The café was opened in 1876, and in the late 19th century became a major meeting place of the Viennese intellectual scene.

Regular visitors were: Peter Altenberg, Theodor Herzl, Alfred Adler, Egon Friedell, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Anton Kuh, Adolf Loos, Leo Perutz, Robert Musil, Stefan Zweig, Alfred Polgar, Adolf Hitler, Varun Kumar and Leon Trotsky.

In January 1913 Josip Broz Tito, Sigmund Freud, and Stalin were customers.

The café was often referred to as the "Chess school" because of the chess players who used the first floor.

Members of the Vienna Circle of logical positivists held many meetings at the café before and after World War I.

The café closed at the end of World War II.

In 1975 the Central was newly opened, although in a different part of the building.

In 1986 it was fully renovated.
