The 50 best cake shops and cake bakeries in Budapest

Coffee shop with a lot of history. Great coffee and very nice cakes, the Ruszwurm custard cake was delicious. Avoid the lemonade; many people left it unfinished. Unfortunately, it's a popular tourist spot, so the shop is always very busy, and the service was very poor.

The cake was highly popular. I guess we are not for it as it had lots of cream but it is a cream cake so it’s only natural. It tasted good though. We just wanted to try this cafe as it has a long history. If you sit indoors, it is warm though so maybe sitting outdoors would be much better😀

Absolutely loved this patisserie! The cake was moist, flavorful, and perfectly sweet — you can tell it’s made with love. The coffee was rich and smooth, a perfect match. What really makes this place special is the charming old-school vibe — vintage decor, cozy atmosphere, and a peaceful setting that takes you back in time. A good spot to unwind with a treat. Highly recommend!

We came for the Kremes ( Vanilla Cream Slice) and stayed for the Almond cake. Last visit was 8yrs ago and it is exactly as we remember. Yes the wait might be long to get a table and the staff are busy, but that's because it is so good. There are lots of beautiful places to sit not too far from the cafe so if the line is long, grab it to go. We visited twice this time around and great both times

Historic and popular café near Buda Castle, but a bit overrated. We waited in a long queue for an outdoor table. Tried three recommended pastries—none were particularly impressive. Staff wasn’t friendly. Not accessible for wheelchairs—there are 3–4 steps at the entrance.

Good coffee and cream cake. The reason I gave it 1 star is because the service was bad. This cafe is known for its cream cake. Upon arrival I ordered 4 coffees and 4 cream cakes. We then got 4 coffees promptly and then just got 1 cream cake. I asked where the other 3 were and the server said they were sold out. Why couldn't he tell me this earlier? Secondly, this cafe is famous for cream cake, how could they sell out of such an iconic item

If you’re a fan of desserts and tasty pastries, you must try their pastries. You will not be disappointed. I bake a lot and what I tried was heavenly. Congrats for making cakes and baked goodies for almost 200 years. Food: 5+/5 - we had the crème cake, caramel cake and Eszterhazy torta! My favorite was the Ruszwurm cake. They even have cookies and gluten free options. Try their assorted drinks and ice creams. I had the sour cherry lemonade which was full of fruity taste. They also offer takeout if you choose not to wait. Service: 5/5 the servers outside did a wonderful job with the crowd control as the odd person tried sneaking in. The lineups can get crazy and hectic. Atmosphere: 4/5 - there was outdoor and inside seating.

We went to this cafe on a weekday afternoon, and the indoor area was full! Beautiful interior design, very elegant. We had the Hungarian classics on one plate, which contained three slices of dessert selections with vanilla ice cream and apricot sauce. To be honest, didn’t expect that’s how the famous Dobo cake tasted like😅it’s just not for the ones with weak teeth.. the top layer was extremely sturdy. We enjoyed the Gerbeaud slice more.

A truly charming spot that feels like time has paused. You may wait a couple of minutes for a table, but turnover is quick. Pastries are excellent. Opt for the tasting menu to sample the range. The coffee is the star: precise extractions, smooth milk drinks, and aromatic filters. Service is warm and attentive without hovering. A lovely place to drop in for a mid-afternoon reset or an unhurried chat. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Overpriced and not worth the hype. I visited Gerbeaud Café, intrigued by its historic reputation and grand interior, and went specifically to try the famous traditional Hungarian layer cake — Dobos Torte. However, the experience was quite disappointing. We visited after lunch hours and noticed a queue of about 10–12 people outside, even though it moved fairly quickly. Once inside, we were surprised to see the café almost empty. It really felt like they keep people waiting just to create an illusion of high demand — they could easily allocate seats faster. The most shocking part was the pricing. If you choose to dine in, you pay almost double — for example, a slice of Dobos Torte costs 4,250 HUF when eaten on the premises versus 1,990 HUF for takeaway. We decided to go for takeaway instead, and honestly, I’m glad we did. The famous Dobos cake itself was underwhelming — the caramel layer on top was rock hard and nearly impossible to cut, the sponge layers were dry, and the overall taste was overly sweet and unimpressive. An experience I wouldn’t repeat, and definitely not something I’d recommend — especially considering the unreasonable prices.

The beautifully designed and elegant interiors alone make this café well worth a visit. Drawn by its charming atmosphere, we decided to stop by for coffee and dessert. Both were beautifully presented and exceptionally tasty. The coffee was excellent, and it’s worth noting that the café offers various milk alternatives for those who are lactose intolerant, as well as gluten-free options on the menu. The only drawback is the rather high prices, further increased by a 12% service charge — although this is quite standard in Budapest. Nevertheless, for the combination of delightful flavors and refined ambiance, this place is highly recommended.

We had a blueberry and coconut dessert — a flavor unlike anything we’re used to. Macaron also very good. The atmosphere is beyond everything; it’s a moment that truly must be experienced here.

Wonderful historic place that serves the best traditional cakes you can find in the city. We got a seating without reservation and felt welcomed. The staff is kind and helpfull with explaning every cake on the menu. It is hard to say which one is the best, we ordered half of the menu. But the one that stands out is the Pistacchio one. Definitely worth the experience! 🍰♥️

The world famous Gerbeaud cafe lacks world class service unfortunately. They seat gests at the door having enough free tables further inside. You sit in the draught in winter due to the flood of incoming guests and constatly open door. At least they could install an isolation curtain in the entrance. When you get in, there is no garderobe and no hangers for coats so the whole cafe looks like a messy garderobe and if you are in four you have to sit on your own coats. Then you go to toilette where the hygiene is not up to standards of the prices of the cafehouse. When you order breakfast in two, they bring it separately with 8mins difference, so one has finished before the other one started. The thin ham and eggs does not come on pre heated plate, by the time you get to second egg its cold and by third even colder. After the breakfast it takes another 8mins to waiters to notice that you would like to order a dessert. For the service an automatic 15% service charge is included in the bill and the waiter patiently waits for a tip on top. Its a nice cafe at prime location, but the management should pay more attention to customer experience.

We love the atmosphere here in Central. Wonderful performance of piano & cello. Good service from an old gentleman with glasses ( sorry I didn’t remember his name). Outstanding food service. As someone who doesn’t like sweet food, the « Éclaire with Chestnut » surprised me. Ah, don’t forget all the food/drink with “Central” in its name. Strongly recommend them! This café is on my list of places I will return to.

Great place to visit when in Budapest. For us the best cafe and restaurant in town. Great food and perfect service. The cafe is a traditional Hungarian place highly beautifully decorated. The cafe is in the middle of tourist trap restaurants but central cafe is really highly recommend. Great food and service for very good price. No hidden service charges as other tourist traps

Atmosphere was beautiful and peaceful! Mark was a great server and was patient while I looked at the menu. Lots of delicious looking options! I got the eggs Benedict - a little more hollandaise would be good and it was room temperature. Overall the food was still delicious as well as the white hot chocolate!

I’ve visited this restaurant several times, and it’s definitely one of my top favorite places to go every time I’m in Budapest. The restaurant is located inside a historic building and is beautifully decorated; you can truly feel its authentic and unique historic vibe. It’s very enjoyable to sit inside and soak in the atmosphere! Sometimes they even have live piano music, which adds an extra charm to the experience. The restaurant is always perfectly clean, and all the furniture is in great condition. There’s also a small outdoor area with a few tables – lovely to sit at when the Budapest weather is nice. Every time I’ve visited, it’s been quite busy (whether for lunch or dinner). In summer, it can be hard to get a table outside, but I always managed to get one inside right away (either for myself or with a friend). The staff here are always nice and quick. Everyone who served me spoke good English, making communication easy. The restaurant’s menu also includes English translations and even pictures of some dishes, which makes choosing easier. The menu is quite diverse – it includes traditional Hungarian dishes as well as international options, from Shakshuka for breakfast to big American burger. I personally tried only Hungarian dishes here – Chicken Paprikash, Goulash Soup, and Classic Esterhazi Cake – and I loved every single one! The food always arrived quickly and was freshly prepared. Every main dish even smelled amazing. They definitely know how to cook Goulash Soup – it’s full of flavor, and the beef is always perfectly cooked with almost no fat. The Chicken Paprikash was also delicious! I especially loved the rich sauce covering the meat; the dumplings were soft and perfectly made; and the dish also comes with a tasty cucumber salad on the side. I absolutely recommend ordering the Goulash Soup or Chicken Paprikash here, especially if you’re looking for authentic Hungarian food. The portions are big, so you don’t need to order an appetizer; one main meal will fill you up. And to finish, their Esterhazi Cake is a must-try! It’s fantastic – super delicious and beautifully made. A couple of times I even came here just for that cake and a cup of tea; trust me, it’s worth it! Prices at this place are slightly on the higher side but still reasonable for the good quality and lovely overall experience you get at the restaurant. For example, one main dish, a dessert, and a soft drink (I usually order a hot black tea) cost around €20-25, which is not bad at all. The restaurant accepts all major credit cards and Apple Pay. I highly recommend visiting this place at least once – just for the experience of spending a lovely time in a classy, authentic Hungarian restaurant while enjoying delicious food. By the way, the restaurant is centrally located, making it easy to find and reach from anywhere in Budapest’s city center.

Food was amazing, I tried a Hungarian dish which was 10/10. Luxury place for a fair price. Live violinist and pianist. Staff were accommodating and friendly, Monica looked after us. Would definitely recommend

One of the most beautiful cafes i’ve been to. The service is great and the staff, especially Mark and Jonos, are very accomodating and helpful. The food is exquisite, the beef stew was exceptional. The overall ambience of the restaurant is very romantic, cozy and warm. 💯

What a lovely afternoon we’ve had here. Gorgeous food, atmosphere and the live music was a lot of fun. Thank you to Mark our server today, super friendly and always checking in to make sure we were happy and had everything we need

Great cakes. Good espresso. Quiet place to sit down. What else would you need to kick off your afternoon? The down side is the FOMO for the cakes you haven't tried...

We went to this lovely cafe for breakfast today and had a truly wonderful time. This lovely lady provided us with excellent service. I've never seen better service. I highly recommend it. We also had dessert and coffee, and everything from the food to the drinks was excellent.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true Budapest gem! Auguszt is not just a café – it’s a piece of Hungarian history served on a plate. Every bite feels like a journey through generations of craftsmanship and tradition. We tried the Dobos torte, the Krémes, and a savory quiche – all absolutely outstanding. The Dobos was rich yet perfectly balanced, the Krémes was light and heavenly, and even the salad next to the quiche was fresh and flavorful. The coffee was excellent too. The atmosphere is elegant but warm, with a real sense of family heritage. You can feel the pride and love that go into every pastry. Unlike the touristy cafés around the city, this one feels authentic, calm, and genuinely Hungarian. If you want to experience the soul of Budapest’s pastry culture – this is the place. Highly recommended!

