Step into Főfotó, a unique café nestled in the vibrant heart of Budapest on Baross u 10. This isn’t just any coffee shop; it’s a delightful blend of café culture and photographic art, creating an inviting atmosphere that pulls you in with both aroma and visual delight.

As you walk through the doors, the cozy ambiance wraps around you like a warm hug. The low hum of conversation combined with the enticing smell of freshly brewed coffee provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation or a casual meet-up with friends. The café is adorned with fascinating analog photography exhibitions, offering a feast for the eyes that perfectly complements the delicious offerings on the menu.

Főfotó shines brightly when it comes to its coffee selection. You'll find a variety of options, including alternatives like oat milk—a thoughtful touch that many guests appreciate, as noted by returning patrons like Sav Cursio. Moreover, their rich, creamy lattes, including the touted salted caramel latte, promise a sweet embrace with every sip, even if it could benefit from just a hint more salt, as per customer feedback. The enticing aroma of the coffee alone is enough to keep you enchanted, inviting you back time and time again.

Breakfast and lunch dishes are prepared with care and creativity. Imagine indulging in a satisfying chicken wrap that hits the spot just right, leaving you full yet wanting just one more bite—a sentiment echoed by many satisfied guests.

Főfotó isn’t just about the menu; it’s about the experience. You’re stepping into a living gallery, where each click of the shutter immortalizes a moment, much like the flavors you savor during your visit. Jesus On Molly World Tour beautifully captures this sentiment, portraying Főfotó as a "snapshot in time," where art and relaxation collide in perfect harmony.

What a lovely place! We came for breakfast and it was so nice we came back! Food was lush, coffee was lovely, staff were wonderful! They even remembered that I drank oat milk too, and actually one of the only places that had milk alternatives! Would highly recommend!

FŐFOTÓ – A SNAPSHOT IN TIME In Budapest’s heart, where the neon hums, Lies Főfotó, where the past still drums. A bar, a gallery, a film reel’s dream, A shutter clicks—beer and light beam. Walls adorned with captured days, Echoing ghosts in grainy haze. A Polaroid smile, a long exposure stare, Lenses sip stories from vintage air. Here, the darkroom’s glow is dim, Yet every frame feels bright within. No borders drawn, no lines confined— Just faces framed, undefined. A restroom sign—no king, no queen, No binary script, just in-between. A door that opens, a welcome shot, A space developed—perfectly caught. So raise your glass, let shutters sing, In Főfotó, all lights can cling. A snapshot held, a moment free, A picture framed in equality.

Great caffe and bar experience with a compact but very exciting exhibition of analog photography. The cocktails are delicious the staff was very friendly and the place has a very cool unique vibe.

Very cosy place to meet friends for lunch. The chicken wrap was very tasty and a great portion. The salted caramel latte on the other hand was a bit less salty than appreciated.

Went here with friends and had a good time. I had a beer, they had other drinks, and we were all happy with what we got. The service was friendly and smooth. It’s a decent spot, nothing fancy, but goodish in a relaxed, casual way. Nice for a simple hangout!

Went there 3 times already. The atmosphere is very good, but when going in winter the place was quite cold inside. every rime I ordered I got good products, slightly costly. The service depends on the day. Some days the staff is warm and welcoming.

Really cool bar with a nice vibe. It’s pretty artsy bar with lots of paintings around. The first room has pictures hanging from the ceiling and a cupboard with old cameras. The adjacent room has a black interior with lots of cools art. It’s a nice bar near Kalvin ter that’s worth checking out.
