Robert Capa Cafe

The Robert Capa Center houses the largest permanent collection of photography by the famous Hungarian-born photographer and this cafe occupies the ground floor of this wonderful Art Nouveau building. So it is appropriate that a small photography exhibition space shares the premises with the scent of freshly ground coffee, which is strictly dark roasted because that is what the perennially cheerful owner, Zsóka, is partial to (I told Zsóka that her logic defies the rules of the marketplace but she doesn't seem to mind).

Also here: excellent morning pastries and sandwiches. The crowd is refreshingly diverse, with many young musicians from the conservatoire across the street and the nearby Liszt Academy (they enjoy discounts that us ordinaries do not). Open every day of the week!
