Fodor's Expert Review Auguszt Cukrászda

This old-fashioned bakery--café has a loyal following for some of the lightest, most buttery pastries in Budapest. All the classic Hungarian cakes like rétes (strudel filled with sour cherries, apples, or cheese) and dobos torta (chocolate cream cake with caramel) can be enjoyed here, along with some unique in-house creations. If you find yourself near Széll Kálmán tér on Metro line 2, you can also check out their original (and still active) shop at Fény utca 8, a few minutes' walk from the station.
