Allgemein
Allgemein is a café in the 13th district, in the Hietzing & Schönbrunn area. That puts it 3.1 km south-west of Schönbrunn Palace, far enough that you will want public transport. The address is Wolkersbergenstraße 22-24/1, R01, 1130 Wien.
A short walk away: Gasthaus Waldtzeile (5 min), Hietzing Cemetery (20 min) and Am Spiegeln dialog.hotel.wien (20 min). If it is full or shut, the closest alternatives of the same kind are Nook Café (30 min) and Waldemar-Tagesbar (30 min).
It is closed on Mondays and shuts early, in the afternoon. Across the week it opens as early as 09:00 and closes as late as 16:00. It holds 4.7 out of 5 from 320 Google reviews — a modest number of reviews. It is the highest-rated of the cafés we list in Hietzing & Schönbrunn.

The classic order is a Melange — espresso with steamed milk and foam, Vienna's cousin of the cappuccino — which arrives with a glass of water, often refilled without asking. In a traditional Viennese coffee house nobody hurries you: one coffee buys you hours and the house newspapers. When you want the bill, say "Zahlen, bitte" and pay at the table.
