Kürtősh Chatswood Chase

Kürtősh Chatswood Chase brings the bakery’s signature Hungarian pastry to Chatswood, Sydney, with a menu built around freshly baked Kürtősh, pastries, cakes and drinks. Kürtősh takes its name from kürtőskalács, traditionally known as chimney cake: a cylindrical yeast pastry with a caramelised, crisp outer layer and soft inner walls. It is made by coiling a thin ribbon of dough around a large rolling pin before baking it until golden, giving the preparation a distinctive, hands-on quality.

The venue’s pastry selection extends beyond its namesake. The website describes trays of freshly baked pastries and cakes sold by the slab, with cakes and slices priced by weight rather than as fixed portions. That format gives visitors room to choose according to appetite and makes it practical for anyone who wants to try a smaller piece or sample more than one style. It also suits a shared stop with friends or family, while the coffee and tea offering gives solo visitors a reason to settle in with something warm.

Drinks are treated as part of the house experience rather than an afterthought. Kürtősh works with a local roaster on its coffee blend, with the blends changing seasonally. Tea is sourced from The Tea Collective and includes options such as English Breakfast, Early Grey, Chai Tea, Blueberry Sencha, Jasmine, Ginger Zing and Pure Peppermint. Together with the freshly baked sweets, the drinks make the venue a natural choice for a relaxed catch-up, a casual dessert stop or a quiet break while exploring Chatswood Chase.

The broader Kürtősh House concept is centred on recreating the feeling of home: comfortable, cosy, relaxed, eclectic and welcoming. The website presents the house as a place where curiosity is part of the experience, particularly when visitors see the pastry being shaped and baked. Alongside in-store visits, the business offers order pick-up, delivery and catering, giving the bakery a role beyond an individual café visit. For those drawn to traditional baking, visible preparation and the freedom to choose cakes and slices by weight, Kürtősh Chatswood Chase offers a focused and distinctive bakery experience.
