I had heard about Meinl bank because of a recent scandal there. On Meinl's website, I found this:
Sales organisations in Austria, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia Slovenia and the United States supply hotels, restaurants, food stores and other institutions with company products.
And when I did a search for 'Meinl' and 'Budapest' I found this website, which describes their business there as "Retail sale in non-specialized stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating".
As far as I can tell, they have some retail operations in central Europe, but no cafés outside of Vienna and Chicago (and what I remember of the Graben store, it was mostly retail with a cafe tucked inside, like a Whole Foods).
