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.

Coffee gifts and the ground-floor café
The shop’s coffee mugs, printed with the figure in the brand’s red fez, are a distinctive gift option. Klimt-patterned coffee tins are another choice. Plum compote, known as powidl, is sold here too and pairs with pancakes.
Beside the produce section on the ground floor, a stand-up café serves soup, sandwiches and antipasti. It is set up for a quick bite, rather than a full-service meal.
