Vienna’s Vollpension Cafe Is Like a Visit to Grandma’s House
The cafe brings together elderly bakers who need jobs with younger generations seeking nostalgic comfort food.
Kathrin, a 68-year-old former nurse, applied for a job as a baker at Vollpension in Vienna, Austria, in 2017, after her niece told her about it. She was hired and has been baking there for eight years, following her mother-in-law’s recipes and experimenting with new ideas.
“how much fun work can be, even at my age”
Kathrin has made friends at Vollpension, including Margit, and enjoys working at the cafe, where she can share her love of baking with others.
