(Translated by Google) The coffees and cakes were delicious. From the latter, there was little supply and we received "child rations." After we sat down at our place (the restaurant was dark and airless, the air conditioning didn’t go either) the other bartender girl took out a bunch of cookies in advance. They could have said that there are other kinds of sweets "on the back, hidden". It wasn't very customer friendly. The women’s sink didn’t work, so everyone went to the man, which resulted in pretty awkward situations. It’s just “icing on the cake” that unlike their other cafes, they don’t accept the NICE card here. Why not ?? From now on, we will go back to our well-proven place, where it is not an obstacle + there is also natural sunlight and ventilation. (Original) A kávék és a sütemények finomak voltak. Ez utóbbiból alig volt kínálat és "gyermek-adagokat" kaptunk. Miután leültünk a helyünkre (az étterem sötét volt és levegőtlen, a klíma sem ment) a másik pultos lány egy rakás sütit vitt ki előre. Mondhatták volna, hogy van még másfajta édesség "hátul, elrejtve". Ez nem volt túl vevőbarát. A női mosdó nem működött, így a férfiba ment mindenki, ami elég kínos helyzeteket eredményezett. Az már csak "hab a tortán", hogy a többi kávézójukkal ellentétben itt nem fogadják el a SZÉP kártyát. Miért is nem?? A továbbiakban inkább az eddig jól bevált helyünkre megyünk vissza, ahol ez nem akadály + van természetes napfény és szellőzés is.

We discovered this place by accident and it’s probably the best coffee place in Budapest. Concept of this place is that they offer coffee variations from all of the world with authentic ingredients and preparation - for instance beduin coffee made on a hot sand. You can select from Italian, French, Latin-American, Arabic and more. Non-coffee drinkers can select hot chocolate variations or some loose leaf tea. The place has very cozy atmosphere. I strongly recommend Nicaraguan tobacco coffee which is really specific. You can also buy some whole bean coffee - flavored or single origin.

Check out the Armenian orange coffee here. It’s a Turkish-style coffee with orange peels for that extra kick and zest, truly a unique combo

(Translated by Google) I like the concept. (Original) Tetszik a koncepció.

Fantastic cafe! They make probably the best coffee in the city. The taste is great, the ambient is good. I will definitely return again.

This place probably has more coffee selections than a Starbucks Reserve. Quirky, chill, friendly, and not very busy. Perfect place to hang out with a book or a date. Very reasonable prices too (700-1000 HUF). Recommended: flat white, Ethiopian ice caramel ginger latte. Not recommended: Casablanca cream mint latte (watery).

What a great idea for a cafe! Definitely stop by to try one of the so many varieties of coffee they serve from all over the world. The coffee is delicious and not expensive at all! It was great to try coffees from Bora Bora, Japan and Rio. If we went there on our first day of the Budapest trip we would be going back there every day but we only tried it on the last day of our trip.

For people who loves coffee, this place is a complete dream! The menu is huge and it's kind complicated to decide which coffee to try. From different places, different combinations and for every taste. I asked for an Arabic Coffee - Gahwa, and it was completely amazing! The Saigon Apple-Caramel was the perfect match. The place is cozy and colorful. A great experience.

(Translated by Google) The Bedouin coffee we asked for was like a water espresso, there was nothing cardamom in it, it was “brewed” for 1 minute. When we went there that it wasn’t quite like what we drank last time, the barista was outraged and put in an extra spoonful of white powder so it would taste like that then. Because we didn’t want to tease, we accepted, but the barista’s attitude was outrageous. We're not going there anymore. (Original) A beduin kávé amit kértünk olyan volt mint egy vizes presszó, semmi kardamon nem volt benne, 1 percig “főzték”. Mikor odamentünk, hogy ez nem teljesen olyan mint amit múltkor ittunk, a barista fel volt háborodva és egy plussz kanál fehér port belerakott, hogy így akkor olyan íze lesz. Mivel nem akartunk kötekedni elfogadtuk, de a barista hozzáállása felháborító volt. Többet nem megyünk oda.

We love this coffeeshop. The staff is very kind.

