Drinking coffee in Vienna

Do you know that feeling when you find a place where you can sit for hours, hold a meeting, write a letter (by hand) to someone who appreciates you, watch that perfect movement of the human hand clasping a cup of coffee, slowly bringing it up to the mouth that sip the magic potion, wait a second until the palate signals its approval and then replace the cup back on the saucer that matches it perfectly?

I have found such a place in the city to which I keep going back and where I keep finding places that can instantly slow me down in this race that we call life.

 I'll return to this place. With my Traveler's Journal that doesn't leave my side and a pencil. Incredible ideas can sprout here and what delights me is the possibility that in a few years' time I will be able to remember it was here that they came to me.
