    A much more interactive experience than anticipated! The staff brings the animals to your table, introduces them by name and explains how to interact with them. DO *listen carefully*! One look away and the bunny WILL flip your coffee and the dragon lizard WILL try to run off the table. During an 1-1.5 h stay you'll meet around five animals of different kinds (3 reptiles, 2 mammals in our case). You can also walk around, look at all the others, and appreciate the massive fluffy cats (each gets 100 points from me). The animals look well catered for and are held in good conditions (large terrariums/enclosures with a lot of entertainment). Because there are so many, they can "work" on rotation—for each booking slot different animals are "on duty" which means they don't get too scared or tired of being in constant motion and contact with humans. Booking probably essential on the weekends since the place is very popular, and quickly gets busy. One observation: the music is strangely loud and upbeat for a place that asks guests for quietness not to disturb the animals too much. The menu almost doesn't matter since you probably only come there for the animals. "Consumption is obligatory", but you will find something, the selection of drinks is wide.

    Let me give you a full experience written in a review as this is the best review I can do for zoo cafe. Read until the end because the end is actually just so shocking which made me leave a 1 star review for its menu items as it's literally a tourist trap that u should NEVER go to! Now let me explain: Before going there, you do your research as a tourist, you know that u have to reserve a spot, u called their phone number many times and they rarely ever pickup so you emailed them about the reservation, once u did that you decided to research about the menu, but you look at the menu and you are really shocked at the food prices. 2300+ ft for hot chocolate. (350 ft is "service fee", the service fee is about 16.5% or less? Around that, which is outrageous considering hot chocolate worth 300ft being marked up to 2000+ ft. Which we thought the markup in price was to help pay for the animals.) But as we got there, which I booked a spor for me and my girlfriend, they were nice about us being about 10minutes late in reservation due to us being lost for a moment. That was nice, but as we entered the atmosphere is beautiful but could be a lot better considering the crazy prices. So you look at the menu, the menu you look at online didnt show the "service fee", but here they did show it, so yes the service fee is definitely a shocker. We got to stay there for an hour and 30 minutes. And we get to touch 5 animals, with each a turn for 5-10 minutes, like really just that? There were only 2 cool animals we could touch, the chameleon and tortoise, to be honest only the chameleon is worth touching given by them, but the rabbit was pretty soft so that's cool. The cats are really good too and they're huge, but sadly our table didnt even get the best view despite many other empty tables having awesome views. Do not EVER go to this place ever again, maybe a one time experience is enough but never more than once till they improve. I was fine with the place till the price shocked me, here's the part where I mentioned at the start that the end is just horrible. In the policies mentioned at the start that if you dont buy any food/drink which is stupidly priced at 2k (most of them, unless if u want to drink coffee at the night for some reason, which is around 1.5k), u have to pay 1000ft. But i dont really remember seeing them mention it is per person. i ordered one hot chocolate so me and my girlfriend can share it because of how expensive it is, and let me tell you im really dissapointed at the taste, tasted worse than some vending machine's hot chocolates. Really bland, in my opinion worth 300 forint but of course add 2000 forint because of the animals. And here's the thing, you need to order one food/drink per person or else they will charge u 1000 forint. Stupid. Never buy any food item here, it is a complete scam. Don't even feel bad if its for the animals, you're already paying for the ticket which is 1000 forint per person (unless if u buy food/drink, which i again advice NEVER do it.) I would also suggest to never go here again till their prices are justified. It's an incredibly overrated tourist trap. Go to a REAL zoo, far more worth it. And I bet this review is the most useful and helpful one out there for zoo cafe tourists. Also another quick thing of why im pissed about the prices, 2000 forint can get me 5 meals in my country (malaysia) which is why im really dissapointed. Goodbye and just go to my country instead its better🤣

    100% a place you NEED to visit during your visit to Budapest! You get to eat with reptiles, birds, cats and other animals at your table! A very unique and strange experience. Booking in advance is recommended. Not recommended however if you (for some reason) don’t like animals. Its not every day you get to enjoy a piece of cake with a snake wrapped around your neck. Strict rules apply here, so be respectful towards other visitors and especially the animals. Fairly good prices, where its expected to order something. 3€ entrance fee if not. Food and beverages were okay, very basic stuff with some room for improvement. Good cakes though. Very friendly and experienced staff, where you can tell they care a lot and know a lot about the animals. Can recommend!