(Translated by Google) The chocolate coffee was delicious 😀 (Original) Finom volt a csokis kávé 😀

Very nice and cosy cafe, great selection of coffees and cakes at reasonable prices. Would definitely come back again.

Excellent collection of coffee, tea, with liqueur, hot and cold. They have coffees from all across the world. The place is packed with people. We ordered a couple of drinks of get an idea of what the whole hype is. But everything was really good. This place also has some yum desserts.

Great place, friendly staff, lots of interesting options.

Super impressive. Quite a decent price range and the variety blew my mind. It's a lovely place to chill out for an hour or two while ur taking a break between sightseeing. Double thumbs up. Kudos to the concept.

Best type of coffee shop! You can travel the World by drinking different type of coffee from all around the globe! I wish Florida had coffee shops like this!

The place looks dull from the outside, we almost skipped over it in search for coffe. Lucky we didn't. The place has a ton of interesting coffee blends, the coffee itself is rich and well made, the little patisserie is also well executed. Prices are great. Only possible drawback is the place is self service (we didn't mind)

Great place to experience a wide selection of coffees from around the world. Perfect place to stop and rest if you are exploring this part of the city.

The serious art of coffee, I recommend first go to a table and start reading the menu book, so many wonderful choices. Not for 'in a hurry' times, slow down and enjoy.

It’s an incredible place! You can choose from cafes all over the world, the staff is really kind and they wait until you decide what to order (it can take a long time bc of the many options!) the place is super cozy and the coffee was delicious! I asked for a Costa Rica coconut coffee, best pick ever!

cute place to hang out. It is quiet corner near the Parliament.

Beautiful place, very cozy and colourful ambiance. The servers are super friendly. We ordered a white hot chocolate and Arabian coffee (gahwa), which were both very tasty. Probably one of the nicest Cafe Frei-s I have been in Budapest.

Very good "Gahwa".

I definitely recommend this place! Very nice staff which is willing to help you. Delicious coffee and many options to choose!

Something for everyone, whether it be a health concoction, Italian/French/Latin/Arab/American/Japanese coffee, or hot chocolate from around the world. All of ours were well made and the shop had ample seating. Ask for a brochure in your language, sit awhile to decide and enjoy.

I came here for a coffee. I have never been here before so it was a bit difficult for me to choose among the coffees and types. The lady at the bar was super friendly and helpful, so I chose a frappe. It was very delicious and nice taste. The coconut and the lemon flavor were not too much it was perfectly enough. I am pretty sure I will be back to taste more coffee.

Love this place, some very special coffee from around the world ...

Really delicious iced coffee. The menu was really confusing with different options available in different languages but the pastry and drinks were great.

I've had coffee at Cafe Frei before and it still doesn't disappoint! The variety of choices is massive and especially they are devided by country as well, I think it's a nice touch for the ones that have an adventurous spirit! Even just for the experience is really worth it, but what I'd DEFINITELY RECOMMEND would be the Tabaco Coffee ☕ it's divine! The atmosphere was alright mainly because it was filled with people, but nevertheless we found a really nice spot!

The place is clean, the prices there are fine and the staff members are nice. On the other hand, we didn't like that the plates we were to use were just taken in front of us from the dishwasher, and the remaining dirt was wiped off just using a paper tissue. Also, we recommend taking better care of the restrooms.

This place offered really interesting espresso-based coffee options. We had the an iced coffee infused with orange (syrup), iced tea and hot cocoa. So good I'm still thinking about it 3 weeks later. Wanted to go back once more but never made it.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this cafe. Honestly, the Americano I ordered was one of the worst I've ever been served. The beans were probably either low quality, stale or poorly roasted. It tasted like only a single shot was used, which was stretched with too much water that was too hot. It's not hyperbole to compare the result to coffee I've been served on flights, which isn't exactly a high standard for a cafe to aspire. The final issue was that, even though this location was not busy, it took about 10 minutes to produce one terrible Americano. In the end, there are many good cafes in Budapest that deserve your business more than this one.