An exceptionally pleasant and cozy patisserie. The interior is impressive, as can be seen in the videos. The lady who served us was very kind and friendly, and the Dobos and Eszterházy cakes we tried were delicious and light. It is definitely worth a visit.

The cream cake, coffee and hot chocolate were top notch. The staff was lovely, quick and efficient. Seating arrangements and the atmosphere in the cafe were some of the best we've seen in the city. Hightly recommend having coffee or dessert here.

What a place to visit! This cozy place has the right atmosphere to enjoy a cup of coffee and some fantastic pastries. I tried the vanilla wallnut cone and the Auguszt kremes which both were PERFECT! highly recommended and will definitely visit again once.

we have tried the dobos cake here: it was delicious!!!! you cannot leave budapest without eating their tipical cakes belonging to the hungarian traditional cousin, and I strongly suggest this place to taste them!

If you want to see the venue and want amazing pictures go for it. Try and come early or late to avoid the queues. It is very beautiful inside. However if you not fussed about the fuss then avoid. I think its good to see and experience once. Service was ok. We went with time and just chilled. Was overall a good experience. The live violinist was really nice. The history of the place is amazing. There were some vegan options. The hot chocolate was very filling and rich.

I went to New York Cafe in Budapest to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and it was honestly a terrible experience. I spoke with the waiter beforehand to bring a dessert with a candle after we finished our meal. After eating, we waited a very long time, watching other tables get cakes with candles while nothing came to ours. I went to another waiter to remind him about the dessert — he said okay, but again, nothing happened. Eventually, we asked for the bill, and guess what? The dessert was added to it even though it never arrived. I told them I wouldn’t pay for something that was never brought, and only then did a lady finally come with the dessert — with the candle already blown out — and asked my boyfriend if it was his birthday. Seriously, who does that? It completely ruined the moment. We waited forever, the food was not worth the hype, and the service was unbelievably poor. I understand it’s a busy place, but that just shows what happens when there’s no competent management. Definitely not worth even one star.

Not worth the money if you’re going for food or coffee at New York Café. Overpriced, with the decoration being the only thing that stands out but toilets decoration is pretty poor. We visited New York Café Budapest expecting a proper gourmet experience, and while the place itself is absolutely stunning, the food really missed the mark. To be fair, the decor is gorgeous—the chandeliers and lighting give the whole place a really special vibe, and the live piano music creates a warm, cosy atmosphere. Visually, it’s pretty incredible. But the food was a real letdown. The coffee had barely any flavour, and my partner’s coffee even came out cold, so we had to send it back. He ordered the Hungarian eggs, which were alright, but my eggs Benedict were honestly a shocker. The muffin was so dry and tough it was nearly impossible to cut—nothing like the soft, fluffy base you’d expect from a proper eggs Benny. Overall, the venue is beautiful and the ambiance is spot-on, but the food just didn’t deliver. For such a famous spot, the whole dining experience was pretty disappointing and definitely didn’t live up to the hype.

My mom & I visited the café on two different days, and both experiences were absolutely wonderful. The stunning interior and elegant atmosphere make it a must-visit in Budapest it truly feels like dining inside a palace! On our first day, Gergely, who attended to us was very professional and composed. I believe he’s one of the managers, and his presence and attention to detail made a great impression On our second day, we were warmly attended by Stefi, who was always smiling, attentive, and genuinely kind. Her positive energy made our visit extra special. The food, coffee, and desserts were excellent, but it’s really the staff. If you're lucky enough to be served by Stefi you're in for a treat! 🌟

The place is quite touristy, and even on a late weekday evening there was still a short queue. Despite its large size with at least two floors, it was packed, and the tables felt very close together. The interior is undeniably beautiful, though it could use better maintenance and cleanliness. As expected, the menu items are on the pricey side. I’m not complaining since we’re tourists ourselves, but it’s probably not the best choice if you’re after a relaxed atmosphere.

Stunning Setting with Room for Service Improvement New York Café is one of the most beautiful cafés in the world, with a breathtaking interior that feels like stepping into a palace. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Budapest, and it’s absolutely worth visiting for the atmosphere alone. The food is good, though not exceptional, and the service could be better. The staff seem quite used to the constant flow of tourists, so the experience can feel a bit rushed or impersonal at times. Still, it’s a must-see spot for its incredible architecture and history. If you go, take your time to enjoy the surroundings, it’s an unforgettable place to have coffee or dessert, even if the service isn’t as polished as the setting.

Initially we were allocated in this annex room down the bottom. It was very disappointing as you can’t even hear the music. My review would have been 1 star. Luckily I decided to speak to the manager and we were kindly moved to the upper room where the experience met the expectation and I had the most amazing blueberry cheesecake coup hearing the music and seeing the musicians. The experience downstairs was terrible. Forgotten with the underdogs. It’s impossible to have a great experience there as you will be saddened by the prices in a regular room. In my opinion that room should not be used unless they put a musician playing down there. Even the food felt average whilst we sat there. Life was different on the upper floor and I strongly reccomend you to complain about your seat in case you are taken to the dark room far from the magic. We had an amazing experience and it was worth every cent once sat on the upper level. I would definetely return.

Nice place to sit and relax while enjoying the best chimney cake in Budapest. Each empty chimney cake cost 2.2K Forint. They're good enough to eat as it is, no need the filling of ice cream or other stuff. The cafe has comfy seats and also clean toilet which my kid happily used for big biz.

Best chimney cake in Budapest!! Great prices. Hot fresh and crispy chimney cakes. Quick service. Plenty of clean seating. Free toilets. Have come back here many times and quality is consistent.

Very nice place where to sit and taste a delicious chimney in Budapest! We tryed the pistacchio chimney and it was so delicious! We really liked seeing the preparation of chimneys happening in front of us and here the product are 100% fresh. The chimney was big compared to others and the price was very good. We really like it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re in Budapest and want to try a truly authentic kürtőskalács, Molnár’s Kürtőskalács is unbeatable. This was by far the best one I’ve had in the city, the dough is soft, warm, and perfectly caramelized on the outside. What really sets it apart, though, is the ice cream. Unlike the artificial, low-quality ice cream you often find at other spots, this one is creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The combination with the kürtőskalács is heavenly and makes it a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Definitely a highlight of my Budapest trip!

Went there twice to get my chimney cake fix. Each time the chimney cakes were hot and fresh and rolled with the topping we want. It’s best cooled down but it was nice to have a freshly baked one.

While strolling around the city, we noticed lots of people holding these big, delicious looking ice cream cones and decided to give it a try. It was our first time eating it, and we didn’t really know what to expect, but it was amazing! The vanilla ice cream was creamy and milky, really smooth and tasty. But the real star was the chimney cake cone itself. Soft, slightly sweet, and warm, eating it on its own is already a treat, and with the ice cream, it’s next level delicious. If you’re in Belgium, don’t miss trying this, it’s fun to eat and absolutely worth it!

The pistachio chimney cake was 10/10. It was hot and warm when they served it. The almond chimney cake was tasty but the pistachio chimney cake with pistachio cream was the best for me. 10/10 warm and resently out of the oven.

Szamos is a classic when in Budapest. I had a sandwich and a lovely slice of Esterhazy cake in the outdoor seating area. The staff were friendly and attentive. It’s not in the immediate hubbub, so it’s a nice break from the chaos of the city, but it’s still very conveniently located.

The place is very nice, but the music choice doesn't fit the atmosphere, and the light fixtures need to be fixed (color and light intensity is not uniform). These two issues, if fixed, would enhance the overall feeling of the cafe.

Just perfect! I love stylish and traditional places. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly service! Live traditional music and dances! The food was deli! Ps. Kids had 2 glasses of home lemonade and charged us 6x100ml

I ordered dobos and fruity cheese. The caramel shell on the dobos is so thick. The cheese layer of the cheesecake is really light, and the shape is not good. It is also wrapped in plastic paper when serving.

⭐ 4/5 – A Sweet Slice of Hungarian History We visited Szamos Gourmet Ház with one goal: to try the famous Dobos cake—and it was absolutely divine. This iconic layered pastry was invented by Hungarian chef József C. Dobos in the late 1800s. Not only is it a clever piece of culinary history, but it’s also incredibly delicious. The layers were rich, moist, and flavorful, and that caramel layer on top added the perfect crunch and sweetness. We also tried another traditional Hungarian treat—a two-piece biscuit filled with jam, with a little hole in the top cookie. It was simple, crunchy, and absolutely delicious. To drink, I had a raspberry lemonade, which was refreshing and nicely balanced—not too sweet, not too tart. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and although the prices were slightly higher, we felt the experience, quality, and location fully justified it. The café itself has a charming, historical atmosphere, and it’s a wonderful stop if you're exploring Budapest and want to taste Hungary’s classic desserts done right.

The dobos cake was really very good as was the coffee. Quality ingredients, the caramel top is difficult to cut or get into, but taking it off and eating it separately along works. The atmosphere is fantastic, old school, rich and tastefully done. They have a decent collection of chocolates to gift or take away. There was a 15 percent service charge. Would recommend

Szamos Gourmet House is always a delight. The cakes and pastries are not only beautiful but also incredibly tasty, and the coffee pairs perfectly with them. The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, making it a great place to relax in the city center

Excellent eggs with bacon, nice cappuccino, friendly service. I liked sitting outside but inside is pretty and without the traffic noise. We've had breakfast there several times. The tables outside are a little small, fine for one person, but tiny for two.

This patisserie is an absolute delight! Established in 1898, its rich history is beautifully reflected in the elegant and classic interior design — truly a place that transports you back in time while offering modern comfort. The coffee is outstanding — rich, aromatic, and served just right. But the real stars are their artisan pastries and baked goods. Each piece is crafted with clear attention to detail, flavor, and presentation. From delicate cakes to buttery croissants, everything is simply delicious and of the highest quality. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine patisserie in a charming, historic setting.

I felt like royalty in there. Such nice cakes, amazing amount of choices of drinks, not too much food but we are here for the CAKES. Amazing atmosphere, not too crowded but could get in the right time I can imagine. Nice staff, and the CAKES. So fresh and so good! And how they show you on the screen how some of them are made is just a little something I didn’t know I needed in a cafe. Amazing!

As the café’s name suggests, they still have portraits of artists hanging on the walls. The interior is beautiful and they offer a wide selection of cakes that aren’t listed on the menu. Instead, you have to browse the spinning cake shelves and pick what you want, which makes for a fun little experience. The coffee tastes decent, nothing extraordinary, but good. The waitresses are helpful but aren’t the friendliest, but I get it, working in a fancy place probably makes them a little unapproachable.

