Chimney cakes, also known as Kürtőskalács, are popular Hungarian street desserts best known for their crispy outer surface and soft inner filling. The process to make them involves spinning a strip of sweet dough around a cone-shaped baking spit, rolling it in sugar, and baking it until golden brown. Sweets and other toppings can then be stuck to the tacky layer of caramelized sugar as needed. The desserts are called ‘chimney cakes’ because the steam that escapes the top of the pastry as it cools looks just like a smoking chimney.

During my visit, one thing that instantly impressed me was the menu. Aside from the 13 signature cones that this location offers, you also have the option to order just a flavored chimney cake without all the fixings or build your own custom cone from a list of cake flavors, ice cream filling, and toppings. Not ready to dive into a chimney cake just yet? Try one of the hand-spun milkshakes in several flavors including ‘Strawberry & Oreo Delight’ and ‘Bananatella’.

I opted for the ‘Everyday Birthday Cake’ which was flawless in presentation. This delicious and colorful dessert was made with organic strawberry ice cream inside a fruity pebbles chimney cone, confetti sprinkles, strawberry sauce, and mini cupcake topped with a real candle!

“We’re hoping to serve coffee, cappuccino, and lattes in the fall with the hot O.G. Chimney cake,” said owner Ali Abdallah. “For the holidays there will be special flavors like pitch-black ice cream for Halloween, possible themes that include reindeer or Santa Clause for Christmas, and rabbits around Easter time.”
