café15 Arany János utca★ 4.8Wi‑FiWork 100
Espresso Embassy is a laid-back coffee shop in central Budapest serving specialty espresso drinks, tea, and pastries. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with a cool vibe that reviewers consistently mention.
Espresso Embassy is top tier in my opinion, spacious inside and out, with a large table, small tables and outdoor seating, though perhaps a little echoey.
Espresso embassy - top tier szerintem, kivul-belul tágas, van nagy asztal, kis asztalok, kinti rész, kicsit visszhangos talán

café4-5 Szent István tér★ 3.9Wi‑FiPowerWork 100
California Coffee Company is a bright, two-level café on Budapest's Szent István tér, with free WiFi, comfortable sofas and relaxed atmosphere. The menu includes fresh sandwiches, cakes and a range of coffees.
Its popularity is further increased by the large number of charging connections, and there is usually at least one free seat, so you do not have to worry about taking someone else's place while working for hours.
A hely népszerűségét tovább növeli, hogy rengeteg töltőcsatlakozóval rendelkezik, és általában van legalább egy szabad hely, így nem kell attól tartani, hogy az órákon át tartó munka közben mások helyét venné el az ember.
The Corvinus PostApril 2024Translated from Hungarian However, my favorite place's (California Coffee Company) locations are unfortunately full of university students studying during exam periods, and often I go there in vain because there is no seat.
Viszont a kedvenc helyem (California Coffee Company) üzletei sajnos süli időszakban tele van ott tanuló egyetemistákkal, sokszor hiába megyek oda, nincs ülőhely.

café29 Bartók Béla útWi‑FiWork 100
Unfortunately, the place does not have many charging points, so it is more suitable for handwriting/reading-based study, or it is worth arriving with a charged computer so that we can enjoy the pleasant, peaceful atmosphere undisturbed for a few hours.
A hely sajnos nem rendelkezik sok töltő ponttal, így inkább kézíráson/olvasáson alapuló tanuláshoz ideális, vagy érdemes feltöltött géppel érkezni, hogy pár órán át zavartalanul tudjuk élvezni a kellemes, nyugodt hangulatot.

The Wi-Fi is really good, and there are enough outlets to make it practical for working.
Freaking NomadsJuly 2026 06Fekete
café5 Múzeum körútWi‑FiWork 100
I like to do work sessions in Fekete on Múzeum körút. Also perhaps Flow on Andrássy ave. Not the most inexpensive places, I visit them bc they have vegan options.
r/budapestAugust 2023 07Művház
café33 Bartók Béla útPowerWork 100
Művház on Bartók is cool, there’s a designated coworking table with outlets, you don’t have to pay extra and no-one bats an eye when you’re there for hours! Another one I go to usually is Montage

café12 Károly körútWi‑FiPowerWork 100
There is no need to worry about charging either, so you can enjoy being here undisturbed for hours.
A töltés miatt sem kell aggódni, így zavartalanul lehet órákon át élvezni az ittlétet.
