Café, Bistro, and Cultural Space in the City's Oldest Building
Located right in the heart of Bruck an der Leitha’s historic main square, “Das Herzstück vom Petznek” combines time-honored coffeehouse culture with modern flair and a regional way of life. In the historic ambiance of the town’s oldest building, the Herzstück invites you to enjoy yourself all day long: from a variety of breakfast options and delicate “Herzstückchen” regional tapas to homemade pastries and cakes from our own bakery, all the way to 12 varieties of homemade ice cream.
Special emphasis is placed on authentic regional ingredients—the menu features organic wild coffee from Zwickelstorfer in Pachfurth, exquisite wines from the Junge Römer in Carnuntum, and specialties produced by local producers.
A real highlight is the versatile “Spielraum”: During the day, it’s a popular gathering spot for families with a lovingly designed indoor children’s play area; in the evenings, it regularly transforms into an intimate cabaret stage for weekly “Culture Thursdays” (concerts, readings, cabaret). During the warmer months, the spacious outdoor seating area right on the main square also invites you to linger.
