Time for coffee

I love taking coffee in Budapest. It sounds weird from an Italian girl, but it's true. Here you can find awesome places to sit down, chill a little, read a book and eat cakes and cookies that in my Country would have cost a double price.

The New York Café has an incredible Neo Renaissance atmosphere.
Gold, red, marble. You can feel like Princess Sissi just entering this old fashioned palace full of red carpets and mirrors. Just don't go at New York Café on weekends. It becomes a kind of extremely crowded and noisy touristic meeting that makes almost impossible to relax in front of a cup of coffee.

If you're lucky, sometimes you can find almost nobody even in central coffeehouses. The last time I went at 68 Andrassy Café, located in the middle of Andrassy Utca (the Champs Elysée of Budapest) I was the only client. It was lucky because I could talk with Stefano, the Italian waiter that has been living in Hungary for 10 years and will tell you stories about his whole life and the history of Budapest without being asked. I tried Arany Galuska, a delicious Hungarian cake served with sour cream.