    Great idea! Seems like the animals are well-taken care of and each has its piece of heaven in the cafe. You will get instructions on how to handle each animal with care. Great way to learn about some unique spices and maybe get your reptile phobia under control :’) + there are cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs as well! Prices are more than fair! Make a reservation!

    In one word this place was AMAZING!! The staff generally take very good care of the animals. We had the opportunity to see different animals, while 5 types of animals were with us at the table during our hour and half reservation. About every 10 minutes we got a different animal. In the last 15 minutes you have the opportunity to view the entire cafe. I recommend making a reservation in advance, there is a lot of interest in this place, which I completely understand after my experience. The only thing I would change is the reservation system. Nowadays, it could be a little more modern - faster and more practical.

    A MUST visit place during your stay in Budapest! The experience is one of a kind and the animals are amazing. The staff is very kind and explains how to handle the animals gently. However, I don’t recommend eating there just because the food is not worth it. Our drinks were good. Overall 10/10 experience!

    Unique place for the animals lovers or for the ones who have children:)) First time we was there without an appointment, we couldn’t stay. It was fully booked for 3 days But, the second time we did a reservation with about one week before Kids loved the cats, the turtles, the bunny, the chameleon, but also the little piton 🐍. For me, what I loved the most was the way it was scheduled time that we where there. First we ordered the drinks, then we received one animal for 10 minutes, than it was replaced with another animal… like this till the end. In the last 15 minutes you can take a tour in the cafe and see the rest of the animals Nice experience for Budapest !

    Nice experience, but I didn't like the smell of the place and the cats in the place where the food is served. Although there are disinfectants on the tables, they didn’t look clean to me. The rabbit peed on the table, the lizard pooped in friends hand, everything was cleaned immediately, but I still couldn't order food in such a place. We booked in advance and arrived 30' earlier, but they didn't let us in before the appointment. Coffee was OK, but poor internet connection.

    It was Awesome!!!! Every 15 min a pet was brought to the table, the staff told some info about the pet like its name and whether it need to be on hands or can be on the table. Food and drinks were great. We make a reservation :) We absolutely will come again!!

    First things first, reservation is absolutely needed if you want to visit Zoo Cafe. The place is well worth the visit, so plan it in advance. You probably need to make a reservation a week earlier, or even sooner for weekends. Our 1.5 hour long stay went by quickly. Various animals are brought to your table, and stay with you for 5-10 minutes. There's guinea pigs, chameleons, rabbits, exotic birds and more. The staff is friendly and explains how should you pet the animals. Make sure to follow their instructions. They have multiples of the same kind of animal and cycle them through the day, so they are able to relax in between visits. The drinks are on the pricier side, but that's to be expected as there's no entry fee. You only need to pay around 3-4€ if you don't order anything. All in all, if you like animals, you're going to enjoy visiting this place.

    Reservation! Reservation! Reservation! It’s important so I’m going to say it three times. The very first time we didn’t know reservation is needed:/ But, the overall experience is 10/10. As the other review mentioned, you will get to see 5 different animals and they will bring them to you one by one within these 1-1.5 hrs. Definitely will come back😍😍

    What a great time had here! The staff are friendly and informative. They bring animals to your table, some of which you can hold. There are also very cute cats roaming around the place. The hot chocolates here were very tasty. This place is very popular, for a good reason, so reserving far in advance is definitely advised.

    It’s an interesting experience since you get a possibility to spend some time with the exotic animals since they put them onto your table for a while; personally I was really excited/terrified to hold a snake 😂Among their animals were snakes, a rabbit, a chameleon, a Guinea pig, etc. Some animals were in the terrariums or in the cage still e.g. the birds, spiders. It’s necessary to book it in advance since they don’t accept walk in and there is a time slot for each group of attendees. We just got some coffees but as I noticed they also had sandwiches and cakes.

