really nice place for work and studying, you can stay there for a long time with laptop. wifi is good, coffee too 🌸

Viktor Nagy18.02.2025

They only give you wifi for 1 hour. Also expensive for the quality. Never again.

Guilherme Zeus Dantas e Moura18.02.2025

In the new wifi system, you need to order something every hour to keep the wifi, or otherwise you'll be locked out of the network. It's understandable, but still sucks.

Andris Gyori18.02.2025

I find it shameful that you get 1!! wifi access stuff, while the network blocks literally every access other than HTTPS so I couldn't even work from here

Eliran18.02.2025

Nice place, I didn't like the fact that you need to reset your wifi password every hour.

Lőrinc Pap18.02.2025

wifi barely works (after an hour you have to buy something for it to continue barely working), coffee tastes watery :/

Carolina Ann18.02.2025

A cozy coffee with open space, suitable for working or meeting with friends. I had a Flat White and my friend had Hot Chocolate, which were quite tasty and reasonably priced. We were given wifi codes for 1-hour access. Staffs were pretty helpful and polite. I would come again!

Diana Tran18.02.2025

Great service, nice and hip, good wine, plenty of space to plug in and work on your laptop

Adra Anderson18.02.2025

Came here because others suggested it was good for some remote work. They have lots of seating (although most tables were full on a rainy day). The wifi is by the hour. You get a user/password with your order. When your hour is up, you should make another purchase to get another hour of wifi. First purchased two coffees and got two wifi logins. Then purchased another coffee and got 2 wifi logins (4 hours total). You can only use the login info once per device. And the coffee was good 👍

Sorry but the worst cappuccino ever…
Taste was bad.
Great place to work on laptop but wifi can be used strictly only for one hour.

Daria Alexeeva18.02.2025

Beautiful place, interesting interior, lots of books and delicious coffee, desserts. Pleasant staff. Upset the system with gaining access to wifi. For 1 purchase you get 1 leaflet with a login and password to enter, the internet will be available for 1 hour. Of course, this is not very convenient for work and study, because you can’t buy new coffee every hour. Not profitable at all, it is better to choose other coffee houses for this purpose. However, if the internet is not very necessary, then everything is fine in this place.

Stevie Haughey18.02.2025

Cool place to work on your laptop

Dora Emese Palfi18.02.2025

Really cool interior and great place to work on your laptop while having a coffee / tea.

Sonia Ran18.02.2025

Lots of students on laptops. The staff also seen like students. Lots of sitting places. The dirty chai wasn't great and I got cow milk instead of oat milk, which I ordered.

Max Koerbs18.02.2025

Melody Kolay18.02.2025

Arnaud м18.02.2025

Very nice cafe for work. The coffee is quite good and nice vibe. Music a bit loud. But very nice service. Recommend

Taissa Costa18.02.2025

Amazing cafe place! However, sometimes they have some presentation that is kinda disturbing or interesting depending on your interests. They don't have much plug to charge the laptop.

Paulina B18.02.2025

great place to work, laptop friendly. music is quiet and it doesn't bother at all. tasty lemonades, really nice staff. I will definitely come back again.

Debora Charlotte von der Osten-Sacken18.02.2025

If you use google maps for the directions it will lead you to the wrong side of the building. The Entrance is on Dohány u. 13.
Really nice for working on a laptop! Most people here are actually doing that. outlets provided and calm environment.
Also a bookshop and great for reading.
Different options for plant based / vegan drinks milk alternatives such as oat milk and almond milk. Free water.
Very friendly staff.
Not wheelchair accessible.
LGBTQ friendly.

betty hm18.02.2025

Cafe, bookshop, place to work.

Fanny Around the world18.02.2025

Nice working place, nice service.

Ana Karla Nobre Dias18.02.2025

By far the best Café in Budapest not only in taste but the environment is also really comfy. Great place to work.

David Naylor18.02.2025

The music, coffee, staff and interior of the cafe are all amazing. I came here to work for the afternoon and had a really productive few hours thanks to their strong flat white. They played chilled techno and house music, which is my favorite for working/studying! Probably one of the best cafes I have visited for studying across a number of cities! I look forward to returning.
