Guglhupf Restaurant

This is one of my favorite places in Durham. I meet up with friends here monthly for breakfast. We always get fancy coffee drinks and sometimes oatmeal/chia or a croissant with scrambled eggs. The staff are lovely. The vibe is incredible whether you sit indoors our outside. If you’re outside in the cooler months, they have blankets and propane heat warmers. Parking can be a bit tricky. I recommend taking the street spots or those on the other side of the restaurant (near dumpsters). The bakery is also delicious to visit.

Guglhupf Restaurant & Bakery in Durham, NC is an absolute standout. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed—comfortable, stylish, and perfect for slowing down and enjoying the moment. The service is exceptional. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. You feel taken care of from start to finish, which makes the experience that much better. The food and drinks are outstanding. Their fresh matcha is top-tier—smooth, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The pastries are incredible: baked fresh, beautifully crafted, and full of flavor. Every bite reflects real quality and attention to detail. Guglhupf nails it on every level—service, atmosphere, and execution. A true 10/10 overall experience and easily one of the best spots in Durham. Highly recommend.

Great place with great food. Very interesting how this restaurant is arranged. For me that is more like a cafe style. You can order food at the window with a cash register or from girls nearby with a device and pay for your order right there. Your order will be brought to you by a waiter and just like in a cafe, you choose the place where you want to sit. I like it very much! We didn't have to wait long for our food and coffee, even though the restaurant looked crowded. I really love croissants and I have to say that almond croissant was surprisingly exactly what a croissant should be - soft inside and crispy outside. The coffee was also very tasty. Kippered Salmon was amazing! I will definitely come back to this place for dinner.

This was a great brunch spot. We ordered the fall omelette and avocado smash Benedict for food and a pumpkin pie latte and iced matcha for drinks. All items were fresh and appetizing. Lines seemed long but they were moving and the servers were also quick with bringing the food. Id suggest securing a table while waiting in line.

Came here a bit before noon and beat the real Friday crowd. Staff was friendly, food was great and we sat inside and while being a little smoky it was nice. Delivery of our food to the table was pretty fast too.

Very popular breakfast choice we got there before they’re opened and I was already a line. There is no table service for ordering food. You must stand in a line and order your food and it’s hard to get a refill of coffee. I found the food to be quite tasty and yummy with a slight German influence at least on the breakfast menu many of the seats are outside. There’s a small inside area. The outside has a lovely garden with cool weird statues. There’s a separate line for the bakery so you might wanna get in that line 1st get a snack while you wait over a half hour to put in your order.

Wow is an understatement, outstanding bakery, and food great menu. We enjoyed it so much. We are returning for breakfast before we fly out on Sunday morning. It was so good. I had to tell my cousin’s wife who is German about it so they can visit when they are up in this area. This is definitely on a go to list now every time we come up to visit our granddaughter at Duke.

Such a fun brunch spot! The atmosphere is amazing. It is very crowded, but there’s lots of heaters so even sitting outside we were warm.

What a lovely place! Between the wonderful food and everything to look at, I loved this. Finding the entrance can be a challenge. You grab an ever changing menu (hint the menu on the website, is NOT the menu they had today!). Once you know what you want, you go up to a window to order and pay. They hand you a number, and you either find a table, or you have someone finding a table while you order. You place the number on the pole on your table and wait. They bring your food to your table, but you have to go get your own butter, straws, silverware, etc, from a table by the wall. I enjoyed my food immensely. The Avacado Eggs Benedict was super flavorful with every single bite. You can order your bakery items at the window with your food. Or you can go into the little bakery and order there.

Came back with friends for brunch because we really enjoyed the cafe. The staff is wonderful and it wasn't too long of a wait even though it's graduation weekend. I got the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. My partner and a friend got a croissant sandwich and it was good, the egg was too over cooked and a little burnt. The chicken avocado panini was also pretty good. Another friend went to the bakery to get a quiche and it wasn't great. Overall, beautiful space to be in with friends & family.

