Omg

Everything we had was outstanding. We ordered the spicy potato gözleme (not spicy at all) and the belgian dark chocolate pancake. Life hack: we also ordered a side of the pistachio cream (we asked and confirmed it’s also vegan) and poured it on the pancakes and omg!! My mom said “life changing, and possibly the best thing i’ve ever eaten” and she doesn’t usually like pancakes that much. The server was also very friendly and helpful. Iced tea (mom asked for it sweet) and latte were also very good. Note that the address listed on Happy Cow is correct but it shows up in the wrong place on the Happy Cow map (I’m guessing they changed locations and it’s showing an old location?). Not sure how to fix that

Hi, I went here today and they told me there is milk powder in the pistachio cream, so it is not vegan 😔

Lovely breakfast with vegan/veggie options

Really great restaurant located within a hotel but takes walk-ins. Serves both vegan and veggie options with all milk alternatives available at a minimal extra cost. Great service and really enjoyed the food.

Pros: Pancakes, Atmosphere, Service

Cons: Extra charge for plant milk

Lovely place for brunch

Pancakes were so tasty. There was oat and soya milk available. My wife had the shakshuka and it was nice but would have been better with vegan feta or something else along with it.

Pretty and artsy

This place is beautiful. Theres a lot of art in the wall and the interior is beautiful.

Staff was nice and attentive, they explained the dishes and food came quickly.
The food itself was nice. The bread was extremely good, crispy and fluffy at the same time. I would have even been happy with just the bread. The shakshuka was nice as well, very garlic heavy, but a nice and light breakfast.
The strawberry matcha was abolutely delicious, it was a real treat after a seven hour journey!

It is a bit more pricey than similar establishments in Budapest though.

Absolutely stunninnnng!

I come here almost every week, since I live near. Coffee is affordable, at a fair price, and the food...I can't describe how good they are from the plating to the taste. Everything is amazing! The inside of the café looks beautiful, adding to the chill vibe it gives. The people who work there are also one of the kindest I've ever met! Excellent service and more excellent people! (the cute doggie is just an extra!) Their vegetarian and vegan varieties are so creative and filling. My favorite has to be the Cilbir and the white chocolate pancakes. 10/10 recommend.

Delicious food with attentive service

I have been fortunate to eat here many times both in their old venue and now current one at Brody House. The food is v tasty and prepared with soul. I am sucker for the cheese gozleme - never get bored of it - and the pancakes are killer.

Pros: nice vibe, consistent food quality, knowledgeable servers

Nice place to stay

We had a lovely brunch at this restaurant. I hoped for more vegan options and bigger portions. I ordered two dishes and was satisfied after that but one would have not satisfied me. I loved the decor and the staff was very friendly. Also liked the fermented water!

Pros: Nice pancakes , Lovely place with modern art, Friendly staff

Cons: Small portions , Pricey

More Hipster less Turkish

The food was great, but I expected a more (traditional) turkish restaurant. On the menu the only turkish dish were gözleme and the rest was pancakes, granola …

Delicious pancakes in lovely courtyard

Got the dark chocolate pancakes, an orange juice and a Turkish coffee. The pancakes were amazing, the juice was good, I've had better coffee. The location is super cozy and it is well worth a visit.

So good we went back twice

I was blown away by the fruit compote pancakes I had and came back the next day to try the gözleme which kind of reminded me of scallion pancakes. Coffee was good too. Really cool art on the walls and music really gave the place a lively atmosphere.

Pros: Delicious food, Good, friendly staff, Great ambience

Delicious Gözleme 🤩

The beetroot latte and turmeric latte were both light and delicious. Gorgeous latte art and while the beet root could have been stronger in taste and color, I find it better to be too light than too strong. I loved the gözleme and enjoyed every bite. ☺️😌

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Not fully vegan , Not many base vegan options (w/o removing things)

Good Place in an Amazing Setting

Tasty food, friendly staff and a cool vibe make this restaurant a great place to visit. The service took a little longer, but they were very friendly and it wasn’t big of an issue.

What I was missing a little were the amazing-looking Simits (Turkish bagels) that you can see so prominently on the HappyCow app, because it’s actually the restaurant’s title picture on HappyCow. To be honest, I mostly came there for the Simits. However, since they moved to a new location, they don’t offer those Simits anymore!
I asked the waiter about it and he said that so many people are actually asking him about the Simits, so they might re-introduce them at some point 😅
Apart from that, it was an overall nice experience!

Pros: Good Food, Amazing Setting

Cons: No Simits!

Loved it all

Went there for bday brunch and loved it all. Very friendly staff, incredible interior and amazing food. It's definitely a must.

If we were very critical, the service could be a little bit more attentive (cleaning plates from the table after finishing food, etc.)

Anr be careful the location has changed.

So damn good!

Foodwise one of the best vegetarian cafes I’ve ever been to! They have a lot of vegan options and the vegan pancakes and vegan sandwiches were sooo delicious and definitely not your typical sandwich with hummus or avocado you would get in other places. Would really recommend!
