Humans can distinguish between around 10,000 different scents, but there are even some distinctive ones among these that cannot be mistaken for anything else.
The smell of the pages of a book, for example, and the aroma of fresh coffee. When there are both of these in your surroundings, you can smell the aroma of tranquillity and perfect relaxation. This is just what the Íródeák café next to the county library offers.
Although this space is tiny, with so many masterpieces of world literature crammed on the floor-to-ceiling shelves, it’s exactly this cosiness which gives the place its unique atmosphere.
And last but not least, it preserves the smells that are best suited to a quiet read or perhaps good conversation with friends. It’s also great for a first date: you can quote from one of Shakespeare’s classics so you’ll never be lost for words.
