Zsúr Café & Fagylaltozó is in central Balatonlelle at Szent István út 3., a few hundred metres from the railway station. It opened in spring 2020 and has since become one of Lelle’s favourite spots for coffee and ice cream. According to HelloHungary, its two owners, Gabi and Gábor, came with thirty years of hospitality experience.
Provence on Szent István út
The 90-square-metre interior was designed in Provençal style by interior designer Zsuzsa Istók, with textiles, colours and custom furniture chosen together with the owners. The lamps echo the tile pattern, and the table legs and wall panelling share one colour. Guests mention the blue and beige tones, the elegant vintage feel and the huge terrace.
Ice cream from real fruit
The ice cream is made only from natural ingredients and real fruit, and the range changes with the seasons. In autumn there is cinnamon plum and blueberry-rum chestnut, salted pumpkin seed is among the specialities, and guests also praise the zserbó, mint raspberry and salted caramel flavours. Sugar-free ice cream is available too, such as banana curd cream and dark chocolate. Shakes are made with ice cream, milk, fruit and syrup.
Cakes with old-time flavours
The homemade cakes recall the flavours of earlier times: Eszterházy cake, raspberry cottage cheese cake, Túró Rudi cake, cheesecake and lemon pie in summer. The house dessert is a cream slice with caramelised pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil. The menu also considers diabetics and people with food intolerances, with lactose-free and gluten-free options.
Coffee, lemonade, mojito
The coffee is Santo Domingo with its own roast, plus a different coffee speciality each month. There are teas, several lemonades and espresso tonic. In the evening the mojito is a favourite, and there is Mort Subite cherry beer. Homemade jam, herbal syrups and craft chocolate are sold to take home.
Who it is for
Families for an afternoon ice cream, couples and friends for a coffee or an evening mojito on the terrace, and anyone who needs sugar-free or gluten-free options. For a quick, cheap scoop by the beach, other Lelle ice cream shops are simpler.

The person behind the place
Their own Zsúr after thirty years
Zsúr was opened in spring 2020 by its two owners, Gabi and Gábor, who according to HelloHungary had thirty years of hospitality experience. They wanted a homely space where everyone feels comfortable, so they designed the Provençal interior with interior designer Zsuzsa Istók, with an ice cream counter planned for quick service in a small space. Their philosophy is simple: homemade cakes with old-time flavours and ice cream from real fruit.

Local tip
Ask for the coffee of the month
A different coffee speciality appears every month, so ask. For sugar-free ice cream, banana curd cream and dark chocolate are good choices. You can take homemade jam and syrup home.
