About Kürtősh - Darling Quarter

Steaming chimney cakes and slab cakes sold strictly by weight make this Darling Quarter bakery an essential sweet stop. The main draw is the kürtőskalács—spit-roasted Hungarian pastry spun fresh with a caramelized crust and a warm, pillowy crumb inside. Regulars line up for Nutella-filled cylinders, Biscoff swirls, or decadent Dubai chocolate cookies. Display cases hold massive slab cakes priced per 100 grams, letting you cut modest samples of strawberry pistachio sponge alongside velvety tiramisu without committing to one slice. Pull up a chair on the spacious outdoor terrace with an iced strawberry matcha, or drop by after 5 PM when all pastries go half-price.

  • Fresh Kürtőskalács: Spun and baked fresh to order with caramelized crusts and fillings like Nutella, Biscoff, or pistachio.
  • Cakes Sliced by Weight: Slab cakes—including tiramisu and strawberry pistachio—cut to order per 100 grams so you can sample multiples.
  • Half-Price After 5 PM: All pastries drop to half price daily after 5:00 PM for late-afternoon bakery runs.
  • Spacious Terrace Seating: Ample indoor and heated outdoor terrace seating right off Harbour Street.

    Guests can explore creative and nostalgic dessert offerings including Nutella, Biscoff, and warm melted chocolate cookies.

    This time we ordered the Nutella one (perfect for my daughter), and they warmed it up so the Nutella was all melted and gooey.

  • Strawberry and Pistachio Cake

    the strawberry and pistachio is well balanced between both flavors and isn’t overly sweet. i like the pistachio pieces on the top to give it a little crunch.

  • Tiramisu

    Their signature chimney cakes and Tiramisu are an absolute must-try – crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness.

  • Pistachio Halva Cake

    Pistachio Halva Cake: The rich, nutty taste of pistachios infuses every bite, complemented by the sweetness of the creamy halva. The cake itself is moist and tender, with a delicate crumb that melts in your mouth.

  • Strawberry Matcha

    I had a strawberry matcha which wasn’t too sweet, so it paired perfectly with the desserts. Real fresh strawberries too, which I loved.
