Gifts, coffee, heritage sweets
At the Gyula Almásy Castle Visitor Center, a café pairs with a museum gift shop brimming with charming items, open 10 a.m.–6 p.m., closed Mondays. Don’t miss the Százéves Cukrászda (One Hundred Years Old Confectionery), operating since 1840 and Hungary’s second-oldest confectionery. In its splendid Empire-style building, painted walls and original Biedermeier furniture revive the lively café culture of old, with traditional cakes, parfaits, candies, and ice creams. Restored between 1984 and 1986 to recapture Reform Era atmosphere, the former pastry workshop now houses a confectionery museum with period tools. A major 2004 renovation polished this Southern Great Plain gem to keep delivering a uniquely memorable experience.
