The best coffee in Budapest with the most friendly staff. Order a V60 filter coffee!Upvoted Sep 30
Paul StrachanJanuary 9, 2018This place thoroughly deserves its current #1 ranking. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The pastries are great, and the coffee is simply as good as it gets.
- nasr abuzaidJuly 12, 2016I had a double late, carrot cake and flodni . All were excellent and at a very reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and seems as a family. They got outdoor seating but inside is cool.
Fluying ✅January 5, 2017Amazing coffee beans mixed with a cool place and great staff. I asked for a Kenyan double espresso. It was amazingly done, flavor was creamy, fruity and extremely strong. Love it.
Shaileshwori SharmaNovember 19, 2015Lovely atmosphere, smily/super friendly staff, and amazing coffees in Budapest make this one a must try. For working, they also have standing tables at back. With loyalty card, 10th cup is free.
Theodore AvgerinosMay 22, 2016This is the place that makes you a coffee addict. And that cappuccino will follow me in every place I go. Everything is excellent. The cake, the service and the environment. But the coffee...just wow!
VáclavAugust 22, 2013Espresso embassy has a drip bar with V60, aeropress and friends. Beans are from relatively new local Budapest roasters called "casino Mocca". Excellent Kenya on drip! I like self-served tapped water.
- Paul StrachanJanuary 8, 2018The coffee was really really good - if you've heard of Taylor Street in The UK then think as good as that - and the staff were friendly and so helpful. Highly recommend.
- GergőJanuary 3, 2014Always fresh and delicious espresso, cortado and flat white. The place that really earned the title "café". A must-have for coffee lovers in downtown Bp.
We Love BudapestMay 31, 2013As for the assortment, Espresso Embassy is pillared by Drop Coffee-beans, and has caffeine-delicacies such as espresso, cortado, flat white, cappucino, and a must-try specialty, filtered coffee.
Bugrahan AyanogluMarch 24, 2019Totally a third wave coffeeshop. Perfect coffee beans and brewing. One of the best I have ever tried 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
- MagNovember 5, 2016Must visit when in Budapest. It's a walking distance from the parliament. Had an excellent batch brew of natural Kenya. Just ask the staff for recommendations!
EE is at the vanguard of Budapest's third-wave coffee scene. The baristas (some of them int'l award winners) are friendly and precise -- every cup is prepared with care. Ask for drink recommendations.
Susanna B.January 6, 2017Near to the basilica it was the nicest place to warm up. Loved the cheesecake 🍰 & high quality coffee ☕️ The staff was really friendly and helpful.
The place is very trendy with limited space. But the coffee is surely one of the best third wave coffee or whatever people call this and the staff are very nice.
Brian TomlinsonApril 19, 2015Had a Cappuccino (double) which was great. Sadly we got there a bit late on a Sunday morning and most of the pastries were finishes (whaaat??) Anyway...it was a cool spot and the Coffee was good.
Анна ЧевычаловаMarch 15, 2018This place is trendy for good reason, friendly staff, espresso and flat white were just the way I love them, also - carrot cake was very good!
mo pleasureMay 10, 2017good coffee & delicious flodni for brek. the croissants were also sinfully good if you like it crispy like me, albeit slightly too oily. gr8 place to plug your headphones in & ponder where 2 go next
Noah WeissOctober 2, 2014The best third wave coffee in Budapest. Can't go wrong with a cappuccino, or one of their more exotic iced espresso drinks.
David PrudenOctober 29, 2016Great coffee made with very high quality beans by professionals. Nice atmosphere too with cool lighting and old exposed brick ceilings. Top class.
Tanya VFebruary 17, 2015Simply the best coffee experience in Budapest. Amazing latte, fresh croissants in a very cosy ambience. Busy but flowing. Loved it
Jonathan Van den BroeckApril 6, 2015Recommended as the best coffeeplace in Budapest, checked out by us and approved :-) the staff is very nice and funny, the coffee is like heaven, the place is wonderfull and the food was great!
If you need a caffeine boost and quality coffee, look no further. Espresso Embassy has the best black coffee or cappuccino in Budapest!
