A café's character isn't shaped only by quiet weekday mornings — it shows just as much in the afternoons and evenings, when the space transforms into something else: a press venue, a brand event, an exclusive party. April at Smúz Café Budapest was exactly that kind of month — busy, exciting, and full of moments worth looking back on.
Here's a quick recap of what's been happening at our Budapest event venue over the past few weeks.
L'Occitane's 50th Anniversary Party
The globally recognised French beauty brand L'Occitane chose Smúz Café to celebrate its 50th anniversary with an elegant, wellness-focused evening party in central Budapest.
Guests — including a number of well-known Hungarian influencers and creatives — enjoyed a menu designed specifically for the occasion. The buffet was built around fresh, mindful ingredients, while the drinks came straight from SmúzLab: hand-selected specialty coffees, crafted matcha variations, and a few special non-alcoholic signature drinks tailored to L'Occitane's brand colours and values. A DJ kept the vibe going through the evening.
A brand's 50th anniversary isn't an everyday moment — and we're proud Smúz Café Budapest was the venue L'Occitane chose.
Dove “Real Body Talk Day” — Annual Event & Product Launch
On April 22, a Dove 's annual “Real Body Talk Day” — a full-day event featuring panel discussions, breakfast, lunch and the launch of the brand's newest product line, Dove Whole Body Deo . The day's central message was Dove's “Let's Change Beauty” campaign — an honest conversation about the female body, naturalness, and self-confidence.
Both the breakfast and lunch menus were built around fresh, nourishing bowls — selected to reflect Dove's values of care, naturalness, and wellbeing. The real highlight, though, was the drinks list : two signature beverages were created exclusively for the day:
- Watermelon Matcha — fresh watermelon purée and premium ceremonial-grade matcha
- Peach Spritz — house-made peach syrup, fresh citrus, and alcohol-free sparkling wine
These drinks were available only on this day, only to Dove's guests — and that's exactly the kind of detail that turns an ordinary event into a memorable one.
Imagine — A Well-Earned Stop After a City Walk
The Imagine city tour group has been our guest four times in April. Their concept is simple and lovely: guests explore the neighbourhood's hidden corners with an expert guide, then stop at Smúz Café Budapest to rest, talk, and reflect on what they've seen over a great cup of coffee.
For these visits we pay extra attention to pace. After a long walk, people need space — physically and mentally. Slower service, a quieter corner, comfortable seating.
E-Magine — A Pit Stop on the E-Scooter Tour
The E-Magine electric scooter tour group brings a different rhythm: faster, more energetic, with Smúz Café Budapest as a refreshing pit stop mid-tour. We greet them with light bites and specialty coffees — just enough to recharge without slowing the rest of the ride.
