1 cup (medium) of Vienna coffee (180 g) has 126 calories. That works out to 70 calories per 100 g. It contains 11.7 g of carbs, 2.7 g of protein, 7.6 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of B2 covers 18% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Vienna coffee is associated with Austrian café culture. In this version, espresso is softened with hot milk and finished with a crown of whipped cream; cafés may vary the proportions or presentation. The result is richer and gentler than straight espresso, with the cream adding a light, airy finish.
In Austria it suits a leisurely café stop, often alongside a pastry, and English-speaking cafés elsewhere commonly serve it as an indulgent coffee break or after-meal drink. Milk and cream give it more energy than black coffee, while it remains modest in protein. If you would like a lighter cup, ask for less whipped cream; its smooth coffee-and-milk base still pairs well with a plain biscuit or a small pastry.

Vienna coffee, in this version, combines espresso, hot milk and whipped cream. The cream sits on top rather than being blended in, giving the drink its distinctive layered finish; recipes can vary by café.
Make Vienna coffee by pouring hot milk into espresso and topping it with whipped cream. Add the cream last so it remains a visible layer. If you do not have an espresso machine, use strongly brewed coffee instead.
No. Vienna coffee is made with espresso, hot milk and whipped cream, while a cappuccino is topped with steamed milk foam. The whipped cream gives Vienna coffee a richer, more dessert-like finish.
Whipped cream is part of the defining topping in this style of Vienna coffee. It adds a creamy contrast to the espresso and hot milk; substituting ordinary milk foam changes the texture and makes the drink less traditional.
No, the names usually refer to different preparations. A Viennese Melange is commonly made with coffee, hot milk and milk foam, whereas this Vienna coffee combines espresso and hot milk with whipped cream.
Vienna coffee is usually served hot, with warm espresso and milk beneath the whipped cream. Iced versions are possible, but chilling the drink or adding ice changes the traditional hot-and-creamy presentation.
Not necessarily. Vienna coffee gets its caffeine from the espresso, so the amount depends on how much espresso is used and how it is prepared. Milk and whipped cream do not remove the caffeine.
Yes, Vienna coffee can be made with decaf espresso while keeping its hot milk and whipped-cream topping. It will still taste creamy, though decaffeinated coffee may have a slightly different flavour from regular espresso.
Sugar is optional in Vienna coffee. The whipped cream softens the espresso’s bitterness, so many people enjoy it without added sugar; if you prefer it sweeter, stir sugar into the coffee before adding the cream.
Yes. Use a strong brew made with a moka pot or another coffee maker, then add hot milk and whipped cream. It will not have exactly the same espresso character, but it works as a home-style version.