The place is nice even they could mantain the old style in a better way ( big screen in the main salon..) and the service a bit slow, it took 20 min before coming for the order. The cakes are good but not excelent.

We went there for breakfast, ordered english breakfast, very tasty food, quiet nice place, but the big problem are very small tables. If 2 persons order breakfast you will need to put half of the things, plates, glases on the chairs since tables are very small for eating. If you choose only drinks up to 4 persons could sit with comfort.

A very honest review: I visited this cafe a couple days ago with some of my friends from Italy. As hungarian I wanted to show them the beauty of Budapest. Based on the quite good rating of the cafe I had the impression this would be something to amaze them, something that can also reflect Hungarian tradition. After walking in and sitting down we got the menus, as I was explaining the different foods to my friends one waitress came up, I told her in hungarian in a very polite and kind way that we still need some time. After noticing that there are also cakes next to the entrance, I went there to see, which ones we could order. In the mean time another waitress went to our table, where my italian friends told them in English we still needs some time. This probably all within the first 5 minutes. While walking back to our table I hear one of the waitresses say in hungarian, this table we will not go to anymore, because they don’t know what they want. I was not sure, if she meant us, but then I later realised she was talking about our table, number 17. After that, she kept having a negative attitude towards us, like we were not welcome, also when I kindly told her we would like to order, she rudely said „mindjárt“, which means something like „in a second“. I stayed completely calm and was kind and respectful throughout our whole stay, trying not mirror the attitude from the waitress. Honestly after having this experience, I would not recommend going there, for me it ruined the whole experience. This one waitress was rude for no reason, while the whole cafe was maybe half full, if not even less, implying that they did not have much to do. I don’t recommend tourists going there, they don’t seem to have patience, there is plenty other and better cafes with better service. I will also not return after this encounter. As a hungarian myself I am quite upset that this is the kind of service offered by such a cafe in Budapest. The food and cakes were good, but I would not say it was something incredibly special.

Nice place, it wasn't too busy around 5 PM on a weekday. Not cheap, but not tourist trap expensive and the cakes we had were pretty good. The raspberry musical (málnás musical) is delicious!

🇺🇸A really tidy well decorated place near to Gozsdu where you have the opportunity to catch up with a friend or it’s perfect for a date. I visited between the holidays so they still had the Christmas decorations everywhere. When you enter you have to order first then choose a cozy spot. The couch is comfortable and the bathroom is clean. And the most important details…the cakes are delicious 🤤 and not just incredible creatively presented. Overall a great experience. So don’t missed while you’re visiting Budapest.

Coffee and macaroons are good enough. Cakes look cute but I didn't taste them. I had to wait a long to order. The people behind me in line just left. One barista, of course, is not enough. The interior is cool, especially in Helloween time 👻

The place is really cute and cozy, I'd love it even more in winter, it gives worm vibes. We went there to have brunch basically, and tasted a few of their patisserie selection. The macaroons were delicious, the rest of the sweets were nice. I was expecting a bit more, but they were a bit too sweet or not as flavorful as I thought. Nothing mind blowing. The Caramel dessert was too sweet, a bit too much for my tasting. The service was nice and kind. Overall desserts were okay but not the best, but still worth it I think. My favorites were the macaroons, very very tasty, and the dessert resembling a pie with the red thing on it and the pistacchio (it doesn't taste of pistacchio at all), it was the mist surprising and flavorful!

The place is really big, and the seats are comfortable with beautiful decorations. The workers are nice and helpful. Their desserts are delicious with beautiful designed. The coffee was also quite good with good amount and fair price. There has many different desserts I hope that I will be able to try all of them soon. A good dessert coffee place to visit when you are in Budapest.

My favorite cafe at Budapest Amazing food which is not expensive at all (each dessert cost about 4€, and 1€ for macaroon) The staff were also very friendly, especially Dora and Sara Perfect place for people who wants to feel at Paris every morning while they are eating a breakfast at Budapest

One of my favorite places in this area. Modern and stylish. Clean and kids friendly. Always smiling and welcoming staff!. On-site sweet-bakery with an interactive view to/on the "candy factory"....

We came because it had a high rating. There was a line at the door and the outdoor tables were full. We ordered one cinnamon roll, one chocolate roll, and two cappuccinos. We sat upstairs. The rolls didn’t taste that good. The place is cute, but what we had wasn’t worth the price. I think it’s an overrated spot.

A Wonderful discovery in a fairly quiet side street. All products are wonderful to look at and super tasty! The staff is very friendly and they explained all the different pastry and types of bread to me. The latte was made to perfection! Loved it! I ate there but bought a couple of things to bring back to the apartment.

Charming bakery right by the Ministry of Sports. Expect a line, but it moves quickly. Warm, hard-working staff keep things humming. Pastries are stellar. Don’t miss the croissants, baguettes, and the tangy sourdough bread. Worth the wait and a repeat visit. Coffee’s solid, too. Prices are fair.

Artizan Bakery is an absolute gem in Budapest. Everything we tried was so tasty, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Their pastries are light, flaky, and packed with flavor, and the sourdough bread is exceptional. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques, which makes a huge difference. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for breakfast or a quick coffee break. Staff were friendly and efficient, even though the place was busy. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the coffee pairs perfectly with their pastries. Tip: Go early for the best selection, items sell out fast. Try their almond croissant or pistachio pastries, they’re incredible. Expect a short wait during peak hours, but it’s worth it. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Artizan is a must-visit for anyone who loves great bread and pastries in Budapest.

Guys… They DO NOT have vegan stuff! Yesterday I bought some pastries, asking specifically for vegan to an employee. I arrived home and ate it and it was absolutely NOT vegan. But just to check before writing something, I went back again today and asked if they have vegan stuff. Today they said they don’t.!!! I wonder why I got mislead like that yesterday. I am lactose intolerant!!! If you are just looking for genuine buttery bakery, this is the place to go! For that they deserve 5 stars. I just wish they would have had honesty on the first day. Update: what has been marketed to ma as vegan was the salty pastry, with feta… Thanks a lot 👌 Pls educate your employees

They’re the true bread superstars. Everything from the bakery is a hit, and the coffee is excellent. But what really stands out are their weekday lunch specials — incredibly tasty, healthy, and hearty. *Chef’s kiss!* Just make sure to come early if you want a seat.

Artizan Bakery is a must-visit in Budapest! Their award-winning breads truly live up to the hype — fresh, flavorful, and delicious every time. I’ve been to Budapest twice, and both times I started my day with breakfast at Artizan Cafe. There was a long queue, but it moved quickly as customers were served fast, so the wait was definitely worth it. Just keep in mind to go early in the morning — after 9 AM, vegetarian options become limited. As a vegetarian, I’m especially impressed with the quality and variety of vegetarian choices. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service, making the whole experience even better. The ambience is cozy and inviting, and the prices are very reasonable for such high quality. If you’re in Budapest and love great bread and tasty vegetarian food, this place is a top pick. Highly, highly recommended! 🥖✨

I used to live close to this bakery and it was my favourite place. Unfortunately, now it is too far to visit that often. This week I came there twice because on the day I came first time they didn't have any kakaos csiga (my fav) so I took turos taska and I was a bit disappointed... the dough wasn't creating layers and wasnt crispy at all. It tasted like regular turos taska from lidl ;) i couldn't believe that the quality dropped that much. I came back again yesterday and I was positively suprised that the pastries were crispy and fresh as I remembered. Because of that situation I'm taking one star as that good bakery should try to keep same standard all the time. Regardless I recommend to visit this place! Most of pastries is 1000 huf per piece.

Great place to have a coffee and sth like a croissant and roll. The place is small and they don’t have many seats available so you might not fight a place to sit at busy times. The coffee tastes good, the walnut roll was good to enjoy. Good place. Recommended.

I went there two days in a row for croissants, they do not have . Their croissants are the best in the world. I really like it. But they ran out of the croissant very fast before 10.

A cozy little place run by two young people eager to offer good products and friendly service. It's the perfect place for breakfast some pastries and good coffee.

Best chocholate rolls in the city but probably in the world too. On top of that: good vibe, premium coffee and a very cool owner. Its a must if you visit Budapest.

2000 HUF for a not fresh small pistachio croissant, and 2000 HUF for 1 FLAT WHITE??? That’s a ripoff. Place wants to compete with best bakeries in town like Vaj and Artizan, but provides very poor quality with inflated prices . AVOID THIS PLACE.

If you are in Budapest, you MUST come here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recommended by our Airbnb host and we came here five days in a row. Small but incredible bakery. Both salty and sweet were amazing. Personally recommendation: Salty - red pesto is the best. Sweet - cinnamon bun is heaven. Go earlier in case sold out. I wanted to try daily soup but failed everyday………………. Definitely the highlight of our Budapest 😂

I recently tried the chimney cake from the cafe, and it was a delightful experience! Freshly made in just 10 minutes, each flavor was a treat. I sampled the pistachio, chocolate, and apricot, and all were incredibly delicious—rich and satisfying. The variety offered is impressive, making it hard to choose just one. The price is reasonable for such a quality dessert, but I did find the paper costing nearly 600 HUF a bit unfriendly. Overall, though, the chimney cake is definitely worth trying for anyone with a sweet tooth! Highly recommended!

Definitely a must try even if you are not a fan of Kürtőskalács, they have a remarkable amount of varieties so you can taste them the way you like the most, price is not cheap, however considering the product and the results it is worthy, specially if you consider you can easily pay the same amount for average or disappointing ones on the city center.

Gluten free chimney cakes!! This place offers GF chimney cakes on a Wednesday and a Friday. They are made fresh and you have a range of flavour choices. The staff were lovely and very helpful. My husband tasted mine to compare it to his 'normal' one and said it was just as good.

Delicious, freshly made chimney cake. One is enough for 2 people. We ordered the pistachio flavour which was delightful. They also serve Costa coffee which was an added bonus 😊

Budapest's one of chimneycake place. Overpriced, typical tourist place, no hygiene, no gloves, no toilets. One of Budapest thats not rcommend. One cake took about 40 minutes. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Vegan, glutenfree options. Delicious. Rather expensive. Very big, would love to habe a small , cheaper versions.

Must visit to this place if you are in hungary and want to eat the best traditional Hungarian dessert in a new wave refresh taste design! Kürtöskalács with vanilla cream (pudding) with raspberry scattered on the top and spiked with chocolate sauce! The best in the city in the country in the world! Amazing! Great combination it is a masterpiece! Simple and fantastic the best! Try it you won’t regret it! Highly recommended place! Must have on your list during your stay in Budapest Hungary! We arrive just a few minutes before they closed and the team was fantastic! Everybody were doing their duty but kind smile and very respectful with us! Wish to have more places like this everywhere! These people love their job and the customers!

