Kurtosh

Great place for dessert lovers. Good atmosphere and coffee. You can try different types of cake and the cheesecake in particular is my favorite! Every time I get a friend there they end up loving it.

Great cakes and coffee with friendly service and family atmosphere. I’ll be back to feed my cake addiction.

Very good cake. The lemon crumble cheesecake was delicious. But the coffee came out watery and bitter. Couldn’t drink it.

Wonderful little café with a great concept. The staff are friendly and the Kurtosh are yummy, but we’re looking forward to trying the other pastries.

I have been here a couple of times, the pastries are great especially when they have the unusual combinations. Their namesake pastry is decent but also not my favorite. The chocolate cookie however has me coming back for more. The service here though hasn’t been that great which is why I’m only giving them 3 stars. Other locations like Crows Nest have exactly the same pastries with much friendlier service.

Discovered this great cake and coffee shop at the Spot in Randwick. Since I go to Crows Nest quite often I also make the effort to seek out their other branch. There’s also one in Darlinghurst if like me you become a fan of their coffee and Duo Mousse chocolate cake.
The way you can decide the size of your cake to fit your pocket or your appetite is a great idea — Also a good way to try many different cakes in bite-​size pieces.
The staff are friendly and pretty efficient and will even bring you some water after you finished your cake and coffee when it’s not so busy. It’s very busy on Tuesdays and Saturdays is prime time for the Spot because of the local Ritz Cinema so getting a seat or a table can be hard.

This place is da bomb! Love the fact they have little bits of things you can try and taste while you’re trying to make up your mind of what to buy. The choices are a little overwhelming because you really do want to get everything. I dropped by this place as I was in charge of desserts recently at a dinner recently. The sponge cake and stick peanuts things were a hit. What they are famous for though is the kurtosh which they have several versions. Best thing you buy these products by weight. Really Sydney, you need to catch up to this!

The only thing I would suggest they change at Kurtosh, apart from the allegedly red back riddled, brown snake swimming, «outback dunny» which I’ve never seen or used it, and only read about it on Unilocal,but it sounds dangerous and the reason Inever used or saw it is cos I’m too busy inside pumping fist after fist of delicious cake into my mouth.
Where was I. Oh yes the only thing I would change would be take the glass away from between me and the cake, love the principal that’ll you cut my slice but lets take out the middle man and let me cut it!
Great Place

Friends took me to The Spot after raving about the cake here. Was definitely curious, and down the rabbit hole we went. It’s a very friendly staffed, cozy atmosphere that’s nice to sit and chat after dinner. I’m a big fan of cafes that are still open at that time. It was a narrowed down choice between 2 cakes, and in the end the Carrot Cake beat out Mum’s Chocolate Cake. That was the easy decision… When faced with how much of the slab cake you were willing to eat… that proved to be the most difficult. The icing was delicious, and the cake was very moist! Some places can not seem to get the cake to be moist enough, but Kurtosh gets it right. Our pot of English Breakfast was accompanied with a little bottle of milk, which all that was missing from it was a tag that says «Drink Me». With it’s Alice In Wonderland feel in the sense of big slabs of cake enticing you to «Eat Me» and small bottles of milk & small stools to sit on, it’s a place I would certainly come back to. Mum’s Chocolate Cake is waiting for me.

Pros
loads of cakes
Delicious tea leaf tea
Really friendly staff
Cons
Really uncomfortable seating
Nasty nasty toilets
Lovely location and even though the seats are god awful to sit on, they look cool. However, the bathrooms were so nasty, that I actually wouldn’t go back here. You have to walk through the alley and out the back, through what appears to be a garbage tip and into a tin shed/​shack. It looks like they attempted to make it respectable inside at one point, but it’s filthy and may as well be an outback dunny. Just doesn’t cut the mustard in Randwick.

Quirky concept (but also potentially scary depending on how much you think you can eat). A great selection of cakes and the pear one that I had was great!

One of the sweetest olfactory moments I have had, ever!
Cosily tucked down a side street in Randwick at The Spot, Kurtosh is a new kind of cake shop. Hungarian treats are displayed under glass cabinets in this gorgeous addition to the upwardly trendy area. The beautiful tiling on the walls gives this space a Euro feel and the staff are inviting enough to share any info on the exquisite cakes if you are willing to listen.
Huge, square mousse cake of dark and white chocolate is very tempting. Baked cheese cake and tiny croissants and apparently «great» coffee.
Try a little Hungarian morsel and you will be sure to take some home with you.
I can’t wait to take a friend for coffee and sit on one of the cute vintage chairs out the front and try another of their spectacularly naughty creations.
An enticing place indeed.
