Went there on our first day with wife and daughter. It was the best way we could imagine to start our short break. The cake ( I had ginger and never normally eat cakes) was amazing. The surroundings were stunning, and the history of the family over the years, and how they beat adversity is fascinating.

Ace coffee shop- definitely the best hot chocolate ever! The pastries were of a high standard, the staff were very helpful and the atmosphere was calm and quiet (a welcome change from the bustling city). It roughly worked out at £4 each for a cake and coffee- bargain for the quality you receive. If you want a warming coffee in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere then go to Auguszt Cukraszda.

Best coffee shop I have been to in Budapest downtown. Only a few minutes from Elisabeth (Erzsébet) bridge. Really delicious cakes, salty things like spinach or ham stuffed little rolls. They say it's the oldest confectionery in Budapest, still owned by the same family. Very friendly service, and nice interior also. You must try!

This beautiful shop is an oasis in downgtown Budapest! They serve fantastic cakes, try the traditional Hungarian Dobos cake, or the Somlói Galuska, but the strange named XC cake is my favorite! It is near Astoria metro station, a must see (and TASTE) ! Ask about the family history! It is amazing!
