Hidden jewels of Budapest: Massolit books and café


Looking for a place where to get lost in between a mountain in books? Where to shelter from the overwhelming quantity of work CEU kindly provides us with? Maybe you are just looking for a place where to hide form your beloved classmates, who you see every single day despite of all your efforts. Or somewhere to keep on procrastinating. Or a different place to study in. Or, what the heck, just a place to read and have a nice coffee.

In any of those cases, you should definitely visit Massolit. This little and almost undetectable café is one of those many wonderful secrets of the VII district. Placed close to Klauzalter and WesselenyStreet,it is a little haven of peace and literature in the heart of Pest. Inside you will find a little bar completely surrounded by self’s filled to the top with books both in English and Hungarian. The café extends to the other side of the building, where it opens to a wide and charming gardened yard, with some chairs that, unfortunately, won’t find many users until the weather improves in spring.

On the literary side, the book specialises in topics related with World War II, the holocaust, the soviet occupation of Hungary… in the gastronomical arena, the offer is limited: mainly coffee and tea. But they prepare remarkably good brownies!
Definitely, a tasty little coin of piece in our busy lives! From the CEU weekly, we recommend you this café for the next afternoon you do not know what to do (we hope this means soon).
