Small but very good food and great desserts. Not fancy, bakery counter up front so you can just order baked goods to go.

This place never has a line but always has people. Service is efficient, the food is great, I had a 5 dollar cherry bar that was large enough that I'm kind of full haha. Would go back.

Another gem in the neighborhood. The food is a bit pricey for my liking but the goulash was extremely tasty and flavorful. I forgot what my husband got, I think one of the cutlets but he wasn't super impressed with it. This is a place where you can say "oh i tried that place once". It's really a bakery more than anything. Their pastries are to die for and their strudels are the best. I'm very much a fan of their rugelachs, cakes, and pies. My husband said their pies were among the best he's ever had and trust me, he's had many pies. I love stopping by this place on the way back from the gym and getting pastries. If you haven't tried their pastries, do yourself a favor and try them. Service is quick and ambience is usually quiet and chill. Very laidback.

No lie, this small but charming bakery & restaurant helped me choose Budapest as a destination this summer! While the presentation & preparation was... rustic perhaps, it was still all pretty delicious. We had the veal goulash and the chicken palacsinta, as well as some peppers stuffed with a cream cheese and a couple of pastries. Of those, I recommend the chicken and the pastries the most, both of which were good enough for us to actually go wow! The goulash was a bit overseasoned though (which I can confirm now is not just a cultural thing after having like five different goulashes IN Budapest itself). Service is very friendly and sweet.

I spotted a delicious looking pastry through the window and the counter server said it was a cheese danish. I sat down at a table and ordered the cheese danish. It was the best one I'd ever eaten. An older gentleman sitting nearby said he comes in every day for a cheese danish and coffee. Two visitors from Alabama said they'd come in on the recommendation of a friend, had a delicious lunch entree, a bowl of cherry borst and some type of lemon dessert and loved everything. I'll be back next week.
