Reviews of Guglhupf Bakery, Cafe & Biergarten (Bakery)

Nikki

Simon was a huge help & Ki was a great cashier for a large order. This place is full of kind staff and customers. I had a great time with my big family from Atlanta and the food was so fresh and eclectic for choices. Will go again!

Joseph Beal

I love everything about this place except the price. The food is very good and I love the pastries. Although a bit overpriced I will return here, just not as often as I would like.

Luke Doerning

Impressed by the uncommon German beers on draft. Food was modern, but still familiar, and prepared perfectly.

Richard Blake

Good coffee and dessert selections. Nice eclectic feel

Areej Abdulwahab

This place has a good bakeries. The services are always nice and super friendly. I usually go here for breakfast and to crowded especially in the weekend. And sometime I come for coffee and desert or lunch. My favorite dish is the pancakes. Highly recommended.

Will Kavanagh

Really eccentric looking place with amazing food. The schnitzel with mushroom gravy is outstanding. The Targaryen Collins is the most refreshing cocktail you'll have in the Triangle. The caramelized lemon bar is the perfect end to your meal.

Christine F

Even though it was a packed Saturday crowd, the service and atmosphere were great. Not cheap though, expect $10-$15 brunch entrees. Some of the pastries and drinks are priced better.

Natasha DePesa

We've only been once, but can't wait to go back! Very good food, fresh bread, beers. Mmmm.

Nicole M

Always a nice time! Love the seating and bakery, food is very good - lunch time is the best time to go :)

Daniel Englebretson

Excellent authentic German food. I grew up in Germany, and going here takes it back for me. Great food, drinks, and German beer! I highly recommend that you try it out. Truly one of the local gems.

Cyndie Pogue

Good food and drinks but very slow service upstairs. Bring your patience.

Robin Emmons

Kevin the bartender was absolutley wonderful. The food and drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere Charming, eclectic and intimate. Will definitely return.

Meghan Scott

Really cool atmosphere, especially outside. A great place to go in nice weather. Order at the counter unless you sit at the small bar. We had the schnitzel which was very tender and perfectly crispy however it didn't fill us up for long. The beers were great and the bartender was helpful in explaining the beers and picking out some we would like.

김한얼

I didnt like the food. No good

Eric Hines

Excellent German Fusion with a really cool atmosphere!

Ariana Green

Great ambiance, the decor is super aesthetic and the food is even better. The meat is so tender and juicy!

Alison Velchik

Delicious food, great coffee, and a delicious & tempting bakery attached. Always a good time with a peaceful atmosphere.

Pamela Forero Lozano

Amazing desserts and drinks. Food was really good too and the prices were very adequate. Definitely will come back

Alex Luboff

Whether just for baked goods or a full meal, a wonderful place to eat and drink.

Joe Schofield

I loved this place. I just came for breakfast but have to come back for lunch. The atmosphere is out of the Eastern European countryside and the breakfast dishes and coffee were amazing. I would've liked to see more options in the bakery, but still a nice selection. Be happy to come back another time.

Freya Wilk

Guglhupf has the best atmosphere inside and out of any restaurant in Durham and easily the best pastries. Delicious menu anytime of day. Perfect for a sunny summer brunch or a special indoor dinner. We love coming here.

Hans Rumble

Walking in and getting a seat was very easy. I sat upstairs on a pretty hot summer day and upstairs was noticeably hotter than where we walked in. There were ceiling fans spinning, but heat always just rises. This is the only negative item I've ever encountered here among several visits. That tells me that the food is THAT good to keep coming back! Not only that, I come back with new people!

Wayne Manning

No potatoes with breakfast of any kind. Please stop trying to be so fancy and serve real food. What I had was good but just so fake. There is something to be said for good food at A REAL PLACE and you have it half right. Look up Halls chophouse in Charleston SC . They are doing what your trying to.

S. Rosa

The whole family loved this place. First, the scenery is beautiful. Cute tiny man made pond with growing greenery (cabbage?). Thr decor inside is beautiful (see photos). We ordered the pork curried soup and it was delish! Even my tot loved it ! Hubby got the bratwurst with sauerkraut and loved it. The kids grilled cheese was definitely my favorite! It was ooey gooey goodness! My special order latte was perfect, including the foam art. We sat upside and it was just great. We will definitely return.

