Super fun idea with different options for toppings, sauces & ice cream to pair with the pastry. Expect about a ten minute wait if you did not place an order online beforehand. I got a nesquik one that was quite good but I definitely would want to come back to try different options.
I came back two other times & honestly these desserts are so good & fun to eat. I prefer the nutella on the inside rather than the nesquik. & definitely the ones with fruit & ice cream are the best. Such a good treat!

Loved the chimney cakes, had the pistachio cake with pistachio spread as well as the hazelnut & Nutella one, both delicious, well worth the detour & wait time for a hot & fresh pastry.😋

I heard the wonderful stories of this place & decided to check it out. I ordered the nutella cone. It tasted pretty good. Cut to a month later, i return & re-order the nutella cone. This time it tasted different. I brush it off. Next day i pass by the store during closing hours. I see an employee pooing in some cones through the windows. Overall not a bad experience.

This reminds me so much if my childhood! It is delicious, & just the smell of freshly baked brioche reminds me of the romanian sunday markets. I send a photo of the Nutella filled Kurtoskallach to my mom & she was surprised I found this in Montreal. What a treat!

It was fresh. I ordered the Nutella Pastrie with bananas, strawberries, vanilla ice cream & syrup on top. The pastrie was cinnamon flavor. Looking forward to going back.

I tried chimney cake before in Prague & Budapest but the OI version is extremely tasty & different. not traditional at all, combining berries ice cream with the classical cone. Also a different flavor for nutella fans. Give it a try if you're a fan of a chimney cake twist.

Aujourd'hui j'ai essayé pour la première fois cette pâtisserie hongroise. J'ai été surpris par le goût & la qualité. Le personnel était très accueillant. Il nous a présenté rapidement les origines du Kurtoskalacs, puis nous a recommandé les saveurs (Coco Nutella) & pistache. Rien à dire, fantastique sinon ! Autre chose, les prix sont excellents considérant la quantité. Cette boulangerie-pâtisserie est un must !

Definitely need to try this place people. Honeslty super different dessert then usually places. It's Hungarian transylvania pastry. Almost like a cinnamon dessert. & it's amazing because it's like a spiral & you can rip off the pieces & eat. & you can get like what I got which was the classic with ice cream & Nutella & you can add fruits in it.

I discovered chimney cakes at Christmas markets in Europe, & once I found out there was a shop featuring them in Montreal, I couldn't wait to go. My husband & I went twice while visiting the city, & it was amazing & delicious each time. Definitely a highlight of our trip & a delectable dessert not to be missed! Our favorite is the cinnamon & sugar with Nutella. Yum!
