Two Hungarian confectioneries in world TOP 40

Change language:
TasteAtlas, a gastro website, compiled the world’s top 150 dessert places. Two Hungarian confectioneries emerged in the TOP 40. Have you ever been to any of them?
According to mosthir.hu, the latest TasteAtlas list includes the 150 best confectioneries of the world and their desserts. Both Hungarian pastry shops in the World Elite are in Budapest, so you can try their delicacies if you travel to the Hungarian capital.
New York Café occupied the 32nd place, while Daubner – founded in Orosháza – conquered the 14th place. In the case of Daubner, TasteAtlas recommends Dobos torta (Dobos Cake). In Budapest’s iconic New York Café, they believe the best choice is the New York chocolate cake.
Best Hungarian confectioneries
About the Daubner Cukrászda, founded in 1901, they write that it has a vast selection of cakes, pastries and sweets. It is one of the city’s finest confectioneries, “attracting both locals and tourists alike”.
Dobos torta is their signature dessert, TasteAtlas wrote. “Dobos torta is a multi-layered Hungarian cake named after its inventor, József Dobos, and is composed of thin sponge cake layers, chocolate buttercream, and topped with a crisp caramel glaze. The version served at Daubner Cukrászda has earned high praise for its perfect balance of flavours and textures, faithfully following the traditional recipe”, they added.
Daubner Confectionery is also one of the best ice cream spots in the capital. Check out our related article HERE. Do you want to read more about Hungary’s famous Dobos Cake? Click HERE.

New York Cafe is terrible. It’s for the Chinese tourists. Nothing is made fresh in-house. Each morning you can see the delivery trucks bring the desserts and other food from a central kitchen somewhere in Budapest. So many better, fresher place in the city.
The attached hotel has deteriorated as well. We used to use it for all our tourist groups but no longer.
