Cafe Schmid - Waidring

I have been visiting the village of Waidring for the past eighteen years and the very first place we go to on arrival is Cafe Schmid. Without fail, as soon as we walk in, without any prior notice of our arrival, my husband's favourite coffee...and cake is put in front of him! Now that's what I call excellent customer service! The cafe is spotlessly clean and although small, there is plenty of outdoor seating. It is extremely popular with the locals, who buy the cakes and take them home. The portions are very large and many people find they need to share a piece of cake. In fact many new customers take photos of the cakes as they've never seen anything like them. We time our very long days out for the day the cafe is closed, as we always get back in time for cake! The problem is, when we go out for the day we won't eat cake elsewhere as nowhere is as good as Cafe Schmid.

This is a famous tea/coffee shop/kitchen sky in the middle of Waidring. People travel from miles to taste their amazing cakes. It is quite small and cozy with some outdoor seats in good weather. You go in and choose your cake and you will be served with what can only be described as a huge piece of delicious heaven! The portions are unbelievable and difficult to finish, but so tasty that you are on soldiers! Amazing!

A tiny coffe shop in the middle of town with the biggest pieces of cake I've ever seen and the best I've ever eaten! One piece lasted for 3. Wonderful smell of coffin and no cigars! The young waiter is... very friendly! And if the small room is overcrowded, you can go the cake!

Slices of cakes are Huge, but very tasty in this cafe in the city centre. The staff was friendly when we came to drink, and cake...off course. In Austria there is only one law that has not yet been implemented and forbids people to smoke in public places. It wasn't overcrowded, and only a smoker. The smell can basically ruin the taste of the super cakes. Just a pity. Nevertheless, I can recommend going here.

If I could have eaten more I would have! Cannot believe I did not take pictures! We all devoured the sweet bakery treats! The apple strudel was wonderful. Then a few whip cream/fruit/sponge cake type desserts. Good thing I do not live here or I...would be here every day!
