7Felzl (Lerchenfelder Straße)
Felzl is a popular new-wave bakery chain in Vienna with famously delicious almond croissants. Yes: tender and crispy and filled with a rich paste. The morning pastries and sandwiches are also generously portioned and tasty. My go-to is their Lerchenfelder Straße location, with soaring ceilings, plenty of seating, and giant windows that overlook this lively street. And overlook, too, the Altlerchenfelder Parish Church, the first Romantic-style building in Vienna with a wonderful fresco cycle inside.