    One of a kind place for an up close experience with animals 💗 The animals and birds look healthy and well groomed and the setting is nice. The animals are individually presented by their names, species, and age (if you show interest). Yes they might pee or poop on the table (like the tortoise did on mine), because they are alive 😉 simply call one of the staff members and they will clean the table. There are sanitizers on every table, for convenience. Reserving a table in advance is a must. The place operates in 1.5h series service, with simple house rules. The staff is always moving, but nice and helpful (respect to be respected).

    Very interested experience to have an animal on your table to pet. There is nothing special regarding food and drinks. Interacting with animals is the main attraction of this place. It was a nice experience. Would recommend it if you are in Budapest. It is always busy, I recommend reserving a table a week prior to your estimated visit.

    The concept is so interesting ! You get an hour to get to know a couple of animals they rotate the animals every 15mins . The coffee and cakes are also tasty and fresh . Everything is reasonably priced. The animals are also happy and healthy . The possibility to get to know and spend time with animals as you sip your coffee is genius. Worth a visit!

    Great place with amazing animals inside. Even though the animals are incredible, they’re stressed and they spend (in my opinion) a lot of time with people touching them when they don’t want to. It’s a good place to go once in your lifetime but it was a little bit awful since the animals were not confortable.

    We had no booking, so needed to wait 15 minutes for a seat. But then had 5-6 animals for 6-9 minutes each, & a sandwich & cuppa. Very enjoyable afternoon.

    The place is really interesting to visit. They have several types of animals such as lizards, snakes, rabbits, guinea pigs... cats walk freely around the cafe and come to your lap to cuddle. Reservations are required a few days in advance and we did it via e-mail. You can spend an hour and a half in the cafe, and every 10-15 minutes they change the animals at the table. They explain what can you do with each animal and what you can't. You also can reject an animal (we rejected a snake) and then you are waiting 10 minutes for the next one. Chameleon Johnny was the most interesting animal ever. We had a great time and would come again.

    Zoo cafe is an out of this world experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the animals were well-cared for and happy, and the facilities were clean and spacious. It's a unique and memorable experience. The highlight of my visit was, of course, the opportunity to interact with the animals. It was truly heartwarming to see how well-cared for and happy the animals were, and I could tell that they were well-loved. Despite having several animals on-site, the cafe was immaculate and odor-free. I was also happy to see that the animals had plenty of space to play and roam around.

    An amazing experience! Not everyone has a chance in life to hold a chameleon, snake or a lizard and here you have your own time with every animal that's in your round. We didn't had an reservation but we got lucky because lot of reservations didn't come so we slided in. Definitely if you are planning to go there, make a reservation❗❗❗ The only things I would improve is maybe to make the reservation longer because you can't drinking your coffee/drink normally and focus on the animals because you don't have so much time. And the stuff is very hectic. They're explaining everything so fast and they are all the time serious.

    What an amazing find. Booking is definitely recommend. We had two toasted sandwiches, a milkshake and a coffee. There's no booking fee to get in but you must purchase something off the menu. Animals were brought to our table, some we could touch and some we could hold (mainly the reptiles). We had a bearded dragon, a turtle, a chameleon, a rabbit and a guinea pig. At the end we had time to have a wander around to look at the other animals. It's such a lovely place and a lovely experience. The staff are so knowledgeable about the animals and clearly love them and take good care of them. Thank you so much to the patient staff who work there and made out visit memorable.

    You need to make reservation at least week before. The whole caffee is amazing. You spend hour with the animals on your table that are changing every 10 minutes and then you have 20 minutes to look around the caffee.The animals seem to be well taken care of. Its must visit if you are in Budapest. The staff is really nice and welcoming. The only minus is that we only ordered at the begining and then there wasnt any chance because noone came to us. Everything is clean even tho there are lots of animals. I deffinetly reccoment it and we’ll be back next time we visit Budapest!

