The thing about Farkas is that the napoleons made by Mike and his team are consistently wonderful any time of year.I could eat a whole box of these myself, they are not too sweet, they are light, and the creme between the puff pastry and custard is just heavenly. The chocolate one is so chocolatey and delicious, too! In the fall, they even have a pumpkin variation.If you're looking for a new dessert to try, look no further. Farkas is what you want, I PROMISE! Try the amazing Raspberry/Hazelnut Linzer bar, Gerbeaud, and the nut roll which is fabulous alongside a coffee. When I tell you I can eat all of them by myself and would happily do so every day forever, I mean it.Keep up the great work, Farkas!

I can't speak highly enough about this unique gem in Cleveland! The exterior and interior are both exceptionally quaint and inviting. It's the type of familiar that entices you to sit in the window with a warm nut roll and a cup of coffee only to people watch for the next half hour. Owned and operated fully Hungarian and you can taste it in every bite. We enjoyed all of the delicious delicacies that we purchased here and to no surprise, our favorite is the Hungarian Dobos Torte! Absolutely phenomenal! The biggest take away from visiting here is that they are baking the goods right before your eyes, which they later place in the shelf. We actually left and came back for the nut roll because they were making and baking it during our visit. This can be seen from across the counter (& also in the photos). Also of note is that Hungarian pastries are unique and offer a new frontier to explore for any one with a sensible sweet tooth. You won't find donuts, cookies, or cupcakes here. What you will find is culture, class, and confectionery genius!

Oh man this place is good. The neopolitan is good, & I don't usually like them. The lemon squares are delicious, and the apple linzer was a big hit. The apple flavor really came through and had a good tartness to it, not overly sweet. This neighborhood can be a hit of a nightmare from the parking and traffic. Park a few blocks over and walk - worth the stop!

I heard about this shop from my Dr. up in Buffalo, NY. I think they cater to restaurants and caterers. I was leaving Columbus, OH and gave a call to see if they were open and they said they were working but, they had 3 types of pastries available that day. Despite being "closed" they allowed my family and I to come in and get the pastries. Neopolean - heavenly!!! Light, airy and sweet are a few of the adjectives I'd use. However, I think the most amazing quality was that the pastry melted in your mouth. No dryness or coarseness whatsoever was to be detected. Two flavored lintzers were great as well. I'll definitely be adding this to my stop anytime I'm anywhere near downtown Cleveland.

Decently priced gourmet bakery items. Apple linzer has nice cinnamon soft crust with apple pie like filling. Brownie was soft and fudgy and dense. Young male employee who helped me was great at answering questions and explaining items.

I can't possibly give enough stars! Before I even mention the napoleons (vanilla and chocolate)... let me mention the one person working on this past Sunday (Mike), was everyone's BEST ambassador! Super helpful and knowledgeable- gave us his favorites and answered all our questions patiently! The star of the day is the paprikash sauce on the shelf (I had to have it just because I wanted to see what jar of magic could cost $11). Also asked Mike what to serve that with - which he knew the immediate Spaetzle answer. Pics of that to follow and YES it was worth every penny!

Came here in search of a napoleon to celebrate my moms birthday. Wasnt any parking in the area on a Sunday afternoon, however the lot for West side market is free for a bit and not a bad walk at all, so that's what I did. The shop was a lot different inside than expected- very vacant and low key. There was one other person in the shop when I was there, they were sitting eating at a small table. the pastries were all kind of in the side refrigerator- not really the most alluring display. I'm not really sure what else they had, I just asked for one Napoleon and then they had a pumpkin Napoleon so I decided to ask for that as well. the staff member that helped me promptly dumped it in powdered sugar- which was nice, however I kind of wish he would've asked because it was a little overkill in my opinion. in the future I will ask for no extra powdered sugar.the napoleons were great. not traditional in what i'm used to at all though. they do not have multiple layers of phyllo dough and custard they have one layer and then it's primarily whipped cream and then a very thin layer of custard and then another layer of puff pastry. so in my opinion it's not what I think of when I think of a classic Napoleon, i'm assuming this is the hungarian variation. but it was quite good! the pumpkin one was very subtle. I would definitely go back, they just are a little pricey at four dollars each.

I had their dobos torte at a Ritz Carlton event and had to find out where the cake came from! Lucky for me, one of the cake had a chocolate piece that said FARKAS on it :) Best and I came in today and tried their Napoleons, both the vanilla and chocolate. I found the chocolate Napoleon quite enjoyable, with a dense chocolate custard that was akin to rich and creamy pudding on the palate. Great with coffee :D

Small and authentic, stopped in asking about baklava and the gentleman up front gave me other options to check out and was incredibly kind. I got the pork crackling biscuits and chocolate & vanilla napoleon. Delicious