NOTE: if you are looking for a relaxed place to eat breakfast/brunch and visit with friends/family, this is not your place. Seems to be very popular in the area, but any restaurant where you pay premium prices for 'ok' food and no table service, I can do without. Picked this place to meet up with relatives we hadn't seen for a while and unfortunately, wasted a big chunk of my time standing in line to place our order. Will not return....

Amazing experience! Family went for brunch on Saturday, very busy, but we found a table rather soon. Indoors and outdoors both look very nice. Between all of us we had a variety of food, omelets, Benedict's, sandwiches and off course a bunch of pastries. Everything was delicious. I had the Smørrebrød, smoked trout sandwich with pickled red onions, greens and crème fraiche, all the ingredients went well together, and it was veryyyy filling. The pancakes very fluffy refreshing with fruits. Overall serving size is generous! All the desserts were good, but the chocolate tart and apricot panna cotta stood out.

Love this place! Our favorite bakery in town. Excellent brunch. There's bakery only area where you can just come in and buy their baked items. Outdoor patio is dog friendly.

Popped in early on a weekend based on sister's recommendation. Place was already busy but they keep the line moving. I had the kippered salmon. The greens were pretty darn good. The salmon was above average but a very small portion given the price. The bread it came with was outstanding, very hearty and tasteful. Overall vibe of the place was ok. Inside seating was a little rundown.

Fantastic Austrian bakery with an attached restaurant. I used to live off 55 and would make a pilgrimage here every few weeks or so to get my carb fix. The parking on the weekends was atrocious then and is still awful since the back was converted into covered seating. Street parking is now safer since 15/501 was redesigned. The food: today we had a brunch of schnitzel with the potato salad. The schnitzel was fried perfectly, but the pan sauce and the potato salad could use some love. The sauce gets soaked up and you don't really have an option to spread it across the entree. The potato salad is cold and the starchy maybe even gelatinous consistency is unique. The matcha latte was nothing special, although i do appreciate no added sweetness. You order at the counter and have to figure out a table situation on your own. I can count on one hand the amount of times I dined. Low frills European style: I'm not super impressed with the restaurant side. Bakery: this is da.bomb.co.at! I haven't had an item that I would complain. Things range from tasty to proof that God's love is real. The croissants are traditional and buttery. The bread is Germanic, so hearty. It doesn't have a rustic flavor like a certain bakery in Raleigh off DuPont Circle, but makes a fine sandwich. Bonus points: they have a bread slicing machine on site! Other patisserie items like danishes are a must have for the brekkie or coworking date or day: decide your own adventure. If I was solely reviewing the bakery, I would give five stars no cap. There are other restaurant experiences in the Durham area.

It's been years since I've been to Guglhupf and it's one of those places I always think of to go when visitors are in town and I'm suddenly always excited to dine at. Their outside seating and their non-American menu just transports you to another European country. It gives you all the feels. It actually reminds me of a cafe in Paris now that I think about it. I've eaten a handful of times at Guglhupf (like most, I still have a hard time pronouncing it to this day) before the pandemic and fast forward a few years later, they now have a window where you order outside. It was a bit confusing at first but I actually prefer the new set up. We still had someone who brought the food over and helped with any condiments and any other needs we had so the service was still on point even though we ordered at the window. I had fish and chips, salad and a lemon dessert brownie looking thing. I wasn't sure if I should get fish and chips at German restaurant and if I made the right decision but it was actually pretty great! The fish had thick, flaky meat just how I like it. The salad was refreshing (I loved how it came with cauliflower, broccoli and beets!) and the dessert was a nice treat to end the meal. I was indeedly (is that a word?) satisfied. Reuben and Bratwursts, other options on the menu aren't my usual cravings but I do look forward to when my next guest in town wants to grab a doner! I'll be there for everything else.

Guglhupf is one of my favorite spots in Durham! You order at the window outside, take a number and then find a table. They offer ample outdoor and indoor seating, and heat lamps on colder mornings. The coffee is superb, the almond schneke is a great pastry and I loved the smashed avocado Benedict. The catch of the day was trout and it was cooked to perfection. I love bringing my friends and family to this spot. There is something for everyone on the menu.