Kim Brown

I love the food and the coffee. And i live the atmosphere. I go as much as possible

Soutchay Labang

Service was great, food was ready in a reasonable amount of time even though it was busy, food was delicious. Seating was first come first serve and may be hard to find a spot if it gets extremely busy

Brenda Avery

Great food Eat in or out Really a neat place

Vito Wagner

Really busy at brunch. The seating concept was odd. You order at a counter and then try to find a table then they find you with your food. I'd rather you order and have a table. Food was good!

Steve Walker

Fantastic place for brunch on weekends... especially when the weather is nice!

Steve Wells

Lives up to the reputation. Cocktails are exceptional, food was great, and the service was also exceptional. The bread was some of the best that I have had around the world. Just wow.

Wenying Zhao

Their cakes are one of the best I've had! Smooth texture, not overly sweet. The price is very reasonable too!

Tomasz Haba

Lovely delicious local bakery. I really crave their pretzel bread. Good place to stop for Breakfast on the weekend. Always busy though so come prepared knowing you may stand in line to order and then may wait to find a place to sit.

Jesse Crisp-Sears

Fast to order, fast to sit, drinks came quickly with lunch soon after. Nice table upstairs. Everything was delicious. Nothing I didn't like about this place.

Dhaval Dedhia

An amazing German cafe. They've got some vegan options too. The ambience is great. The staff is amazing. There was a mix up with our order and the staff readily exchanged it. Do try the special German deserts. They have a great variety of drinks too. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Also, I'd recommend taking the Vietnamese cold coffee. Would definitely visit again if I'm in Durham.

Mark Darwin

Great food with a cool atmosphere. Staff was helpful on food suggestions. While we had no problems with wait, the line was quite long after we had gotten our food. Prices, while a little high, aren’t any worse than Panera and the food is better here.

Erik Newby

Beautiful spot with a nice bakery and coffee shop. Reminds me of my time in Europe. Upon arrival, you walk down a staircase with an outdoor water feature to your left with lots of covered outdoor seating. The interior has a unique layout with a very tall ceiling and whimsical artistic chandeliers. I had a cappuccino which was well prepared. Definitely want to come back and try their bread next.

ahgoodwin

One of my favorite restaurants in Durham. Beautiful outdoor seating, wonderful food, and an awesome bakery!

Jacob Stiglitz

We were there for their 8th annual mushroom dinner which was absolutely amazing!

Diadra Cooley

Great ambiance and the food and drinks were pretty darn good, too.

Kiana Cunningham

So I was at this place twice during my service year. Once with my aunt, another time with a friend. When was with my aunt I got a sausage dish. It was good but a bit pricey. I went for brunch and ordered the farmers omelet which and a coffee. It was about $12 when you account for tax. Then I went to the bakery side and ordered a delicious almond pastry. It was a treat so I wasn’t paying attention to price. A note for people who have celiac disease: the things with the green labels in the bakery are made without gluten ingredients but since it’s not a dedicated gluten free bakery there’s potential for cross contamination so order at your own risk. Same with the restaurant side: things labeled “wheat free” are made without gluten ingredients but may not be safe for celiacs.

Rob Woods

Looking for fresh baked bread that is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside? Looking for fruit tarts that have the correct ratio of butter crust, cream filling, and fruit topping? Aching for german treats and cookies? Then this is your only stop in Durham.

Nilesh Patel

Our favorite bread bakery in town. Their Parmesan-Black Pepper is our favorite and we stop by regularly on weekends to pick it up.

Stephen Hildebrand

Delicious German food and beautiful seating both inside and outside with speedy and friendly service. The bakery has many delicious pastries and German market items as well. One of my favorite spots in Raleigh/Durham! It has been here for decades and it isn't hard to see why.

Abdiel Santiago

Literally my go to place whenever I'm in the mood of perfection. Guglhupf never disappoints when you're looking for the perfect breakfast and or lunch. I recommend going for both and enjoy the symphony of flavors that only Guglhupf can offer.

Vana

Loved the cheese danish. They do it perfectly. Not too sweet and no junk filler

Bryan Suarez

Great food and vibe but service could be better.

Sabrina Pauli

The only place in Durham with decent bread. It would be great if there was a place to lock my bike.

