Twisted Sweets and Savory had been on my radar for quite some time. Yet, it took us quite a while to give it a try. In part, that was us not quite able to figure out exactly where it was. Grant Street, it turns out, is disjointed. In other words, it's not like it's just a straight shot from one end to the other. We stopped in here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. The place closes at 6 p.m., and are closed on Sunday. At that time of day, they weren't at all busy. The young man at the counter took our orders, and someone working in the back made the sandwiches. We just ordered savory items, so we can't speak to how the sweet items are (although some of them sounded so good). I ordered the salmon sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with dill cream cheese, filled with smoked Atlantic salmon, spring mix, cucumber, and red onion." The bread choices are everything bagel, jalapeno, and cheesy. I chose the everything bagel and asked for no onion. I found this sandwich to be tasty, but I thought they could have gone lighter with the dill cream cheese. The bread had a nice crispness. My husband ordered the ham and Swiss sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with paprika mayo and filled with black forest ham, Swiss cheese, fresh romaine hearts, spring mix, sweet pepper, tomato, cucumber, and red onion". He wasn't happy with the paprika mayo, as he says mustard would have worked better. Nor did he care for the sweet peppers. Now he knows not to order the default setting for this sandwich but instead to customize the toppings. They work with DoorDash, which, when ordering online, gives the option to customize one's order. There are high tables, the type that are found in bars, for those who want to eat their sandwiches there. The place is kept very clean. read more

I've been wanting to come to this bakery for a long time. I finally made it, the restaurant bakery is very clean and modern. They were very helpful and gave me recommendations.

After hearing the whispers that Twisted Sweets & Savory was churning out the best sandwiches in Norther Virginia over the past few years, I was finally able to stop by and see for myself it the rumors were true. And let me tell you .. I may have been put into a straight food coma but this place is legit! The smell of freshly baked chimney bread hits you as soon as you walk in and it comes in tons of different flavors like cheesy, everything bagel, cinnamon, oreos, and tons more. I tried their sandwich of the week which was a meatball sub on an everything bagel chimney and found it to be super tasty! My daughter's were more about the sweet chimneys and my goodness, those babies are HUGE! Even split three ways, we still had to throw away a good portion of our delicious dessert (we did make your own with an oreo chimney, vanilla soft serve, and rainbow sprinkles). Service was really nice and got us extra napkins, to go containers, and even split our ice cream into different cups for us. Truly a local gem! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a couple months and finally had a chance to try this Hungarian chimney in Herndon! I came a little after opening time on a Saturday morning. They were surprisingly not set up, with the chimneys not in the display. If I were able to see the chimneys in the display, I probably would have created my own. I ended up just ordering something off the menu since I didn't get a chance to see the options up front/in person. I selected the Pistachella. It didn't taste/feel like it was freshly made (considering I've had freshly made ones in TX). However, the flavors were great, with the combination of nutella and shredded pistachios. I'm curious to try the savory chimney, and create my own sweet one. Customer service was okay, enough to be able to place the order. There was parking in front of the establishment. Would I return? definitely if I'm in the area. read more

If you like a simple sandwich with all the flavor and layers of textures, you NEED to go to Twisted Sweets and Savory. When you enter, you are greeted by the sweet bakery aromas from their sweet chimneys. There is an extensive menu for classic sandwiches and you chose what flavor chimney you'd like it pair it with. The chimney style bread solves the bread:filling ratio dilemma presented by the average sandwich. I ordered the turkey, caprese, smoked salmon and buffalo chicken. All were absolute hits. You will also enjoy this place! read more

An absolute gem : the price and taste of the chimney sandwiches and the speed of service. There were 4 flavors of chimney bread for sandwiches: cheese, everything bagel, jalapeño cheese, and walnut. The everything bagel was nice and salty. There is a vegetarian sandwich that is terrific. The prices are NORMAL. There are tables and chairs inside, but is like a deli. Can dine in or take out. read more

This is a very interesting restaurant in a shopping center in Herndon. The food is excellent. The chimney sandwiches were very unique and crunchy/spongey.

