We noticed that there was still room in Budapest for a luggage storage concept. We found a location that was much bigger than what we needed for lockers alone, so we rented a coffee machine and started serving sandwiches and cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very quickly, we realized that what we enjoyed most wasn\u2019t just running the business, but meeting people from all over the world. Hospitality became our real passion. My sister and I completed barista training, invested in our own coffee machine, and started sourcing different coffees, including decaf and filter options. After two years, we evolved into a concept that combines a brunch caf\u00e9 with luggage lockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that makes us different from many caf\u00e9s is what we like to call&nbsp;<em>coffee democracy<\/em>. Whether someone prefers a classic dark Italian roast with robusta or a light-roasted 100% Arabica specialty coffee, we believe both deserve a place on the menu. At the same time, we built a breakfast menu inspired by our travels across Europe and the conversations we had with our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From day one, our biggest difference has been that we\u2019re a family business. Every member of our family worked here in the beginning, and that personal approach still defines the atmosphere today. We want every guest to feel as if they\u2019re visiting someone\u2019s home rather than just another caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216757 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1330.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What part of the day, space, or creative process do those who work here enjoy the most?<\/strong><br>The best part is definitely the service. Seeing guests enjoy a carefully brewed coffee, a creative brunch dish, and genuine hospitality is what motivates us every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also passionate about developing new dishes, discovering new coffees, and working with local roasters. Together with our head barista, who is also a graphic designer, we even create our own merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team plays a huge role in everything we do. We mainly hire university students, train them according to our own values, and, after about a month, provide barista training so they can work both behind the coffee machine and on the floor. It keeps their work more varied while helping them develop new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also involve our team in brainstorming new menu items, drinks, events, and social media content because we genuinely value their ideas. We\u2019re probably proudest of the team we\u2019ve built and the welcoming atmosphere they create every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216758 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0896.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If someone is coming in for the first time, what should they not miss?<\/strong><br>Definitely the coffee. We put a lot of care into every cup.

We\u2019d also recommend the Turkish Eggs, which many guests say are among the best in Budapest, followed by one of our fluffy pancakes or our classic Nutella cr\u00eapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our menu is inspired by breakfast cultures from across Europe and includes plenty of vegetarian options, so there\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216759 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/C80A0720.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What has been an interesting challenge that has made you rethink something about the project?<\/strong><br>One of our biggest recent challenges was the Airbnb restrictions in our district. Since a large part of our luggage storage business depended on tourism, it encouraged us to focus even more on becoming a destination brunch caf\u00e9 rather than just a convenient stop for travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also reminded us that you have to keep adapting. We always keep an eye on current trends. If something works, we develop it further; if it doesn\u2019t, we\u2019re not afraid to try something new. That\u2019s how ideas like our Bottomless Mimosa Brunch on Tuesdays and Fridays were born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216760 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A8378.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What influence, idea, or reference continues to shape the way you work today?<\/strong><br>We\u2019re constantly inspired by some of Europe\u2019s most iconic brunch caf\u00e9s, from Lisbon to Paris, Madrid, and Barcelona, while also keeping a close eye on Budapest\u2019s excellent coffee scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, we stay loyal to our own philosophy.

When we found it, very few people believed it could become a successful business, but we saw its potential from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216764 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/858A0135.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If this project were a city, a book, or a record, which would it be and why?<\/strong><br>It wouldn\u2019t be a single city, because every day we welcome people from all over the world. If anything, it would be a place where different cultures naturally meet over good coffee and brunch, a reflection of the international community that has grown around Lion\u2019s Locker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if we had to choose one city, it would be Barcelona.
