Interest in places to relax, where you could have a delicious coffee and relax, has its roots in the era of the distant Middle Ages. It was then that the first Vienna Coffee House appeared. True, she was very far from modern institutions of this type. After a while, more suitable cafeterias began to open, which managed to preserve this mysterious historical atmosphere, combining it with refined and aromatic coffee, a cozy and welcoming design, and high-quality service. That is how a whole chain of coffee houses appeared under the brand name Coffeeshop Company . What kind of organization is this? What is on her menu? And where are the offices?
A few words about the distribution network
The well-known retail chain Coffeeshop Company was established in 1999 by Reinhold Scherf in Vienna (Austria). Under the strict guidance of this person, one of the first coffee houses of the future trading network was opened.
Who would have thought that soon the company would grow to such a grandiose size. To date, the network of Viennese coffee houses has opened its representative offices in more than 29 countries of the world, and the number of institutions with surprisingly tasty coffee has jumped to 304. Since recently, branded cafeterias began to open in Russia.
The network of Viennese coffee houses has opened in Russia
Reinhold Sherf for a long time just kept an eye on the Russian market. He studied potential competitors, did an analysis of pricing policy, etc. However, in addition to his great desire to conquer the capricious Russian public, the brand creator needed reliable, and most importantly, local partners.
And finally, in 2008, he managed to find them. As it turned out, they were representatives of a small company Coffee Set LLC. With the assistance of an experienced entrepreneur and a person, thanks to whom the world famous Vienna Coffee House appeared, managed to adapt foreign business to the realities of domestic manufacturers. As a result, European quality was skillfully transferred to the Russian bridgehead, which many lovers of delicious coffee have already appreciated.
Where can I find Viennese coffee houses?
The Vienna Coffee House has won the hearts of many connoisseurs of a wonderful atmosphere of comfort and exquisitely prepared coffee. Its representative offices were opened in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk, Yekaterinburg, Perm, Krasnodar, Chelyabinsk, Kemerovo, Kazan, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Nalchik, Nizhny Novgorod and other Russian cities.
For example, in Moscow alone there are over 20 coffee houses owned by this company. The Vienna coffee house on the Arbat is considered the most famous among them, or rather, there are two establishments here at once: on the Arbat, 1 and 21.
A representative office of the group of companies can also be found at Domodedovo Airport , 62 Rublevskoye Shosse (in the EuroPark shopping center), Leningrad Station, 5/7 Rozhdestvenka Street, 57 Kutuzovsky Prospekt (in the Oceania shopping center) and other places.

From Monday to Sunday, as many visitors say, this restaurant is open around the clock.
Cozy atmosphere and comfortable surroundings
No matter where the Vienna Coffee House was opened, this place cannot be confused with anything. All the company's cafeterias have a single design and an incredibly cozy atmosphere. According to the stories of many visitors, smiling and responsive employees, pleasant background music create it.
Design also plays a huge role in this welcoming environment. According to eyewitnesses, the interior of the cafe has warm brown and sand tones, beige and golden tones, closely interwoven with the texture of natural wood. Around you can see vases with fresh flowers, cozy upholstered furniture and light, non-irritating lighting. Plunging into such an atmosphere, you can safely communicate with friends, prepare for exams, solve global business issues and even make a romantic date.
What types of establishments are available in Russia?
Coffeeshop offers three options for establishments to Russian coffee fans:
- Lounge (located on the first floors of buildings and involves maintenance inside the cafeteria, taking into account a possible order with you).
- Base (such coffee shops are located on the territory of large shopping and entertainment centers and make it possible to enjoy orders inside and out).
- TO GO! (placed in places with a large flow of people and involves exclusively ordering coffee with you).

Many visitors to the coffee shop respond positively to cold drinks prepared according to a special recipe. For example, they liked Cappuccino Ice the most.

Is it expensive to have a meal in the cafeteria?
