Julius Meinl am Graben is a gourmet grocery and delicatessen at Graben 19, in central Vienna. Browse Austrian wines, cheeses, chocolates, coffee, tea and other specialty foods, or pick up a gift such as a Klimt-patterned coffee tin or the shop’s distinctive coffee mugs. On the ground floor, a stand-up café serves soups, sandwiches and antipasti near the produce section. Prices are high, so this suits a special food shop or a quick stop for a treat more than a budget grocery run.
