 Willkommen to Kaffeehaus de Châtillon.

Kaffeehaus de Châtillon is  not   categorized as a coffeeshop nor a cafe of any sort.  Casual coffeeshop/cafe etiquette does not apply.

Kaffeehaus de Châtillon is the first ever & only Traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus in the entire Pacific Northwest and one of just a few in North America.

In 2011, Viennese Kaffeehaus Kultur was inducted and protected by the United Nations,  under the Parisian specialised bureau UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage Institution.

***In the Tradition & Inspiration of proper Viennese Kaffeehaus Kultur,  we   ONLY  cater to  Polite & Sophisticated Adult Clientele!***

We specialise in Old World Traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus Kaffee only!  Neither Italian nor Seattle/Sydney styled 3rd wave trendy fast-food coffee!

We proudly serve in true Viennese Kaffeehaus fashion:  Julius Meinl Kaffee & Demmers Fine Tee, directly imported from Wien.

Our Kaffee Menu is loosely based on the unique offerings of Cafe Landtmann, Cafe Hofburg,  Cafe Mozart and their sister satellites located within the historic 1st District of  Wien, Österreich.

We pay respectful homage to Viennese Kaffeehaus Kultur by our strict refusal to prepare any modern or common coffeeshop styled beverage, such as Caffe Latte,  Cafe Mocha,  Americano,  Drip Coffee,  Pour Over,  Cold Brew and definitely no frivolous Latte Art!

These considerations are contrarily subordinate to 300+years of Traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus Culture and directly Insulting to 900+years of Châtillonesque historie!

It would be frightfully bad form to abrogate over Three Centuries of Viennese Kaffeehaus Kultur for a mere 40 years of fatuous fast-food commonplace coffee!

To all visitors, foreign and domestic, Kaffeehaus de Châtillon strives to invoke a romantic emotional restoration of a lost and bygone era.  An opulent Viennese symphony should cerebrally play upon every distinguished guests arrival, whose perpetual tender strains may provoke all elegant women and men to tears. 

In its past, present and future, the Traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus Motif plays international host to Aficionados of High Culture,  Intellectuals,  Sophisticants,  Royalists,  Elites,  Beautiful People and of course the Sartorial Suitable.

  *We Only Accept Orders Directly Off Our Menu Exactly as Written!*

   *Viennoiserie & Torte Must be Ordered Exactly as Written!*

NOTE:  Viennese Kaffeehaus Tradition is based upon strict and rigid Rules and Order dating back to the early 18th Century.  These tenets, which are essential to maintaining proper Viennese Kaffeehaus standards are quite inflexible,  as Frau Ober or Herr Ober  remain the persnickety selectors of an individual’s contentment during their visit,  whilst also remaining conscious of ones  “State of Attire”.  Wien is a Quiet City and Kaffeehaus de Châtillon is a Quiet encounter.  Please remain Volume Conscious as elevated noise levels are a nuisance to distinguished visitors! 

Kaffeehaus Codes of Conduct may seem harsh & odd to the casual cafe or coffeeshop client,  but one must consider that a Traditional Viennese Kaffeehaus is another World of its own,  existing in another era,  far removed from the vulgarity of casualization.  Every drink & offering is steeped in centuries of elegant tradition.

So… a mild touch of Habsburg etiquette is always duly noted and greatly appreciated!

“But all things must be done properly and decently in an orderly manner.” ~ 1 Corinthians 14:40
