Four cafés in Budapest to warm your soul

In this dreadful autumn weather, there is nothing better to do than to get cosy somewhere indoors and have a hot beverage. Here are 4 heart and soul warming cafés in downtown Budapest that are just perfect for that purpose. The list starts with the cheapest and ends with the pricier places, but the quality is really good in all of these four cafés in Budapest.

Műhely Egyetem Café

Műhely (‘workshop’ in Hungarian) Egyetem (university) café can be found near Astoria (Múzeum krt. 6-8) within the walls of ELTE’s Faculty of Humanities. It is situated underground, which adds to its unique atmosphere.

Although this café is designed specifically for, and is always full with university students, I think this wonderful place is worth exploring by anyone who wanders the streets near Astoria, looking for a place to grab a good cup of coffee.

Műhely opened in 2014 and has similar vibes to the ruin pubs of Budapest.

Besides drinking reasonably priced quality coffee, customers can also grab something to eat from the wide selection of sandwiches, salads or pastries. They have non-dairy, gluten free and sugar free options too.

Fekete

Fekete (black) is a café right across the street from the campus of ELTE’s Faculty of Humanities (Múzeum krt. 5.). This café has a spacious area for customers who would like sit down and drink their coffee in peace, but it also has a separate, much smaller area which serves takeaway only, if one is really in a hurry.

Fekete has a really fresh and modern atmosphere which is very attractive not only to 20 somethings but to coffee lovers of all ages. The café offers nice breakfast options as well.
