    I'm a big fan of any European eatery or drinkery :D!!! Been to the Polish Restaurant up the road from here a few times and always come down to Kürtosh for a warm brew & a Hungarian Donut .. the nutella is LOVE good :)!! First time i went here i thought it was bizzarre that the cakes on display were sold in weight rather thsn per slice haha.. first place I've ever heard of that :)!! I took the opportunity to get a 2 bite size peice which was 50 grams of every cake i thought looked good :D. After i got close to choosing 20 peices of cake the guys were looking around for my mates but i was like it's only me & I'm hungry haha!! Got a cold overloaded infused tea to go with the cake challenge :), i took at least one bite of each and went back for 2nds with ones i enjoyed the most.. you could say i was in a food coma towards the end haha ;)!! In my opinion the cakes were nice & definitely tasty but the 3 or 4 times i had come back after the cake eating stomach torture i have settled with the few fantastically delicous flavours of the Hungarian Donut with a warm Or cold Brew :D!! Definately a European favorite in the Surry :D!!

    Nice bakery-cafe which sells cake by weight. Presentation: There were about 12-15 different cakes on display. All looked really good. I went for the strawberry cream sponge cake. Taste: It tasted really good. It wasn't too sweet and the crust of the sponge had a really nice texture. because it wasn't too overly sweet, i had no problems demolishing it. Also ordered a fruit green iced tea which was super refreshing. It was a hot day so this was much needed. Service: Good service. Staff were polite. However, I noticed there were quite a few vacant tables with dirty dishes which needed removing. Location/Atmosphere: Located on crown street in Surry Hills. Has a rustic feel to it. Recommendation: I definitely recommend this place. Can't wait to come back to try the other cakes :) Cost: For cake and drink it was approximately $11.

    Cakes- you can customize how big or small of a size you want.

    The concept is appealing but the execution isn't good! I like that I could order whatever I want in whatever size I would like and pay by the weight. So, I had the chance to sample a few things. Flavors were OK but textures needed some work. The staff seemed a bit bored and weren't the most helpful with my questions. I wouldn't mind trying another one of their locations with the hopes of getting better service.

    You know those places that are so great that you find yourself in a place of tension about telling everyone you know how amazing they are because then the little secret gold mine of a cafe you know no longer becomes a secret? Well, this is definitely that place for me. I love that they are open till late! I love that they are a cozy cafe! I love that they make great coffee! I love that they have amazing cakes! I love that they have something unique to offer! This is not your average cafe. ABOVE average! They may not serve much for the savoury palette but man do they cater for the sweet tooth. I'm pretty sure it is the first store to display that they sell their cakes by weight. What does this mean? Instead of going to a cafe and ordering a slice of cake for $10+ and receiving a portion size you are unhappy with because it's too big or too small, kürtösh let you pay for the slice size you want. That's right, tell them how big (or small) you want it and they'll weigh the slice & you pay for what you want. Brilliant! But that's not all, their signature kürtösh Hungarian baked pastry/roll/donut/heavenly creation is a must try! Never seen anything like it in Sydney & I tell ya, will be a hard one to beat if I do see anything close to it. Check out the photo for an example. The decor is excellent, staff are friendly & well trained. Baristas are brilliant. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Could definitely sit in here for a couple hours with great company. All in all, I love this place and so will you!

    Pro: 100g or the whole cake! U choose it your self! Very good service from knowledgable staffs (plus a smile) Comfortable seat n spaces Con: My baked cheese cake is very dry maybe it's the edge

    When we heard that there was a place that sells the Hungarian chimney-cakes, we HAD to check it out. We've only had this pastry once before and were hooked from the first bite, so our expectations were high (like a chimney...ha). We were not disappointed! Delicious pastries, cozy interior and friendly staff. I hope to return next time when I am in Sydney so I can try their mouth-watering cakes.

    I had never had chimney cake before, and now that I have I understand why my life had been so empty. The Nutella stuffed one is so rich and indulgent that you may want to share it with a friend. Or at least come prepared to feel stuffed after. The venue is stylish and cute with marble and wood everywhere.

    Lovely cosy place, I came after dinner so couldn't order an entire Kurtosh. Instead I had a cheesecake slice and an inhale/exhale tea. The cheesecake is light, not too sweet, not too rich yet so creamy and delicious. Loved it with the tea which had a citrus hint and lemony goodness. Staff were friendly and lovely too. Lotsa space in this cafe and the tables were not too close together so you can have your own private space. Perfect for an evening treat or any other day I'm sure :) all this for 8 bucks too. Will be back.

It comes served in these custom cups, they're kind of grainy and glazed and feel like they've been hewn out of very light sandstone by some unnamed master craftsman who will die a nobody but be recognised posthumously as one of the finest artisans of this or any age, Van Gogh style. The barista had the obligatory mustache but boy, did this dude know what service felt like. Polite, friendly, charming, without being overbearing. Win stars out of five. Top class, thank you and goodnight.

I've been meaning to write up a review for weeks, but struggled to choose what to write about. The menu is seasonal and changes weekly, some samples include finely cut wagyu, crusted in dukkah and served on sourdough, honey-glazed bacon with fresh avocado, and mushrooms with ricotta. Almost everything comes served with sprinklings of sprouts and greens grown on the windowsill. The menu is small but there's almost always something for everyone; however, those looking for your classic big breakfast should come prepared to settle for something a little different. The quality of coffee is not entirely consistent, but the molasses-infused sugar makes up for it. I could eat a jar of it by itself. There's also a range of sandwiches on offer. A friend recently brought home lamb-shoulder on sourdough that had me drooling. I need to be strong, three visits in one day is just too much.

And if I was going to personify this cafe, that's how it'd go. It's small and charmingly ramshackle and chilled out and social all at the same time, it's basically how I want my living room to be. The coffee is fantastic, as are the views across the new Central Park development, and weirdly the noise of the construction across the road doesn't seem to come inside. The small menu is on the spendier side, but it looked creative & wholesome. Bring a book or a notepad to write deep thoughts in.

Sebastian, the robust English chef, serves up traditional and delicious café cuisine for breakfast and lunch on weekdays and a beautiful roast for Sunday lunch. He's funny at best, though I might warn you not to sit too close to the kitchen unless you want to overhear a colorful monologue of cynicism and crude jokes. Some winning items on the menu include the "Big Salad" which changes daily and can include a delicious mixture of pumpkin, cous cous, eggplant, walnuts, raisins, and any other odds and ends the chef decides to add on the day. I recommend ordering it with poached chicken, which is as tender as can be. Another popular item is the BLT, served on Turkish bread. Careful though, it's big enough to feed your entire family of seven. If you can appreciate a good chip (or 2 dozen), Bar Mattino's are hand cut and fried to perfection. Lastly, I would highly and enthusiastically recommend the house made brownie, for which I solely blame the gain of 3 kilos. It's chocoloatey, and melty, and powered sugary and just ALL good.