Rocket Man

Free parking; limited spaces. Visible from traffic. Close to UNC/Hospital. 2 floors for seating; has/had an old piano upstairs and I had to play w/ on it; staff got a kick out of it. There's a bakery and sweets shop connected to it which is great. Now to the food: Delicious and Authentic. I came b/c my dad was a Soldier [RIP] and loved Germany's culture and food while stationed there; he wanted to return one day. So, I wanted to grant this wish somehow which led to the search/discovery of this gem. I picked him up and we were on the 1st "flight" to Germany... he lit up with humor. Upon arrival, he saw the name/menu and immediately said, "Do they have Pork Schnitzel's?" Let's just say when he bit into the Pork Schnitzel, memory lane just flowe; stories I'd never heard. I requested the Chicken Schnitzel and we both enjoyed the meal. #IwillforeverbeINDEBTED to this wonderful place. Everything is amazing. Food. Service. Atmosphere. Everything!

Jenny Baas

The food was fine but I really didn't like the set up. You get in a long line to place your order at the register. Then you find a seat somewhere. Then they bring you your food. I guess it was supposed to be a take out place? It got kinda hectic looking for a place to sit. There's an upstairs, inside and outside seating.

Erica Eason

Adorable cafe/brunch spot. There are many beautiful windows with natural light, fun artistic pieces to check out inside and delicious vegetarian options! I loved having brunch with a friend here and will definitely be back.

Stanley Kong

Beside the atmosphere, the experience was really meh. Went on a Friday for lunch, ordered the clam soup special which the menu stated $11.95, but got charged for $13. Not a big amount of money, but still why?!! Asked the cashier who took the order and he had to go through the manager to price adjust which took a bit of time... when the entree came out, there was no baguette, which was also stated on the menu. When I asked the staff, she said it doesn’t come with the entree but she could bring me some. Which she eventually did when I was almost done with my meal. Not sure if that was just a one-time thing or maybe I should not have ordered the daily special on menu. Either way, the experience was not good.

William Schmoker

If you have not been here you owe it to yourself to go, my favorite is the Cherry cream cheese danish and they sell them by the half dozen at a discount! I remember having some sort of fish dish there, it was really tasty, as well as one morning I had pancakes there, they were good One can sit outside and listen to the waterfalls or the rain on the plexiglass roof as they enjoy their delicious treats or you can go to the second floor inside and enjoy the warmth at the Pinnacle of the room and the delicious smells that waft up there

John Hampton

When we visited on Saturday morning, Guglhupf was hoppin'. Tons of people, including us, enjoying tasty, well-prepared food and coffee drinks better than *bucks. Yet, despite the crush, we were able to place our orders, be seated, and be served in a very reasonably short time. Everyone was pleasant. We three had muesli, which was cool, creamy, smooth, and delicious; the salmon plate featuring sliced salmon, vollkornbrot, salad, and cornichons; and the farmer's omelette: eggs, sausage, and caramelized onions. Try their seasonal coffee drinks; the fig and pepper latte was heavenly. Just go.

G Per

We really enjoyed brunch at Guglhupf. We had eggs Benedict, eggs Arnold, and the omelet. All were wonderful. The meals came with a side order of fruit, which is greatly appreciated. 2 of us also each got a mocha latte, which was a real treat. Beside the restaurant is a bakery with breads and desserts. We tried 3 of the desserts all of which were excellent. This is a very casual restaurant. You order at a counter, fetch your own utensils and water, and then go find a table and your order is brought to you. It can get very noisy. We had a bit of difficulty finding an open bussed table. Our food was delivered very promptly. I would return!

Adrian o Anellie

Love. Coming here on Saturday for breakfast

Aubergine Smith

Great bread and pastries! Lovely atmosphere. Bring back the muesli dish from 10 years ago which was less sweet and less cinnamon-y. It was more authentically German and yummier.

Aaron Fisher

Really cool ambience and great food. Also top notch service. Our food was taking a little longer to get out while we were there, so they proactively gave us complimentary desserts and drinks. We never said anything about the wait (honestly had only barely noticed)--they did this all on their own. It shows they really care about their customers and the experience they have while there.

Heather McCleery Hamm

Amazing. Saw it on a TV show years ago and finally found myself close enough to make a run. Totally recommend it.

Ben Brown

Good food and a nice atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor dining areas. The chocolate croissant and turkey panini were great. The eggs Benedict were also good.

