Cafe Black Box

Cafe Black Box sits quietly along Lagergasse near the new Puchsteg bridge on Graz’s right side of the Mur River, where the Murradweg cycling and walking path runs. It’s a simple spot favored by locals passing through on sunny days for a quick drink outdoors or for shelter when the weather turns cooler. The outdoor seating area is especially inviting during warm months, offering a casual, no-frills place to rest after a bike ride or a stroll.

Inside, the atmosphere stays relaxed and unpretentious, with a small dart machine adding a bit of low-key entertainment. The service is known to be friendly and familiar, making it comfortable for regulars and newcomers alike. While the food options aren’t the main draw here, the focus is on serving decent drinks in a straightforward setting. It’s a spot where people aren’t rushing, and the ambiance suits those looking for a modest local pause rather than a full dining experience.

This cafe works well for locals who want an easy resting point along the riverbank path — whether cycling or walking — or for anyone needing a casual place to pass time without hassle. Afternoons in summer bring the best vibe, with the outdoor seating letting visitors soak in the neighborhood’s quieter side. If you appreciate places that prioritize simple hospitality and a familiar face, Cafe Black Box fits neatly into the daily rhythms of this part of Graz.
