Sacher Confiserie and Sacher Eck

The Sacher shop beside the hotel sells the Original Sacher-Torte in its wooden box in three sizes, and the Sacher Eck on the corner serves it by the slice with a shorter queue than the café.

The confiserie on the Kärntner Strasse corner of the hotel sells the torte the way the world knows it: in a wooden box with the round seal, in three sizes, beside Sacher chocolates, coffee and the hotel’s cakes. The Sacher Eck next door is the casual café of the house, with the same torte, the same whipped cream and the same Melange, and seats that turn faster than the red salon.

Buy the torte here rather than at the airport: same box, better price, and the smallest size fits hand luggage.
