This is the place to go for chimney cakes. Tastes very good and there's a variety of options with or without ice cream and toppings. The staff is really helpful and nice - we changed our mind on the topping too latez when the chiney cake was already done and the lady made a new one from scratch.

Very delicious chimney cakes! I came here because they offer vegan options. There were several vegan chimney cake flavors to choose from, including pistachio (if you take it without cream). For the vegan gelato, they had three flavors: strawberry, lemon and dark chocolate. Staff was helpful and nice ❤️

It’s really nice that they offer the typical chimney cake in a vegan version! They have around five different options, and our favorites were definitely the original one and the cinnamon flavor. The chimney cakes are made fresh at the moment, which makes them even better. They also offer toppings, although none of them were vegan, but they do have a vegan ice cream option, which was a nice surprise. We ended up coming back about three times during our trip because they were so good and also very close to our hotel. You order at the counter and wait for your cake depending on how busy the place is. They also have a few spots inside where you can sit and enjoy it fresh and warm. Overall, a really nice place for a sweet vegan treat!

One of the best chimney cakes I’ve had in Budapest! The cake was freshly made, warm, and perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and fluffy inside, exactly how a good kürtőskalács should be Super delicious and definitely worth trying if you’re in the area. Would absolutely come back again! 😍

This place is amazing! A must stop if you are in Budapest. They make their chimney cakes fresh to order! It is totally worth the wait. They come out hot, fresh, and delicious! I tried the vanilla and coco ones. Loved them both. The staff are friendly and there are places to sit inside and outside. The inside fills up quickly just fyi.
