The Nonntal location of Salzburg's 220 Grad specialty coffee brand sits in a residential district that most visitors never reach. It serves the neighbourhood between the Altstadt and Nonnberg Abbey, and the clientele are largely locals rather than tourists.
The Story
220 Grad is the coffee brand that established Salzburg as a serious destination for specialty coffee. The Nonntal branch, at Nonntaler Hauptstraße 9A, is the quietest and most local-facing of the chain's locations. The surrounding district is residential: hospital workers, students, and people who live nearby rather than people ticking off sights.
The café follows the standard 220 Grad format: espresso-based drinks and pour-over prepared to a consistent, careful standard. The interior is compact and functional, without the architectural ambition of the Rupertinum location or the foot traffic of the Altstadt branches. That is the point.
For visitors who want a good coffee away from the main tourist circuit, this is the straightforward option south of the city centre. It pairs naturally with a visit to Nonnberg Abbey, a five-minute walk uphill.
