Great little cafe, we were a group of three couples that stopped for a warm up drink. We had flat white, cappuccino, English breakfast teas and earl grey. All great and really good value

Café is located in a nice cozy park. The waitress was very nice to me and my girlfriend. I didn’t expect food to be that good. Coffee was also very nice. One minus I see is the absence of umbrellas outside. There was a 3-4...empty tables because all of them were at the direct sunlight so we had to sit inside. In overall I would recommend to everyone this café, the place is nice, cozy, clean, waitress is polite and I would come here anytime.More

I was there yesterday with a friend. The waitresses were very rude. Next time I will ask for the complaint book, if I ever go there and experience the same. We felt unwelcome and inconvenient.More

I’m really sorry for your bad experience. It is not the normal way how we work. I hope you give us a second chance and we can prove it to you. If you come again, be my guest for that missing coffee ☺️

My husband and I went here for breakfast on our last day in Budapest. We really enjoyed our meal. We had extra cash still from our trip that we didn't want to deal with exchanging back to usd, so had some money to spare and...went all out. My husband got the hedonist breakfast (for about $14) that included eggs, and croissants, and a muffin plus juice and sparkling wine and coffee. I just got an omelet plate (for about $5.50) and liked mine a lot too. We sat outside near a stone wall and in the shade there were a few bugs, but we didn't mind them. We arrived before they opened and when they were supposed to open they still didn't quite open on time, and I think they were a little annoyed at us, but once we ordered (and got the big meal) they were friendlier and we had an enjoyable meal.More

Corvin Cafe is a small restaurant on Corvin Ter., below Buda Castle. I stopped in for an afternoon coffee; a menu board posted outside offered a number of Hungarian dishes, as well as cakes, kebabs, burgers, fries, salads and several vegetarian options. An inside display...case held the cake and cookie choices. I chose a brownie (rich and fudgey) to go with my cappuccino (hot, freshly brewed, and served up with a flair). The barista was friendly, and I enjoyed my snack in a small stone terrace overlooking a park and historical buildings.More

Stopped in here whilst walking around Buda, lovely spot for a quaint cafe, lady who served us was friendly and took time to explain the menu to me. We had a few glasses of wine & Beer, a warming bowl of meat soup with bread...and a portion of chips. Just what we were needing. Service was excellent and prices really good. Would definitely pop in for a drink and bite to eat if passing again.More

Well situated and good atmosphere, goat cheese salad was very tasty, not sure if the ice tea was really homemade but it was nice too, but the staff was horrible. We waited for too long to order and the waitress never asked if we have...everything or want to order something else. She looked at us like she was pissed that we came to her restaurant. The other waitress was the same, looked bored and annoyed. Too bad that the service was included, I would not have left anything if wasn’t.More