Aug 2024: District 12 Budapest; they no longer frost the sides of the cake, just the top. :-( Puncs torta a bit dry. Apple squares were agglutinated with no apple slices or chunks within. There is a small outdoor courtyard to the right. Skip it.

Lots of good stuff....😊 Hungarian bakeries too, ice cream, cakes....you can sit inside but it is a little bit small but they have an outside sitting area. I am always going there if I want a good and yummy dessert.

Delicious cakes and nice selection. The prices are decent as well. They have ice cream in summer and you can have coffee there as well. They unfortunately do not speak English but I usually manage to buy what I want. And they recently started accepting card payment. I am a regular customer 😊

The best things about this place is the retro atmosphere, including the cakes, the interior, etc, almost like it was taken from a memory. The cakes are no award winners but overall delicious, and the prices reflect this. We love to visit there for some desserts on any simple workday, it just makes the whole day sweeter.

Nice staff ! Yummy cake ! Love this cake shop for sure :)

Nice homemade Rigó Jancsi cake. Cooking place for coffee time.

Very tasty cakes and "pogacsa". Nice and fast service. One of the staffs speaks Spanish as well. Cash payment only. One star minus only for the design. Once you look at the sweeties I can promise it will be very difficult to make decision what and how much to buy.

We had a vegetarian sandwich and this sweet croissant, they were both very tasty and refreshing. For us as tourists I came across a bit of chaos in ordering and what everything is on the menu. On the other hand, the barista kindly helped us.

I tried the Norma plate for breakfast and was unfortunately quite disappointed. The bread and pickled veggies were the only delicious parts. The garlic and burned butter were extremely bland and definitely took away from the overall experience. The coffee is solid and the pastries are good, but I’m sure you can find a better breakfast/brunch experience elsewhere in the city.

Just happened to stumble upon this bakery, which smelled heavenly. I decided on a kardamom pastry. It was good and flavorful but looking back kardamom is a very acquired taste, so I wish I had gotten something else. But it was good. 950 ft

A Nordic styled cafe with not a big selection of pastries. The ones I tried were, not a wow, but quite good. Staffs were friendly and helpful. I loved the seating outside.

I am on the quest for the perfect croissant.. Talán inkább ne északi stílusú pékség... Translate this bakery is emulating or attempting to emulate an "eastern style of baking"... To me there was no layering of the dough, laminated, maybe they went to far easterly. Croissants started in Hungary...maintain the integrity of the chefs when Község stood their ground.

One of those modern/new coffee places/houses in Budapest. Architecture and interior decoration is really pleasant. It’s spacious with a very pleasant set up. Tables inside with A/C when it’s hot and few tables outside. Good choice of breads, pastries and sandwiches. Many types of coffees and the ones I took were very tasty. The staff is very pleasant , patient and helpful, especially when one is limited in Hungarian.

Cute little cafe with a selection of baked goodies. I had the pistachio crossiant which was not overly sweet, with a generous amount of pistachio cream. However, the prices are a bit on the expensive side.

The cinnamon was 800ft, not bad, but maybe we got it late, so the bread was cold.

Located inside the metro station. Offers wide variety of chimney cakes. Hazelnut, vanilla, coconut, among others.

very delicious cake both chocolate and vanilla and cost only 800ft

The shop is underground at station Astoria and easy to find. The price is very good and the warm chimney cakes are delicious. Plus, it smells like heaven when taken out of the oven. Cinnamon and walnuts ones are my favorite and it’s a must try when in Budapest.

Thank you that you make the Station Astoria with your Kurtoskalacs smell like heaven! I always likes to go up with the escalator from the subway. Big thanks from my nose!👃🏻

The best chimney cake in the whole of Budapest! This a great spot if you don't want to get ripped off and try chimney cake at like a local. In Jan 2023 we got a cake for only 700 ft and they have a lot of flavors to choose from. Very friendly staff except for when you try to take a picture, which I really didn't get.

This is a very frustrating situation, and the way they handled it is clearly problematic. If a place sells chimney cakes, it’s a basic expectation that they serve them properly made and warm. What’s even more outrageous is that when it turned out they didn’t even have a way to bake them, they didn’t offer any solution but simply stated that there would be no refund. From a consumer perspective, this is unfair, and at the very least, some form of compensation should have been offered—whether a replacement with another product or at least an apology.

It is a pleasant location to explore and capture memorable photographs. The scenery offers ample opportunities for creative compositions and stunning visuals. Although the surroundings are beautiful, the dining experience could be improved. Hopefully, future visits will bring enhancements to the culinary offerings. Overall, it remains a lovely place to visit.

It is the largest indoor market in Budapest, located at one end of the famous Váci utca. It is located in a building whose facade is built in a neo-Gothic style, very pleasing to the eye and in harmony with the architecture of the neighboring buildings. Inside, on the ground floor you will find many shops with local cold cuts, dairy, wines and other products. In the basement is the fish market. You can reach the upper level by several stairs but also by an escalator, located in close proximity of the main entrance. Access to the shops on the first floor is along corridors that look like balconies. Here are numerous gift/souvenir shops but also the Fakánal Etterem restaurant, which, if you want to taste the flavors of traditional Hungarian food, you must definitely make a stop. We did and we did not regret it. At lunchtime, when we arrived, we had to be a little patient to get to the desired menu, but it was worth it. I treated myself with a goulash soup and a portion of stuffed cabbage rolls. Everything was very tasty. I consider this place to be recommended to visit.

It’s a nice market full of both dry goods and groceries. A lot of fresh meat products and vegetables could be found here and with good quality. On the second floor, there’s a selection of souvenirs, as well as some food stalls selling local food.

The Central Market Hall in Budapest is a wonderful place to explore if you want to experience local Hungarian culture in one spot. The market is housed inside a beautiful, well-organised historic building that feels lively but not chaotic. Everything is neatly arranged, and it’s easy to navigate through the different sections. You can find plenty of authentic Hungarian products here — from fresh local vegetables and spices to handmade crafts and souvenirs. There are also food stalls offering traditional dishes, so you can enjoy a snack or meal right inside the market while soaking in the atmosphere. The vendors are friendly and take pride in their products, making the experience feel genuine rather than touristy. There’s a good mix of local shoppers and visitors, which adds to its charm. The market also has clean, paid toilet facilities, which is convenient if you plan to spend more time browsing. Whether you’re looking for paprika, embroidered linens, or just a good place to people-watch, the Central Market Hall offers it all. It’s an enjoyable and colourful stop that captures the real spirit of Budapest in a single building.

Lots of fresh food of all varieties, including meat, vegetables and baked goods. Paprika of every flavor and size. Goodies to eat and souvenirs for the trip home. It can be very crowded so have some patience. Many of the vendors are closed on Sunday, especially the fresh food vendors.

We went around 2-3pm, when a lot of stalls had already closed. Ground floor has vegetables, meats, sausages and spices. Upper floor is filled with Souvenir-Style shopping, and a few options for food. Choice was ok, avoid if you'd prefer a more local experience.

One of my favourite spots in town! If you visit Budapest you shouldn't miss this one! It has many sweet and savory traditional products to try! On the upper level they also have a big variety of souvenirs and restaurants.

Lovely place to have a beautiful dinner. Perfectly situated for a walk to zoo, park area or hero’s square. The traditional but upscale cuisine was very delicious. I’ve decided the Hungarian’s are the best soup makers. It was a nice meal with some service hiccups. The waiter did not have the best grasp of the English language and that was fine, but our glasses of libations were left empty for a while before refilling and our empty serving plates were slow to be taken. A couple of waiters noticing were quick to remedy the young waiter and waitress errors. Live music was divine. Definitely a good choice.

Oh my - I’m always cautious of places like these on the basis that they are simply trading on their name after all this time but I couldn’t not have been more wrong! The food was superb but what absolutely made our evening was how expertly Béla guided us through the wine menu and recommended us a bespoke Hungarian wine flight that both matched our preferred wines and our courses. This guy needs to move towards becoming a sommelier as his knowledge was superb. Thanks for a wonderful last evening in Budapest!

I visited Gundel with my mother during our trip to Budapest, as I wanted to treat her to a special dinner. The restaurant’s strong reviews, elegant atmosphere, and reputation for great food made it an easy choice and it certainly lived up to expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. We were warmly welcomed and guided to our table, and throughout the evening the staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful with recommendations whenever we were unsure. The restaurant itself is beautiful and classy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. I started with an Espresso Martini served in a cappuccino-style cup—a creative and delightful touch. For dinner, we chose the meal + starter/soup option. The staff kindly went above and beyond by serving us two bowls of soup rather than asking us to share one, which was a small but very thoughtful gesture. The goulash soup, in particular, was outstanding - tender meat and incredible flavor. Every dish we tried was excellent, and we truly enjoyed the whole dining experience. The only element I personally wasn’t fond of was the live band walking around the tables asking for money after playing. While some guests may enjoy it, I felt it was a bit out of place in such a refined setting. That said, our evening at Gundel was absolutely wonderful. Both the food and the service were exceptional, and I would happily return. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Budapest!

An outstanding lunch between visiting the museum. Old world elegance, the ambiance is part of the experience. Music was excellent. We ordered their multi-course meal, which was a lot of food. The food was delicious, everything well presented. Very popular, so reserve ahead.

Gundel Restaurant — Budapest’s Timeless Symphony of Hospitality and Culinary Art Stepping into Gundel is like entering a living museum of Hungarian gastronomy — one that has not merely survived more than a century, but refined the very meaning of fine dining over the course of 120 remarkable years. Once frequented by luminaries such as Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the world’s political elite, Gundel continues to honor its legacy while offering a deeply personal, unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we were greeted, the service set the tone — gracious, intuitive, and elegantly choreographed. The staff didn’t just serve; they hosted us, with the kind of genuine warmth that’s become increasingly rare even among Michelin-starred establishments. They asked where we were from, shared insights into the history of the dishes, and seemed truly invested in making our evening exceptional. And indeed, it was. We celebrated our honeymoon, and to our astonishment, the pianist began playing the Mendelssohn Wedding March — a gesture so intimate and perfectly timed that it turned the dinner into pure magic. The food? Simply world-class. Each plate was a masterpiece of balance and tradition — succulent meats, flawlessly cooked and plated with contemporary precision, and cocktails that rival those of the finest European bars. Every bite echoed heritage and mastery, from the velvety sauces to the impeccable texture of the Hungarian specialties reinvented for the modern palate. Gundel isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a love letter to Budapest’s soul, where history, hospitality, and haute cuisine unite. Dining here feels like stepping into a story you’ll want to relive again and again.

Gundel is a classic. You feel it the moment you walk in – the chandeliers, the music, the sense of history. Few places carry that kind of presence. The food was wonderful. The foie gras was deep and balanced, the dessert refined and rich. Everything about the kitchen feels confident and precise. The head waitress was excellent – calm, professional and genuinely attentive. But the choreography of the service wasn’t quite in sync. The rhythm slipped here and there, and in a place like Gundel that flow is part of the experience. Still, it’s an extraordinary restaurant. When it all aligns, you’re reminded why this house has become part of Budapest’s story.