    I loved the way the serve people in this place. The literally nailed it with the animals experience (cate, hamsters, rabbits, chameleons, snakes and parrots) and when it comes to food and drinks its just great and more than expected. I would recommend to give it a try and live such an experience. Maybe the only 2 things needed are having cash for payment and a reservation before hand so you won't wait a lot.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 5 years ago on Google

    We didn't need a reservation as we turned up at opening time and were the only ones there but it did fill up quick so I imagine you'd need to book for later in the day. The staff bring various animals to your table so you can take photos and spend time with them. During the two hours, we were given a tortoise, chameleon, bearded dragon and rabbit. Cats also freely roam around. Great value as it only cost 1,980 Ft for the two drinks we had.

The animals are brought to the table every 10-15 minutes and they can stay there to caress and watch. We had a snake, a kitten, a guinea pig, a chameleon, a bunny, and a cockatoo flew around us. The kids liked it very much too. We will definitely go back. Due to parking, it is advisable to arrive by car before the booking date to find a place. (Original) Nagyon szervezett, hangulatos, professzionális kávézó. Elképesztően ügyes a személyzet és nagyon jól éreztük magunkat. Az állatokat 10-15 percenként hozzák az asztalhoz és ott maradhatnak simogatásra, nézegetésre. Volt nálunk kígyó, cica, tengeri malac, kaméleon, nyuszi, és egy kakadu repkedett körülöttünk. Nagyon tetszett a gyerekeknek is. Biztosan vissza fogunk még menni. Parkolás miatt érdemes kocsival a foglalási időpont előtt érkezni hogy találj helyet.

    (Translated by Google) Very super place 😊 Service is perfect 😎 Really very exciting, exotic and special! The coffees and food are delicious and delicious! The animals are brought out to the tables and can be held in hand, which is really not an everyday experience! From the royal python to the guinea pig, through the chameleon, we can get in touch with bearded agama and countless other exciting creatures here either by catching them when they are brought there or just looking at them (depending on courage). This is a wonderfully invented and operated place! Not to mention the kittens who, if they wish, do their respect at our table. (Original) Nagyon szuper hely 😊 Kiszolgálás tökéletes 😎 Tényleg nagyon izgalmas, egzotikus és különleges! A kávék és az ételek finomak és ízletesek! Az állatokat kihozzák az asztalokhoz és kézben lehet tartani őket, ami tényleg nem egy mindennapi élmény! A királypitontól kezdve a tengerimalacon át a kaméleonon keresztül szakállas agáma és még számtalan izgalmas élőlénnyel kerülhetünk itt kapcsolatba akár úgy hogy megfogjuk mikor odahozzák akár csak nézzük őket (bátorságtól függően). Ez egy nagyszrűen kitalált és működtetett hely! A cicákról még nem is beszélve akik, ha úgy óhajtják tiszteletüket teszik az asztalunknál.

The prices are also good, what I drank is about the price of a starbuckos drink, but if you consume it you don't have to pay a ticket, and you can sit inside for 60-90 minutes while bringing the animals to your table. Of course you can walk around, there are also a lot of interesting goods in the terrariums that you can admire, and the place is full of softer kittens who go here and there freely. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who loves animals and would love to spend some time with them, even with the more exotic ones, while eating / drinking something delicious. (Original) Nagyon jó kis hely, már règebb óta el akartam menni ide. A kávè szerintem finom volt, a szemèlyzet pedig kedves. Az árak is jók, amit ittam kb egy starbuckos ital ára, de ha fogyasztasz nem kell ugye belèpőt fizetni, ès bent ülhetsz 60-90 percet, miközben hozzák-viszik az asztalodhoz az állatokat. Persze mászkálhatsz is, a terráriumokban is sok èrdekes jószág van, akiket megcsodálhatsz, ès a hely tele van puhábbnál puhább cicákkal, akik szabadon mennek ide-oda. Összessègèben bárkinek ajánlanám, aki szereti az állatokat, ès szívesen eltölt velük egy kis időt, akár egzotikusabbakkal is, miközben valami finomat eszik/iszik.

    (Translated by Google) I’ve been wanting to get there for a very long time, as I’ve heard a lot of great reviews about the place, but it still surpassed my ideas. The waiters were very attentive, the place was clean, the atmosphere was pleasant and I was fainting from the animals. I will recommend it to everyone and we will definitely go again😊 (Original) Nagyon régóta szerettem volna már eljutni, mivel rengeteg nagyszerű véleményt hallottam a helyről, de még így is felülmúlta az elképzeléseimet.