I would highly recommend checking this place out. read more

These are so soft, flavorful and addicting! Absolutely a must try and worth the consistent 5 star rating! We tried the coconut stuffed with Nutella and I can't wait to try other flavors. You can choose between Nutella, dolce de leche and cream cheese frostings to stuff inside a variety of flaky pastries. Specifically, I really want to try the pastry stuffed with ice cream. They called us a sweet chimney and you can fill it with your choice of Nutella, dolce de Leche, or marshmallow fluff, and then pick your ice cream flavor. There are about five different ice cream flavors and then you can even add toppings! Service was helpful. Located in a spacious 10-table spot in a strip mall, this unassuming bakery is a great find. read more

Twisted Sweets and Savory is an authentic Hungarian gem! Having visited family in Hungary, I always enjoyed kürtőskalács (chimney cakes) and would get cravings for it. The owner, Julianna, has not only perfected this delicious treat but has also put her own *twist* on it by making savory options for sandwiches. Which I now also get cravings for!!! 10/10 I recommend this place, so glad it's right here in Herndon. read more

This restaurant/take out is a gem. I've mostly done take out but ate there once. FYI, very small restaurant seating if you plan to dine-in during rush hours. Now on to their sandwiches. Very unique as they are called chimney sandwich. Basically hollow bread with yummy fillings in the middle. We tried Chicken salad(my favorite with fresh crisp veggies included), Tuna, limited time Reuben. Also tried the sweet Cannoli sandwich. For me the issue is once I like a sandwich, it becomes hard for me to try others. Wish I can get half and half... I know I can at least split a sweet chimney with my family so looking forward to trying other sweet chimneys. Almost forgot my other favorite item from this place. I love their pickles that come with the sandwich. read more

It's right off the W&OD Trail in Herndon. You can't see it from the Trail but it's literally one minute from the W&OD. When I'm on a bike trip I get my sandwich to go and eat it on the downtown Herndon plaza that's a few minutes west (by bike). This is an authentic Hungarian style of bread. I love their sandwiches, and sometimes get an extra bread to take home. read more

I stopped by as I was driving past because I was interested in seeing what they had but it turned out they were closing just as I walked in.. The young man was so nice and helpful and he apologized and gave me a free sample of a cinnamon twist thing and I left so happy. I'm definitely coming back just because of this nice gesture. This is what sets apart a memorable experience from any other. read more

Went in for lunch around 11:30, but the restaurant got busy quick. We ordered the salmon and Italian sandwiches with everything bread. The bread was delicious and had a wonderful crispy texture, but very soft on the inside. Even though the chimneys didn't look big, they load up the sandwiches inside. They were delicious! We also had a pistachio Nutella chimney for desert and it was out of this world. The service was very quick and very friendly. Inside the restaurant was spotless. Must stop if in the area for lunch, highly recommend for a lunch stop or desert. read more

OMG, I am always craving this delightful Hungarian chimney sandwich. From the fresh baked chimney to the fresh ingredients inside, it all just melts in your mouth. You can choose from a sweet or savory chimney. My favorite is the Hungarian sandwich. It's the perfect amount of spread, meats, cheese and veggies and the chimney is soft and chewy with each bite. I just wish they were located a bit closer to me so I could go more often! read more

A 5 stars for service, food-quality, uniqueness, and price. This is the kind of small business we need more of. The owners here are friendly and genuinely care about their customers, not to mention care deeply about the quality of food/options. They make it themselves! I've come here three times, twice for the sweets (ice cream chimney s'more which was amazing and the Oreo chimney), and once for their vegetarian sandwiches; both were high quality, flavorful, and delicious. The ambiance/space - although limited in seating - was cute, too. I can see this place grow into bigger Hungarian café serving more even options. Great job! read more

I was really impressed with the sandwiches we got from here! We tried the turkey sandwich, Hungarian sandwich, and ham and swiss sandwich. The sandwiches were all packed full of toppings and fillings that were really fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the turkey sandwich- I would probably ask for a bit less red onion next time, though, or no red onion because it was a pretty powerful flavor. We liked the variety of breads, too, which were so fresh and very flavorful (we tried the cheesy and the everything bagel and liked both). Do not skip the desserts- the cinnamon bread filled with cannoli cream was one of the most delicious and unique things we've had in a while. It's a little hard to eat but that's part of the fun of it :) This was a fun and unique lunch option- definitely recommend! read more

We ordered lunch here recently. Those rolls are so soft that I would buy just the bread! I enjoyed the cheese twist a lot, and I was very happy with the amount of bread since I'm normally picking off excess bread so as to get more filling in each bite. The Hungarian was everything that I had hoped for for lunch. It was filled with meat, cheese, and veggies with the perfect roll delivery device. The dessert, however, was a bit too much. My husband disliked the S'mores, stating that the jimmies weren't the chocolate that was needed. Also, the cinnamon sugar wasn't classic. Most s'more connoisseurs will agree that a regular graham cracker is the way to go. I thought he was being overly critical at first. Then I tried it, and greatly disliked it as well. The cannoli one was delicious, but missing a lot of that delicious cannoli cream! I wished there was more than a thin spread. So, I may return for another sandwich and bring some of that savory bread home with me! read more

