We’ve already collected the best classic and hip-vibed cafés Budapest has to offer, but, on account of always being up-to-date, here’s another compilation concentrating on the newest coffee joints in Hungary’s ever-changing capital.

Caffé Torino

Located on Bródy Sándor utca (Bródy Sándor Street), in the vicinity of three universities – ELTE, Corvinus, and Semmelweis, to be perfectly precise -, Caffé Torino is a brand new, authentic Italian coffee joint offering much more than cups of tasty caffeine elixirs. Besides granting the opportunity to satisfy your daily pasta-needs, Torino also provides cakes, paninis, bruschettas, and aperitivo-sessions on Thursdays. The gist of the latter is that upon arrival – around 7 PM, preferably, although there’s no dolce vita without being late -, you pay a tad more for your first drink than the enlisted price suggests, though the extra cash enables you to munch all you can from the delicate bits lined up on the counter. If you’re a fan of Italian lifestyle, don’t mess around, head over to Torino in Budapest!Caffé 22 Situated at one of the busiest junctions of

Espresso Embassy

Located on Arany János utca (Arany János Street), right across an A-plus bakery and breakfast spot, Á table, Espresso Embassy might be the mountaintop of Budapest’s cafés. Spearheaded by the former and ever masterful baristas of Printa, the Embassy thinks outside the box when it comes to coffee-making; and, despite its premises, which used to give home to a secondhand clothes shop, puts brand new ideas into practice. A prime example for an innovation would be the so-called filter coffee, which, just like all the other caffeine masterpieces, is made from Has Bean beans. As for the non-liquid selection, it’s made up of sandwiches and various bakery products, so you might have a hard time deciding between Espresso Embassy and formerly mentioned Á table. As the proverb goes, to each their own, though, since we’re dealing with cafés right here, we’d recommend the Embassy.Vespa Caffé & Sandwich BarNamed after the iconic Italian scooter, this spacious café found next door to recently-opened Kolor, at the entrance of Gozsdu Udvar (Gozsdu Courtyard), was supposed to be as Italian as a football team capable of winning a major cup without scoring a single goal; but the result diverged from the initial aim, to say the least. The simple-as-it-gets interior – highlighted by a scooter on the wall – flawlessly harmonizes with the concept, though looks aren’t everything, and the content could use a hint of tinkering. Regardless, coffees are well worth a visit, and sandwiches, pizza slices, and various cakes can also be bought and munched on-site.
