Espresso Embassy

Budapest


Some people say that this upbeat cafe just south of Szabadság tér has the best espressos, flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes in town (500Ft to 850Ft). Even if it doesn't win all the gold medals, it's nonetheless a top spot to fuel up. Try the excellent cold brewed coffee.