Hungarian Chimney Cakes? I'm there! Also known as Kürtőskalács. This was my first time trying one and I was so excited to visit! Upon entering, the owners were so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. They offer Sweet Chimneys and Chimney Sandwiches. Sweet Chimney flavors include: Classic, Cinnamon Sugar, Cocoa, Oreo, Coconut, and Walnut. Ice Cream flavors include: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Twist. You can also add a spread and toppings. Chimney Sandwiches include: Hungarian, Chicken Salad, Turkey, Ham & Swiss, Roast Beef, Veggie, and Caprese. Tried their Cinnamon Sugar and Oreo sweet chimneys and they were delicious! Super fresh, lightly crisp and toasty on the outside, warm and soft within. Flavors were all there. What a lovely sweet treat! The owners are so nice. We had a lovely conversation with them and it made our experience that much more memorable. I'm so glad Twisted Sweets and Savory is here! A must try indeed. read more

To Hungarians it's known as Kürtőskalács. To me I first heard about this at work when a colleague was raving about Chimney sandwiches in Herndon. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about but she told me I had to go and try them immediately. So I did. Originally a food truck, Twisted Sweets & Savory has not taken up shop on a small side street of off Herndon's main Elden St. drag. When I walked in the tiny storefront had enough room for a small counter and a couple of tables. On the counter there they were: thin cylinders of bread, created with a spit to achieve their chimney-like moniker. I later read up that in Europe it's usually a sweet dessert item, but Twisted had both sweet varieties (Oreo, Cinnamon Sugar) as well as savory ones (Cheese, Everything Bagel, Jalapeño.) The large empty space inside these breads make it a perfect container for sandwiches. I got an Italian which came filled with Genoa Salami, ham, pepperoni, and provolone cheese. It was a fantastic sandwich, the bread was thing yet fluffy with a croissant-like texture. I wish I could have one every day of the week. I later found out my colleague that recommended Twisted had already had it four weeks in a row! Twisted is such a new and unique addition to the area- I don't think I've ever been so enthusiastic to recommend this to anyone that can make it up to Herndon. It is worth any drive to try a Chimney from Twisted! read more

Got chicken salad on a jalapeño cheese chimney. SO GOOD. Their veggies on the sandwich are so fresh and crisp. I got a cinnamon sugar chimney to go to eat later and these are the perfect treat for a sweet craving. Staff is pleasant! I was able to sample the chicken salad and one taste and I was sold. Might even be better than mine. Dining area is casual and clean. Mostly high top tables but a few regular ones. Don't miss this place if you're in Herndon! read more

The space is pretty big which i didnt expect. They have an area to sit and eat. I got the chicken salad sandwhich w cheese bread and WOW. SOOOO good. And its pretty big sandwhich too. They pack alot of fresh veggies in and the two small pickles on the side 10/10. The service was quick! read more

Delicious! My husband and I split the salmon chimney sandwich and it was fabulous. The fresh dill cream cheese and generous portion of smoked salmon set it apart from other sandwiches I've had. Also really appreciated the cucumber slices inside and the lemon wedge for squeezing on top. We also got a cinnamon sugar chimney cake that was very tasty. Next time I think would ask them if they could warm it up a little though. read more

Great place, great concept, and tasty chimney cake! The kind lady at the counter was very welcoming and sweet. This is a brand new business with a European dessert concept. The place is small and cute on the inside. The kitchen is chock full of chimney cake baking machines and you know they mean business. I was told they have a Oreo and cannoli special and I was happy to give it a whirl. It was a great combo of flavors that complimented the chimney cake very well. I can't wait to come back on a warm summer day when they are bustling and have the ice cream machine up and running. I wish these guys much success and prosperity in 2023. read more

