Mantra Specialty Coffee Bar

Mantra is a specialty coffee shop in Budapest located on a charming downtown backstreet lined with trees and wrought-iron street lamps. Ironically, this quiet area is just a block from the tourist-heavy Váci Street. Mantra serves an especially broad range of filter coffees made with AeroPress, Chemex, V60, and Gina equipment. The light-roasted coffee beans arrive from Ethiopia, Brazil, and Honduras and there's also a few kinds of teas. The inside is fitted with Persian carpets, yellow leather couches, comfortable chairs, and big windows – yes, an ideal place for lingering. Open on Sundays, too.