Budapest 101February 8, 2018Get the flódni to eat: this Jewish cake has poppyseed, walnut, apple, plum jam, and this is the best in town. In summer drink espresso-tonic.
Christos DevarisJanuary 23, 2017I've tried various coffee places in Budapest. This is by far the strongest and tastier coffee. I would say the best cappuccino. Carrot cake was OK and creamy inside. Staff indeed is like best friends.
Tamás BeneJuly 27, 2016I've had 2 filter coffee, and a cold filter here, and it's an impressive adventure in the world of tastes. It's a lovely place, good design...highly recommend this place for coffee lovers.
Minimalist design coffee shop with great barista style coffee. Feels like a little bit of London. Serving local Hungarian roasted beans. 8/10
Zoltan MolnarJuly 15, 2017Best coffee in town, the big chains are nowhere near! The atmosohere is really nice, however, the cafe can get crowded ocasionally (because of obvious reasons). The prices are also reasonable.- John DoeJuly 12, 2014A great place to spend a couple of hours in the morning. Nothing but coffee (very good coffee) and some starchy foods, and plain tables - just for work or internet surfing. Lotta people w/computers ;)
Tiffany LeungJuly 29, 2014Like everyone says , incredible coffee and super nice staff! We came at noon and they were almost out of cakes.. The barista proactively let us know we were welcome to grab food from across the street
Romanka OndrováOctober 2, 2017I love hungary's cafes.. so much tasty and good looking cakes and coffee. The staff was so nice and That small interior was so pretty
MichaelaFebruary 1, 2015Probably the best coffee in the city. Local people are experienced and really nice 😊. I enjoy the design of coffeehouse. Definitely recomend it 👍
The unquestionable no.1 specialty coffee shop in Budapest. Staff is always friendly, coffee is amazing and home pastries complete the morning visit to this amazing downtown location.
Jakub ElicerOctober 30, 2016Excellent, modern coffee drinks. I prefer less acidity, but still it is one of the best espresso in the city, from the hands of the best baristas in Hungary.
Leoni PapangeliSeptember 6, 2016Double cappuccino is the best! I loved the milk's flavor,very special! Delicious cakes and very friendly staff! Very economical in my opinion
Lee CarpenterMay 25, 2019The coffee here is amazing, perfect milk complementing the espresso. Good, happy vibes in the store and animal friendly. Best coffee shop I've found in Budapest.
Surely one of the best coffee experiences in central europe. A must try for everybody, especially coffee geeks. A coffee-nazi free atmosphere. Tap water free as well.
Νikko LoNovember 27, 2014Hard to find but the inner room and the various coffee products are the main attraction of the espresso bar. English-speaking staff, very polite behaviour. 9/10
Oğuz KAugust 1, 2015They're typical third wave coffee place! I hardly find a place to sit but coffee is 10 out of 10! And they were really nice, they provided plenty of information about the beans that I bought.- DavidSeptember 13, 2017Best filter and pour over I've had in Europe. Delicious babka and pastries in general. Friendly baristas and great vibe.
Alex PyatetskyAugust 8, 2015If I lived nearby, I'd probably work from here. It's a weekend, so I just popped in. Lots of seating with plenty of standing area. Didn't have cold brew, but iced coffee was pretty good. Chill vibe.
AdleyMarch 19, 2017Yay, very nice interior, coffee great, many options of milk: soy, almond, coconut... and they have sooo amazing cakes!
MilenaMay 22, 2015Best, best coffee in Budapest, especially flat white. Very friendly staff, great interior and beautiful view from the window
Julia MolnarSeptember 26, 2017Excellent coffee with various milk options and super delicious pastries. Try their home made almond milk. Good place to work and meet interesting people
Mark DregerJuly 6, 2017Top notch coffee in a relaxing and social atmosphere. Take a seat inside or out and take your time.
KyzeJanuary 27, 2015The place is cool and the service is really nice and friendly. The coffee, accompanied with the pastry in the photo, excellent.
Nina ŠarugaNovember 4, 2018Mmm, delicious coffee and pastry, very simpa staff and cute little terrase to enjoy the goodies ;) perfetto 👌
Mehmet EkerbicerJanuary 1, 2017One of the best coffee in Budapest. Always crowded, better check for a place to sit before you order.
