By far the best possible stop in Normafa. More affordable than the others on the trail and less crowded.

The cafe was closed when we were there, but the view from the top of the tower was beautiful.

Not bad prices, coffee is okay. Overall not bad to stop by if you're at the tower already! I got an Americano for 600, prices have been raised since those pictures show on the listing.

Nice spot to get cold drinks after skipping the cable car and walking up the hill in the summertime. The interior is very cozy and has photos of the cafés history. Not ridiculously priced, either.

Fast, friendly service. We had really good coffees. They have the proper ice coffee with vanilla ice cream inside. The atmosphere of the place is great. Prices are good as well, not to mention the view from the top of the building...

A mix of a royal castle and hunting atmosphere with that of a week-day school trip. Observe animal trophies on the walls while munching away on a Balaton bar after spending too much time in the sun without enough hydration. Strangely, in spite of it being the weekend, and many people around, the place was deserted—perfect spot for a coffee stop before more walking. A very nice Americano for only 500, and the tower has nice view worth another 500.