I was in town for a concert and decided to stop here. My first impression was how unique it is. The ambiance is wonderful, inside and outdoors. They have outdoor seating with shade and indoor seating as well as upstairs seating. Jeremy was our waiter and he has wonderful customer service skills and is very personable. The menu is impressive with a variety of options. My fiancée decided to try the Reuben with potato salad and I tried the falafel with fries. We each had a coffee. The Vietnamese coffee and a vanilla flat white. They roast their beans in house which is great. The Vietnamese coffee was top tier and the flat white was great as well. I loved my falafel, it was full of flavor and it had some heat to it. My fiance was also impressed with his Reuben. I had a cream puff for desert and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to visit again soon! 5 stars!

Remember when you could actually go to Four Seasons mall and eat awesome German food at Dunderbachs? Well, Guglhupf brings back those feelings but elevates them higher. First thing that you notice is that the open air atmosphere of this restaurant reminds you of an open cafe that you would eat at in Germany. Parking is a little bit tight but we've never had problems getting in. But even if you had to park across the street I'm telling you it would be well worth your trouble. When you first get here you must go down the steps turn to the right and go into the bakery. The bakery brings you here, you stay for the food and the beer. They bake some of the best breads and pastries I have ever had. And when you can get a corn meal Jewish rye that is massive for only $5.50 or if it's day old you get it for about $3.80 how in the world can you ever go wrong with that. We have eaten here several times with our daughter and everything we have had is phenomenal. They have many options for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner and have many German beers on tap as well as some other locals. They also have a very good selection of wines but when you come to a German cafe like this you got to get a stein of beer and a big old brat with some German mustard. The servings are enormous as you can see in the pictures and so if you like to share meals this is a great place to go you could order two meals share them and take home food for tomorrow easily. I will say that when you first get there go to the bakery first because depending on the time of the day they might not have much left and then get a menu and get in line because they don't have a service at the table they do bring your food to you but you have to walk up to a counter to order and sometimes that line can get very long so you might want to get your order in quickly and then find a place to sit. I can promise you that your time to get here from wherever you are even if it's Greensboro is well worth your drive and this again is the location in Durham they have another location in chapel Hill I have not been to that one yet but I've been to this location several times and will be back several more.

We tried this restaurant while in Chapel Hill visiting on daughter for Mother's Day plus my granddaughter was working there. This is a German forward restaurant which means that the food is typically found in a Germany. On top of that, they had a 4 piece band playing on the patio where we were seated. I had the sliced lamb with Tzatziki sauce and it was great. My wife had the Ruben sandwich she loved and brought some home. My daughter had the soup of the day which she enjoyed. They have schnitzels ,bratwurst and several vegan dishes. I forgot to mention that they have a bakery attached to the restaurant with a separate entrance p. We stopped by upon leaving and got some fresh bread. Highly recommend this spot if you are in the area.

Delishhhous! What a great to come here on a rainy day and nosh. It was a Saturday morning so the parking lot was busy. There are spots on the street, we parked across the road. The seating inside and out is beautiful and lots to look at. I love that they have blankets if you are chilly. What a kind gesture. Whether you eat inside or out, you order at the outside window, they give you a number and being the order to the table. Pick up your water and silverware at one of the stations. Inside there is seating downstairs and more upstairs. The food...every bite was a dream. The gruyère cheese In our shitake mushroom omelet was perfect. My hubs and I split that and a Berliner (doughnut w rasp filling) and it was plenty. Definitely a must and will return!

What a fabulous little Biergarten (I think that's what it is). We stopped by on a Saturday for dinner. Party of 4. We sat outside. It was kind of chilly and they have heaters in one area that made it very cozy. It was hubby's birthday so my son in law insisted that he try the LITER of beer. Wow !!! That was a winner. They had a great choice of beers on tap. Food choices were great. Every item that each of us had was delicious. I had a Reuben. The fish and chips were a must try if that's your jam. Some of the best we have had in a while. You order at a window and they bring your food and drink out to your numbered table. It worked really well. I can't wait to come back and try some more delicious food.

