Sissy Kávézó és Fagylaltozó, Hévíz: menu, opening hours, reviews

Sissy Kávézó és Fagylaltozó is in the centre of Hévíz, on Deák tér, roughly 300 metres from the lake. It’s one of the town centre’s favourite meeting points: cakes baked on site, house-recipe ice cream from spring to autumn, coffee and an open door all day. On Restaurant Guru it averages 4.8/5 from more than eight hundred reviews, very strong for a patisserie.

An inner courtyard on Deák tér

The café sits under the Marton László Gallery, next to the statue of Ferenc Deák, on the ground floor of a building with an inner courtyard, surrounded by gift shops and small stores. That gives it a slightly hidden feel: outside the bustle of the centre, inside a calmer courtyard, sometimes with live music.

The counter: cakes

The cake counter is the heart of the place. Classic and creamy cakes, krémes (vanilla custard slice) in the French style, fruit and mousse slices, curd-cheese dumplings, and a sugar-free option that one guest called simply world-class. Cakes are made to order too: one guest wrote that the cake ordered for her father’s sixtieth birthday was divine and beautiful.

Ice cream from spring to autumn

From spring to autumn the ice-cream counter is open too, with many flavours, all made to their own recipes. Sissy has also joined Hungarian Ice Cream Day. With a cone in your hand you can stroll down to the lake in a few minutes, the classic Hévíz picture in front of the lake bath buildings.

Space and atmosphere

Friendly, kind service, a café-patisserie atmosphere and terrace seating. Guests say the staff are attentive and helpful, and dogs are welcome too: one guest’s puppy was brought a bowl of water without asking.
