Where shall we have a coffee at Hegyalja?

The first specialty café of Hegyalja opened its gate in the centre of Tarcal right next to the Andrássy Residence in the season of 2021. Richárd Berényi from Pest and his wife, Ancsi from Tarcal started from the field of psychologist-mental hygienist and they named and launched their café under the Mount Tokaj inspired by an El Camino tour. An old cherry tree in the garden, light roasting, latte art, delicious muffins and croissant on the counter. People who are looking for new wave flavours, it’s a compulsory stop for them after lunch or before leaving! While the coffee is being seeped, Richard will certainly keep us talking.

The people who feel like walking in the environment of the old town in Tokaj, they definitely agree that we can’t miss the atmosphere of a genuine café from the baroque main street in the capital city of the wine region. Hajnalka Prácser besides making brilliant wines with her brother, Miklós the historical Erzsébet Pince, she and Miklós’s wife run a café, moreover a private roaster a few of steps away from the town square mellowed by age. Apart from their own packaged coffee their home-made pies and cakes are also worth a special excursion and we can take them with us as well. Let’s allow the atmosphere of the peaceful street view and buildings in downtown of Tokaj to enchant us.

However, they don’t specifically function as a café, we can have a chance for a correct espresso in LaBor Bistro also located in Tokaj, where both the cuisine and the wine selection are excellent, the same is true for ‘Első Mádi Borház’ (The First Winehouse in Mád) and for Dereszla Bisztró in Bodrogkeresztúr as well. If we go to Sárospatak, we have to stop at ‘A Boros Borbár’ (The Boros Wine Bar) in respect of wine tasting and/or buying wine, but they can readily help us with lunch, dinner and of course coffee People who travel entirely to Sátoraljaújhely, the ‘RongykutyaKönyvesbolt’ (Rag Dog Bookshop) may be a real oasis of civilization for them! Here, beside our coffee we definitely get some good words, stories and even book recommendations from the agile-organiser owner of the shop, Alíz Dankó.
