6Dorado Café
Dorado is a plant-filled coffee shop situated on the rapidly gentrifying Klauzál Street inside Budapest's old Jewish Quarter. Unlike in the hole-in-the-wall cafés so common in Budapest, here patrons are welcome to linger at the long communal table without feeling rushed. There's everything from a V60 hand pour-over to espresso-based drinks and cold brew in the warmer months.
The Hungarian-Spanish owner duo, Emese Görföl and Mario Jimenez, keeps a vigilant eye on international trends, lately also serving kombucha and natural wines to the hipster-leaning crowd. If you'd like a bite to eat, go for the fresh pastries, or the avocado toast, which, served on sourdough and strewn with pickled onions and walnuts, is especially good.