We were really happy to include Gundel as "The cherry on the cake" for our trip to Budapest and celebrating a birthday. It was an unforgettable dinner. Classy and elegant restaurant, delicious and well presented food, pleasant music, excellent service (Hi Nelly :) ) We were very impressed and we have recommended the restaurant to our friends. I hope we will come again.

Awesome street carts festival vibes. Food is good, atmosphere even better. Unfortunately it is very overpriced and definitely a tourist trap. If you cant find anything else open at night, it is very well worth a visit as you'll find multiple types of food in one spot.

Great to come here as a tourist for lunch. There was lots of food options for us and plenty of seating. The atmosphere was good and the food venue is well decorated. The service system works well, as they give you a buzzer that will alarm when the food is ready to collect. I would come back here!

The avocado bowl was extremely tasty, slightly spicy, and the meat was crispy. The wings were also delicious, but the sauce wasn't really that great. The cocktails we drank were also good. The atmosphere was cool and fun. Overall, it was something different and I definitely recommend it. We will definitely be back!

I loved it here. I really recommend coming here. The food is really good. The people working here are very friendly and the place overall looks and feels great. I went to the first burger place on the right and ordered some sides. They were really good (I recommend their garlic sauce, it is really good). It is not very big but even for a drink or a small bite this place great

This is a fun place to go and just try things. I found it strange that the goulash i bought did not have a lid. I had intended to take it back to hotel. Oh well. I think almost anyone could find something to eat here. I would not do supper since there are so many other restaurant options in Budapest.

The Karavan has a lot of options to choose from. A bit pricey but the food is good. Friendly service but during lunch time there's less seats open.

Loved the concept and the atmosphere is nice. Good variety of food but tons of fried/oily stuff. Staff is friendly in most locations.

Absolutely delicious cakes and sweets. They make excellent traditional Hungarian and non-Hungarian cakes, beautifully presented. It's very reasonably priced for the quality. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is magnificent, very majestic. It's a gem in Budapest.

Located on the outskirts of Budapest inner city, this "conditorei" is quaint and quiet coffee/tea salon where you can grab some delicious pastries. Service staff is welcoming and reactive. Coffees were good -the Dobos was a bit dry though. My take: this place is a nice option for a rest if you are sightseeing outside Budapest inner city!

Such a beautiful and lovely café in Budapest. Strongly recommend to visit it. Good decorated rooms, tasty desserts and coffee. We enjoyed it.

Really nice old confectioner's. We had really delicious breakfast here. Fresh juice was fantastic as well as omelet and filled toasts. Cakes looked amazing but we didn't try it because we were totally full after breakfast.

A hidden gem of a coffeehouse with an interesting history and tasty desserts. It is really cheap compared with the touristic cafe New York, but the quality of drinks and cakes is really high, in my opinion. Every time we came there, there were some locals in the cafe. And that is the proof enough for me. Highly recommended!

Patisserie ripped of from the paste. Everything looks very old, but well maintained. Dobosz and Esterhazy cake were just like they should be. It's note close to other touristic attractions in Budapest, but if you are nearby, don't miss some it. Most of the visitora looked like a locals. Young girl was reading some notes (preparing for the exam?), a guy was finishing some work on his computer (lots of spreadsheets)...completely opposite to historical look of the pastry shop.

A very good place to start your day with breakfast.The omelette with cheese and bacon is a must and also the lemonade with the strawberry flavor(I know it's strange to drink fresh lemonade with fresh strawberry inside but the combination was surprisingly good!)The service was very good and the prices were normal.The croissant was a bit small but tasty and fresh.

Daubner is a letdown despite the hype. The waiting line is incredibly long and chaotic, with no clear system, and the staff isn’t particularly friendly. You even have to pay extra just to sit and eat your cake there, which feels unwelcoming. Also disappointing that they don’t offer milk-free options. Expected much more from such a famous place.

We recently visited Daubner Cukrászda, and I have to say, the cakes were the best I have ever tried also We tried some ice cream, and every single item was absolutely delicious. The quality and flavor were exceptional, making it well worth the trip. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We ordered birds milk cake, chocolate and coconut cake and both were amazing. With high reviews and ratings here, they sure do live up to their excellent reputation. Their cakes taste delicious, and you can tell that they used fresh ingredients. It was an overall pleasant experience trying their cakes as it’s our first time in Budapest!

This is our favorite bakery in Budapest for delicious pastries, desserts and even their gelato is incredible. Must try if you’re in town!

What can I say, it's an incredible bakery with amazing and unique cakes to Hungary. The variety they had was overwhelming, you could've spent several days, and you would still not be done trying all the cakes. Everything went very fast when you were ordering, they also had a lot of different flavours of ice creams. We got Pogácsa and a few different slices of cake and the cakes were very light and super tasty and the Pogcása were the star of the show. It is a bit outside, but it was a smooth ride to get there. Make sure to go here to get some pastries and cakes while in Budapest.

Amazing bakery. When I spent a week in a hotel 1km away I went here three times. It was that good. Lots of people every time but service was quick and not much waiting. Service also in English.

Treated myself with Raspberry Omlett and Raspberry Bird's Milk Cake. Usually not so impressed with local sweets in Hungary, but this century-old confectionary might just be an exception. Can't say I totally loved the two desserts, but this is the taste I can enjoy and appreciate. Also not very sweet.

Ordered a cake for birthday from here and it was beautiful and delicious too. The mousse cream was delicious, the only thing is that for a mousse cake I would expect slightly more cream inside. You can sit outside, which is great, and the inside is very nicely decorated too, will definitely visit for coffee and dessert too!

It's a small patisserie, but it's famous for its delicious cakes. Self-service: pick your favorite item and pay for it. Sit wherever you like and enjoy the delicious cakes.

While I loved their cakes, especially the Somlói galuska and mákos-meggyes pite (I LOVE everything poppy seed that’s very hard to get in NY) I can’t get past the poor customer service. Reviews mention ill treatment of foreigners, rest assured, they treat their Hungarian speaking customers just as poorly. I ordered three slices of cake and some pogácsa, the lady serving us spectacularly rolled her eyes after plating each item. Quality is great, sweets are absolutely worth the calories but you just sort of lose your appetite when treated with such apathy.

Desserts were absolutely outstanding and tasty, and so was the coffee. However the service was very slow and we waited for over 25 minutes for our order which was not convenient. The interior or the restaurant is very beautiful though but also very loud.

I’ll start saying that the coffe and the cakes are pretty good and tasty. 1 star for the behavior of the staff when I called to order a cake to surprise my girlfriend with her favorite cake. I called Wednesday morning to prepaire a cake until Friday afternoon and the answer was negative that I should make the order one week earlier. I was so sad about it,Nevermind I asked Hungarian friend to call and she could make the order of the cake for the same day I previously asked.So my question is that you are accepting orders only from Hungarians ? This is so unprofessional behavior.

We visited Nándori Cukrászda on a Saturday and ordered the krémes sós karamellás and somlói, both of which were absolutely delicious. However, there was quite a long queue, which is understandable for a popular spot on the weekend. Although tables become available relatively quickly, we noticed that no one had time to clean them in between customers. This was a significant downside, as we had to enjoy our desserts surrounded by dirty plates from previous guests. The place itself is beautiful, and the cakes are of high quality, but unfortunately, it lacks atmosphere. While the desserts are worth a visit, a bit more attention to cleanliness and ambiance would enhance the overall experience.

Everything is perfect! The atmosphere is great, warm; staff are friendly. There was a queue but it went fast. The prices are okay coffee is cheaper compared to other places in the neighborhood. There is nothing to say for desserts, delicious! I’ll definitely try each of them.

Arán Bakery offers a wide variety of pastries, breads, cafe and sandwiches with fast service and a stylish, modern vibe. It can get very busy, especially in the mornings. While the selection is impressive, the sandwich with chicken I had came with very hard bread—tough to chew and not the most enjoyable. Great for a quick stop, but some items may be more style than comfort. Decent prices in good location, overall recommend it!

A lovely corner bakery with all kinds of baked goods and bread and you could get. The coffee are also super delicious. Seatings are limited but if you want to grab and go, definitely a perfect spot for that. We got the iced dirty chai, flat white, a cruffin, a cinnamon bun, and orange juice. Everything was great. We ended up revisiting a couple days later.

We went to Arán for breakfast and tried their famous cinnamon roll, another pastry, and a latte — all of which were really good. There’s a small seating area, and although there was a queue, it moved quite fast. A lovely spot for a quick and tasty breakfast!

Very tasty hot choc and pain au choc. I would return to try other parts of the bakery (although I'm restricted with nut allergy). Limited seating indoors so we took ours out to enjoy (there are seating spots round the side).

This is absolutely the best bakery in Budapest! The pastry is of such good quality. You must try the cruffin.

Amazing bakery,great prices and good quality! The savory pastries are delicious and the Guinness cake was a must. The Hungarian dessert was also incredible.

Another day, another tough decision on where to go for breakfast…and I’m so glad I chose this small bakery! Definitely worth the 30 minute walk, and I’d come back again. The ham and cheese croissant was gorgeous. The pastry was crispy and flaky, I loved the sesame and fennel seeds on top which added to savouriness. Also the apple and cardamom pastry, which was delicious and not too sweet. The price was really cheap too!

Amazing and super fresh pastries, don't miss the bacon mustard twist and the walnut roll!

I got cinnamon roll, ajvar roll and bacon mustard twist all were great, but the CINNAMON ROLL IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. I dont think I ever ate any pastry so good, even in Copenhagen which is famous for pastries it was not as good as this one. Crispy, fluffy, sweet but not too much. Wow... 1000000/10, I hope to come to Budapest again just to have one or twenty more

The pasteries are delicious and the sweets smell amazing. It's affordable. The staff doesn't speak English but we had no problems ordering.

Delicious breads and coffee, love them all…recommend.

Cute little bakery with friendly staff. The croissant was good, but the cappuccino wasn’t quite there. It’s not barista-brewed, so it turned out weak and barely tasted like coffee. I’d still recommend stopping by for a pastry, just maybe get your cappuccino elsewhere.

Very nice coffee and pastries. Absolutely friendly staff! Would definitely come back !

We visited shortly after they opened on a Thursday. The staff were friendly and helpful, willing to explain their food items in English. The food itself is wonderful and priced well

Very good strudel, we were happy about it!

It's THE place if you want to try rétes/ strudel. It's a small authentic place that serves strudel and coffee. They have a variety of filling, I tried the cottage cheese and it was yummy!

Delicious strudels! Perfect place for breakfast. The service lady was lovely and friendly The poppy seed one was our favourite.

