Dobos torte
Where can I find a dobos torte in Manhattan? This is a Hungarian cake of many thin layers covered with a hard caramelized sugar top.

I would try the Hungarian Pastry Shop by Columbia:

Thank you so much. I have just ordered one. They need two days notice and sell the Dobos Torte in three different sizes, starting at 7 inches.

There's also Café Sabarsky.

Let us know how it was. I thought of Cafe Sabarsky but that place is Austrian, which is not the same as Hungarian. Are the pastries the same? They do make something similar.

Vicky- if you find yourself craving more Dobos, I'd also try Nita European Bakery in Sunnyside, Queens. My parents are Transylvanian/Romanian, and I was pretty much raised on their desserts. To me, their Dobos is the only Dobos. :)

Andre's Cafe on 2nd Ave, between 84th and 85th. It's an Hungarian Bakery and for the most part uses the old Mrs. Herbst's recipes.
