresso, cold milk, milk froth and... ice cubes!

Salon Einspänner: An aromatic double espresso topped with whipped cream and served with a wafer stick.

My absolute favorite coffee specialty is Mozart Kaffee. But you shouldn't just order it anywhere.
The way they prepare it at Mozart Café is unique:
double espresso with whipped cream, Mozart liqueur and almonds.
And, by the way, Café Mozart is where Graham Greene worked on the screenplay of "The third man" in 1947!
