SM\u00daZ CAF\u00c9 – A MEETING PLACE RECONSIDERED<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The story of Sm\u00faz Caf\u00e9 did not start yesterday: it has been operating since 2014<\/strong>, but by 2024 it had undergone a complete renovation. Initially, it started as a flower shop and a caf\u00e9, but today it carries on the legacy of classic Pest caf\u00e9s in a modern form. The name is no coincidence: \u201csm\u00faz\u201d is a term borrowed from the Pest world of the forties for a light chat \u2013 and here it is not only an atmosphere, but also a mission. The goal is to create a place where everyone can feel at home<\/strong> \u2013 with a dog, a bike, an easel or even hiding behind a laptop. <\/p>\n\n

WHERE COFFEE AND CULTURE MEET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

One of the special features of Sm\u00faz is that the world of specialty coffees<\/strong> is presented here in a playful way: they use 42 Coffee’s own blend<\/strong>, whether it’s filter or espresso-based drinks. But if you’re looking for something more exciting, you can also try their bubble or spicy-colored coffee specialties<\/strong>. Here you can find creative variations, such as orange-vanilla latte, caramel flat white and the eternal classic dirty chai. It’s clear that the baristas know what they’re doing – every cup is made in perfect balance.The goal here is not coffee snobbery, but a relaxed, experience-based approach <\/strong>– coffee as a mood, as a social moment. Moreover, at Sm\u00faz, not only the coffee is special, but also the milk. <\/strong>The milk is provided by Dandelion, Vera and the other happy cows, who are residents of the Living Planet farm. These cows live in biodynamic farming, where every step is based on the harmony of nature. This not only affects the taste of the milk, but also means that by consuming it you are contributing to more sustainable and ethical agriculture. It is delicious, fresh, and completely natural. <\/p>\n\n
