      Located in the Columbia University neighborhood just across the street from the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, The Hungarian Pastry Shop serves croissants, danish, tarts, turnovers, pastries, cookies and cakes. It offers a large selection of coffees and teas – both hot and cold. Soft lighting, original artwork, and wood tables and chairs make the Pastry Shop particularly conducive to reading, relaxing, chatting or studying. On sunny days, patrons take advantage of sidewalk chairs and tables. The Hungarian Pastry Shop has been the setting of a scene in several movies including Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives. In existence for more than 35 years, it is a favorite spot for Columbia University students and intelligentsia as well as tourists coming to visit the magnificent Cathedral.
