Caffè a Casa

Everything poured at Caffè a Casa was roasted by the same team a few days earlier in Klosterneuburg, just outside Vienna, which makes the bar the front counter of a roastery rather than a café that buys in beans.

A roastery counter, not a general café

The house describes itself as roastery, coffee bar and online shop in one, and that order of priorities is the right one. The beans are 100% arabica, roasted personally and weekly, and the same coffee shapes both the espresso in the cup and the bags on the shelf. The operation reaches further than the counter, into retail, subscriptions and wholesale supply, so the bar is one visible part of a larger coffee business.

The public thread goes back to 2011, when the brand began making handcrafted specialty coffee in Vienna. Klosterneuburg roasting is the clearest identity detail it has, and the weekly schedule is what keeps the house flavour consistent across café service and retail.

A compact stop with a coffee-first rhythm

The rhythm is coffee first and everything else after. It feels like a compact specialty bar rather than an all-day dining room: order a coffee, look at the beans, let the roasting programme define the visit.

The range gives that some structure. Coffees are sorted into single origins, blends, sample sets and subscriptions including a roaster's pick, and then sorted again by how you intend to brew them, with separate recommendations for super-automatic machines, portafilters, filter and French press. Cupping and hand-filter workshops sit beside the service for anyone who wants to go further than a cup.

Order the espresso or a cappuccino

Start with an espresso for the clearest read on the roasting. A cappuccino is the softer opening if a milk drink is more your speed, and it still gives you a house-roasted coffee rather than an anonymous café blend.

The retail list gives concrete names to look for. Among the best sellers are CaC Blend #15 Anniversary Blend, CaC Blend #3 House Blend, CaC Blend #6 Espresso Blend and single origins including Brazil Araponga Fazenda Dutra, El Salvador Finca Las Nubes, Costa Rica Tarrazu San Rafael and Colombia Santa Marta Sierra Nevada, several of them organic. Bags, sample sets and subscriptions all come out of the same roastery as the shot at the bar.
