Which is the most expensive cafe in Hungary?

With the coming of the good weather, bars, restaurants and coffee shops are opening their terraces, which are almost always full. However, many people choose to take their coffee away to go out to a nice park, drink their caffeine dose in the open air and enjoy the sun. While the weather is good enough, a coffee or a hot chocolate is a great choice for a pleasant chatting. Divany.hu compared the prices of several coffee shops, which offer takeaway, and have really good coffee. It’s important to know that these are initial prices, asking for additional flavors or whipped cream topping significantly increases the total price. It’s good news that every type of coffee are available in decaffeinated version, and have the same price in case of takeaway.

Popular coffee types

Espresso: High-temperature water is let through the coffee in high pressure to add all the flavors and fragrances to the drink.

Cafe Latte: 1/3 part Espresso, 2/3 parts steamed milk with milk foam on the top. Also known as milk coffee.

Cappuccino: 1/3 part Espresso, 1/3 part hot milk and 1/3 part milk foam with some cocoa powder on the top.

Hot chocolate: Some people say it’s the same as chocolate milk, others say the difference is that one is made from cocoa and the other is from chocolate.

California Coffee Company

Besides coffee, sandwiches and cakes are available, right now XXL muffins are on special offer. In addition to these, you can ask for paleo sweets, fruits, and sugar, flour, and glucose free cakes to your coffee. It’s a shame that these coffee shops which provide weekly specials and seasonal coffee are only available on Biatorbágy outside Budapest. The actual offer is sour cherry latte, but strawberry-almond latte also appeared in connection to the spring. You can collect points, after 8 coffees you get a free one, and one star too. Stars can also be collected and later exchanged for presents. If you don’t have enough patience to collect enough stars, you can buy the thermoses, syrups and coffee beans in the shop.
