Generally, the place is nice and the food is great, but I didn’t really like the way one of the waitresses handled things (attitude). I know my Hungarian is not perfect, but a friendly attitude is always appreciated, especially when working with guests. Even a simple goodbye when guests are leaving would make a better impression.

The food was delicious, the staff were really friendly and the vibes were amazing! Their playlist was really great as well :) They even charged my phone which was so nice of them ☺️ Can't wait to be back! Also, the golden latte was the best thing I have ever tried!

The coffee was absolutely delicious — the espresso tonic was also fine. Didn’t take any photos, but the place is truly unique. The design is very harmonious and beautifully put together. When we arrived, it was raining, so we didn’t want to sit outside. Inside was completely full, but the server lady kindly asked us to wait 1–2 minutes while checking the tables — and luckily, we got a seat. There are lots of plants, alternative milk options, and vegan desserts as well. The place was full, which is always a good sign that they serve popular and delicious things and the atmosphere is very calm. We visited on a Saturday afternoon. Definitely worth booking a table for the evening, especially on weekends. Pet friendly! 🤗

We have stopped at that place for coffee and beer. Coffee was good and gluten free passion fruit cheese cake was very delicious. They have more gluten free options. I’ve seen another cheese cake, banana bread. Good service, warm atmosphere. Nice place to relax and have a drink.

A great local cafe offering vegan and lactose-free options, as well as delicious cakes. Not large, but it has both indoor and outdoor tables. They offer a variety of draft beers and serve good coffee. When busy, it can be a bit slow and forget half of our order, but it's still a lovely place.