    Awful place, animal abuse, they are passing the animals from one table to another and they are so scared and suffering. I thought it’s a nice place where animals have big space to be in. The second I arrived I wanted to leave. I’m sorry..

  • 3/5 Soniboy84 2 years ago on Google
    Not sure what to say, the staff is nice, the coffee and the place is nice and we had good experience. However I didn't feel some of the animals (cats, bunnies, guinea pigs) were kept well. The cats were also visibly annoyed. For the management : please look at how stressed the animals are. They're locked in a small cage for most of the time, then taken out only to be patted on a small table. While I liked the place, the concept needs a bit of work to have both happy guests and happy animals.

  • 5/5 Μαριάννα �. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 George S. 2 years ago on Google
    5/5 points, although I am vegan and I am against keeping animals in cages. However, I feel that this little cafe is not a simple for-profit business, as maintaining a mini-heaven costs a lot of money, especially during a covid epidemic. I have a definite feeling that the owner and employees work with heart and soul to show what a wonderful world we are destroying. Anyone who takes a snake in his hand here will pass his snake phobia and think that it is not a good idea to cut down the last tree on Earth. I especially recommend visiting the cafe for those who only meet animals on store shelves, sliced ​​and wrapped in plastic.

  • 5/5 MMM P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Wall I. 2 years ago on Google
    I was tired of cat cafes so I was happy to find out there is cafe with more species of animals. The staff brings you animals and tells you how to manipulate with them, so you dont leave without an experience unlike in cat coffee. The food and drinks are way too sweet in my view but the offer is good and the prices are little bit higher. The staff was kind and animals are treated nice:))

    They have a lot of different animals to pet, all domestic, from snakes to rabbits; chameleons to guinea pigs and so much more. Cats all over the tables. Cappuccino is ok and we didn't try the tiramisu because they didn't have it. It's a 4 close to 5 :) Recommend if you love animals.

    The animals looks happy. The crew is over viewing the wellbeing of the animals, rotate them, explain about them and let them rest. The variety of the animals is big and it looks like the crew is taking care of them and they on a good shape. Also, the variety of the coffee and other hot drinks is large and it was a great fun visiting it.

  • 4/5 Natalia 1 year ago on Google
    It was a wonderful experience. Animals were very cute and friendly, I could tell that they were not neglected. The drinks and cake were tasty, the prices were rather good. I went there two separate times - the first visit was much better. The staff was much nicer, they were helpful and checked on us a few times. The second time, the waiter gave us a receipt when we still had full cups on the table and told us that we should leave because the next guests are coming, even though the visits are scheduled for 1,5h and we still had half an hour left. Although, it was definitely worth it. I fell in love with these little creatures.

  • 4/5 Ziga K. 1 year ago on Google
    Make sure you have a reservation (it makes sense to have one, because of such high demand). We simply sent an email one day earlier and got the response really quick (in an hour). We had such a good experience in the cafe. We loved the concept although not sure how animals like the whole carrying around all day long and meeting a lot of people. The drinks are not the best, but just fine. The staff was friendly. Must see if you are in Budapest!

  • 5/5 mich.k 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome unique experience. The peach ice tea was really tasty. Place is clean and the animals look like they are taken care off super well. Definitely get a reservation.

  • 5/5 ernest b. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting experience. There is a parrot flying around, and every 10 minutes or so they bring you other small animal to the table, cameleon, or turtle, maybe a rabit, just don't let them eat your food from your plate or glass. The staff is nice also. Special place 😊

  • 5/5 Isidora M. 1 year ago on Google
    Be sure to reserve a table a couple of days before departure, due to high demand. Something unique and different in the heart of Budapest. Here you can have a drink and enjoy being surrounded by various kinds of animals. Definitely a cafe worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Una M. 1 year ago on Google
    Animals were so cute. My fav one is Boris(G.pig), his curls are flawless! Prices are affordable, but if you plan to visit, reservation is must have! So pay attention to that, you can send it by mail. Atmosphere is nice and cozy. They are kids friendly, ofcourse :)

