Manner Shop: A Sweet Slice of Vienna
Experience the sweet taste of Vienna at the Manner Shop, home of the iconic Neapolitan wafers since 1890.
The Manner Shop on Stephansplatz is more than just a candy store; it's an experience steeped in Viennese tradition. The shop's location is historically significant, as Josef Manner I, the company's founder, opened his first shop here in 1890. The store's design, created by BEHF Architects and BWM Architects, provides a contemporary contrast to the classical surroundings, with a design that evokes the feeling of being inside a chocolate bar. The shop offers the complete range of Manner products, including the famous Neapolitan wafers, Mozartkugeln chocolate balls, and Ildefonso nougat cubes. A unique feature is the daily delivery of fresh Manner Schnitten directly from the production line. Beyond the sweets, the shop also sells a variety of Manner-themed souvenirs, from t-shirts and backpacks to umbrellas and cycling jerseys. The Manner Schnitten, with their distinctive pink packaging featuring an image of St. Stephen's Cathedral, have achieved cult status in Austria. The company's connection to the cathedral is more than just symbolic; Manner has been paying the salary of a stonemason working on the cathedral for over 20 years, in exchange for the right to use the cathedral's image on its products. Visiting the Manner Shop offers a taste of Viennese history and a chance to indulge in a beloved local treat.
