After a hectic and miserable long work week, it was a perfect weekend brunch for me on Saturday upstairs at the Neue Galerie before seeing the Klimt exhibition. Just sitting by the window, watching the people in Central Park, this café gives you an affordable quick European trip or the feeling of being an Upper East Side lady (or gentleman) like Jackie Kennedy Onassis. I had the Avocado Salad with crabmeat and cherry tomatoes ($18) and 1900 Vienna tea ($6.00) on a silver tray. The café is covered in dark wood paneling, a dark wood floor and a big antique marble fireplace; the chairs are Vienna style black bentwood. The portions are pretty small, but it is beautiful and elegant. The fresh baked breads were served with the food. The waiter was kind of rushing us to leave because there was a long line after Noon. When we were there, they were having a credit card machine problem and we had pay in cash. If it was working, we probably would have had dessert too. The building itself is rich and beautiful, and this café gives you an appreciation of good taste of art, culture and atmosphere.

After waiting in line for about 15 minutes, along with other Sunday afternoon coffee & desert seekers, we were seated in a lovely corner booth, with plush comfortable seating. I ordered the caffe creme & the Napolean torte. This is truly some of the best coffee I have ever had. The torte was absolutely divine & was served with a dollop of heavenly whipped cream. The dark mahogony tables & paneling made it feel very cozy on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The crowd was a good mix of people. Lots of Sunday times readers, couples, and desert afficianados. All of the deserts were delicious. Very authentic German & Austrian food on the main menu as well. Service was good, although we didn't necessarily have one waiter the whole time. Overall, we had a great experience here & would go back any time.