  • 5/5 Mila C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool experience. Reservation in advance was needed, we contacted them via e-mail. Animals are friendly and so cute. You get the rules and instructions from staff for every animal, they bring them to your table and you get 10 minutes for each animal. Cakes and drinks were also nice. 👌🏼

  • 5/5 Annie 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience!! Loved getting to interact with the animals, the staff gave you info on how to handle each animal which was helpful. You could tell the staff really like and care for the animals which was nice to see. Food was just okay but I sort of expected that as the main attraction of the place is the animals!

  • 5/5 Alyssa A. 11 months ago on Google
    Randomly stopped by here to kill some time but I had a great experience! 🥳 The staff were friendly and attentive, you can ask them about the animals. The animals were really cute and they looked quite well cared for. Staff will come and swap the animals every 10 mins to a different one. Entry fee is cheap - you must either buy something to eat or drink or pay 1000Ft. It is better to have a reservation at busy hours but it is still possible to get a seat.

  • 5/5 Emma 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the Zoo Cafe, managed to book quite easily and was easy to get to. Be careful of the bird stealing your food though!Time went by so fast but was an amazing experience with excellent staff. Would highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Ofir B. 9 months ago on Google
    If you're planning on heading to the Zoo Café in Budapest with your kids, I believe you'll have a pretty good time. The whole dining-with-animals thing is definitely different, and the kids loved it. Now, for the not-so-great part - it was kinda hot inside. Imagine being in a small room with a bunch of animals, without proper air circulation. Yeah, not the best. They really need to sort their ventilation out, it'd make the experience way more enjoyable. The food? A bit on the pricy side, but hey, you're eating with a parrot on your shoulder, so it kind of balances out. They don't charge extra for hanging out with the animals, so I guess that's where they get you. All in all, it's a fun spot for a family outing. I wouldn't say it's a must-see in Budapest, but if you're in the city with kids and an hour to spare, why not? With a few improvements, this place could really be something.

  • 5/5 Daniel N. 8 months ago on Google
    Awesome experience. There will be 6 animals on your table over the course of 1.5hr. Cats run all over the place which is funny. Staff takes care of the animals well. You have to book a table in advance via email. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Brecht C. 7 months ago on Google
    Very good drinks, a great overal experience and a must try. The animals were nice and there was a lot of variety. The cats that walk around were very energetic and very nice. At the end you have some time to walk around and visit al the enclosures where the animals live. We had a great time here and we really recommend a visit. The drinks were decently cheap, especially considering that you dont pay an entrance fee. Do make sure to reserve a few days in advance. The only downside that i can say is that the explanation of how each animal behaves and what to do is very short and fast. You need to listen very well because otherwise you wont really know what you can and cant do. Overall a really great experience and i would definitely recommend it.

  • 4/5 Artour M. 4 months ago on Google
    The experience started when we entered the place to be told we had to wait outside as we were early, about 20 minutes. Well, it's hard to arrive at a precise time since we were 1 hour away from this place and public transport is unpredictable. But the worst was that it was freezing temperatures outside. So we managed to wait in a little room by the entrance. The place is an old wood building, and it seems the animals are used to this ambiance of constant holding and petting. We had brought to our table a turtle, a chameleon, an iguana, a guinea pig, and a rabbit. Cats come to us constantly, and they are gorgeous. There are cages with toucan birds, snakes, rats and a tarantula! The drinks are good. I had an excellent milkshake, but the food is terrible. It's all FROZEN, and the menu makes no sense. I asked for a chicken breast piadina, and I received a ham and cheese, which they claimed to be chicken. Serms everything has cheese in the menu, but that is not announced in the menu. Bad for cheese intolerance like me. Needless to say, the food and drinks are way above a normal price, which I understand because taking care of that zoo can't be cheap. Staff tries to be kind, but we can tell they are more stressed than the animals, or maybe it's just the hungarian look.. So, I recommend going there only for the drink, taking pictures with cute animals, and enjoying that 1 1/2 that they let you stay there.
