Budapest's coffeehouse tradition dates to the late 19th century, when the city's grand kávéházak (coffeehouses) were the intellectual and literary hubs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The New York Café remains a jaw-dropping monument to that era. Today, a wave of specialty roasters in the Jewish Quarter and along Bartók Béla Boulevard are adding a modern chapter to this storied tradition.

Budapest's New York Café, opened in 1894 inside the New York Palace, is often called 'the most beautiful café in the world' and was a legendary gathering place for Hungarian writers.
