Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Budapest

Le Ruszwurm, a small baroque tea room founded in 1827, is perfect for enjoying a pastry shop after visiting the castle. Empress Elizabeth (the famous Sissi) often frequented it. The Ruszwurm pastries had such a high reputation that couriers were sent from Vienna to supply a few privileged gourmets with cakes. The beautiful Biedermeier style furniture of the small tea room (renovated in 1960) is now classified as a historical monument. Even today, the quality of the pastries maintains the reputation of this establishment.

The Auguszt family is not kidding around with tradition, which has been carried on for 130 years in this cozy downtown tea room. The establishment overlooks both a boulevard and a courtyard shared by the small designers of Paloma. Cakes and pies in the purest Hungarian tradition: beijgli at Christmas time, dobos torta, Rákóczi turos, Esterházy pie... simply exquisite. Warm wine and chocolate in winter or homemade lemonade in summer. Three other establishments in town (Fény út 6, Múzeum krt. 14-16 and Sasadi út 190).

The number of establishments serving Hungarian strudels, or rétes, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Hooray for this small café-pastry shop ideally located in the Jewish quarter, where you can stock up or taste these real little puff pastry delights! The poppy seed and plum pastry is stunning and completely original. Unless you opt for the fresh cheese or cabbage retes. In short, with plum, chocolate, apple... there are about ten of them per day. Very good welcome and cheap strudel.

A pastry shop - tea room more than a century old which has no equal in Budapest. The Auguszt house, which is famous throughout Hungary, was already a supplier to the monarchs. Their establishment in Buda, close to the large popular market of Fény utca, the most established and patinated of its branches, is a treat for lovers of the greatest Hungarian sweet and savory classics (including salami sandwiches). Go there with your eyes closed, everything is divine!

One might be suspicious of the place, which seems to be geared towards tourists, but these ice creams are truly delectable, artisanal and designer! The tradition is to ask for a cone, fill it with successive layers of ice cream of different flavors and colors, so that the whole thing forms a rose as pretty as appetizing. Also ice cream cups and coffee in winter. Among other original flavors - basil-lemon, white chocolate with lavender, and pumpkin - there are also vegan and sugar-free ice creams.

An artisanal ice cream parlour operating as a franchise, with about ten establishments in the city (including an ice cream parlour in the very pleasant district of Újlipótváros, Hollán Ernő utca 4, or one next to the central market, Vámház krt. 6). Dozens of original flavours - in sorbets as well as ice cream - often combining lavender(levendula) with other components, such as lemon, without any additives or colouring. A delight, especially the Sicilian pistachio or the salted butter caramel.

A young team of talented Magyar ice cream makers has invaded the city with their vegan ice creams, and all the better for it! They can be found in addition to this address in Pozsonyi út 5, Lövőház utca 24 and Lake Balaton. Artisanal ice cream sticks 100% natural, gluten-free, lactose-free, animal product-free, high in color, which will blow your mind and your taste buds. Among the most original flavors, we award the prize to the avocado, with tarragon and lime, or to the raspberry-litchi-pink flavor. Establishments closed between November and April.

It's just a stone's throw from the zoo, where you can taste the famous kürtőskalács, spiral pastries from Transylvania. Here they are served to take away or on the spot, enjoying the spectacle of the nearby flamingos. The place is ideal for brunches and breakfasts. More classic palates will opt for cinnamon, vanilla, walnut, almond, coconut or cocoa icing; the more gourmand will be tempted by various variations: chocolate-raspberry (with a scoop of ice cream), kürtőskalács-chocolate fondue or even floating island style!

The Daubner pastry shop is a real institution in Budapest. Even though the shop is out of the way, there is a long queue to buy a cake or an ice cream (in summer and winter) on weekends. The plethoric choice of pastries makes your mouth water: cream and raspberry pie, Sacher pie or caramel pie... The ice creams are also a treat. You can eat on the spot, while having coffee, and there are two lines: one for those who have already ordered and the other for those who have just arrived.

