Chimney Cake House
Welcome to the Chimney Cake House, your premier local coffee shop and desserts specializing in authentic European and Mediterranean treats.

Enjoy it warm or as a trendy Chimney Cone loaded with premium ice cream for the ultimate sweet indulgence. We offer a complete range of high-quality desserts, including handmade, honey-soaked baklava, delicate French crepes, golden-brown Belgian waffles, and irresistible mini pancakes. Our beverage menu is crafted to complement any sweet choice: choose from our full selection of espresso drinks, refreshing fruit smoothies, or seasonal warm winter drinks.
Customer's reviews
I visited this new spot and it’s a real gem! The selection of Middle Eastern sweets is amazing—fresh, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. They also offer crepes and waffles. Everything tastes authentic and made with care. I tried the baklava and a few other pastries, and they were perfectly balanced, not overly sweet but full of flavor.
The Turkish coffee was excellent—strong, smooth, and served just the way it should be. It paired perfectly with the desserts. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a treat with friends or even just relax on your own.
The staff are friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. This shop is a fantastic addition to the area, and I’ll definitely be back often!

If you haven’t tried a Chimney Cake (Kürtőskalács) from this shop yet, you are seriously missing out on one of life’s greatest simple pleasures.
From the moment you walk in, the smell of caramelizing sugar and fresh dough hits you—it’s impossible to walk past without stopping. Here’s why this place is a 10/10:
Freshness: They bake these right in front of you. There’s nothing like pulling apart a warm, steaming ribbon of dough that’s crispy on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside.
The Texture: That crunch of the cinnamon-sugar glaze is perfection. It’s not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced.
Creative Fillings: I tried mine filled with Nutella and fresh strawberries, but even the plain walnut one is incredible.
Service: The staff is super friendly and clearly takes pride in the "spinning" process. It’s as much a show as it is a snack!

The last time I had chimney Cake was in Budapest. The traditional is covered in cinnamon and sugar. CCH has a number of different flavored toppings. I chose the coconut with a scoop of chocolate ice cream inside. I don't recommend trying to eat it while you're driving because the coconut makes it messy.
That aside, it was as wonderful as the cake I had in budapest!
Each cake is baked fresh per order so it takes a little time, but so worth it! They also have a number of varieties of baklava which I will try next time.
If you are looking for a unique, a dessert experience, try Chimney Cake House!