Very nice place, nice interior, great coffee selection,

I recently visited Café Frei and had a mixed experience. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very friendly and accommodating. They made me feel welcome and were attentive throughout my visit. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the cakes. They were absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. I highly recommend trying their cakes if you have a sweet tooth. However, I was slightly disappointed with the drinks. While they had a good selection, I found them to be oversweetened and they left an unnatural aftertaste. It would have been better if they had offered a range of sweetness options or allowed customers to customize their drinks to suit their preferences. Overall, Café Frei is a decent place to visit for their friendly service and excellent cakes. However, if you're sensitive to overly sweetened drinks, you might want to consider other options.

The cafe frei at the Vaci Utca is directly location on the number one shopping mile in Budapest and it is near the great market hall. There are a lot of sitting places inside the cafe and outside they have only 2 small tables, which are not that comfortable. We had some espresso and one lemonade. The coffee taste was not that good and very thin and less of taste. They have to adjust the coffee grinder or the setting of the machine. The quality of the cafe is not that good as the other cafe frei, but you have a huge selection of different tastes. Unfortunately on the street of the other side a construction area, but it will be finished in the next months.

Probably the best coffee chain of the city The coffee selection is outstanding Staff is very kind and efficient This location was the best as the wall decoration was very original

If you are a coffee person, you have to stop by here. So many unique and delicious options, with a welcoming interior and kind staff. I came here almost daily to try new coffee concoctions from around the world - such a great concept! It's also a great spot to work with great wifi :)

Very big choice of coffee. Dubai spice cappuccino is highly recommended! This is a cozy place right near the walking area of the city

Came during weekday lunchtime, it has only 2 other tables but still kinda noisy, so I can imagine when it is packed how loud it will be in here. Cake is great I ordered the orange ice coffee, very interesting and def would try to replicate it at home. Barista do speak English and they have an english menu near the check out too.

I was in here today. Service was welcoming and friendly, the coffee was warm and refreshing, but not over priced rip-off! 👍 Cafe Frei, has a wide and varied selection of the finest coffee from around the globe. Also has a good chill out vibe, with some attractive looking ladies ❤️

This coffee shop has become one of my favorites throughout Europe! Their menu offers a wide range of creatively themed beverages, and I have tried multiple items which have never failed to impress me.

This cafe is amazing. I’m really picky with my black coffee so I drink it as a french press or aeropress to preserve the scent of the beans, but this barista is amazing. They have a cool looking espresso machine and great barista that make great americanos. I am usually not a fan of americanos due to the tarnished scent during the process of making americano, but it was so good. The scent from the coffee is still alive. Plus, i tried their Sajtos Sonkas Kosar which was also really good. The layers were finely divided and cheese was very creamy, the crunchiness of layers and creaminess had contradicting texture and the bakery had a very pleasant scent. I highly recommend this cafe! Such a good value

Probably the best coffee I’ve had in Budapest. They have a variety of coffee beans, what works for me was the medium roast. Always in the mood for Lombardo cake that brought childhood memories. Thank you

Exceptionally good coffee, with a wide variety of different tastes. I can highly recommend the "dohány kávé" (tobacco coffee). You can also buy packs of grounded or roasted coffee.

Such a lovely coffee place. The variety of beverages from around the world is just astounding. We've ordered five very distinct coffees and each one was tasty and aromatic. Oh, and they have delicious croissants as well! I can highly recommend it 🧡

Coffee from different continents with very nice desserts and fast service with nice staff , what more to ask ? Loved it !

Our daily stop, we were staying very close to it so another advantage. It has too many varieties of coffee and we tried a lot of it and had wonderful experience. No compromise on quality. Plus sugar in ice coffees were well maintained, I always worry about too much sugar in drink and thankfully that was not the case here. There whipped cream is amazing, I ordered whatever had cream on it😝. Lemonades and icetea were also good, natural sweet taste from berries and fruits. Loved it. Decore is cosy and peaceful.

Beautiful ambient, good coffee

Great selection of coffees around the world. I'm not sure if the coffees on the menu are truly the country's favourites but they are delicious. Whether you like an espresso with a twist, ice coffee, latte or something you've never had before, this place is for you. Great for coffee lovers. I wish a place like this was in London. We went there for a coffee every single day of our stay.

