The confectionery continued to continue to be a family business of the Zauners, which in 1927 opened the Esplanade Zauner cafe, which became a favorite meeting place for famous composers Franz Lehar , Leo Fall , singers Leo Slezak and Richard Tauber , as well as many writers. According to legend, Franz Lehar paid his bills in a coffee shop with hastily composed songs.

When Kurt, the patisserie gained additional fame. Working at the Zauner confectionery, Kurt creates a recipe for his famous Ishl cakes . After the death of Kurt, his wife managed the pastry shop. In 1982, she regained the name Tauner and in 1987 adopted Joseph, who also became a famous pastry chef and is engaged in teaching and working on television.
