Daubner cukrászda parkolója
One of the best pastry shops in Budapest, according to legend. The storefront is very inconspicuous because it is blocked by a row of trees and has no sign. You can only see the dazzling array of pastries on the glass shelves and the long queue of customers. There are many types of pastries, including sweet, salty, sliced, whole cakes, ice cream, and chocolate. Most of the customers are locals. The ice cream is fantastic, and the pogacsa, a small round bread that is a traditional Hungarian snack, is highly recommended. It has a baked flour aroma with a nutty scent from pumpkin seeds.
Gelarto Rosa - Ice Cream shop is an Italian ice cream shop. It offers great value for money and is definitely worth a try.
Szamos Marcipán Cukrászda
The best marzipan in all of Hungary, with a variety of traditional and innovative desserts that are exquisitely delicious. Krémes is a traditional Hungarian dessert, with thin and crispy handmade pastry layers generously filled with light and airy cream. Szamos interprets tradition in a way that closely aligns with modern life without altering the original recipe.
Ruszwurm Cukrászda
The oldest café in Hungary. Ruszwurm Cukrászda started operating in 1827 and is located in the Buda Castle District. It mainly serves sweets and coffee. The café still retains its original decor and some antiques. Ruszwurm cream pastry is the signature dish of the café.
Gerbeaud Café and Confectionery
It is one of the most famous cafés in Europe and also one of the largest. It is said that in 1858, Henrik Kugler founded Gerbeaud, whose branch in Budapest is located in an excellent location. Tourists flock here in droves! It still maintains the architectural and decorative style, coffee tradition, and confectionery craftsmanship from a hundred years ago. Since 1870, the elites of northern Pest have enjoyed gathering in front of the city's busiest square to drink coffee and taste desserts.
Nándori Cukrászda Dessert Restaurant
Nándori opened in 1957, originally named A Varga, and changed to its current name in 1988. For half a century, the chefs have adhered to traditional recipes and methods. Although small in scale, it is noteworthy. Nándori's shop is small, with two small round tables indoors in winter and four or five small tables outdoors in summer. On gloomy winter afternoons, it gets dark around 3 or 4 PM. A piece of chocolate almond widow cake with added alcohol can sweep away oppressive emotions and warm cold hands and feet. On drowsy summer afternoons, sitting by the wrought iron tables and chairs in the shade, with a cup of fragrant Illy coffee and a piece of seasonal refreshing fruit cake, happiness lingers at the corners of your mouth.
Auguszt Café
This shop is the lifelong effort of the Auguszt family. In 1870, Auguszt Elek opened the first small dessert shop in Buda. Over more than a century, it has experienced both the glory of becoming the most famous café in Buda and the bleakness of being unable to operate during revolutionary times. These ups and downs have never shaken the Auguszt family's passion for making desserts. In 1999, the fourth-generation descendant of the Auguszt family, daughter Auguszt Olga, opened this café on Kossuth Lajos Street in Pest, not far from the Elizabeth Bridge. The café is located in the Wagner House, a protected historic building built in 1896. It was renovated and reopened in 2009. Apart from occasional tourists, the local customers are mostly elderly.
