Melman's
A café in Hernals (the 17th district): Melman's. That puts it 3.5 km north-west of MuseumsQuartier Wien, far enough that you will want public transport. The address is Hernalser Hauptstraße 137, 1170 Wien.
Within walking distance: Leopold Brandstetter Wein und Bierhaus (1 min), Appartements Ferchergasse (4 min) and Padrino Caffe (5 min). If it is full or shut, the closest alternatives of the same kind are K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäcker L. Heiner, Hernals (3 min) and Cafe Scotch (5 min).
