Vienna's brunch scene welcomes a new addition as "Goldener Papagei," a well-loved breakfast establishment, opens its second location. Situated near the iconic Karlskirche, the new branch aims to build on the success of its original spot in the Praterstraße.
Owner Nathan Spasić, who also runs the "Gold Papa" coffee take-away, is introducing a slightly adjusted concept for the new venue. While continuing to serve popular items like sourdough bread with pea cream, granola, Turkish fried eggs, and shakshuka, Spasić indicated a desire for subtle differentiation from the first location.
"Many don't understand that a café also has to function economically," Spasić stated, highlighting the business realities behind the popular cafe culture.

The expansion signals confidence in the demand for quality breakfast and coffee offerings in the city.
