About
The building of our latest CCC shop in Liszt Ferenc tér boasts an impressive history: it used to accommodate Japán („Japanese”); a hip and widely frequented coffee house at the turn of the century. Therefore, we fully intend to restore the reputation and air of what was once among the most popular places in vintage Budapest. When designing our coffee shop, we were striving to retain the mood as well as the cultural-historical heritage; that’s why we put significant effort in the artistic renovation of the original ceiling pattern resembling Japanese bamboo shoots. While doing justice to our characteristically youthful and dynamic style, we paid homage to the cultural heritage by adjusting the interior design to the turn-of-the-century atmosphere – and by installing a working piano, which our guests have been happy to try since the very first day we opened.

Had a bounty white chocolate frappé. It was 34 Celsius. It was great. The hazelnut macchiato, however, was a disgusting syrup drink. Too sweet, a bucket of milk and somewhere in there coffee of some kind. Conclusion: American chain coffee shop that sells bad coffee, yet a good frappé.

Lovely staff and enjoyed my mango smoothie, iced chai latte my daughter had was amazing! Nice clean place to rest our weary tourist feet, and pop to the toilet. Nothing to dislike here and would visit again. Looking at past reviews I wonder if we are talking about the same place? Don’t believe all you read. Could easily sit here with a book, lots of areas to sit in on two floors.

The place is beautiful, and the atmosphere is wonderful. As for the services, they are normal. In my personal opinion, there is no reason for me to visit this place again. I took cold coffee with a chocolate cake that was solid, so I asked the waiter to replace it, but the funny thing is that he offered me another cake, and it was also hard, and it was clear that it had been stored from A period of more than a week, and this is a shame for a famous café

What a disappointment! I go there twice a week. Ordered my coffee and waited at the counter for them to prepare it. The lady comes to me, whispers something and hands me the coffee. Minutes after I go to sit she is looking who took the wrong coffee. I said it might have been me. They were looking at me like I committed a crime. Felt really uncomfortable. They made us go back at the counter and pay for another coffee with a 20% discount 🤬🤬🤬

Nice premises. Staff were ok. Good was poor. Bought a smoked salmon bagel, and had to play"hunt the salmon", and a cream cheese bagel that was tasteless with next to no cream cheese.

Rafaelo cake worst I have ever had. Latte as a milk shake, no foam, just blended milk with some coffee.

The place is just awful. The environment, the blend of the coffee, the service, the effort for ppl to understand the order... rocket science! Plans to have breakfast here were dropped immediately. Even for coffee it is not recommended!

The place is really big and cosy. The coffee shop is self service, and you have to wait for your coffee too long. The coffee is okay .

I come in here every time I visit Budapest as the iced latte’s are phenomenal. Tuna bagel was very good too & made for a great quick breakfast. Location is perfect, sit outside & watch the world go by in a leafy square.

We like to come here for morning coffee and sunshine.The cafe is located across a lovely park in a street full of restaurants. You can sit outside but there are limited tables and it's a walking zone so if you don't like the crowd you could sit inside. My bf especially likes to come here for their coffee and we always visit. They have seasonal varieties and one time I ordered lavender latte. The taste would be incredible if it wasnt so sweet, I don't like my coffee sweetened and the flavor was premade so it was a drag but still the lavender taste was good. I on the other hand come here for the bagels. I just love them,and as we always come here in the morning they are freshly made and they can grill them for you. There are many you can choose from and the ingredients are never lacking.The bagle itself is crispy on the outside and soft on the iside.The other cakes and muffins are all a bit too sweet if you are into that.You can also buy tiny packs of nuts and raisins and other power up snacks,it's a good on the go much. There are souvenirs too from coffee mugs to coffee itself. Nice place to sunbathe in the morning while sipping coffee and munching on those bagels.

Can’t say much for coffee although they do serve lactose free milk but stay well away from the smoothies - water and ice with a few seeds

We stopped by the California Coffee Company. The Frosty Coffee Frappe was very delicious. I however requested nicely for almond milk to be used. I was told it was ok to do this. We later went to a different location and they told us it was not possible as it was pre-made. The next day of my vacation was ruined. I am lactose intolerant. I am not trying to be a pain to the backside when I ask for almond milk. I am asking because animal milk makes me sick. A wasted day because someone can’t be bothered to tell me there was already milk in it. This is unacceptable.
