A social-economic business run by the Diakoniewerk that we like to visit again and again. There is a cheap lunch menu as well as other dishes and good pastries. In Gallneukirchen, the cafe is on the ground floor of the Deaconesses' Haus Bethanie and in the vicinity of the Evangelical Parish Church. There are four locations in Austria. https://www.cafe-kowalski.at

The market square in Gallneukirchen is "moulting" - cafés, the ice cream parlor, one or the other concert on mild summer evenings. Invites you to linger, especially in the evening.
