László, the owner of this micro-bakery also oversees Anton, a lovely café near the National Museum on Bródy Sándor utca. In similar vein, Bageri also offers unforgettable freshly made baked goods, sourdough bread, hearty sandwiches, as well as sweet and savoury pastries.
Half of the 26-square-metre space is
occupied by a baking showroom separated with a glass wall, where Joe and
Marcell prepare tasty bread, baguettes and ten to 15 types of pastries from
dusk till dawn. They deliver some of these products to Anton, as well as a few
other newly opened specialty cafés and breakfast spots.
In addition to classic
cocoa and walnut swirls, cottage-cheese dumplings and croissants (450-480 HUF),
you’ll also find Sweden’s sweet, twisted speciality, kanelbulle, which comes in cardamom, vanilla, pistachio and fruit
versions (450-680 HUF).
Among the savoury puff pastries, the tomato-and-cheddar option stands out, but you’ll also find Serrano ham, jalapeño or pesto (580-680 HUF), while croissant sandwiches include gorgonzola, manchego, Serrano-manchego and Serrano-cheddar (880-980 HUF). Fruit ones come with passion fruit or vanilla fillings, a delight to watch being made as well as seeing them on your plate.
With the owner’s background in the specialty café business, it’s no wonder the coffee’s so good. His grinders go to work on well-selected beans by Casino Mocca, Danish La Cabra or London’s Dark Arts. Currently, Bageri is only able to offer items for takeaway, but two chairs set outside point to times when you’ll be able to sit outside with a delicious pastry and a fine cup of coffee.
