Művész Coffee House (Artist Cafe) — Restaurant in Budapest

There was a fur fashion show in 'művész kávézó' on the 25th of January 2018. Providing an opportunity and place for a fur fashion show is not something a highly regarded place should do (in fact no place or person should give an opportunity for such an abomination in our time) . Making bad decisions is a thing we are all humans it can be changed, can be apologized for but in this case this did not happen. Quite the contrary. After many people have voiced their concerns regarding this event they simply removed their reviewing possibilities from Facebook (yet they claim they are open to opinions and pro-free speech), then tried to make excuses. A few lines from their Facebook page where they 'addressed' the issue at hand: "We agree with freedom of speech and support those who fight for a cause, but as a coffee shop and confectioner we cannot form an opinion on what is wrong and what is right in the world." As you may see this is problematic on many levels. It is very much the problem and the task of a place who is openly inviting a fur fashion show in their facility to make a decision about what is right and what is wrong (especially after such a backlash from the public). Killing animals for fur is definitely wrong, there is no question. They could have cancelled the event and cut their losses way before all this bad reputation came into the picture. Please do not support this highly unethical practice. There was no need for this confectioner to take in such an event. Especially after facing so many...

I am an avid experienced traveler, very optimistic one, ready to embrace any other culture or customs and always trying to take even unpleasant moments with irony and good laugh)) but their service and manners managed to surprise me. The worst service ever. Unfortunately I don’t speak Hungarian, only four other languages but they were useless. Speaking Hungarian might probably change the situation) But ignorant me tried to order using English or Portuguese or Italian or German, cafe latte or coffee with milk or cafe com leite….. I didn’t succeed. Because very angry blond girl gave me a lesson: “ NO! Exspresso or Americano???” I swear she was pronouncing espresso like EXxxpresso and was very very insulted by my uncertain reaction. Finally I realized I can’t win here and agreed to have americano with milk aside and got the worst, the most watery and tasteless americano ever. I suspect it was just a water from washing coffeemaker) After that bracing experience I did not dare to even order a cake, payed quite a lot for two drinks for me and for my daughter (none of which ones we liked and finished) plus of course the service charge was included. Everything is a pleasure or a lesson in life. The second one here. I can hardly...
