Gorgeous historic building with cozy wood paneled walls. A perfect spot for a Viennese dessert and a coffee. The chocolate hazelnut mouse cake was pure heaven. Had the creamy spatzle which was divine.

Quiet, elegant cafe in Neue Gallerie. Old European ambiance. A Gilded Age mansion. Go to the museum to see the art, especially Klimt's Lady in Gold. Food delicious, service very nice.

My first time trying Austrian food - surprisingly good! Beef stew - the beef is cooked well and the sauce can be felt from inside out. Sausage - tender and nice; and I especially like the cabbage with it Trout crepe - unique texture; the combination of sweet and savory is well balanced; and the addition of cucumber makes it more refreshing Crepe soufflé- in the warm dessert section. Fluffy but not over sweet which I like a lot!

This is definitely more of a light breakfast/brunch/lunch place for me - even though their hours are open till 6 or 9 PM (depending on day). The portions are on the smaller side and their prices are on the higher side - hence the "if you're looking for something light". But like the Ralph's Cafe - you're not here to eat for fullness but more for ambiance - the decor is very old world charm and the way the wait staff dress gives you a sense of a very high class cafe. It's very good for the experience and to also stop in to see the Neue Gallery. My suggestion would be to eat their for breakfast then stop into the gallery once it's open. Even though the food was small the food was still very delicious - got myself a crepe with apricot and an expresso with foam and cream and both came out delightful.

This darling spot inside the Neue Galerie was the perfect lunch spot on a lovely New York afternoon. The service was attentive and helpful. The ambiance was as delightful as you might expect in a museum cafe. I had the goulash and my daughter had the asparagus cream soup. Both were exceptional. For desert we shared the pistachio chocolate mousse cake and it was absolutely wonderful. I'd pop back in here for brunch or lunch any day of the week. So yummy.

Cafe Sabarsky has been on my list for years, recommended to me by a few people. Located inside the Neue Galerie, it's a very classy, cozy cafe that serves cakes for breakfast! It's Austrian/German. There was already a line before they even opened, and you enter separately (no museum visit needed) and do a security check. I had to throw away my water - so just FYI. The location is great as it's across from Central Park and close to the MET and Guggenheim. I came with my friend that new the routine, so we both ordered the Palatschinken mit Räucherforelle & Oberskren - a Chilled Smoked Trout Crêpes & Horseradish Crème Fraîche. It's delightful and since it's a smaller entree, we also shared the Zwei weiche Eier im Glas mit Brioche - Two soft - boiled Eggs in a Glass & Brioche. The coffee here is STRONG and $9 a glass, it's elegant, and I had two. No room for cake here but definitely want to come back and try to get in line for lunch (they have some similar offeriengs) but I think it's a great spot for breakfast and set the mood for your tour of NYC.

I went with a friend who had been before and when she went there was a line all the way outside. Luckily we only had to wait in line inside, and it was maybe 15 minutes on a Sunday around 3:30 pm. We were going for dessert, but some of the savory plates around us looked good as well. We saw the beet salad and the sausages with spaetleze that looked tempting! My friend had previously has the quark cheesecake and recommended it, but we chose to try new things. The hazelnut and chocolate cake was very rich and heavy, while the cherry and chocolate cake was fluffy and light, yet also decadent. The interior was very a very cute cafe! If you're in the area wanting a special treat and don't mind waiting, it's a nice stop.
