Reviewed December 28, 2023

Cakes are delicious, service leaves much to be desired. Waited 15 mins. sitting at our table, before managing to get the attention of a passing waitress to take our order. Order then took another 13 minutes to arrive (a coffee, a lemonade & two pieces...of cake). Noticed other people waiting who then left the café without even having any wait staff go to their table. Not a place to visit if you're in a hurry. More staff are needed or at least the ones here should be much more alert & attentive.More

We went in here as it was located just by the Christmas Market in Vorosmarty square, initially just for a coffee. However when we saw the interior and the display of cake we ended up with two coffees and cake, both were so good.

Visited here to have a hot chocolate but upon arrival was amazed by the selection of cakes and pastries and had to try some. The service was great with very polite and friendly staff and the cafe is beautiful. The hot chocolate was lovely and...the cakes too, would definitely recommend a visit if you are in Budapest!More

We dropped in here on a Saturday evening. There were alot of people but were lucky to get a table. The cakes were OK (not outstanding) and the coffees were just OK. The staff was nice. We paid HUF 11,000 including VAT and tips.

We enjoyed cakes and coffee one afternoon in September with our Hungarian relatives. We were pleased with our selections, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is so charming.

Old style coffee place. The service was fine and the waiters polite. The chocolate cake was just ok and the flavored green tea was ok. We paid around 5 eur per person.

We called here twice during a short stay in Budapest. The first occasion was excellent and would deserve a 5 star review. We had tea and cake which were excellent but what made it were the superb helpful friendly staff who explained the difference between...the cakes. When we went back for a second visit the difference was enormous. This time we had a couple of ice cream sundaes which were again excellent, but the staff were unfriendly and off-hand. This made the experience poor and resulted in a lowering of our rating. Just goes to show how important staff interaction is!More

Realy nice interior, the desserts were very good. But the coffee.... If you expect to have a cup of high quality coffee, do not go there. It is as simple as you get from the simple coffee machine in a simple hotel for your breakfast.

Szamos is located in the heart of the tourist Mecca of Budapest, the Vaci utca. So yes, it is a "tourist trap" but it is a very pleasant place to get some good pastries and an exceptional cup of coffee....

I love this place with its cosy interior! They offer good coffee and some good cakes like eszterhazy thaler, but the fruit cheescake (I've tried the mango maracuja one) is terrible! It is like biting in a plastic dummy! ... no taste at all !!!...... no fruit taste, no cheescake taste ... really nothing! The quality does not meet the place and demand. Very disappointing!More

Poor service on 1st September at 16.00pm. Two staff and only three customers. They ignored us we didn’t matter. Too busy to sell us anything. I waved. A girl came towards us, and walked right past. The table was sticky and not clean. Not how...to run a business during Covid.More