Very delicious strudel, affordable price and a very comfortable place!! I really love this place.

Small shop with fresh hand-made pastries. Staff very kind. Recommended.

I can say only good things. Staff is kind and helpful. The drinks and food are excellent. Quite and comfortable environment!

If you like home made quality pastries filled with real fruit, or poppy seed or cottage cheese (and you should), GO HERE!

Rigó Jancsi torta was good. Affordable prices (1000 ft for a slice). Nice Capuccino.

The customer service was poor they looked disinterested, and seemed to not care for customers reactions and their experience. The cakes were about average, they looked okay and thankfully they weren’t too sweet for my palette however upon further inspection there was a long piece of hair wedged deeply in the cake. We notified the staff however they looked unbothered and replied that since we already had some of the cake they could not replace it. This brings up concerns about the hygiene of the shop as we had already eaten other cakes.

The place is very clean, close to many sightseeing. There is an outdoor terrace where you could enjoy a very delicious coffee with the wide variety of dessert that they offer.

Lovely little local bakery. Kind, welcoming and helpful staff. Tasty baked goods and super cheap. We will definitely come back here when we visit Budapest again. Thoroughly recommend the strudel

Some of the pastries and cakes are nice, some are average. Customer service is below average, they let people pass the queue and did not even try to serve people in order. I try to avoid the place unless needed for last minute cakes.

I had hoped to stumble across a local gem, popular with its citizens and I was not disappointed! Sommer Cukrászda was a delight to find and I had kifli (with cherries and chestnuts), strawberry cake (made with cottage cheese I believe), and a lovely sorbet cone for just over 1000 forints. The flavour was fantastic in my opinion and the place was hopping with locals. Unfortunately the sorbet was so delicious, I ate it before I took a picture! I would certainly make a return visit!

Ladies and Gents! A place worth to visit when you want real life Budapest experience. A confectionary that is real with its good smells and tasty sweets that are made in the very same shop and not sourced from some industrial kitchen from far far away. If you look for something fancy.. forget it.. go to rather touristicky places, there are a lot around. If you look for something that taste and smells good, and real this is a place to go for. You will have no regrets for taking the effort to find this place..

Very very cute place with swings inside for sitting. Girl at counter knew English well. The downside is the chimney cakes were very hard even when cooked fresh. They came out steaming hot but we're hard. Payed 2000 ft which was a bit overpriced. The chimneys in the metro were 100x better.

Chimney Cake Budapest is a nice spot to try this popular Hungarian treat. The cakes are usually pre-made, so the freshness and warmth can vary depending on when you get them. While they might not be piping hot every time, they still make for a tasty and enjoyable snack. The location is convenient and the staff are friendly, making it an easy stop if you want something sweet while exploring the city. The cakes have a good balance of crispy outside and soft inside, though there are definitely other places in Budapest where you can find chimney cakes that feel a bit fresher or more freshly baked. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you want a quick, sweet bite, but it’s not the absolute best chimney cake experience you can find. Four stars for a solid snack that’s convenient and pleasant, but there are better spots if you’re looking for top quality.

The almond chimney was ok but I think I should’ve tried the cone with ice cream version! Ah well always a next time I visit Budapest! Can pay with credit card

I walked by and was hooked. I ordered a cone with vanilla ice cream and it was warm and delicious. The next day I came on purpose because I really enjoyed it last night. There were a lot of people and I told myself that my superior was right. I waited patiently and it was my turn. I asked for exactly what I had ordered the day before. Instead, the salesman made me chocolate ice cream. When I said he was wrong, he simply threw the cake in the trash and said he wouldn't sell it to me. According to the reviews, it turns out that this is the nature of their service!

Super quick service and cake was nice and warm - can’t complain! We had gone further up the street for chimney cake and they had ran out, so this definitely saved the day :)

Quite expensive and I don’t think the chimney cake was especially fresh. It certainly didn’t taste that way. Very sweet. You’re probably better off walking around a bit and finding one elsewhere. I saw one with much more reasonable prices near the train station.

Overal good experience, despite the negative reviews, I had tasty dessert and the hosts were polite.

We purchased the Esterházy torte and Hazi Krémes—both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and authentic, and what we especially loved is that they weren’t overly sweet—just perfectly balanced. The lady who served us (possibly the owner) was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's a cozy little gem tucked away on Margit körút—perfect for a sweet escape. Highly recommended!

Best confectionery in Budapest! I can only recommend it. The taste of the sweets here it’s like in my childhood.

Just visited the shop after reading the reviews! Kremes was fresh and delicious.. Owner is sweet and polite served with a smiling face!! I tried kremes, citron Torta and some other kremes which I don’t remember the name😂😅! Definitely worth visiting! The price is very nominal!!

Amazing traditional cakes, local business with good prices :)

(Translated by Google) It is no coincidence that the list of over-favored plastic shops in the "margitnegyed" district town hall did not include KRÉMESHÁZ CUKRÁSZDA, which has a history spanning several decades! This is here, please, with a real, cute, kind intelligent service! The cookies are of normal size (huge in today's "margit quarter" terms), they are very tasty, the salt and cumin "balhé" is brilliant, my favorite is our representative's tree, which my Grandmother made just like that! And the beigs are perfect! And the Eszterház cake... In a word: a place of wonder, an oasis in today's world (Margit quarter)! As soon as I walk in the door, the espresso coffee with whipped cream is already prepared for me, because they know me! (Original) Nem véletlen, hogy a “margitnegyed” kerületi városháza által túlfavorizált műanyag üzleteinek felsorolásából kimaradt a több évtizedes múlttal rendelkező KRÉMESHÁZ CUKRÁSZDA! Ez itt kérem szépen, egy igazi, cuki, kedves intelligens kiszolgálással! A sütik normális (mai “margitnegyed” viszonylatban óriási) méretűek, nagyon finom, a sós-köményes “balhé” zseniális, az én kedvencem a képviselőfánk, amit anno Nagymamám pont így készített el! Ja a beiglik tökéletesek! Na meg az eszterházi torta, … Egy szóval: csodahely, a mai világban (margitnegyedben) egy oázis! Amint belépek az ajtón, már készül is számomra a presszókávé tejszínhabbal, mert ismernek!

Very tasty cakes and good service

(Translated by Google) Best Kremes I've ever tasted. The owners are very polite and friendly and the prices are absolutely reasonable. When visiting Budapest, don't miss it! (visited on August 8, 2025) (Original) Meilleur Krémes que j'ai jamais gouté. Les proprietaires sont très polis et aimables et les prix sont absolument raisonnables. En visite à Budapest, à ne pas rater! (visité le 8 août 2025)

Excellent food, the veal stew I ordered was bursting with flavours and the meat was tender and moist. The portion was more then enough, especially after visiting the nearby baths. The real showstopper is the view though. When sitting inside you get a wonderful view of the castle at the other side of the lake. Can't beat it!

Good food and great location. I gave them only 4 star because of the service. After aeting our lunch, we ordered desert, waited over 20 min and didn't get it, we paid and go out. No one has apologized...

Visited this lovely restaurant randomly and didn’t expect to have one of the best duck leg in my life! With the view and atmosphere everything was just perfect which I missed a lot and leaving a review here after 3 years! Will definitely come again if I am to visit Budapest!

Great little spot just behind Heroes’ Square! The atmosphere was wonderful, with beautiful decor. I had a fantastic cake and a refreshing lemonade — a bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth it. Perfect place to take a break during a walk in the Liget.

Good place for a break after sight seeing. Loved the atmosphere with castle view and live music. Food was amazing. The veal stew was awesome - tender and full of flavour. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The iced latte was also good! Sugar free cake (Hungarian style) - nice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Also enjoyed the stuffed kohlrabi a lot! Sadly, they ran out of pistachio ice cream and two of the chefs special which would have been our first choice but staff us good alternatives. Affogato 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is such a lovely place to eat and take in the atmosphere. I enjoyed the gulyas soup and then apple strudel with gorgeous cinammon ice cream. It has a good view of the castle and is close to Heroes Square, it's well worth a visit with good food, good live music and friendly service.

We visited Városliget Café while in Budapest and absolutely loved it! The view is stunning, the food was perfect and delicious, and the cocktails and beers were amazing. The service was excellent—very friendly staff who made great recommendations. Plus, it's pet-friendly, so you can even bring your dog. Highly recommended!

Enjoy your ice cream while watching the sunset near the Basilica — such a beautiful setting! They’re creative with flavors and the rose-shaped ice cream design makes it extra special. The location adds to the experience — a perfect spot for delicious ice cream.

I saw pictures online of their rose-shaped ice cream and had to try it. I didn’t have high expectations for the taste, but I was pleasantly surprised—it’s really good! There was no line, and the service was fine. A nice, relaxed spot to try something different in Budapest.

Conveniently located right next to St. Stephen’s Basilica. The staff are friendly and have a unique style of serving ice cream. The selection is wide, and the flavors are really good. The place itself is quite small, so you may need to queue outside for a bit, but it’s not too bad. There’s one line for payment, where you get your ticket, and another for ordering your flavours and collecting your ice cream.

The gelato was super delicious and I had an amazing experience getting to try and taste all the flavors. The flavors were super unconventional and honestly matched the vibe of the Gelateria as each gelato itself is shaped into a rose and flower. They had a lot of natural flavors as a result, for example, we got rose, lavender, peach, and they had a ton of other options as well. Their creamed gelato flavors were also delicious and would recommend the gelateria in totality.

Artisanal gelato. It's pricey, but if you are first timers in Budapest, it's worth the splurge. Love the unique floral flavors I got.

Fresh Flavours for summer. It’s an artisan gelato. The staffs making them are really up to it! Had twin type pistachio vanilla & mixed berries tiramisu! Both were great!

We tried the ice cream here on our first day in Budapest. It was beautifully prepared in a rose shape, natural, and delicious—though a bit expensive. I couldn’t decide which flavor to choose, and they kindly let me try five different ones. The staff were patient and very friendly. If you enjoy unique flavors, definitely go for the small portion and give it a try!

Fantastic experience through and through. This is not an uber fancy Michelin location, but it does what you need it to really well. Service friendly, fast and professional. Chef’s gifts were a delight and starters were very tasty. However the mains stole the show, with excellent meat quality and cooking craftsmanship, artfully presented. They were some of the best meals I have ever had in my life. This was excellently complimented by the fantastic wine pairings. Even as a local to area I was able to discover some new Hungarian wines that were simply sublime. If you are going here I would highly recommend the wine pairings! One of the best in Budapest!

