L. Heiner
Topfentorte
Sacherwurfel
Esterhazytorte
Historically the Royal Bavarian Court Supplier and Royal Court Confectioner KuK Hofzuckerbäcker L. Heiner dates back to roughly 1840 when Andreas Rabl took over a pre-existing Bakery, the eventual naming after grandson-in-law Ludwig Heiner occurring in 1883 and expansion since occurring into the sixth generation with six storefronts.
Best known for its space on Kaerntner Strasse, home to several Cakes and Confections offered beginning at 08h30, guests are invited to dine-in or order take-out, Heiner’s Topfentorte amongst the Café’s most recognized creations thanks to delicate Quark Mousse between Sponge Layers and a bit of Gelatin.
Happy to order Espresso with everything, the double-shot made from well-sourced Beans is best sipped black, additional Cakes include Hungary’s Esterhazy, named after a former diplomat to Austria featuring Fondant, Apricot Jam and an Almond Meringue far better than that at Aida.
Not about to omit Sacher Torte, in this case a cubed “Sacherwurfel” nearly the width of its Chocolate medallion, both taste and texture are similar to that of Café Sacher’s original version though the shell on all sides expectedly tilts this rendition a bit further towards Cocoa.
