The times I love being a specialty coffee enthusiast is truly while traveling because: you’ll always have something to do!
During my very short visit to Budapest I only had 2 stops as some cafes I hadn’t been to before.
📍Kontakt, Röser Kft. (1-2)
Both the street of the cafe and the interior itself was a whole vibe. Even though it’s located very central and in a busy area it was hardly noticeable when you stepped inside.
The coffee was alright, when ordering the waitress didn’t seem to have any coffee knowledge (totally fine) so to not make anything complicated I had a nitro cold brew which was, well, alright. The brunch was really nice though but a bit pricey (which I expected) for being Hungary

📍 MERON, Egyetem Tér (3-4)
I stumbled upon their new location by accident while taking a walk, and WOW, it’s so beautiful! The handpainted glass, the two coffee bars (one for espresso and one for pour over) and the options? Just great! There were 6 different choices for filter and 2 for espresso, I drank a watermelon co-ferment and bought home a bag of their competition coffee. I am used to more light roasted beans, but it’s fun to try the roasting preferences of other countries. I did find though that the flavors were a bit more intense than what I usually prefer, but that’s fine. Really pleased with my visit and buy, will definitely come back!
