    Literally our Cafe Perk in Budapest. We found this amazing familiar place where to go almost everyday. The best hot chocolate in Budapest that you can choose between white, milk or dark and you never go wrong. I most of the time get an Americano or a Chai Latte and can guarantee for both! If they have cakes available (not an everyday thing) pick the carrot cake, you won’t regret it. If they don’t have cakes also the croissants are very nice choices. Almost forgot to mention the little cuties they have downstairs: 4 small geckos that are super super nice to wave at every time we go in😍 The staff is the best and their playlist as well: the staff is always super kind and attentive, and the playlist is chill so you can study, but also enjoyable if you just want to chill. Good selection of board games and cards as well, we usually used them to take a break between study sessions. I highly recommend this place for everything and everyone. Also the ambience is crazy good! With many paintings exposed that you can actually buy it really gives you nice vibes and a very nice atmosphere.

    One of the best cafes here in Budapest. I went there today to study and have lunch. I ordered vegan penini with tea. Both so yummy. The staff were so kind and patient. The paintings on the wall were so good. I will definitely go there again.

    I didn't expect this place to look so good from the inside, I loved the vivid vibes and colours. The food and coffee is nice, with the student discount it is completely acceptable.

    The walls of the cafe were decorated with beautiful paintings. I got the artistic vibe from here. I guess the pictures are also for sale. Btw, you can play board games. The coffee prices were also quite affordable.

    Lovely small coffee shop in the heart of Budapest with a decent selection of coffee, tea, panini and cakes. The staff are friendly. The walls are decorated with modern paintings and many of them can be purchased.

    One of the best coffee shop I visited so far. The place is colorful and cosy. Perfect place to study or having a small chit-chat with friends. The guy who served us was really kind and lovely (which is not common amoung hungarian waiters) I will definitly recommand it to people that I know!

    The cafe is really cute and has cozy vibes. The coffee was really good. Prices are reasonable, but in Hungary its customary to leave a tip (10 to 15 %) which is good to know.

    An absolutely wonderful experience every time. The vibe of the caffe is relaxing and chill, partly because of the playlist that I had to ask them for. Beautiful interior with amazing paintings and geckos. The bathrooms are very clean. The staff is very kind and pleasent. Would recommend to get away from the chaos of the city or sziget. I can with most certainty say the this caffe is bene.

    This cozy café just a few minutes away from the Parliament or Nyugati Station is a place with an atmosphere I've never seen anywhere else. Friendly staff and people, beautiful paintings on every wall and plants in every corner. A lot of plants! So it's the perfect environment if you want to just chill, relax, stare around or talk with friends - or even to study or work as i do since I've become a regular here. The coffee and the menu is also really good and pretty unique, with fairly good prices regarding the location (5th district). Filter coffee, hot chocolate, all the plant-based stuff, huge tea selection, vegan food and a cocktails too. You can also get tubi here, strongly recommended! All in all, I say that this kind newly-opened place definitely deserves a try!:)

    What a great find! I thought this was the Korean chain but actually it's independent (different spelling) Such a cool, comfortable spot with relaxing seating and beautiful artwork. Great hospitality and friendly atmosphere. Short walk to the main train station. Had a good latte and price was reasonable for the area. Hidden gem

    (Translated by Google) A quiet, charming cafe next to the Parliament. It has an amazing atmosphere. The staff, the service is first class. There are two cute geckos, just don't get bored;) The toilette is above average, fabulous, brilliantly clean. If you want a divine coffee, feel free to visit here !!

    Fun little coffee shop with a lot of character. The espresso was very nice and the service was friendly. The design is a nice change from the typical coffee shop look. Instead of generic IKEA furniture they have bright and comfortable chairs and couches.

    Cozy atmosphere, I had Matcha Cappuccino and Chocolate croissant 🥐 the croissant was so soft and delicious! The staff was very kind, he told me to sit, eat first and pay later. The song in the cafe was just right (not too loud), I can read a book without distraction 💕

    Coffee , croissant, Panini was nice. Atmosphere is amazing. I like the vibe. Cafe is artistic and cosy.

  • 1/5 Julia M. 7 months ago on Google
    I was very pleased with my visit to this cafe (it's really beautiful!), until I saw on my phone that I had paid much more than I should have (the price that was on the menu for coffee and that the barista gave when paying was lower). However, the barista did not show the terminal before payment and added additional costs. For this reason, I definitely do not recommend it!

  • 5/5 Alison R. 11 months ago on Google
    Worked outside from this beautiful cafe today whilst being served amazing coffee and the most delicious home made lemonade. Staff super kind and helpful. Great atmosphere. Will come back for sure.

  • 5/5 Bence M. 1 year ago on Google
    I really liked it. Prices are great considering it's in the V. District, the barista was very nice to us and it's table service which is rare for such a small place. The atmosphere is great! We tried the local speciality, which is ice cream coffee, and we will return for it during summer!

  • 5/5 ghada b. 10 months ago on Google
    Cute little café. The decoration gives a really good vibe to the place. The croissant sandwich was great. Service is great. Only down side, is that the ac was not working when I was there so it was a bit warm inside.

  • 1/5 Loreen T. 1 year ago on Google
    I am always being honest in my reviews...it was the very first time I got really disappointed. Cappuccino was rather poorly: lukewarm, foam consistency not well, taste just okay. I was lucky I didn't order food though. The customer next to me got a burnt Panini. Worst of all: when I waited for my drink, it suddenly smelled burnt. Few seconds after you heard someone scraping something off a bread. Minutes later the customer next to me and I knew, that this was his order. He turned it and it was still black ish /dark brown. Service fee of 12 % for that... Sorry, but not again. Interior was nice though. Cookie the only good thing.

    Different types for coffee lovers, nice lemonades to try :) Small selection of pastries if you crave something sweet. Very nicely decorated, has a vibe!

  • 4/5 Marta K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cafe with an artistic vibe and a surprising addition of a terrarium with two lizards. One of a few cafes open on a Sunday, which might explain why it was so busy and loud when we visited. There are many plants, including a live plant wall, which create a homely and pleasant atmosphere. When it's sunny outside, the space is bright which, together with the abundance of plants, gives it a garden feel. The coffee is alright, there is a wide selection of teas too, and some vegan options.
