New York Café - New York Café

Judging by the fact that you get charge a service fee of almost 10 euros... and that the prices are about 3 to 4 times the ones you can find in other places in Budapest, the service should have been way better. The service was actually not that good I would not recommend this place, for anything more than just a few photos. The place is very pretty on the inside, it would have been nice that the service and taste of the food matched the interior... There is sometimes life music, either piano or a group of musicians, which is quite nice. You can also order coffe or hot chocolate with 24k gold sprinkles on top (as written on the menu)

Feels like you are in a royal palace. Everything is just so extra about this place.? The interior.. the entry.. the food. The servers are very friendly and accommodating. I wouldn't recommend getting the gold coffees as they add no extra value when compared to the normal ones. Neither adds up in the look. So it's just spending extra money for something which is not worth it. The apple cake is great. The musicians are fantastic and play really great music. It adds up to the charm of the place. They also have a postcard service which I found fantastic as I love sending postcards to my family and friends. A definitely must visit place in Budapest ?

So how do I start, it’s definitely worth visiting but just to see the cafe. If you don’t have a reservation they will make you sit in the end of the place where neither the servers are interested to serve, the end side barely feels like the part of the cafe. They have already made a name so even if people Read negative reviews they would still go. The food is okay you can get better quality and taste in other restaurants as well. No doubt the interior is beautiful but only the roof interior. I would suggest just go there take one picture and come back. Beacuse they know we are tourists and do not care. We were made to sit in the end and had to request the server to take the order. Also they aren’t the most beautiful cafe I personally cannot say this because we were made to sit somewhere away from everything where we barely could see any part of the cafe. So it’s a good marketing strategy to attract customers. I would recommended that make a reservation prior and tell them that the table should be in between the busy area and not some ending side which doesn’t feel like the part of the cafe

Lovely cafe with impeccable (Christmas) decoration. Beyond that, the quality of both service and goods is highly debatable. I found the service relatively slow and the seating arrangement quite “packed.” As for the prices, that was quite a big disappointment. We were planning to get some pastry to “experience the whole concept’ but when I saw the prices on the menu, I admit that I was about to pick my stuff and run through the back door. The cappuccino was good but definitely not the best coffee I have had (especially for one that costs approximately 8€). I understand that the maintenance cost can be high for an exquisite building like this. Yet, this does not compensate for the unreasonable pricing of hot beverages.

It’s more restaurant than cafe. Prices are high. There is a live music. It’s very beautiful inside. 4 because: - in the menu it was written that main courses are from 11 but they refused to get order until 12 - the coffee was almost cold when I get it - cheesecake was average taste

Gorgeous place for enjoy the a breakfast or tea time. The food is quite common and overpriced but is acceptable because your bill are paid for the environment but not the food. The place is a tourist attraction in Budapest, others than early morning, it is always a lot of people. It’s better to book early before. The breakfast buffet availability is determine by the hotel guest they have so it’s not 100% available for external guest.

This cafe is probably on most tourists hit list l first visited here around 30 years ago when it hadn't been renovated and the cakes were around £0.50 each! At the time it wasn't very touristy and I loved its faded grandeur and the attentive service. The place is stunning but it now appears to suffer from over tourism. The food and service are nothing special and it is very pricey compared to similar venues. That said it is still worth a visit in order to admire a very opulent cafe from another age but you may be better off eating and drinking elsewhere.

Well, disappointing experience. The building and the hall itself is fantastic - a gorgeous memento of the old architectural talent and creativity. The food, the coffee and the service is overrated. The coffee, we had 2 cappuccinos, were both quite cold and the taste was a bit better than from a vending machine. The cake, we had the Banana flavored hazelnut „stone”, tasted very good - that's why the 1 star! The serving is retro - if you want to put it nicely - or rather reflects the feeling and style of the 80's in Hungary. Only 2 pieces of porcelain was from the same producer! All the plates, the coffee cups are heavy, nothing special white porcelain. The furniture and the whole ambient is like what they could find at a garage sale of an outdated hotel. The staff are nice young people, quite disciplined, but lack personality, emotions and kindness. Maybe the best if you grab your coffee at a fast food place nearby and just wonder in to be amazed by the building itself. Oh, and for all that experience I 've paid a lot - service included. Shame.
