    This 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.

    I 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.

    Amazing 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.

    Lovely 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.

    This 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!

    Espresso 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.

    The 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.

    Always 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.

    As 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.

    Must 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.

    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.

    Had 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.

    The best third wave coffee in Budapest. Can't go wrong with a cappuccino, or one of their more exotic iced espresso drinks.

    I'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.

    If you need a caffeine boost and quality coffee, look no further. Espresso Embassy has the best black coffee or cappuccino in Budapest!

    Get 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.

    Best 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.

    Minimalist design coffee shop with great barista style coffee. Feels like a little bit of London. Serving local Hungarian roasted beans. 8/10

    A 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 ;)

    Excellent, 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.

    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.

    They'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.

    If 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.
