Das Nashwerk reminded us of the quality you find in cafes at train stations and airports, yet the prices are on a scale with Vienna's best. Das Naschwerk looks very nice from outside. There...is a raised wooden platform with chairs and awnings. It is self-service and the only dining area staff do table busing. Inside is a far-less appealing dining area and a counter. They had about 10 different kinds of torte and another section with hand pastries like croissants and donuts. The counter person gave the impression that I was disturbing her reverie. Many of the torte were uncut and it was not clear what they were. There were more signs than cakes. When I asked which one was a particular listed one, she told me it was not there. I asked the same about a second one and was told (with some degree of annoyance in her voice) that the tags had nothing to do with what was there. I finally settled on two different offerings, a coffee and a cappuccino. After I took these to the table (in two trips as there were no trays) we tasted each other's items. The coffees were weak and low in taste. The torte were very light on taste and the cake dough undistinguished. Were the service not unfriendly, the cakes would still be below average. Combined, my rating is a low 2 points.

The longish room contains a few highchairs and tables (each for 2 persons) and the cake showcase. On weekend or public holdays the room may be crowded by customers waiting to...buy their goods. In case of warm weather there are also some tables (2-4 persons) on the terrace where you can sit. They also make showcakes for birthdays, weddings, etc. in any form, size or color. I have bought cakes here several times and we (me, my wife and my sun) have always been very satisfied with the quality of the cakes. I can recommend at least the cakes of this pastry/coffee shop. I never tried anything else, though.