An incredible experience. We made reservations for an evening at this Michelin Star wine kitchen. It was all about the food. The quality. The taste. The presentation. Quite phenomenal. Note that the total price I am quoting here includes the fact that my elderly in-laws don’t consume a full meal so some were shared plates. The 4 of shared: One bottle of wine 3 sparkling waters One salad One duck lever pate appetizer 3 entrees 1 dessert The meal came with: An amazing bread basket A gift plate of appetizers from the kitchen 8 dessert tasters Our bill was 94000 Ft or $400 Canadian. Great experience, incredible food and excellent value.

This was my treat for my partners birthday - we had a lovely table and a superb meal and wine flight to match. As my partner doesn’t eat sweet things they were accommodating and swapped a cheese course in instead of the dessert element of the tasting menu just for him. Good start! In all the food was superb but we found the up to 30 minute wait time between the tasting courses to be too long and by time the final course arrived we felt it had taken the shine off the evening. Additionally it was clear the sommelier was more interested in the table next to us that were splashing the cash which was a faux pas in my opinion - we chose not to stay on and sought out after dinner drinks elsewhere - it seems not all guests are even here.

Truly excellent food, wine and service! We had a three course á la carte dinner and recommended local wine, which was absolutely amazing! Perfection in every taste, in every texture. Some tiny details could be improved, like that the wine was a bit late, it should be served before the starter and main course, but that's not enough to withdraw a star, and everything else was absolutely brilliant!

Top notch restaurant in Budapest. Great cost performance, nice service and absolutely amazing food. It works in a traditional fine dining setting, less surprising dishes but quality and taste are well guaranteed. You can trust them to bring you quality food and possibly a great dining experience. I sat indoors while many chose to do outside. Both are fine, highly recommended if you visit Hungary.

Our first day in Budapest drew to a close with an unforgettable dinner at Borkonyha Winekitchen, our first foray into Michelin Star dining. The experience was truly outstanding, thanks in large part to our attentive Chef de Rang, Dominic. For travelers to Budapest, I heartily recommend indulging in the culinary delights of Borkonyha Winekitchen.

This was the one of the best restaurants I visited in years, and if you look at how many restaurants I reviewed, you will see it means a lot. Every dish was wonderful. The wine was delightful. The service was friendly and professional. Thomas the server was knowledgeable and opinionated in the best way. The dish that I really loved was the wagyu and the liver one. I would definitely come back here again.

Really enjoyed eating here. We had a variety of food Pasta, Thai noodles and all were really good. Very nice Hungarian Merlot. A pleasant evening at a good restaurant. If I lived here, it would be a regular for me.

Simple Hungarian food like beef goulash is great here with decent prices. This one is an honest place - not a tourist trap. I also tried their Moroccan lamb tapas and they're very good. The atmosphere is cozy with also seating available outside.

This was our first Hungarian meal. And we enjoyed it very much Food 5/5 - everything was very good , they also have chief special . My kids have pasta and it was good too . Price 5/5- very good value indeed. Environment 5/5 - it's exactly how I would like to have a great meal . Cosy with traditional touch . I would recommend to everyone 🫶😋

The food was outstanding, we had 3 courses each and there wasn't a bad dish amongst them. Lovely atmosphere aswell. A little more expensive but worth every penny. Highly recommend this place.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Budapest 🌟 From the very first visit, it became our absolute favorite spot during our stay. The cozy atmosphere, warm lighting, cozy decor created the perfect feel after a day of exploring the city. The staff were incredibly kind, always smiling, happy to offer recommendations. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece. The flavors were original and perfectly balanced, the presentation was stunning, and the focus on seasonal ingredients made each meal feel fresh and thoughtful. From appetizers to desserts, everything was crafted with care and creativity. We loved it so much, we came back several times during our trip. I recommend cucumber&mint lemonade and mushroom risotto😍 💖 If you’re looking for a spot where culinary artistry meets heartfelt hospitality, this is it. I truly fell in love with this place and can’t wait to return.

We ate a Caesar Salad and a veal schnitzel. It was delicious and the portions were generous. They put a lot of effort into making the dishes and the ingredients were fresh. One of the best meals in Budapest. Please take the mashed potatoes! I highly recommend.

We stumbled upon this place by chance, and I absolutely fell in love. The dishes were precise and delicious, the atmosphere warm and cozy, and the waiters were very nice.

Went to KIOSK twice during my stay in Budapest: once for lunch and once for dinner. Very atmospheric place with amazing food. Everything was delicious: chicken paprikash, truffle fried, veal tagliatelle. My favorite was their gin tonic with olives - the best I've had so far. Spectacular service and kudos to Thomas who attended me and gave his recommendations on food. A must visit gem in Budapest!

Great feel good place with outstanding food. We ordered Hunter Style veal, Duck confit and Chicken broth and everything was delicious as we expected. The best of all for me was desert Poppy Seed Bread Pudding: on the menu for 11 years already, and it was a special experience. Thanks to a great guy Thomas who was our waiter 🥳

We went there for a late lunch. The ambiance ia very nice and cozy, all of the waiters were very friendly. Definitely a good spot hang out with friends! The food was good, but it is on the pricier range. Though I would still recommend if your around the area.

We had a wonderful experience here — the restaurant is spacious, full of natural light, and has a truly warm atmosphere. The staff were kind and attentive, and the traditional Hungarian dishes were beautifully reimagined with a modern touch. Our waiter, Ádám, did an excellent job and made the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Very good truffle fries, crispy and well seasoned. The location is nice – modern but still cozy. Drinks are well made and taste great. All dishes are well thought out, with good balance and quality ingredients. Presentation and taste fit perfectly.

We had a lovely meal at Kiosk. Thomas was our waiter and the service was incredible! Everyone was attentive and made us feel so welcome, not to mention how delicious the food was. The truffle fries were 10/10! Definitely our favourite place we have eaten during our weekend trip to Budapest - would highly recommend.

What a gem to have stumbled on. A Variety of unique seating arrangements, both outside and inside. The interior space is decorated in such a fun whimsy, Boho kind of way. It's energetic, colorful and all about positive vibes. The music was a great compilation of different beats and was never too loud to interfere with our conversation. The food... oh the food! I had the traditional paprika chicken and it was everything and more than I was hoping it would be. I would absolutely revisit this restaurant! Bravo!!

I had been here today for dinner. I'm not sure if this is intended to be a fine dining experience, but it felt like one in every way. Warm staff, quick service, delicious and satiating food and a cosy atmosphere. They have a crazy range of vegan desserts and pasteries (including Hungarian specialities) as well as a bunch of traditional hungarian stews, soups and kolozsvar — but all vegan! I ordered the Hungarian Bean Goulash Soup and a dobos tortazelet (desert), both of which are hungarian specialities. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to have an authentic Hungarian culinary experience! The best part is that they're open even on Hungarian national holidays!

Very cute and classy-feeling restaurant. The staff were very kind but the music being shut off at 9:00 on the dot feels a bit hostile. I had the platter which was quite tasty, but the bean goulash was definitely the standout of the night! The desserts, thought plentiful in options, were lacking a bit in flavour - perhaps it was just the ones we chose. They also do not serve alcohol.

We had been to this restaurant as soon as we landed in Budapest and we had an amazing lunch here… I was very impressed for offering so many vegan options… We ordered Pad Thai and Falafel platter and it tasted delicious. So we had to return the next day to try more and we ordered their daily specials and it was yummy as well!:) The portions size is also very generous and the restaurant offers very reasonable price… Service is very polite and english friendly and the place is very clean and tidy… Highly recommendable…!!

Very cute little cafe and restaurant serving a variety of food from vegan takes on classic Hungarian dishes to pad Thai, gyros and falafel. We had the sharing plate which meant we didn't have to choose from the extensive menu and could try a bit of everything and fill up on some protein. For those looking for a lighter bite there are zucchini noodles dishes and salads on offer too. Drinks are varied but I believe they may all be non-alcoholic. We had the virgin mojito. For those searching for a treat the cage has an incredible range of exquisite cakes and also a variety of ice cream. Service was impeccable. Background music was 90s hits via the saxophone which felt extremely retro but quite fun.

Such a authentic place to have vegan food. We visited this place for lunch and tried a lot of dishes. They all are tasty, authentic and freshly made. Goulash soup, falafel platter, were outstanding. I would highly recommend.

Food is average. Potatoes are from frozen bags and are dry inside, the flavor is barely there. Falafel is also very dry. Seitan is also barely seasoned and it doesn’t taste so good. We expected more looking at the opinions. The best was goulash.

Lovely experience. Quick service. I had goulash soup and some kind of a stuffed cabbage. I was aware that it might be very sour which was really kind as I guess not all the visitors are used to this taste :) I liked both very much!

We had 5 different tastes of macarons, and all of them were good! Not too sweet but fully filled with each flavor and very soft. To be honest, I prefer Korean styled Macarons which are very crispy outside and chewy inside. However, we really enjoyed their interior of the shop and all the designs of packages they have. This cafe made my day! This will be one of the best items for gift to lovers!

Delicious and gorgeous éclairs, caneles and macaroons, both sweet and savoury. Service was also lovely. Great place for a break while touring the city.

We tried two types of macarons — Marcel Dark Chocolate and Jägermeister Orange. The Jägermeister Orange had a unique and refreshing flavor, something new and different to try, while the dark chocolate one was a classic — rich and perfectly balanced. Lovely place for quality macarons!

I stumbled into this place by accident while exploring the city, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Macarons were really delicious, I had to come back for a second round. 🤭 I’ll probably come back again when I come to Budapest.

I’m not a big fan of macarons, however I’m not giving 4 stars for them, but for the service and prices. The macarons tasted good according to my friend, however when we were ordering and paying the cashier mentioned the tip option (mind you, you have to go order yourself, so basically self-service), and when I put 0% for tip, she gave me a disgusting look. It’s a shame that is even an option when there is no table service.

Lovely French style pastry shop in the heart of Budapest, selling high quality desserts, coffee and hot chocolate. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Personally I’m not a big macaron fan, but even I find theirs delicious, easily on par with famous stores in Paris. What I highly recommend is their Hot Chocolate with gingerbread. It’s the best hot chocolate in the city and I find myself coming here every other day for it. If you have a sweet tooth, craving authentic french macarons or just a heartwarming hot chocolate to start your day off then this is the place for you. Don’t miss out on this little gem.🎀

The place is lovely, and the staff are very friendly. I usually don’t like macarons, but the macarons at this place are truly irresistible, not to mention the wide variety of flavors. There are also other types of desserts and several types of drinks. You can either buy to take home or sit and enjoy the desserts. However, note that the space is not large enough during winter for many customers, but it is suitable for a dessert shop. Highly recommended if you want to try macarons for the first time or if you already love them and want to elevate your experience. 👌👌 Even though the prices light be a little expensive but it worth it 💕 A very delightful experience!

