Kürtősh - Surry Hills

We had a hard time deciding on the slab cakes but the friendly staff was helpful with his recommendations and we settled with the strawberry & pistachio sponge cake to enjoy with hot chocolate. It was an excellent pairing as the cake was not overly sweet and the sweetness from the hot chocolate complements the tartness and creaminess of the cake. Love the ambiance of the cafe. We will return to try other decadent desserts on display soon!

Kurtosh is a European bakery that makes all their pastry instore. Known especially for their Kurtosh/Kürtőskalács or “Chimney Cake”, it is a traditional Hungarian pastry that is made with tightly wrapped pastry coils that are doused in sugar, caramelised by baking to produce a crispy flaky exterior and soft interior. You can then have them topped with your choice of topping; cinnamon, chopped nuts like pistachios, chocolate or spices for added texture & flavour. The cinnamon one was my choice and it’s a like a donut in taste and I absolutely loved it. A decent size too, so you grab it to share.We also had a chocolate fudge cookie and mixed berry tart along with some of their popular slab cakes. These, you can order per 100g slices. There’s so many varieties and I opted for my long time favourite, the cinnamon and walnut cake, as well as a tiramisu and their lemon meringue pie. It’s a great way to sample many flavours by purchasing by the slice.Whilst you’re there, grab a coffee or chai, an iced tea or cold drink and relax in the comfortable and welcoming environment. Staff were friendly and eager to help.I’d been a regular at Randwick when I lived there but it’s great to see they’ve grown with more stores, such as Surry Hills, Wollongong, Darling Square, Crows Nest and more.

Who doesn't like cake?Spending the day in Sydney, we had to check out Kurtosh. I had no idea what was installed until I walked in the door.A cake feast for your eyes. Cakes on a large scale. The hardest part was deciding which one to try. A bonus is you can select the piece of cake size!

The only reason this place did not get 5 stars was the uncomfortable seating. I'm not a big fan of stools and my 92 year old mother really struggled. This said, the coffees and cake were delicious. I found it interesting that they cut the cake to the customer's requirements and charge accordingly

Best Mocha I've got in Surry Hills so far!And you've gotta love having cakes as small slice by weight as u like and try every flavour.Bread rolls are also freshly made on demand.. Known as the best fresh bread roll around.Their cakes are not out of the world... Its slightly above average but I give it 5 stars just because their svc and the experience was fantastic!

Kurtosh/chimney cakes are baked right before your eyes, customised while you wait and served warm. They are to die for. Alongside the chimney cakes, they also have a selection of pastries and indulgent cakes to choose from. Coffee is excellent. Definitely a-must visit!

We tried Kürtősh, known for its traditional Hungarian spiral Chimney Cakes. We opted for the nutella-filled kurtosh topped with pistachios. It was golden, crispy & flakey on the outside yet soft on the inside!They also offer a range of freshly baked pastries & cakes which are sold by the weight. The strawberry & pistachio sponge cake was creamy & light with just the right amount of sweetness.

FOOD/DRINKPastries are perfect. Texture and sweetness are just right. I tried the chocolate drink too and it was so good.SERVICEQuick service. Lovely staff.PLACEQuite a few available seats which is good. It looks like it's popular.
