Great food, great service, and great experience over all! I've never seen a "chimney" sub before, so I was super intrigued and decided to give it a try. Turns out, it's a traditional Hungarian street food and this spot happens to service a variety of sweet and savory breads - all baked fresh by the hour! Talk about freshness! I went with the Hungarian on the Jalapeño Cheese bread and it was amazing. Great flavor and the jalapeños complimented the salami, cheese and pickled fillings. Highly recommend you give them a try when in Sarasota! read more

Tried Kurtos for the first time while we were visiting in Downtown Sarasota and I was blown away by the bread here! The inside is so cute and relaxing they had a side for bread and another side for ice cream. They had a variety of flavors sweet and savory but we decided on two sweet breads one was strawberry and a cinnamon sugar. I LOVED the strawberry bread it was perfect!! I enjoy the swirls of the bread texture is light on the inside and crunchy on outside and the cinnamon sugar bread was really good too. Definitely would recommend. read more

Stopped in a couple of weeks ago, per the suggestion of a barista up the street. Incredibly happy I did. The woman at the front was fantaaaastic! She helped explain what chimney cakes were, then helped us understand that ingredients are sourced locally, and ultimately helped make some fantastic suggestions. We had The Hungarian, which was absolutely delicious; the combination of flavors and textures was pure bliss! We also had the Frenchie, which was also delicious. Space is cute. Small shop with some tables out front. If you're inside, be sure to head to the back so you can read the articles about Kurtos! read more

Lovely staff and the food was so yummy! A friend and I tried the Hungarian sandwich on the cheese bread and it was delicious!

Stopped by here while waiting for the downtown Sarasota Xmas Parade, & this was definitely a great choice. They have a variety of sweet and savory breads and with that you can have fillings or they can make you a sandwich with it. These are traditional Hungarian bread. The owner is Hungarian and let me know about them. She was very nice and welcoming as well. I ordered the Hungarian and Italian sandwich and she cut them in half and put each half in two containers. I wanted to make sure that we can try both of them. They are so unique and tasty and definitely out of this world. I don't really order sandwiches out bc I always feel like I can make them myself. These are definitely diff than I've tasted with that Hungarian influence. We really loved our sandwiches here and would def love to try their sweet breads and cones. They also serve those with soft serve. This is a very cute cafe and it should def be on your must stop list. It be perfect to eat there, or take it to go and eat it at the park across the street by the water as a picnic! read more

My daughter took me here when I was visiting from NC, it is one of her favorite spots! Having visited Hungary I loved seeing the beautiful Chimney breads. The owner and staff are very warm and welcoming. I had the Frenchie- I planned to only eat half but it was so delicious I had no leftovers. The creamy Brie with the fruit jam, crisp apple pieces and turkey were divine! My daughter always gets the Hungarian and my husband had the French dip- I had a bite of that too and it was rich and delicious. We brought home some curried chicken pea salad and it was a wonderful snack later in the evening. If you like curry, you must try it. This will be a must visit place Everytime I come to see my daughter. PS- I sampled the ice cream and it was fabulous too. read more

Authentic Hungarian chimney cakes. I didn't get a chance to try them in Buda Pest but these are the real deal. Freshly made right out of the oven. The owner explained to us all the different types they make. They even make larger cakes for sandwiches with different toppings. We arrived for dessert and tried a combo cinnamon and walnut. So good and quite addictive. Conveniently located between 2 coffee shops, pick up a coffee to go with your cake. Seating indoors and outside. Definitely check them out for lunch and/or dessert, you won't be disappointed. read more

Chimney bread is SO COOL!!!! We have been wanting to check this place out and finally walked over. The girl inside was super helpful and not only explained the origin, but all the different flavors, how to eat them and the best pairings. They had a sample on the counter to try (genius!) and she took her time explaining everything to us. We tried a savory cheese one with cream cheese and a sweet cinnamon with Nutella. Wonderful service, nice big clean shop and lots to offer. The chimney bread pulls apart so neat and makes it a breeze to eat. We can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Ordered the Italian sandwich comes with ONLY 1 slice of pre-package Prosciutto $9 not to mention they had no tomatoes and used cherry tomatoes very disappointed. When you have a heavy hand with the basil spread be sure to compensate with meat! Lastly I DO NOT appreciate the added peppers (severely allergic) to the sandwich of which is NOT mentioned on the menu. Day/Night is ruined as well as money wasted read more

I was down in Sarasota this week for lunch and we decided to check out a rather interesting spot, Kurtos Chimney Cakes. These are traditionally a Hungarian/Romanian street food. They offer savory chimney cakes for sandwiches, or sweet chimney cakes for desserts. We decided to try both. I had the Hungarian sandwich with salami, egg, cheese, paprika cream, and veggies. We also decided to try a sweet chimney cake with sugar and walnuts. The sandwich was served on a jalapeno cheddar chimney cake and it was super tasty. The flavors and textures worked well. The sweet chimney cake was quite the treat as well. The inside is a sweet soft dough, sort of like a cinnamon roll. It has crispy crunchy exterior where the sugar is carmelized with the walnut topping. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. read more

Friendly A fixture at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays, they have finally made the move to a storefront at UTC. Open for just a few weeks at the spot previously occupied by Sweet Doctor, Kurtos adds a sweet, or savory, option for food at the mall. Their signature item is their Chimney Cakes, a traditional Hungarian pastry treat of dough wrapped into a tube shape. It is baked and seasoned with your choice of topping. I was able to try chimney cakes a couple of years ago in Budapest and the one I had today was just like what I had overseas, slightly crispy on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside. My topping of choice was sugar cinnamon. It was made to order, took about 5 minutes, and was nice and hot. While I waited, I had a nice chat with the owners. They not only offer the traditional sweet chimney cakes but also a selection of savory ones. They also make cones, think smaller cone shaped pastry, with fillings such as salads or ice cream. This is a takeout business, no seating. read more

Only been there for lunch (four times in past two months). Small place - good for take out. I've had their Hungarian sub twice and Italian sub twice on their unique "chimney breads". I alternate bread flavors (Everything Bagel, Olives&Cheese and Jalapeno&Cheese) because they are all good. Locally owned and operated. Owner is always there and always nice. Will go again and again. read more

We visited Kűrtős Chimney Cakes a few days ago. It has been a bucket list item for us, as we are Hungarians, and this is a specialty food we love! We only had the originial, sweet chimney cakes before, and we saw that this bakery also makes savory ones! We tried the Hungarian sandwich, the Salmon, and Italian from the Savory ones. We then also bought several of the sweet ones, and an epic ice cream filled chimney cake! We are so impressed with the flavor and presentation! The employees were exceptional in taking care of us! read more