This spot serves up the classic Hungarian lángos—a must-try street food. The portion is good and the taste is nice, delivering that perfect savory, comforting flavor you're looking for. However, be warned: it's too oily. The excess grease makes an otherwise great dish a bit heavy. A positive note for visitors: this location often offers a 10% discount if you're holding a tourist pass or voucher, so keep an eye out for that deal!

I honestly did not expect to find gluten-free & vegan langos in Budapest, but this restaurant made it possible even for people with food intolerancies. That is awesome. There is enough chairs to sit inside or outside, no need to book a reservation. This place is very popular, but staff are working really fast. Standard langos is prepared in 2-3 minutes, for gluten-free langos I had to wait around 10 minutes, but it was completely fine for me. The portion is quite generous, I was really full after eating it. Taste was awesome, just like regular langos although this was vegan & gluten-free. Next time I will just ask for more garlic, otherwise it was simply perfect. I know where to stop next time when I am in Budapest.

We got the chilli con carne lángos. It was absolutely amazing. If you're looking to try authentic Hungarian street food in Budapest, Retro Lángos is a must-visit. Located centrally on Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street, this fast-casual eatery has earned its reputation as one of the city’s top spots for lángos, a deep-fried flatbread traditionally topped with sour cream and cheese. Retro Lángos offers over 30 varieties of lángos, including: Traditional Hungarian-style Vegetarian and vegan options Gluten-free and lactose-free versions Popular choices include the classic sour cream and cheese combo, as well as more adventurous toppings like bacon, goulash, and even dessert-style lángos. The vegan versions are clearly labeled and thoughtfully prepared, with plant-based cheese and sour cream. The vibe is casual and retro-themed, with both indoor and outdoor seating. While the place can get crowded, especially during peak hours, the service is fast and friendly, and the staff are knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. The restaurant is dog-friendly and offers takeaway, making it convenient for both sit-down meals and quick bites. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Most dishes range from €3 to €7, making it an affordable way to enjoy traditional Hungarian flavors. It’s a great spot for lunch, dinner, or even a late-night snack.

The lángos were absolutely delicious. It gets quite crowded around lunchtime, but it's definitely worth the wait. We tried lángos at several places around Budapest, and I’d highly recommend it. The atmosphere was great, too.

LOVED the place, so budget friendly, fast, tasty AND clean! For 3 people we paid a total of 38€ (with drinks!) I recommend the Langos with ham and rucolla and the one with chicken tzatziki! Also, for drinks I recommend the Dreher Meggy (has a sweet cherry taste). Would definitely come here again and recommend this place to a friend visiting Budapest :)

We were told to try the Langos while in Budapest. We chose Retro for a combination of convenience and after searching other nearby restaurants for Langos. We were thinking it would be sit down type restaurant, but you order your Langos at one counter, and your drink at another, which was fine. The food came out quick, afterall, the Langos can be fried/prepared fairly quickly and then topped with your favorites. We enjoyed what we had. Surprised these haven't been introduced here in the states.

Didn’t know Langos is this tasty. I didn’t expect much but the combo of the dough/sour cream/cheese & fried onion was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is very casual so you can really sit anywhere. Easy to order things over the counter and they serve it to you at the table. The restaurant itself is small inside but they have ample seating outside. We got lucky with the seating. This place is located a busy area and easy to get to some metros around the area. Highly recommend trying this place.

This place is a little street cafe. It’s not a lot to look at but boy does it punch above its weight regarding food! We communicated with the owner via Facebook and he reserved us a table. We loved the fresh weekly menu. A hidden gem

Very good service. The people are super helpful. The food was delicious. A unique twist on the traditional chimney cake with both sweet and soury options. Homemade lemonades and lots of smiles. :)

This is my absolute favourite place in all of Ráday Street. Service is extremely friendly and impeccable, they treat you like family here! Their food is outstanding, one of the best meat patties in the hamburger in all of Budapest! The proposition of a savoury chimney cake with meat sounds weird at first, but trust me, you should give it a try, it will surprise you in the best way possible! Love these guys, their energy and most importantly their sumptuous food!

Lovely people and amazing salty chimney ! The employees welcomed us so well and explained the entire menu perfectly 🫶

Originality is what attracted me here at first, as I never ate savoury Kurtöskalacz before. I had the one with duck and red cabbage and it was really amazing. Great experience. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, which was compensating for the slightly unclear display of the menu (lacking the sides for example or not really explaining the sizes properly). I also had a sweet Kurtöskalacz there, and even if it wasn't the best I ever had it was still very good. The issue with Kurtöskalacz is always that if you prepare them in advance they get dry very fast. This place definitely prepares them in advance but then coats them with a kind if syrup, preserving a bit of it's moisture, so partially compensating for the natural drying of the Kalacz with time. All in all, still a great experience.

They can prepare tasty burger , with special bread, meat was delicious. If you want to try something interesting, you may visit them, but this is not place with so high google review. Here is something wrong. Stuff was very kind and professional. But atmosphere in this cafe is not so clean, specially the air . Prices are about 10$ for each one. Not cheap, not huge.

Absolutely amazing experience at Hoppacska in Budapest! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was delicious – full of flavour, beautifully presented, and truly memorable. Everything from start to finish was perfect. Definitely a 5-star spot – highly recommend!

It holds its own against the classic French croissant. It has more structural integrity but still has a flakiness and chewiness to it (not as flaky or messy, almost neat). The tastes are complimentary - I got the raspberry pistachio flower croissant and it was well balanced. Small but satisfying. À bit expensive but it is artisanal. The cafe has seating but is no laptop (which was annoying but I respect. Free Wi-Fi). PS there was no queue when I went and the tables turnover quick which was nice! Also toilets :)

They have good sweet croissants and they used to have savory options as well (ham and cheese croissant, in particular). However, the savory options are off the menu now and when I asked for ham and cheese croissant, I was told that they only have a sandwich now but offered to switch bread with croissant. Well, what I received was a total disappointment, which tasted mediocre at best. Would only recommend to come here for their sweet croissants.

Looks way better than it tastes. Had the pistachio croissant and the pumpkin spice caramelita cruffin. The pistachio cream was way too salty and the pastry to dry. Coffee was okay but nothing more. Interior light should be a little less “white” to make it more cozy.

A place with a friendly atmosphere with a touch of Scandinavia. The pastries are very tasty, as are the drinks. We had a hard time leaving. We will definitely return the next time we visit Budapest.

Great pastries here! Flaky buttery croissants and sticky sweet buns. We didn’t get to try everything we wanted to try so definitely will come back next time I’m in town. The coffee is fine, could be a little stronger for me. ;) Gets very busy in the weekend!!

Amazing croissants! Freyja definitely lives up to its reputation. The croissants are perfectly flaky, buttery and full of flavor — honestly some of the best we’ve ever tried.

The strawberry cheesecake croissant was soft, flaky, and so delicious with its creamy filling. Paired with a warm cup of cocoa, it was the perfect cozy treat! 🌸☕🥐

The açaí bowls are amazing! And the service is great! They are also very nice and accommodating:) I loved it❤️ it’s a bit pricey, but it’s very delicious, would highly recommend it!

Anjuna Ice Pops also has amazing Açaí Bowls. We both had the Rio Calling and wow so good after walking around Budapest. 😊 Highly recommend!

I had the mini coconut with milk chocolate covered. It was delicious

Delicious dairy-free ice pops with great selection of flavors. You can taste that the ice pops are made with fresh fruits/nuts. My favorite is the mango-strawberry, which taste just like real fruit.

Very delicious ice cream. I absolutely recommend it. It’s not cheap but worth it.

We stopped by Anjuna Ice Cream, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the day. The kids were amazed, delicious flavors, great quality, and such a fun.

Excellent tasting popsicle but very over priced. They have a decent variety of flavors. It was really fresh having them in a hot day. They offer dipping sauces and toppings too and thats nice.

Amazing vibe and great cocktails! Loved this place - the music was awesome, the bartenders were super guest-friendly, and the signature cocktails were really interesting. My favorite was Tropical Thunder! The beautiful glassware and perfectly made ice show that the people working here truly love what they do. I’ll definitely be coming back for the atmosphere alone. Highly recommend checking this spot out!

Black Swan Cocktail Bar made a great impression straight away. It has a speakeasy style where you normally ring a bell to be let in, although I happened to walk in as someone else was leaving, which clearly threw the member of staff who greeted me. I was seated at the bar, which I always enjoy as a solo traveller. My first drink was a really unique cocktail topped with a burnt mushroom garnish. It gave off an unusual aroma and created a flavour combination I’ve never tried before, but I actually really liked it. I ended up having two more cocktails while chatting with the bartender serving me. She was friendly, gave me recommendations for other bars to try, and talked a bit about how beautiful the Buda side of the city is. It was a genuinely nice chat and exactly the kind of interaction you appreciate when travelling alone. The bar itself is beautifully designed, with a huge range of spirits on display. I even ordered an extra drink I hadn’t planned on getting, which says a lot about how much I was enjoying myself. The drinks, after service charge too, are slightly on the expensive side for Budapest, but the quality is absolutely there, so it doesn’t feel unreasonable. If I had one criticism (which I actually mentioned to the staff), it’s that the artwork next to each cocktail in the menu is an AI image rather than a real photograph. As a photographer, it feels like a missed opportunity not to commission a proper image or source something that matches the drink. It comes across as a lazy choice, but it doesn’t affect my rating at all. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. Great drinks, great atmosphere and excellent service 😊

Went in having super high expectations just because our friends had gone and ranked it a 10/10. I left the bar with a solid experience, but I wouldn’t rate it at a mindblowing favorite bar in the world level. Apparently they just changed owners six months ago. Don’t get me wrong, the drinks were all delicious, but they were made mostly with store bought liqueurs so none of the flavors were especially new to me. The interior was cool and dark, and it was literally right underneath our Airbnb so perfect location. Worth going to if you’re in the area for sure though!

We love hunting for speak easy places, so this was a gem to find. The entrance is super cool and the enteriour as well, matches the vibe. The music didn’t realky go with it, a rockabily, jazzy music would be better, but that is all. It’s very small, but cozy. The service was friendly and the drinks great. We will be back for sure

Unique cocktails and fun, loud party vibe in an intimate setting. You will easily see what your neighboring table ordered and the reaction on their face, but you’ll barely hear what they have to say. Great time, great music, great cocktails (from the menu or classics), clubby sounds tracks

Phenomenal cocktail bar. All of the drinks we had were very tasty and unique. The bartender gave us lots of recommendations for our time in Budapest which was super helpful.

Please never go to this place. It is very hard for me to give such a low rating to this place because I had very high expectations. The service was perfect and the place is small but still nice and atmospheric. The cocktail we got was beautiful and tasty but the reason I gave one star is exactly what you can see in the photo I attached. This is honestly shameless and outrageous. I paid 5500ft for a quarter glass of cocktail maybe five sips. I will never go back and I do not recommend anyone to waste their money here.
