Mandula Confectionery

Cafe Frei serves its guests the world’s favourite coffees, teas, cakes and pastries. Their aim is to provide everyone a real, round-the-world trip of flavours and a true experience of what coffee should be like – whether in their cafés or at home, just after waking up. Top quality – at unbeatable prices! In Cafe Frei, coffee is brewed from beans freshly roasted in the company’s own plant. What makes the experience of flavours incomparable is that they serve coffee from 100% hand-picked arabica beans, sorted several times already at the plantations. The coffees are brewed on the basis of the recipes of their own, Dutch mixing master and coffee-chefs, supplementing the Italian “coffee kitchen” also with the finest creations of Arabic, Caribbean and East-Asian coffee-making traditions. The cakes, pastries, wines and breads sold are all “original”: they are not only similar to the world’s favourite products, but are indeed the real deal. They are brought to Hungary from France, Italy or all the way from Australia – whether they be pastries, coffee or wine. Cafe Frei wants you to taste the whole world right here in Hungary!

Mandula Confectionery started as a family enterprise more than a quarter century ago, and has since developed into a business with three locations in Debrecen. One of these is in the greenbelt district of the city, in Ember Pál Street, where delicious cakes, home-style cookies and other sweets, speciality coffees are combined with high-quality service and favourable prices.

Kismandula Confectionery was opened as the second store of the family business in May 1999, and has since become a landmark in city centre. In the place of the once famous, and then more infamous "Művész" (Artist) Pub behind the building of Csokonai Theatre, Kismandula brought a new image as a place for after-school conversations, business meetings, family events, birthday celebrations and other occasions. As the locals know well, the always ambient interior, the terrace with a fountain in the summer, quick and precise service, favourable prices, and mouthwatering, unforgettably delicious flavours await visitors year round.

In the heart of Debrecen, in the financial centre on Hatvan Street, located among banks, office buildings and stores, Szőke Confectionery offers an intimate atmosphere, where many people running errands stop by for a piece of cake, a coffee or some other refreshments, and in fact they also often also ask for an extra few slices to go so they can surprise their family members or co-workers. The confectionery often serves as a meeting place for young people, groups of friends, and as a venue for business meetings. In addition, it is also an ideal location for visitors of the nearby Kossuth Square and the whole pedestrianized city centre with its frequent events. Szőke Confectionery welcomes guests with much love, excellent products and meticulously polite service.
