Melbourne-Inspired Coffee Culture at Ratio Coffee, Salzburg

Ratio Coffee is a cozy, hip café that opens early at 8 a.m., making it a great spot for both locals and travelers looking for a quality caffeine fix in Salzburg.

The owner, Brent Nicoll, a passionate coffee enthusiast from Melbourne, Australia, aimed to bring Melbourne’s renowned coffee culture to Salzburg. As a third-wave specialty coffee shop, Ratio focuses on high-quality, single-origin coffee and precise brewing methods to deliver a superior coffee experience. Ratio Coffee also sells a curated selection of coffee beans and brewing equipment for home brewers.

The café offers a simple yet satisfying selection of pastries and cakes to complement its coffee. The croissant was buttery and soft—lacking the classic crusty exterior but still enjoyable. The coffee itself was bold and aromatic, served in a charming ceramic cup that added to the cozy ambiance.

Kanso Coffee Lab: A Hidden Courtyard Gem for Coffee Enthusiasts

Kanso Coffee Lab is a specialty coffee shop tucked away in a charming courtyard near Max-Joseph-Platz—a true hidden gem. The indoor space, though small, is thoughtfully designed with a minimalist aesthetic that feels both modern and inviting. However, the real charm lies in the courtyard, where cozy seating invites you to relax and enjoy your coffee in a tranquil outdoor setting.

Kanso Coffee Lab opens its doors early at 8 a.m., allowing you to savor a cup of freshly brewed coffee before it gets busy—a perfect way to start your day on a peaceful note. The service at Kanso is warm and welcoming, with a friendly barista who takes pride in their craft.

During my visit, I ordered a flat white with oat milk, and it exceeded my expectations. It was expertly crafted with a velvety texture and rich flavor and arrived with stunning latte art that added an extra touch of beauty to the experience.

If you appreciate a well-made cup of coffee like me, Kanso Coffee Lab is a must-visit destination.