Mr. Szamos' store looks like a candy store with its stuccoed ceiling and gold walls. However, the store is only a showcase for the Szamos company. The marzipan specialties have been made since 1935 in the family's factory in Pilisvörösvár, which today has about a dozen machines, some of which were created by Szamos himself. In Budapest, marzipan, chocolates, candies and cakes are sold. The packaging makes it easy to take everything away and give it as a gift.

à table! (yes, there's no capital letter) is a good place to stop and pick up some pastries or sandwiches before continuing your shopping at MOM Park. It's also possible to eat in, with coffee or tea on the side. Breakfasts are also available. The menu is quite varied, with rather good products. This address, one of fifteen in the Hungarian capital, is very small, as it is located in a small mobile stand inside the shopping center. Nevertheless, reviews are somewhat mixed.

Amber's French Bakery & Café is a nice place to have a coffee or a hot drink throughout the day and take a break between two visits of the city. It's also a nice place to come and work with your computer, for people who like to be surrounded by the ambient sounds of a café when they work. The establishment also serves small dishes and pastries, to enjoy on the spot or to take away.

Several addresses in Budapest (fifteen at present). à table ! (no, there's no capital letter) is a good-quality bakery-pastry chain.

This café-tea house serves good drinks, pastries and breads all day long. You will first be attracted by the green front blending both new and old, and then enjoy spending some time inside or on the small terrace set up on nice days. The window display of pastries, breads and hot dishes (like a vegetarian quiche) is tempting. Cosy atmosphere. For those who wish to work quietly, head to the floor perfectly adapted for that.

This network of Hungarian patisseries opened in 2013, initially with two stores in central Budapest (including a food truck at the entrance to the West-End shopping center). Today, it boasts seven franchises across the city. You can buy sweet delicacies (cakes, rolls...) and savoury ones (pretzels, bagels, filled croissants...), often straight from the oven. Bite Bakery also serves coffee and other beverages. An ideal address for a short break during your visit to Budapest. Smiling service and a local, touristy atmosphere.

This ultra-cosy pastel-colored café-shop, a stone's throw from the basilica, is one of the first to have made Budapest succumb to the macaroon craze. There are places that are the realization of dreams: this is precisely the case of Dodo's store (Dóri), which also makes cannelés. The pastry chef has been trained in France and gives free rein to her gustatory creativity to the delight of gourmets: cherry-chestnut macaroon, caramelized nuts with aszú grapes... Service with care. Terrace in summer.

A tea / pastry shop just one street away from Andrássy Avenue. Soft colors on one side and an almost luxurious interior on the other, this is what whets the appetite. The creations, as innovative as design, are not cheap, but the pistachio-raspberry paris-brest, as well as the red fruit cheesecakes and lemon-basil tarts are simply irresistible. Unless you fall for a frangipane tart with red currants, in season. As for drinks: coffees, teas, but also homemade lemonades are at the top of the list.

A small Italian ice cream shop with authentic flavors, prepared on site. Excellent strawberry sorbet, pistachio ice cream, or other seasonal creations such as plum married with cinnamon. You can choose between ice cream in a cone or in a jar. Smiling welcome, impeccable service. A good address to taste an ice cream if you are in the area during your visit to Budapest. Some people have even qualified the shop as the best in Budapest a few years ago, it might be worth the trip..

Gianni, the Italian owner of several Italian restaurants in town (Trattoria Pomo d'Oro, DOC vino bar and more) and star of the Hungarian food scene has struck again! This time, it's with ice cream from April to the end of October and exquisite pastries, served right next to the Danube, in a quiet little street with a terrace. You will love the pear-gorgonzola, the coffee ice cream or the salted butter caramel. You can also sip coffee, granita or fresh fruit juice (pineapple, beet, carrot, strawberry...).

Ghraoui's chocolates enjoyed an unbounded reputation in the Middle East and far beyond. The Damascus chocolate factory even won the "Prix Spécial d'Honneur" at the Paris chocolate fair in 2005. After the war in Syria, the family moved its production to the suburbs of Budapest and opened its European showcase in the Hungarian capital. You can taste these little wonders (chocolates, candied fruits) on the spot and buy some to take away. For the Magyar touch, one chocolate refers to the Danube, another to the Magyar horse, the nonius.
