Gerbeaud Confectionery

The Legend of Gerbeaud café began in 1858 with Henrik Kugler, when he opened his first café on what is now József nádor. Because of  the high quality service,  rich the assortment of cakes and specialities and "the best ice-creams in Pest," it soon became a well-known meeting place. For the first time in the history of the towns coffee-shops, here people could have their ice-cream while sitting at the tables set on the sidewalk!

In 1870, Henrik Kugler moved his business to Vörösmarty Square, where he could offer his delicacies in the centre of the city. Kugler’s frothy coffee with chocolate, special liqueurs and his bon-bons drew crowds. The Kugler tortes and mignons were not only well-loved, but, another innovation was, they could be wrapped on a paper tray to take-away. Henrik Kugler met Emil Gerbeaud for the first time in 1882, in Paris. He invited him a year later to Budapest in order to make him his business partner.

After Kugler’s death, Gerbeaud continued the tradition. The secret success of this confectionery is in a continuous innovations of the repertoire of the offer  Keeping the proved level of quality of the classic tarts, the specialist permanently work on innovations and surprises. This is the most important key of the world fame Gerbeaud café has. The crux of their philosophy is that they craft the products using only the highest quality, fresh ingredients. The main goal is to offer, in addition to the traditional Hungarian products, unique, esthetic cakes and pastries. This renovation does not mean breaking with the past—on the contrary, it is on the past that builds the future. Embracing new techniques, ingredients, tools, forms, equipment, and appliances, however, is indispensable. 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.

Their moto is: „We dare to dream sweet dreams!”
