Edegger-Tax bakery, Historical bakery in Graz, Austria
Edegger-Tax stands on Hofgasse with a beautifully carved wooden storefront crowned by a gilded double-headed eagle above the entrance. The business merges a bakery and coffeehouse in one protected building.
Founded in 1569, the bakery relocated to its current address in 1880 and received an Imperial Warrant of Appointment in 1888. This recognition sealed its role as a supplier to the Habsburg court.
The name reflects two families who shaped the business, and the recipes connected to the Habsburg monarchy remain visible through specialties like Sissi-Busserl and Kaiserzwieback biscuits still baked here. These items let visitors taste a piece of imperial tradition.
The shop sits on Hofgasse in central Graz and is easy to spot with its carved wooden entrance clearly marked. Visiting on weekdays ensures access to the full range of fresh-baked breads and pastries.
The bakery operates a branch in Japan where it continues to sell bread based on recipes originally created for the Habsburg family. This makes it the only place outside Austria preserving this particular legacy.