The restaurant is hidden behind a bread store and book store that are super super cute. The whole area is really pretty to be honest and the ambience makes me feel like I am sitting in some order porch in Europe! You pick your own table after you go in line to order so I would try to have an idea of what you want before you get there. The service was super fast! We got our food in less than ten minutes. It was not anything super amazing but again nothing horrible either. I think the main thing is that the pastries and sweets they have are definitely worth getting! The food itself was just average, but the baked goods were fantastic. I was sweating a lot cause I chose to sit outside but I had to cause it was so nicely decorated! Parking is available all around the building and restrooms are inside! Definitely check out the bakery too that has it's own little store!

Worth the wait! Even though the parking situation is challenging, costumers are coming and going constantly. We went there for brunch on a sunny Sunday morning. We had to wait around 4 minutes to find a parking spot and another thirty to order and be seated. It is a great spot to seat outdoors and enjoy the sun. They have transformed a little parking space into a seating space and they also have their designated outdoor seating area which is way cuter. We enjoyed the items from the bakery more than the brunch items we ordered. The spinach and cheese pastry was phenomenal. I would order the Reuben sandwich again.

Overall, it's a very nice spot to hang out with friends. The food wasn't bad; I'd give it a 7/10, but I think the bakery itself was better. I would recommend trying the citrus Earl Grey scone! Also, while they have an iced Vietnamese coffee on the menu, it didn't taste like traditional Vietnamese coffee; it was more like normal American coffee, so I was a bit disappointed.

Nice comfy ambiance here. I'm eating here at 2:15 on a Saturday I can already imagine the chill vibes at night here as well. I sat near an outdoor fire pit and it was just the right amount of heat for this cloudy Saturday afternoon. I had a Reuben with a side of fries and a nice Chai with almond milk. Definitely filled me up. The people I saw and heard around me definitely spoke highly of this place as well. The location is also dog friendly and there were several floofy companions that definitely happy to be there as well!! Overall good food, good drinks, good vibes and people overall!

What a great place to have a meal whether during weekend brunch (be prepared to stand in line, but it's surprisingly fast still) or weekday nights. I love their German foods and bakery items with my favorites being the fish and chips and Reubens. I love the ambience for dinner date night or working in the early mornings. It's a great place and one of my favorites in Durham

This was such a sweet place to enjoy lunch with friends. We've spent time in southern Germany, so this restaurant felt wonderfully nostalgic to us. We sat outdoors and loved the vibe of the whole place. We were lucky to get parking in the lot -- we arrived a few minutes after it opened and the lot was already almost full and most tables were taken. We loved the falafel kebab, and the fries were delicious. The croissant sandwich was also wonderful. The salad was okay -- I think there was too much lettuce compared with other toppings, but the toppings that were there were great (loved the pickled beets). The chaider (a combo of chai and cider) was fun to try, but so sweet, so be prepared for that. We will absolutely be back!

Met dear friends here for brunch. It was bustling on a Thursday morning. The garden was bright and colorful with artwork scattered around giving the outdoor space a hip vibe. All of their breads and pastries are baked on site and it was easy to see that this is a popular meeting place. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. We ordered Eggs Benedict, a crispy tofu sandwich and the mushroom and cheese omelette and no one was disappointed. I meant to stop by the bakery and grab some pastries to go, but that gives me the perfect excuse to return. Highly recommend this Durham favorite.

This was our first visit to Guglhauf Cafe & Bakery. I would grade it as follows: food taste and quality 5 out of 5, cost eat $25/person for lunch, 3 out of five. Bakery is full of delicious, expensive breads, scones and danishes. Seating is mostly outdoors at picnic tables or 4 person cafe tables. We loved the bread basket appetizer, the vegan chilli with imitation chorizo and the mango cheese danish. Our entrees were just ok.

