Cube Coffee Bar

Unlike the city center, the outer part of District 6, beyond the Grand Boulevard, isn't swarming with specialty coffee shops. In fact, Cube, a hip café occupying a hole in the wall, is a lonely warrior in the neighborhood, pushing the boundaries of new-wave coffee one batch brew at a time.

The options span the whole range, with both espresso-based (cappuccino, cortado, flat white) and filter coffees (V60, cold brew). Inside, I'm glad they retained the original terrazzo floors. These gray-and-white speckled square tiles used to be ubiquitous in Budapest but now fast disappearing. Once here, you could glimpse the wonderful Hunyadi Market across the square for a bit of time travel (an excellent pickled veggies vendor in the corner).
