This traditional Austrian café, probably, had better days. Now the cakes are a bit synthetic, and so is the coffee. The waiters are somewhat sleepy. But it is packed anyway as in good old days.

Your negative description of the Müvész Kávéház is really not applicable. On each of the many occasions that I have visited this establishment, the patisserie has been excellent and the coffee every bit as delicious as the Kaffeehäuser of Vienna or Zürich. You forgot to mention that Müvész Kávéház is closed on Saturdays. As for better days, they really were better, until Starbuck's and Costa's renamed their dishwater.
