Kürtősh - Crows Nest

The food is simply lovely. I have been returning and have even recommended friends to come. Tte cakes, pastries and drinks are just what is needed to either end a great day, or start a new one. The flavour, textures are just perfect. If I lived any nearer, I would be in kurtosh on a daily basis and on a VIP scheme, if there ever was one. What I have noticed is the lack of presence in the clearing of tables. It's as if t is nobody's responsibility. The chap who sent us a pastry did not collect the table tag - I thought it would be the logical thing to do. He also did not attempt to retrieve any plates for which he was putting cakes on - there must be enough plates! A llittle bit of DIY is required if you're coming here but it'll be limited to clearing your table and finding chairs for your party.

I come here like twice a week because of their matcha latte and kurtosh. The matcha is so good, not too sweet, and actually tastes like matcha. Their kurtosh is always fresh and warm, with the perfect crunch. It’s kinda addictive. I also tried some cakes and highly recommend tiramisu and chocolates cake. Staff are always nice and chill. The place feels cozy and there’s a big table where you can sit with friends or study for a bit. It just has a really comforting vibe. Honestly one of my fave spots around here.

The best desserts! The Lotus Biscoff tart and the pistachio cookie are simply amazing!

25/1/25 - 2.5 stars To say Crows Nest has limited dessert options would be an understatement, thus, we were essentially forced to try here. This branch of a pretty successful Hungarian dessert chain is definitely very popular and was quite crowded even in the late evening. Normally I'd take being crowded as a good sign, but, service and crowd management here is terrible. There is no clear signage on how to queue and, even after forming a line behind other patrons and waiting 30 minutes, the male staff member (there was only one) told us to go to the back of the line after making it to the front and skipped us to serve people behind. Workflow definitely needs to be better optimized as each customer takes at least 10 minutes to serve since every cake is served by weight so the servers have to guess how much to cut then weigh and adjust. Terribly inefficient. The chimney cakes are definitely the best option here as they are made to order, but, also can take quite a long time to be served (took another 30mins for us). Overall, the service and customer experience is bad. The cakes are expensive and not very good. The only saving grace is the chimney cakes which are actually quite nice and mostly worth the price. Chocolate babka: C, 5/10. Dry and chewy. Not enjoyable at all Biscoff cheesecake: B, 6/10. Topping was too much like whipped cream. Not enough substance Duo mousse: A, 7/10

Looking for a delicious and budget-friendly breakfast option? ☀️Kurtosh’s new brekkie menu has you covered! Their dishes are hearty and full of flavour without breaking the bank. 🤩 My top pick is the Smashed Avocado 🥑, served on a toasted bagel with creamy goat cheese, cherry🍅 , and a sprinkle of dukkha, it’s perfectly fresh and satisfying. 🍭For dessert (or breakfast dessert, why not?), you can’t go wrong with their Pistachio Kurtosh, generously topped with crunchy pistachios and loaded with rich, nutty flavour. 🌰 Stop by Kurtosh to kickstart your morning with good vibes and great food!

A long standing Hungarian pastry shop on the main street of Crows Nest. I have visited here multiple times and the service, food and cleanliness has always been consistent. there are a variety of sweets. I recommend the signature kurtosh. It freshly made with a slight wait time - but it's sweet and light. There's a warm and welcoming vibe inside with plenty of room to sit down and chill out - with both small and large tables. It does get pretty busy though - even on weeknights. If you are in the area, I recommend a visit! 😋👍
