Oldest coffee house in Vienna?

I have heard a rumor, that the first coffee house that opened in Vienna is still in operation.
Does anyone know it's name or address?

It's not the oldest, but pretty old, you might like Cafe Central. It's very famous, a lot of well-known people used to go there (Freud, Trotsky), but it is also a nice, attractive spot. I think it has a lot more ambience than Frauen Huber.

We love the Cafe Central. When we lived in Vienna, I went every chance I could. Loved to show it to visitors.

When we were there last September, we had a delicious lunch and a lovely Mohr im Hemp for dessert. Perfection!

Thank you for your recommendations. I'm going to try them both! Can't go wrong with either one!
BettyK, I just finished looking at "memories of Austria", and about to start "magic of Poland". My family is from there, and we're going to Poland right after Vienna and Prague.
I wish I could pick your brain a little more...

Please do not ask for Mohr im Hemp- as shown above.

This fine dish is known as - Mohr im Hemd.

Vienna is filled with fine traditional cafes many dating back to the 1800s

some I like

Cafe Sperl
www.cafesperl.at

just off Mariahilferstrasse

Cafe Griensteidl

www.cafegriensteidl.at

fully non smoking - outdor tables in summer .
On Michaelerplatz across from the Hofburg Palace

Cafe Landtmann

www.landtmann.at ?

On the Ring - across from the Rathaus/ City Hall

fine outdoor garden - dates back to 1800s - very popular

has sister cafes Mozart etc.

cafe Weimar

www.cafeweimar.at

Near Volksoper

fine piano music in the evening

many more too.

These cafes mentioned, can you just walk in, even for dinners, without reservation?
