Móka Budapest
A multifunctional little corner
It got the longer version of its name, Módszertani Kabinet from the board above its door which had been kept there from the communist times before the system change. However, the short version, Móka, simply means fun. Móka’s character instantly drew my attention with its modesty, mixed with its eclectic cosiness, friendly staff, and very fair prices, especially as compared to prices on the Buda side.
For sunny days, there are a few benches and tables to sit outside while drinking your fröccs (soda and wine) or having a good meal. Besides the drinks, Móka serves delicious breakfast, lunch as well as daily food. Mostly, local guests living nearby who come here, but it also attracts students and people with a generally good vibe. It is very small and located on a street not very well-known in Buda.
Móka is one of my favorite spots to hide from the fast pace of the city and to naturally feel like I'm at home with some kind people I only half-know around. If I get a chance to come here early for a good breakfast, the day will undoubtedly go on balanced and happy. I especially like their ever-changing biscuits besides their coffee.
