4CoffeePirates
Located right across the University of Vienna's enormous Baroque-era campus in District 9, CoffeePirates is a lively hub of self-consciously chic students. Opened in 2012, Pirates was among the first specialty cafes and roasteries in the city and it’s still going so strong that finding a seat at this spacious and high-volume operation can be a challenge. If the baristas show you a bit of an attitude, rest assured knowing you’re not alone. Lingering is welcome, wifi available, prices a little steep.
