Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our chimney cakes

What is a chimney cake (Kürtőskalács)?

Chimney cake is a traditional Hungarian pastry made from sweet, yeast dough wrapped around a wooden cylinder and grilled over open flame. The result is a crispy, caramelized exterior with a soft, fluffy interior—warm, aromatic, and absolutely irresistible.

Are your chimney cakes made fresh?

Absolutely! Every chimney cake is made to order using dough prepared fresh daily. We never use frozen or pre-made dough. When you order, we hand-roll your chimney and grill it fresh—so it arrives hot, crispy, and perfect every time.

How long does it take to prepare my order?

Most orders are ready in 15-20 minutes. Since each chimney is made fresh to order, we recommend ordering ahead online for faster pickup. You'll receive a notification when your order is ready!

Do you offer vegan or gluten-free options?

We're working on expanding our menu to include vegan and gluten-free options. Currently, our traditional chimney cakes contain dairy, eggs, and gluten. Please contact us if you have specific dietary needs—we're always happy to help!

Can I customize my chimney cake?

Yes! Choose from our signature sweet or savory options, or build your own with custom toppings and fillings. From classic cinnamon sugar to indulgent Nutella and pistachio, the possibilities are endless. Just let us know your preferences when ordering.