7.5/10 The bakery is great, the breakfast/lunch food is good but not great. This place is popular even on a weekday so parking is nigh impossible during peak times. Lamb doner was pretty delicious but I could not eat the swabian potato salad side. Perhaps the style of the salad is just not my thing but it was extremely bland. Had a diet coke and it definitely tasted off. Bakery goods were fantastic. Got a carrot cake muffin which was super moist, not too sweet, and delicious. Would have preferred a little more cream cheese frosting bits woven in there but it was great. Ate half the next day and it was still great. Almond croissant (?) was a little less sweet than I would have preferred and not as light and flakey as I would have liked but with the caveat that I did wait until the next morning to eat it. Probably better day of.

Beautiful interior and exterior. Will be an amazing place to visit in the fall! Mimosa pitchers were a huge bang for their buck and allowed each person to have several. The food was delicious and served quickly. I got pancakes that were perfectly fluffy and buttery. The staff was kind and attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Food Always consistent - nothing spectacular but breakfast/brunch is brunch. Good pastries and good selection of drinks. The Vietnamese iced coffee was super sweet and had more milk than coffee which is very different from the traditional Viet iced coffee. Service The crowds are always super big on weekends so kudos to the cashiers for being friendly each time I've went! Ambiance Love the outdoor dining area!

Can't say anything bad with our meal. We came on a Saturday at high noon. The weather was a beautiful, sunny and breezy 68-70 degree day. We had about a 30-minute wait and it was well worth it. My wife had the brat on a pretzel bun, and I had the pork schnitzel, holstein-style, which is a fried egg served on top of the schnitzel, while other additions traditionally include smoked salmon, caviar, sardines, capers, or anchovies. Mine was with anchovies. It also included capered butter. We polished it all down with some half-liters of festbier and finished our Epicurious adventure with a passion fruit mango tart. Epic!

Guglhupf is pretty close to our apartment, so I thought I'd take myself for a weekend stroll for a coffee, and let me tell you this place is HOPPIN at brunch time. I waited outside at the normal window to order my coffee, which was about a 10 minute wait. Once I got to the front the girl working told me next time there is a coffee station inside I can go directly to so I don't have to wait in the long line. Oops. It was worth it anyway! Before ordering I took a look at the bakery area to see what the options were, and as someone who has lived in Germany before, this place is legit. I grabbed some German breads for breakfast the next day after sipping on my coffee, and the German breakfast spread we were able to make with them were delicious. This was some of the most authentic German bread I've had in the states aside from Leavenworth, WA! The decorating is very classy, and I loved looking at the chandeliers. We've dined here before in the outdoor Biergarten area, and that also has a cozy feel to it. The service was quick and I was impressed by how the staff was keeping up with how busy they were!

This place will always be my go to brunch place! I absolutely love the decor and outdoor seating. The food is also very vegetarian friendly. One of my favorites is their avocado poblano panini but their omelette is a close second! Great place to soak in the Carolina sun!

Food okay, vibe immaculate! I came on ash day morning and the line looked long, but it went super quick (5 mins). Sunny, outdoorsy, artistic spot-- perfect for brunch. That being said, the food wasn't particularly special or stand-out, but given the space it doesn't really need to be.

My all time favorite place in Durham. I love to come here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a perfect spot to take friends and family with the low key atmosphere and ample seating. We also bring our dog to sit outside by the space heaters on a chilly winter morning. You can't go wrong with the food here. I've tried almost everything on the menu once. They have brunch specials on the weekend, and the fried seafood platter ($20) was the best fried seafood I've had! It had fried scallops, fish, shrimp, and oyster. My favorite lunch item is the friend oyster salad. They have a delicious fried tofu sandwich, Rueben sandwich, and pork schnitzel. The little bakery next door is a great place to buy local gifts like bourbon from Durham Honeygirl Meadery or chapel hill toffee.

Gugulhupf is a one-of-a kind Durham experience. This gem serves German food and pastries. They have one of the best coffee menus, and I really love their fall drinks. My favorite from this season was the apple chai-der. Trust me, it's delicious! I've ordered a couple things from here, but I really like the pancake. It's a huge single pancake that is perfectly fluffy and filling. I also love their baked goods, especially the scone. They have a lovely patio and outdoor seating area. They even offer heaters and complimentary blankets to keep you warm. You can also eat inside, which to me has a whimsical cabin vibe. The only cons are the lines can get long for seating on the weekends, so keep that in mind if you're coming early.

