Gerbeaud Café

For more than 150 years Gerbeaud has defined what we know as a café and confectionery. Our fame is due in part to our creative confectioners who, in addition to guarding tradition, continually surprise our guests with new products, cakes, pastries.

The confectioners pass down their knowledge from one generation to the next; skillful hands guide the many apprentices who start their lives every year in this genuine confectionery workshop. Workshop. Perhaps that is the best term for Gerbeaud. A professional team where they value and evaluate each other’s work.

The crux of our philosophy is that we craft our products using only the highest quality, fresh ingredients. Our goal is to offer our guest, in addition to the traditional Hungarian products, unique, esthetic, cakes and pastries that can be found nowhere else in the country. Our task is to introduce new flavours and textures to those who are enthusiastic about gourmet foods, and to assist them in their discovery of good, quality products. We strive to resurrect flavours from the rich past of Hungarian confectionery, and to recreate them in forms appropriate to modern tastes and ingredients. This renovation does not mean breaking with the past – on the contrary, it is on the past that we build our future. Embracing new techniques, ingredients, tools, forms, equipment, and appliances, however, is indispensable.

With our desserts we want to pamper all the senses. For baked good, as with just about anything else, first impressions are the most important and for this reason we want to offer not just a culinary, but an esthetic experience as well. Besides the classic Dobos cake, Esterházy cake and Gerbeaud slice, Gerbeaud Café offers such culinary delights as the Orange-Caramel, Royal Chocolate, and the lightly Basil-Lemon. From classics that are forever capable of being transformed, we create exciting new products that are light and elegant, and which suit today’s tastes.
