Coffee Morning in September

Join us for the September Coffee Morning at Café Fotter. Café Fotter is one of the oldest cafes in Graz. It was
founded in 1936 and has lived through a few owners and renovations, but it is still a charming old-fashioned
Austrian café. There is a wonderful rose garden behind the house, if the weather is nice, we will be siting
outside.

HISTORY OF THE CAFÉ

The history of Café Fotter starts with Mr. Anton Fotter, who launched a bakery in Feldkirchen (Carinthia) in
1902.
The Fotter family then moved to Graz (Styria) in 1936, where they founded Anton Fotter's Bakery at
Attemsgasse 6. A memory from the bakery is still visible right next to the Café's entry, where two big marble
signs advertise various delicious bakery products from Anton Fotter's company. Inside Café Fotter you can still
see the bakeries original cash register as well as its shop interior.
In 1972 Getraud Fotter founded Café Fotter as an addition to bakery. It is one of the oldest, authentic Cafés in
Graz that has kept its original flair. The original 1930s interior as well as the Café's romantic rose garden offer
the perfect location for relaxation in the heart of the city.
In 2012 Beatrix Frodl and Jördis Waldhuber-Orac took over the proprietorship of the Café Fotter, preserving the
original charm of the Café with homemade pastries and cakes, baked fresh daily, as well as selected culinary
delights and Austrian coffee specialities.
In 2016 Franz Reiter and Simon Hauzenberger took over the proprietorship of the Café Fotter. They renovated
the Café, but it still has that old-fashioned feel.