Another Stargate! Lol ! This time, it is a one that quickly takes you to Hungary for a quick lunch and dessert trip! ;) Amazing and brilliant idea by a creative owner! I took the Hungarian on Jalapeño chimney, only removed the cucumber, and I was transferred to Budapest from Herndon VA in 3 seconds ( the time it took me to eat my first bite!) You have choices for Chimney sandwiches between Cheesey , Jalapeño and everything ( like the everything toppings on Bagel) . I have to say those Chimneys are unique! Some people think of them as a twist on Bagels, but that's not fair ( they are just Bagel lovers, and they compare everything to Bagel! Instead of saying fantastic day, they will say Bagel day! Anyway, back to our review!) - those chimney sandwiches are better than anything else you have put your sandwiche's ingredients in! Choices for toppings or ingredients are variable and nice! You can remove anything you don't want when you order online or at the store! The paprika mayo , the fresh onions , the sweet pepper, tomato ,and the lettuce will first hit you ... mmmm, then you get to the meat and cheese or vice versa, but this is exactly what will happen! Really tasty! Really nice! Really fresh and really unique! Now to the sweet ones! Oh, that's a dangerous topic! I really don't and am not supposed to eat sugar, but I fell off the wagon here! J, I know you're reading and laughing very hard! You have an ice cream menu and a sweet chimney menu - the ice cream menu : Multiple choices of chimneys, spreads, and ice cream flavors!! Plus toppings Or you can go sweet chimney: Your choice of chimney and add a spread! You can feel the family ambiance! This is a true family business! The store was very clean and nice! Please tip if you're eating in because a nice family member will get your food to the table! I really loved the wallpaper from Hungary and wish to see more of it on the other parts of the wall or more of the Hungarian culture there! Thanks to this amazing family for a wonderful and unique short trip from Herndon VA to Budapest, Hungary! I'm looking for more Savory varieties ;) Prices are ok for today's economy ! $11 for the Hungarian $6.50 for the ice cream one with a Nutella spread. It's totally worth it, but don't increase it more than that, lol! Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;) read more

This was my first visit and it was a nice experience to feel like I was back in Hungary. Herndon now has a great new bakery that is producing Hungarian chimney rolls which are just like the ones we ate in Hungary. We tried the cinnamon and walnut rolls. As each chimney is custom made, it was interesting to watch the process unfold right in front of me. Both were great. It is best to eat them when they are warm; but, then the cinnamon one barely made it home for my wife to try. Once they are cold, they still taste great but are more of a challenge to chew (for old guys with dentures!) This business is in a small shop on a side street. With only three high tables, these chimneys are designed for take out. I will be back! read more

Good food! This is located next to my dog groomer, and I see them every time I take the dogs for some form of grooming. Leaving today, I decided to try a chimney cake because they look so good in the picture on the window. They look good with ice cream, and when I ordered one, that's what I thought I was getting. So when they wrapped it up and didn't put ice cream in it, I asked, and they said that was something else. I was shocked since it all looked like one thing in the picture on the window. But it isn't. I was told they cut the chimney cake in half and put ice cream in it. The Chimney cake is a Hungarian pastry, and actually, it is pretty delicious. I got the one that had a candy cane around it and demolished it in a short period of time. I will go back the next time and try it with ice cream. I will take more pictures and maybe try one of their sandwiches. Not the friendliest guy taking my order, but the lady who came to explain why it didn't come with ice cream was super friendly and gave an easy-to-understand explanation. I'll be back, considering I bring my dogs over at least twice a month! I recommend giving them a try, especially their unique chimney cake pastries! read more

Quick bite while getting my CROWN adjusted So I've been wanting to try this Hungarian deli out I notice it's got a steady flow of customers...which is always a good sign So they offer at least 6 different breads (advertised as Chimney style) They vary in taste (Everything Bagel, Jalapeño pepper & cheese, Cinnamon sugar...you get the idea) They offer breakfast and lunch sandwiches... note you can buy the bread also ala carte . You're greeted by a really nice man The menu is straight to the point ... you can request slight alterations to your sandwich (cheese/no pickles) There's an area where you can sit inside and eat also I ordered the Cheese Jalapeño Chinary bread with the Turkey and Swiss The bread was awesome and actually sweet Sandwich had fresh peppers, red onion, cucumber and nice leafy green lettuce I definitely will be back... it was a good spend (13.00) with a bag of chips Try them out if your in the Herndon area read more

This place consistently has great food and desserts. It's a cute little place mostly meant for takeout - only 2 tables with 2 chairs each, all high tops. My favorite is the Hungarian on their delicious jalapeño and cheese bread; it has a kick without being too spicy. They have canned pops/sodas (no fountain) and waters, and a small selection of single-serving bags of chips. Their desert chimneys are decadent; dusted with cinnamon sugar or crushed Oreos and the inside is coated with the filling of your choice. I got the cookies and cream one once and it lasted me for like 3 days in the fridge because it's so filling (it's also really satisfying to unwind the chimney and eat it like a fruit rollup lol). 5 stars, a consistent favorite of mine. read more
