Tejvirág Fagylaltozó

Tejvirág Fagylaltozó sells its ice cream on Platán beach in Boglár, a few steps from the water, where beachgoers queue at the counter in their swimsuits with wet hair. It is an artisan ice cream shop that does not work with factory-made bases, and you can see it in the scoops: the fruit flavours have the colour of the fruit, the nut flavours the colour of the nuts. In summer it is one of the busiest spots on the beach, and a scoop after a swim is practically compulsory.

From PE teacher to ice cream maker

The shop is run by Viktor Buzsics. He trained as a PE teacher, and since his summers were free he wanted to do something useful with them: he bought an ice shaver and sold shaved ice at markets and events in Pécs. He sold the car he got for his school-leaving exams and used the money to buy his first soft-serve machine, then opened a small shop in Pécs before the opportunity at Lake Balaton came along. He learned the basics of ice cream making from his friend Dávid Wilheim, who had taken an ice cream course in Italy. He is still part of a circle of friends who run separate shops but help each other with recipes and competitions.

The Balaton hot kiss

Viktor’s best-known ice cream is the Balaton forró csókja, the Balaton hot kiss: raspberry with chilli and a mildly spicy finish. The idea came from a chilli raspberry sauce he tasted at a chocolate festival. With this ice cream he won a special prize at the Balaton Fagyija (Balaton’s Ice Cream) competition in 2020, his first contest, and in 2026 two of his apricot ice creams, Kajsziföl and Kajszi és chill(i), reached the final. The counter holds around sixteen flavours, with seasonal specials alongside the classic lemon, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, pistachio and hazelnut.

Sugar-free too

There is always sugar-free ice cream on offer, sweetened with erythritol and maltitol, so those who avoid sugar can have a scoop too. In the heat, the shaved ice made from natural ingredients is a good choice as well. They try to avoid artificial colourings and flavourings.

The place

Tejvirág is not a kiosk but a modern pavilion among the beach trees, with a terrace, parasols and chairs in front. The giant flower-covered ice cream cone by the entrance tells you from afar where you are, and it is the children’s favourite photo spot. Alongside the ice cream they serve refreshing summer drinks, so in the afternoon the terrace is a good stop for an orangey summer drink too. It is seasonal: open during the summer beach season, roughly from June to the end of September.

What do guests say?

The feedback is good: guests praise the natural flavours, the fruit ice creams and the sugar-free range, and the trade has recognised the ice creams at competitions.

Who we recommend it for

Anyone swimming at Platán beach or strolling along the promenade, especially families with children. Those who like bolder flavours such as chilli raspberry, and those looking for sugar-free ice cream. Do not plan it for winter: the counter is only open in summer.

How much does it cost?

Good value, the usual price level of Balaton artisan ice cream shops: one or two scoops in a cone cost from a few hundred to a few thousand forints.
