A little comfy and cosy cafe. The food is homely, and coffee is aromatic. The server is very courteous and friendly. I'll be back definitely when in city again.

got their vegan babka and americano (hot) - I quite liked it. It was on a bitter end, balanced flavour. Nicely enough a person working there asked me if I’d like a light or dark roast. They spoke great English and were very nice!! Inside is cute and light, would come here to stay inside too

Even more lovely than expected! A calm and quiet space, in spite of being next to a busy road—a neat little spot to gather your thoughts. The design of the cups and glasses and the music adds to the calm atmosphere. The upstairs section is larger than expected (than in other similar cafes we've been to in Budapest). There are sockets, but no wifi (it seems). The lady was really friendly, the coffee was delicious and so was the brownie. ALSO: Brownies & babka are vegan! I (we) will very likely be back, maybe this time adventurous enough to try the blond roast, instead of the dark one.
