Budapest Café & Restaurant's Amazing (Passover-friendly) Macaroons - Chocolate with Almond Cream, Chocolate Dipped, Pecan & Regular Coconut!
Mike R.

Running an errand in Yorkville and passed Budapest Café & Restaurant. Their scrumptious looking items in the window called me in to check it out into this narrow, cozy, intimate spot. In the glass counter was a selection of enticing homemade, old world style baked goods: assorted cakes, Hazelnut Triangles, Honey Slices, Cherry Squares, Apple Squares, Swiss Rolls, Rainbow Cookies, Apple Strudels (including one Sugarfree), and something interesting I've yet to try... Cabbage Strudel. The clerk also pointed out they had Passover-friendly macaroons: Regular Coconut, Pecan, Chocolate Dipped and a Chocolate enrobed Almond Cream Filled. Decided to test out their variety of Macaroons. So, glad I did! Wow! Fantasic! Will definitely return the next time I'm in the area to enjoy more of their treats. Recommend you stop by Budapest Café & Restaurant too!

If you find yourself on the upper east side with a hankering for something sweet, check out Budapest Cafe. Order coffee and relax in the tiny restaurant, or take dessert to go, as we did. Indulging in their cherry cheesecake, T said "this is the best cheesecake I ever had" which is exactly what I said last time about their blueberry crumb. With large slices (and only $6 each) I packaged most up to eat at another time. Desserts are VERY rich. I won't even think about the calorie count!

Cherry strudel

A little gem in the UES for authentic strudels and apple pie. To go or to consume in the cafe, this Hungarian bakery is worth a visit.

This is a cute spot to go for coffee and dessert. The people who work there are lovely.

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.

I had the chicken paprikash for dinner, and it was delicious. They served a big portion enough for two. They also have an excellent selection of baked goods. I am a fan of the apple strudel. The staff is nice and friendly. I will definitely go back again.

Ugh. I hate to leave bad reviews. I really do. I wanted to like Budapest Especially when you walk in and see the delicious pastries. Unfortunately it ends there. I won't tell you how bad the "grilled chicken" was or the noodle dish my friend ordered...but I will tell you, as we walked out to pay the bill and told the waitress, "look, we're nice people and you're really nice...but the food was terrible." "I know," she replied.

Classic food and desserts from Hungary and Slovakia. The desserts interest me more than the food, to be honest.

I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

Bread treats were decent not too different from other bakeries. The fruit and mushroom cakes were…read moredelicious, I enjoyed a lot more than I expected. Not too sweet and a good balance. Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before. The inside doesn't have many tables and it was pretty busy when I went, so I wouldn't expect to get a seat every time you come here.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

The service was excellent; everyone in there was so friendly! I got to warm up a few of the cookies…read moreI ordered and WOW. They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!! Demitri was so kind and accommodated for my complicated and long order! I definitely recommend the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, it was so rich in flavor! The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