(Translated by Google) Huge, exotic selection (Original) Hatalmas, egzotikus választék

(Translated by Google) 👍👍👍👍👍 Good coffees, fast service. 👍 Unfortunately, the sink is something of a horror ...... 😣😣😣 (Original) 👍👍👍👍👍 Jó kávék, gyors kiszolgálás. 👍 Sajnos a mosdó az valami borzalom......😣😣😣

(Translated by Google) Nice service, delicious coffees. Due to the epidemic, the selection decreased slightly (Original) Kedves kiszolgálás, finom kávék. A járvány miatt kicsit csökkent a választék

(Translated by Google) Who can make a taste of one of the coffees. They cook very delicious. (Original) Aki teheti kóstolja meg valamelyik kávét. Nagyon finomakat főznek.

(Translated by Google) You have to try it 😍 (Original) Das muss man probiert haben 😍

best ice cream in vaci utca!!! also, great cakes to go

If I want to drink a cup of coffee, I go to this place exclusively. This is the BEST coffee in the country. You can chose plenty types of coffees from different countries all around the world. You get your coffee from the best quality of coffee beans with fare trade and very low prices. You can chose from some of teas, smoothies and cakes also of the same quality of course. In summer time they have special natural ice creams too. So, if you have enough time in the city and you want to drink something special from the highest quality straight from homeland of coffees and all of it low prices thanks to totally fare trade, you have to try it. The Cafe Frei is a franchise so you can find it in several places in the city, for example in the malls.

Such a LOVELY place. Really cheap, amazing coffee (loads of choices), great cakes and wonderful customer service! My coffee was much more spicy than what I was expecting and they offered me another option instead without charging me any extra. Definitely coming back. A must!!

This is the best chain of coffee. You have different flavors for country's around the world and still not found one really good. Event the food is very nice. And the prices are fit in your pocket. Should be a mandatory stop for breakfast or a snack in the afternoon

The best possible place to spend our last local money. Never ending list of coffee from all aground the globe. We felt in love to this cosy Cafe.

Probably had the best coffee i had in my life. The Tokyo drip coffee was aromatic and smooth. And wait till you see the price, makes all the cafe wannabe looks dumb. Genuinely upset that I only found them on my last day in Budapest. I'll really recommend any coffee lover to drop by. They have selection of cakes but we didn't try. Looks good though.

Ran in here simply to get out of the torrential rain, but was pleasantly surprised by the selection available. Definitely something for everyone on offer, and the Spanish Macchiato was amazing. Very busy, but well worth the visit.

(Translated by Google) The service is excellent, the staff is very kind. Compared to other cafes, it is especially quiet, I would recommend it to those who want to do their work in a beautiful environment. It is worth taking some warmer clothes, sweaters, cardigans with you, because the climate is terribly strong, especially cold. (Original) A kiszolgálás kiváló, a személyzet nagyon kedves. A többi kávézóhoz képest kifejezetten csöndes, szívesen ajánlom azoknak, akik a munkájukat szeretnék szép környezetben végezni. Érdemes valamilyen melegebb ruhát, pulóvert, kardigánt magatokkal vinni, mert a klíma borzasztóan erős, kifejezetten hideg van.

Very Good coffe and Good staff.

Excellent coffee from all over the world, beautiful location. The staff was nice and welcoming. Actually... if you are ever nearby a Cafe Frei, it is a must to stop there for a coffee. I recommend the Nicaraguan tobacco coffee!

Very nice place for a cappuccino and a cake 🍰👍(WiFi) good staff

(Translated by Google) Untouched concept of a cafe serving coffee in the style of the locality of your choice.

Everything we tried was excellent, the price available, the staff helpful, English speaking. (Original) V Česku nepotkaný koncept kavárny, podávající kávu ve stylu lokality dle výběru. Naservírují klasické espresso, ale i netradiční speciály (například kávu s příchutí jablečného tabáku se šlehačkou). Vše, co jsme vyzkoušeli bylo vynikající, cena dostupná, personál ochotný, anglicky mluvící.
