a not-so-hidden gem! adorable place that i went to a lot to study and escape my apartment. it's exactly what you want a cafe to be but it can get crowded at times so make sure to get there early. they also usually have good art and some little crafts which make it a nice place to get gifts for your jealous friends. food is good too!

This place is 272782 out of 10. The coffee has the rich taste of roasted finely selected beans. Simply art on your palate. The atmosphere is alternative, offering different environments if you want be introspective or hang out with friends. The service was fast & good. I definitely recommend.

Felt like we’d stumbled into the perfect bookish retreat. Bigger than you’d think including a terrace out back. Good coffee and nice touch to warm up the cinnamon rolls. Could probably spend all day in here meeting interesting people from Budapest and beyond.

A very nice place to have a coffee, hangout and read books. The cafe is really nice and unique. It offers some good selections of coffees and books too! A lot of books in English can be found here including some other languages. The price is somewhat okay for me. It’s a nice place to do your work as well. The staff are friendly.

Cute and cozy second hand English book store with lots to browse. We had a chai latte and a flat white and thought the barista did a good job. Cakes were dry and forgettable though :) The books weren’t too pricey, and I love how queer friendly this place is too!

The idea for the coffee shop is really nice, people are quiet and mostly reading/studying. Lovely place 🥰

Amazingly cosy little bookstore / cafe. I spent many hours here on my last day in Budapest, reading, writing, dreaming and eating tasty pastries.

an adorb nook in the bustling city center. the bookstore has the vibes that are in between an instagram home decor page and your grandma’s house. hip, aesthetic but with touches from the last centuries! i loved the variety of furnitures here, from wooden chairs to modern spinning ones screaming in the shade of honey mustard. some tables at the cafe have the no laptop rule (but has wifi). the cappuccino was good and at a reasonable price. it’s really a place where you can spend the entire afternoon reading and contemplating!
