Editorial Review for Hungarian Pastry Shop – by Kevin McDonnell
In Short
A dozen or so wall lamps offer low reading light for students who come to this comfortable, old-style campus coffee shop. There can't be too many places left in New York that serve dobos torte--nine layers of yellow cake and chocolate buttercream standing tall on a plank of mahogany caramel--and rigo janci, a Hungarian-style chocolate mousse. But they're both here, along with hamantaschen, linzer torte, sacher torte and Black Forest cake.

My favorite thing about this place is that there is no music! Hurray! So you can sit (for as long as you can keep your mind off everyone else's conversations) and read unmolested by someone else's music. Even after I moved out of the area I always make the extra effort to stop by with a book or the paper. A plus is the coffee drinks and European pastries. (and I'm not even a student, a 30-year old mom in fact) G

I've been coming to the Hungarian Pastry Shop since 1969...and even though I don't live in NYC anymore, it is one of the first places I visit when I am back in my old stomping grounds! What a thrill to find that, over and over again...it has NOT CHANGED! Same wonderful croissants, same apricot jam in a little cup...same endless coffee. And if it's the afternoon, you might try the Rigo Jancsi, a wonderful pastry, very dark chocolate, very rich, or the Dobos Torte, a many layered, chocolate butter cream cake! Wish I still lived close by!
