Kürtősh - West End

Kürtősh - West End brings a traditional Hungarian pastry into a relaxed Brisbane setting. Its signature Kürtősh, also known as chimney cake, is a cylindrical yeast pastry with a caramelised, crisp outer layer and soft inner walls. The dough is coiled around a rolling pin before baking, making the preparation part of the experience as well as the finished pastry.

The house also serves freshly baked pastries and cakes by the slab, with cakes and slices sold by weight. That format suits visitors who want to try a small piece or mix and match several sweet options, rather than committing to a whole serve. There is also coffee made with a blend developed alongside a local roaster, with the blends changing seasonally, plus teas from The Tea Collective. Options listed on the site include English Breakfast, Early Grey, Chai Tea, Blueberry Sencha, Jasmine, Ginger Zing and Pure Peppermint.

The venue’s character is shaped around the feeling of home: comfortable, cosy, relaxed, eclectic and welcoming. It is a natural fit for a coffee and pastry stop, a sweet treat with friends, or anyone curious to watch the Kürtősh-making process. For West End visitors who enjoy freshly baked pastries, cakes by weight and a little variety, the combination of Hungarian baking tradition and an unhurried house atmosphere gives the venue a clear point of difference.