Loved the vibe on a Sunday morning. We decided to eat outdoors. You stake out a table pick up a menu then order at the counter. They will give you a card to deliver the food and drinks to your table. We ordered a Reuben sandwich with fries and their eggs Benedict. To drink we had coffee and one of their specialty coffees. Service was fast and efficient. Portions were good.

Food was as close to real German food that I have found. The sausage took me back to my time in Germany it was very good. The mustard was amazing. Puff pastry outstanding. The fish and chips had a good batter and everything had real good portions. I will be back.

My favorite place to go for coffee, brunch, lunch or really any occasion to meet up with friends. There is something for everyone here and its especially lovely when the weather is nice with all of the outdoor seating areas.

10/10. Exactly what i look for in a cafe/bisro style restaurant. The menu was varied so everyone was happy. The ambiance of the place was perfect. Its a great place for photo taking. They had a great drink menu with everything from european beers, sodas, coffees, and other hot beverages. I got a chai latte and it was honestly the best ive had in NC. The whole system of the place was slightly confusing as you order at a stand and grab your utencils yourself, but everyone caught on quickly. The staff was great and understood our confusion. They had indoor and outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend.

Was only able to get into the bakery section since the wait was long and I didn't have a reservation. I brought home 14 different things and I cannot explain how amazing everything tasted. My favorite was probably the berry tart but the cream puff and chocolate macaroons were right at the top of the list away. I can see why it's so popular - the restaurant portion is adorable looking as well. Perfect brunch place just remember to make reservations!

I dropped by the bakery on a Friday around lunchtime. The parking lot and restaurant were very busy, but the bakery had easy access and very friendly customer service. I bought the butter croissant and cinnamon roll, and oh my, what a treat!!! The croissant was buttery and delicious, and the cinnamon roll was perfection. I will definitely be going back whenever I'm in Durham. I can't wait to try the restaurant!

Love that I can not just get brunch, but also some fresh pastries/bread to go. The menu is deep and there is a line here for a reason it seems. I was skeptical about the place but ultimately happy to come pick up a multitude of beautifully fluffy pastries. I was actually stoked with how much I enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant.

Bottom line: Guglhupf served us a delicious Sunday brunch. Line can be a bit long waiting to get to order at the outside window but after being seated, the food is fantastic as expected. The Deets: Recently I had the chance to revisit Guglhupf with some friends after a very very long time since my last visit then realized...I've never done a review here, so we have to get that taken care of here and now. Parking is a bit challenging, even more so that a lot of the space has been utilized now since the pandemic for outside seating. When arriving, you wait in line to put in your order at the window if you are dining there instead of ordering when seated (choice of indoor or outdoor is made when ordering at the window). The line can be a bit long but moves pretty well. We decided to dine inside and after ordering at the outside window, we were shown to one of the tables upstairs near a window, it was a nice table. We awaited our orders and had a mimosa pitcher we ordered to keep us happy until the food arrived as well as my delicious latte. My order was the croissant sandwich (scrambled egg, cheese, bacon) with fresh fruit, with a side order of one pancake. When it came, it looked wonderful and the tasting proved so...awesome. I was glad the fruit was more than just melon, I love grapes and pineapple so I was pleased there. The pancake was huge and more than what I expected for a side one pancake. The croissant hit the spot, hearty and delicious. I did not get a chance to experience the bakery side this time, but Sunday brunch was a great experience as I expected it to be. I'd say 4.5 stars considering ordering at a window outside instead of your table and waiting in a long outside line to get there but the food itself pushes them up to 5 stars in my book.

