Apricot Coffee — Restaurant in Budapest

The vast majority of reviews are indeed genuine but they reflect the friendliness of the staff, the reasonable pricing and laid back attitude more than the quality of the hard product.

Apricot Coffee opens its doors earlier than most cafes in Budapest.

There is an 'after party' atmosphere inside that includes loud music so for young people (and those young at heart) it is a winner but older people and the intellectually gifted will probably be lucky if they find a seat in the outside terrace.

The caprese sandwich was tasty because it is made of sourdough bread and is toasted but a real caprese should have better quality tomatoes (preferably sliced cherry tomatoes and these are not expensive in summer).

It was also missing basil leaves and grinded pepper to elevate it to the next level.

The espresso machine is an older mid sized La Marzocco.

The latter are actually fresh so the coffee is...

While in Budapest for two weeks, we went to 2-3 different Cafés per day to try their Espresso... and Apricot was, hands down, the BEST!

The vibe is so warm and welcoming! 🥰 The owner, Balász, was a total sweetheart and so fun to chat with! Viktor, the barista, was super talented! Tina, Viki, and Flora were amazing servers and remembered our order!

They have two Coffee Bean varieties to choose from daily - a House Blend and then a rotating single origin Bean. We would always rotate daily which we had!

Our favorite was a Double Espresso followed by a Bulletproof Coffee. And the Bulletproof Coffee was DIVINE! It is made with just Espresso + Unsalted, 82% Fat Butter + MCT + Water... but it is amazingly creamy and delicious! Perfect way to start every morning before we hit the pavement to explore Budapest!

Thank you, Apricot Family! You will forever remain in...

Tried Dirty Chai - first time trying this and was amazed at the quantity, quality and the perfected taste.

Ambiance and staff - It's in a nice corner of Budapest, usually quite road and hence good to enjoy a coffee. The owner himself, is one of the kindest I've met. He was courteous, and when a third person join my friend. He didn't intervene to ask if we needed anything. But simply brought a glass of water as it was a hot day and asked if we were all right. O instantly felt I should ask my new friend to instead have a Coffee. That ladies and gents is how hospitality should be.

After we were done with the place we were about to leave , note he was waiting for us without prompting us to leave. He said we were free to grab the days croissant and pastry of the day free of charge. We actually ended up just...
