This popular chain of bakeries is found all over Austria, but is especially prominent in Vienna. If you are feeling the urge for a breakfast, sandwich, snack, or sweet, look for one of the bright red signs that are ever present in Vienna.
Anker may not be the best in the baked goods department, but they seem to bake a wide variety of fresh items that are consistently tasty. I had a small ham sandwich with a cheesy bread that was simple yet heartily delicious. It was not an enormous sandwich, so you will still have room for one of the many scrumptious pastries on display. The delicate chocolate mousse cake is no Sacher Torte, but it is light and not overly sweet. The fruit danishes are very good, chewy, and flaky at the same time.
Vienna is famous for its coffee, but you can get a budget cup here. There is a decent selection of sodas and juices available. Promotional placards were heavily pushing a new fizzy water with lemongrass flavor, which had a light and vaguely ginger ale flavor to it.
The goods are mostly geared for the take-away market, and they will gladly wrap your purchases for you. Some outlets will have a few tables for a quick bite, but some are purely take-away stands in busy train stations and street corners.
