Sommer Cukrászda (Szív utca)

Sommer is far from the fancy-pants pastry shops of Budapest instead being a beloved neighborhood favorite in District 6. They serve an unusually wide range of dependable classic Hungarian and Jewish-Hungarian pastries, including a Dobos and Esterházy torte, flódni, and Rákóczi túrós (apricot jam and meringue-topped sweet cottage cheese slice). The specialty of the house is the sávjci kifli, a sweet pastry filled with chestnut paste and cherry pieces. Yes, please.

Also here: strudels, pogácsa, and sajtos roló, the latter a tube-shaped baked pastry layered with cream cheese. If you go in the winter, try the bejgli, a Christmas roll laced with ground poppy seeds and ground walnuts. Wallet-friendly prices, a true-to-Budapest establishment!
