MICHELIN Guide Budapest : from breakfast to dinner, the perfect gourmet day
"An intimate, Biedermeier-style tiny tearoom in the historic castle district, it offers fabulous cakes displayed on an ancient cherrywood counter." - Le Guide MICHELIN
We had a tour and talked to owner. What an amazing story behind their purchase and getting into the business. Lovely people and wonderful products. Not a dining experience. A candy, confectionery business.

Good coffee and cream cake. The reason I gave it 1 star is because the service was bad. This cafe is known for its cream cake. Upon arrival I ordered 4 coffees and 4 cream cakes. We then got 4 coffees promptly and then just got 1 cream cake. I asked where the other 3 were and the server said they were sold out. Why couldn't he tell me this earlier? Secondly, this cafe is famous for cream cake, how could they sell out of such an iconic item

Historic and popular café near Buda Castle, but a bit overrated. We waited in a long queue for an outdoor table. Tried three recommended pastries—none were particularly impressive. Staff wasn’t friendly. Not accessible for wheelchairs—there are 3–4 steps at the entrance.

If you’re a fan of desserts and tasty pastries, you must try their pastries. You will not be disappointed. I bake a lot and what I tried was heavenly. Congrats for making cakes and baked goodies for almost 200 years.
Food: 5+/5 - we had the crème cake, caramel cake and Eszterhazy torta! My favorite was the Ruszwurm cake. They even have cookies and gluten free options. Try their assorted drinks and ice creams. I had the sour cherry lemonade which was full of fruity taste. They also offer takeout if you choose not to wait.
Service: 5/5 the servers outside did a wonderful job with the crowd control as the odd person tried sneaking in. The lineups can get crazy and hectic.
Atmosphere: 4/5 - there was outdoor and inside seating.

We stopped at Ruszwurm Confectionery for afternoon tea after visiting the cathedral and Fisherman’s Bastion. The setting was elegant, though the tables were small and low. The cakes were good but overpriced and not exceptional. Service was adequate but unenthusiastic. Overall, a decent experience, though not quite memorable.

Coffee shop with a lot of history. Great coffee and very nice cakes, the Ruszwurm custard cake was delicious.
Avoid the lemonade; many people left it unfinished.
Unfortunately, it's a popular tourist spot, so the shop is always very busy, and the service was very poor.

I love this old confectionary shop, apparently the oldest in Hungary. These days is very popular with tourists. They are very famous for the cream cake although they have a wide selection of cakes. If is very busy you can order for take away.

The cake was highly popular. I guess we are not for it as it had lots of cream but it is a cream cake so it’s only natural. It tasted good though. We just wanted to try this cafe as it has a long history. If you sit indoors, it is warm though so maybe sitting outdoors would be much better😀
