Introduction
Auguszt is an unmitigated family business, where each and every member of the family has interest in the success of the business and the profession. They undertake past, tradition, and century old greatness with a confusing simplicity.
Auguszt is one of those stories, where family business is not the source of stress, but is a treasure which they value and guard with an unwavering persistence. The family practices their profession with enormous energy, charm and perseverance, combining the respect for tradition and an uncontainable conquering spirit in a remarkable compound.
We would like to welcome you in one of our shops at four different locations of Budapest, to enjoy our traditional or modern cakes and sweets in beautiful surroundings!
