Madal Budapest

Space for coffee, relaxing or work

"The Madal cafes in Budapest and their terraces have a very positive atmosphere - I love coming here with friends to work, chill or read together..."

Both the popularity and number of Madal cafés are growing, as they recently opened the fourth Madal in Budapest. Each one has a very good location; sometimes, I have the feeling that whenever I'm running errands in the city, whether I want to or not, I eventually stumble across one of the Madals.

Madal has a wide space with good lights that create a generally very positive atmosphere. I like sitting outside on Madal's terrace with friends to study or work together, but on colder days, the inside is also perfectly made for concentration.

Madal is a calm spot in the city to get yourself together, get something warm and study or work in the sunlight or in the quiet wooden rooms. When I'm craving something different from a simple cappuccino, I can choose from amazing beetroot and turmeric lattes or juices.

Besides the exceptionally delicious drinks, the bakery products are also high quality. Let me have a small snack or a big loaf; you won't be disappointed.  If you are into speciality coffee, they sell a wide variety of coffee beans and equipment to create a similar experience at home.
