Sarki Fűszeres Budapest

Corner Café & Deli

"Sarki Fűszeres is a beloved café near Szent István Park with a charming triangle terrace — perfect for a relaxed breakfast, or a drink after a long day."

Sarki Fűszeres is a beloved café in the heart of the XIII. district. Locals come here mostly on the weekends or on special days for breakfast, lunch, or an evening drink.

It has an iconic triangle-shaped terrace with a beautiful arbor above it, well-known to people in the neighborhood. Inside, there's also a mezzanine level with some tables, which is a cozy spot to sip tea on colder days.

Prices are on the higher side, as with most cafés in this area, but its classic atmosphere and the quality of food and drinks make it worth it.

I also enjoy coming here for its closeness to Szent István Park — a small, green leisure park near the Danube, perfect for reading, hanging out with friends, or simply relaxing on the grass while enjoying the view of the Buda hills and Margaret Island.

If you're in the mood for something small and sweet, try their Flódni, a traditional Jewish dessert.


Sarki Fűszeres also operates as a deli, they have a selection of local products and specialty items like some fancy chocolates.

Extraordinary coffee in Budapest

Imagine a coffee with a small doze of mascarpone topping up with an espresso, which is a real delight for your taste buds, and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Big Ben Teaház

Heavenly Hideaway

On the menu there is a lot of different and unique sounding teas, and I would recommend trying the dark chocolate tea with a sip of cream on the side.

Say Cheese

An honest smile on your face

You can find many different kinds of cheesecakes here but one standout recommendation is the cottage cheese and raspberry, a unique Hungarian taste.

Arquitecto Pitpit

The secret garden

In the place of a former canteen, a tapas bar opened, with the cute name of Arquitecto Pitpit, recalling the birds that often chirp in this leafy court.

Csendes Vintage Bar & Café

Surrealist blast

"Csendes Vintage Bar & Café" in Budapest means 'quiet' but the name is a bit misleading - it's a buzzy ruin bar without the rains & a comfortable eatery...

The Magic

Tasty Harry Potter experience

It does not look like Hogwarts, but rather a medieval castle where each part has a reference to an event or a place from the books of J. K. Rowling...

Zoo Cafe

Meet the animals

One of the ideas behind the place is to give a possibility for those who want to adopt an animal to try spending some time with them at the café.
