Kürtőskalács (chimney cake) is a traditional Hungarian/Transylvanian dessert, made by turning the dough over glowing embers. It is baked on wooden cylinders above the coals, resulting in a cake that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, covered with a variety of toppings (walnut, chocolate, cinnamon, coconut, etc.).

At Saitos we keep 100% to the traditional recipe and bake every kürtős fresh right in front of you, in the authentic style, over glowing embers.

We offer 9+ delicious flavors:

CLASSIC (5 flavors):

• 🍦 Vanilla - traditional, with real vanilla
• 🌰 Walnut - with freshly ground walnuts
• 🥥 Coconut - with natural coconut flakes
• 🌶️ Cinnamon - with premium Ceylon cinnamon
• 🍫 Nesquick - the kids' favorite

PREMIUM (4 flavors):

• 🍫 Callebaut Belgian Chocolate
• 🍓 Natural Freeze-Dried Raspberry
• 🍬 Colorful Candy
• 🎨 Assorted Mix

All of them are made fresh daily with premium ingredients!

We do not offer gluten-free options, but we do have vegan products. Traditional kürtőskalács is made with wheat flour, which contains gluten.

Our vegan products (without egg, milk or butter):

CLASSIC (4 flavors):

• 🍦 Vanilla - traditional, with real vanilla
• 🌰 Walnut - with freshly ground walnuts
• 🥥 Coconut - with natural coconut flakes
• 🌶️ Cinnamon - with premium Ceylon cinnamon

🚫 Nesquick is not vegan – Nesquick powder contains milk. It is, however, suitable for vegetarians.

PREMIUM (1 flavor):

• 🍓 Natural Freeze-Dried Raspberry

If there is enough demand, we will consider adding alternative options in the future. Your suggestions are welcome!

YES, they contain the following allergens:

• 🌾 Gluten (wheat) - in all products
• 🥛 Milk - in certain products
• 🌰 Nuts/Tree nuts - in the walnut flavors and some premium ones

WARNING: All products are prepared in the same kitchen, so there is a risk of cross-contamination. If you have severe allergies, please consult us before ordering.

Every kürtőskalács is baked fresh and takes approximately 3-5 minutes from order to serving. The process includes:

• Shaping the dough on the cylinder - 1 min
• Baking over the embers (constant rotation) - 3-4 min
• Applying the chosen topping - 1 min

It's worth the wait! You'll get a kürtős warm, fresh and perfectly caramelized. 🔥

Kürtőskalács is best enjoyed fresh, on the same day it is baked. We recommend eating it within a maximum of 24 hours for the best taste and texture.

Storage tips:

• Keep it at room temperature in a dry place
• Do NOT refrigerate - it goes hard
• If you want to reheat it, put it in the oven at 150°C for 2-3 minutes

Yes! You can choose from the 9+ flavors available. For large orders (catering, events) we can also prepare custom combinations.
