Traditional Vienna coffee roaster Julius Meinl opens coffee house in Chicago. Combining the best of Vienna's coffee house culture and exquisite products, Julius Meinl, the No 1 Vienna coffee roaster, Sunday November 10th opens its new-style coffee house in Chicago. Julius Meinl (pronounced MY'nl) set up his first coffee shop in the center of Vienna in 1862.

His innovative idea was to roast coffee in the shop. Before then coffee was roasted at home on the kitchen stove and often burnt. In the following years, Julius Meinl built his business continually and soon became Vienna's leading coffee roaster. The know-how of Julius Meinl, where coffee has been roasted for more than 140 years, is reflected not only in each cup of Meinl coffee but also in today's product philosophy: quality and tradition together with latest production techniques.

Over the years, the Julius Meinl brand has become a well known name in Vienna and Central Europe. No other brand is so totally associated with traditional Vienna coffee house culture. It is a symbol for top quality and outstanding taste. Most leading Vienna coffee houses serve Julius Meinl Coffee. The typical Vienna Coffee House offers a lot to everyone. People come to meet, to read, to see and to be seen. And all come for the coffee, which is served in many different ways.

With the opening of its first coffee shop in Chicago, Julius Meinl brings the flair of a typical Vienna coffee house to the United States. Our coffees, teas and jams come to you directly from Vienna, as do the pastries for which Vienna is famous. The new Meinl Coffee shop at Southport and Addison on Chicago's North Side was created by Austrian company Lorenz & Co. which specializes in coffee house interior design. All furniture and fixtures were built in their special workshops near Vienna and shipped to Chicago.

Come visit us and experience a new coffee house sensation.