I've been hearing about this place from several friends and finally today was the day for my husband and I to get out for a lunch date. First impression was, this place is popular! On a Friday for Lunch the line ran out to the parking lot. Immediately I knew this place won't disappoint. They have an amazing patio area, day time it's a cafe and night time it's converted to a Biergarten. Service was quick! As soon as we got seated our drinks and food arrived within 10-15 min max. As for drinks & food, we ordered the following: - ginger honey mojito: really good and refreshing. - old fashioned: my husband enjoyed this as well. - shiitake mushroom omelette: really good, lacked salt. Next time I would order something else like a sandwich. It comes with baguette (which was fresh and went well with butter) and fresh fruit. - buttermilk fried chicken sandwich: husband liked the chicken, the dressing was sweeter, he was hoping for something spicy or at least have an option to choose. Overall he liked the sandwich. We'll definitely be back to try the other dishes and drinks! Highly recommend.

Great food and we enjoyed sitting outside and even brought some bakery bread home with us!

One of the best places in the triangle. Great outdoor seating, massive plates and super great patisserie options. It deserves a visit a month for sure

Really enjoy the vibe and the food here. Lately, I've also been exploring their cocktail menu more. This summer, they had a nice watermelon daiquiri which really hit the spot on hot afternoons. For the fall, there's a Mezcal margarita called Easy being green that has cucumber infusions. Very tasty, and far too easy to drink far more than are good for you! Like all good things. Tonight, I had a tasty kielbasa grilled on their bretzel bun, cheese, and other toppings. Loads of food, all of it loaded with taste. In an earlier review, I mentioned that parking was troublesome. They have carved out a lot between themselves and The Refractory Cafe which adds a little relief to the problem. They have also expanded their outdoor seating to circle down the rear of the building, so there is more seating with loads of space between tables.

Have gotten baked goods from here a few times and they're always delicious. The muffins are my favorite. You can tell how fresh everything is. Wish I could eat this everyday! There's a lot of space to sit inside and it's very cute and comfy.

Stopped by on a Sunday at 11 and the lot was PACKED. It seemed most people were having brunch at the restaurant because the bakery wasn't too crowded. There's a nice selection of sweet and savory baked goods, though it's a bit pricey. I tried the lemon tart and it was too sweet for me and the lemon flavor was a bit too overpowering. Also tried the ham and cheese croissant. It could have used more ham and more cheese. Maybe I just didn't order the right items.

It has a small menu, but what it does have is absolutely delicious. This place is perfect for a warm day as there is a ton of outdoor seating, however inside there are a few tables and it's worth sitting inside every once in awhile to check out the great vibes. If the cafe is too busy the bakery next door is also amazing. I usually stop by there after grabbing breakfast. My go to is the potato and leek tart! It's perfection!

There's a reason Guglhupf is so popular. We live in the neighborhood so frequent the restaurant fairly often, and I can say that you really can't go wrong visiting any time of day. We've had their pastries, lunch menu, dinner menu, snack items and cocktails and all are excellent. I especially like the fries with dips snack plate and the rose de margarite cocktail. Just a heads up, their beer pours are larger than the average place and start at .5 liter. There's plenty of outdoor seating and indoor as well. You'll find what you need here!

Great food and service. The coffee was great and there's a very cool vibe. Will definitely return when back in Durham.

This is a cool place to eat dinner and hang out. You order food and drink at the window and they bring it or you. The menu is German inspired and interesting. I was pleased with the garden salad with fresh vegetables and a soft cheese. The dressing was tasty and did not dominate the flavors. I took one star off for the service. While they were helpful and relatively quick to deliver the food, they do not remove dirty dishes until you leave the table. This means if you are not in a rush to leave after eating, you will sit with dirty dishes.

I enjoyed having brunch at Guglhupf Bakery! They have plenty of parking but note to arrive earlier as it gets packed quickly. When you arrive, you order at the counter/window, then they give you a number, and you seat yourself outdoor or indoors (side note: if you go in a group, have one person order and the other get a table). The food was good, well portioned, and reasonably priced! We had an iced matcha latte, eggs Benedict, and their salmon plate. The eggs benedict came with two poached eggs, Westphalian ham and hollandaise, on a brioche toast and with a side of fruit. Personally, the ham was a little too salty for me. However, the eggs were perfectly poached. I would give this meal an 8/10. The kippered salmon had herbed quark, a hard-boiled egg, cornichon, capers, and mehrkorn bread. Overall, this wonderful gem is a must-try!!
