Jean Nahed
★★★★★Edited 2 months agoFor me this place serves the Best chimney cake in Budapest, and specially recommended to try the Pistachio one filled with Nutella, simple and tasty. Also they serve illy coffee which is one of the best coffee taste. Prices are fair for a tourist area in vaci street. They have another branch in the nearby area towards Astoria. The service was very good and the guy Maté was very helpful. Worth the try.

★★★★★3 months agoGreat chimney cake and fantastic service. The staff in the shop was very friendly and we ordered cakes with icecream. The cake as well as the icecream was very good. After we finished we ordered some coffee but because it was busy we got a buzzer to wait outside on the terrace. After ten minutes the coffee was ready and because we had to wait they gave us a free chimney cake to choose. Great service and very appreciated although not necessary. Very much recommend this cafe and we will definitely come back before we go home
