Anker (Opera)
Founded in 1891, Anker is Vienna’s largest bakery chain. Chances are that you’ve already passed one of its 92 locations, each with a prominent red and white sign. Given Anker’s reach, its products and prices target the taste and the wallet of the median consumer, that is to say: the pastries are solid and affordable. Of special note are the ground-walnut-filled Nussbeugerls and the delicious apple strudels. This location, in a side street off the Vienna Opera, is central and light-filled and usually not too busy. And open on Sundays.
