Barako is a place where you get the best quality coffee from real coffee enthusiasts at a a cozy place. The place tends to attract a very valuable mix of interesting people and quite often, you find yourself engaged in conversations with strangers. Go, check...it out, you will be happy you did :)More

If you feel like you're not getting along with your morning, just go for a FlapJacket Bulletproof coffee and it will make it up to you ;) Also deserves a chat with the owner!

The coffee shop is in Buda side, the building is a bit difficult to find/see, the place is also small inside (maybe enough space for maximum 8-10 people?), but it felt very cozy. I was the only customer there when I came in and as...a fellow filipino, the owner and I had a little chat which lasted maybe for an hour or something (and his friend/customer came in and talked with us too). I ordered their special brew (i think it's called nitro, if i remember it right), and their ube cheesecake. Everything was really good! And I really like that their coffee beans come from Philippines, that's what makes this coffee shop unique.More

Firstly, the coffee was awesome! I have never ever tasted anything like this. Love at first taste. The owner is fluent in English, and I think he speaks fairly well in Hungarian too - maybe he is a bit shy when it comes to speak...Hungarian, but I can't blame him :) Go, have a cuppa, I'm sure you'll love it.More

Barako has very good coffee. Its a little outside the city center but its wirth visiting... Local feel

Barako is an exotic Philippine coffee treasure box on the Buda side quite close to river Danube. It is a small and cosy place, offering great variety of coffee specialties you've never heard of. Have you tried Brainfreezer or iced dripped coffee before? But if...you stick with your home "bathrobe" favorite, Ryan will create for you according to your request. + They serve the best blueberry cheesecake in town. Hurry up before it is gone – or before I get there hehe.More

Well, contrary to the last reviewer, I do think Barako serves the best coffee in town. Sure, it is not for food, hence no breakfast, but I don't think the place ever claimed that it has more than coffee and tea. Barako is a cosy...little place where you go for the best coffee and for the relaxed, welcoming and international atmosphere. If you are a coffee hypster or you are looking for design inspiration, the place is not for you. If you are looking for coffee, conversations, ad hoc jamming sessions of the owner and the guests, make sure you drop by while in Budapest.More

Best and strongest coffee in town - wakes up the dead, even! If you want a quick fix that inevitably turns into a longer fix, check out Barako - yes, the place is small but this is a shelter that you will put on your...checklist once you're in town. If you are a caffeine afficionado, this is a must!More

We went for breakfast. Expected great coffee. Espresso was poor and weak. No crema on top. Cappuccino was equally poor and luke warm. No food expect for half a cake in cooler. Place is small with two small high tables and one couch that has...seen much better days.More

It is a must! Not one must, but many. During your stay in Budapest you must go there, you must talk to the owner and ask for his recommendation, you must watch him preparing your coffee and you must drink it. I had Mud Honey....No mud, no honey there, only pure magic. The visit was more relaxing than Thai massage, also because the owner, who is not Hungarian, actually speaks English.More

Amazing barako coffee from the Philippines. Words cannot describe how mind-blowing this coffee is. My recent favorite there is flak jacket (coffee with coconut oil) which literally makes your heart sing - in a good way. Talk to Ryan, the owner, barista and coffee expert,...he is the friendliest coffee aficionado I've ever met. His personality and enthusiasm makes the already great experience even better. Tiny place that serves the best coffee in the city.More

This is the place if you are looking for truelly good coffee with truelly great crowd. A small and super friendly place, where cultures, languages and ides coexist, in a down to earth atmosphere. Ryan, the owner and the barista from the Philippines, and he...knows his craft effortlesly.More
