Welcome to your second home.
THE CREW
Four personalities. One Zweitwohnsitz. And the heart of the café.
01 / 04 — THE WOMAN BEHIND IT ALL
Host, owner
After tourism school, I first headed out into the big wide world. Many years, many countries, countless encounters and stories later, my path led me back to Bad Ischl.
“Treat yourself to a little break from everyday life.”
Here in my Zweitwohnsitz, I want to take a step back with you. To refocus on the things that really matter.
On the joy of life, humour and the art of delighting in the little things.
Because here, it’s not the heart ON the coffee that counts, but the heart IN THE CAFÉ.
What did I learn on my travels? That sometimes you have to go far away to realise how special the thing right in front of your own nose really is.
And the best place to get to know a city is where its people come together: the coffeehouse.
This is where tradition meets humour, where you can hear a city live, strike up a conversation and occasionally shuffle a little closer together. That, to me, is true coffeehouse culture.
02 / 04 · THE CHARM
COSI
Service
Here from the very beginning. Cosi belongs to the Zweitwohnsitz like coffee belongs in a cup. Warm, attentive and always at the heart of things.
“Sunshine meets steady nerves. Even when everything around her gets hectic, Cosima never loses her smile or her sense of perspective. And that’s exactly what makes her so special.”
With the Zweitwohnsitz, I wanted to create exactly such a place.
A little bridge between the locals who live here and fill this region with life, and those visitors who are curious to discover this little part of the Salzkammergut.
03 / 04 · THE BREAKFAST QUEEN
ANNA
Breakfast
Anna makes sure every morning at the Zweitwohnsitz gets off to a wonderful start. With love for detail and a feel for everything that makes breakfast special.
“Our breakfast fairy and a true rock. No matter how turbulent the morning gets, Anna stays calm. Always helpful, always ready to listen. Someone you can rely on, with a warmth that is truly second to none – that’s Anna.”
And sometimes the world is allowed to slow down a little. Especially in an everyday life that already asks so much of us.
Taking time, savouring, laughing together and learning to appreciate the little things again.
In culinary terms, too, I believe that less is sometimes more. You don't need a menu with a hundred pages. Better a few, filled with love, chosen with care and made with heart.
04 / 04 · THE POWERHOUSE
SPEEDY
Service
An organising talent and a doer through and through. Madeleine brings pace, perspective and plenty of energy to everyday café life.
“Steady nerves and professionalism have a name: Speedy! A hospitality pro with her heart in the right place, an organising talent and a doer through and through. And her humour? That’s in a league of its own.”
