Aïda Café-Konditorei is one of Vienna’s most recognizable confectionery café chains, with a history dating back to 1913, when Josef Prousek and his wife Rosa took over the confectionery shop “Bonsaing & Söhne” in Vienna. The Aïda brand developed more distinctly from 1921, when production began in Porzellangasse and the business became “Chocolaterie & Grosskonditorei Aïda.” During the 1930s, the company expanded across Vienna, reaching 11 locations in the city by 1939.