K Birk

Went here for brunch. Great food. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The staff was very nice and friendly. Bloody Mary was very good, definitely use fresh horseradish which I love! They also had a great selection of pastries that were fantastic! Definitely will be coming back here again in the future.

Thomas Clark

Combining schnitzel with gravy was a stroke of genius

Sheau Ng

Great atmosphere. Chic but not overly so. We came during at 1:40pm on a weekday, so traffic was almost non-existing. Good music, chic decor. Wonderful meal.

William Bailey

Well, I'm not a fan of the restaurant, BUT, fantastic bread at the bakery. FANTASTIC!

Rachel Walsh

This place is the cutest thing I've ever seen! If you need a break from the fast paced city, you can catch your breath as soon as you hit the parking lot here. It's a perfect country Cafe that have everything you could ever ask for!

Daniel M

Wedding Cake- Guglhupf made our wedding cake for a September 2019 wedding in Durham and they did an amazing job! All of our vendors were great, but Guglhupf went above and beyond for our tasting, to helping coordinate delivery of the florist's flowers for additional decoration, to delivery on the day-of! 5/5, use them!

Katharine Sublett

Great place with the great atmosphere and delicious food.

Greg Adams

Sunday brunch was just okay. I had the Eggs Benedict and it didn't excite me, really enjoy a "lemony" hollandaise which theirs was not. Patio is still a great place to sit, a lot of families out there just letting the kids run wild. Having said all that, I am sure we'll go back.

Kyra Malone

We love guglhupf. Great for coffee and treats, even better for date night. Beautiful setting and tasty food!!

Anslie Noelle

The pastries I tried were great! I intend on visiting again to enjoy a full breakfast! Definitely brings a lovely piece of Deutschland back to NC!

Tig B

Great atmosphere, really good food, solid cocktails, would have liked to see larger portion sizes

K Castor

Beautiful outdoor patio, amazing bakery & food

Leonard Mole

Good food, great ambiance...may be a little on the pricey side.

Bijan Mazumder

Nice food good service .

Grace Dodge

Pastries are delicious, food is yummy as all get out. My best recommendation is the iced Vietnamese coffee— sweet creamy perfection. It’s expensive for a student budget but worth the occasional splurge :)

Kate Murray

Great vegan options, beautiful setting, and outstanding service!

Kiran Greer

Guglhupf takes on different personas for lunch and dinner. Lunch/brunch is a casual order at the cash register and take a number so the wait staff can deliver your food. The only place to get drinks, though, is directly across from the cash register. Be prepared if you go upstairs to find seating because you will have to go back downstairs to get a refill. The selections are delicious. At night it becomes a typical restaurant with waiter service. The food is everything from vegan to German fare. But be sure to visit the bakery just opposite the entrance to the restaurant. Wonderful delicasies that you will not find anywhere else

olivia korman

Beautiful atmosphere, inside and out. Good authentic German food. Great drinks.

BTW Marketing

Delicious Ruben and Boozy Limeaid!

Luane Eldridge

The bakery is amazing. I loved the omelets. I enjoy breakfast here.

M. P.

Awesome. Lemon Thyme (honey? Maybe) cake pergect balance not too grassy/herby or tart, almond chewy tart delightful, black forest like a filled popover, foccacia tomato cheese - a little tough but very tasty, cinnamon schneke (snail, i learned) tasty a bit crumbly substantial

Joan Greer

Excellent food and unique outdoor seating. Arrive early for Sunday mornings!

Stephen Nicholas

We really enjoyed our lattes and Danish! They had a robust food menu we didn't explore. Their are open for all three meals. They have a large area inside and out for seating.

Tom Callaway

Such a wonderful little place, tucked into a hollow. Great breakfast, friendly staff, never disappoints.

H. Gilbert Smith

Excellent selection of German beers; tasty food; good atmosphere, indoors and out.

Ashley Ruffead

Great food and service. I had the pork medallions which were great. When they say small plate they aren't kidding so do be mindful of that when ordering. There were seven of us and they handled the slightly larger group well and everyone else seemed to really like their dishes. The menu is a spiffy spin on German food so don't expect 100% authentic dishes across the board, but the food is great.

Chris Hurst

This place is legit. My family and I have visited for years and have never once been disappointed.

Tim

Some of the most authentic German food I have had outside of Germany and my mother's or Oma's kitchen. Highly recommend.

Robby Crownover

This place is a gem! The menu had Germany written all over it without being typical of the usual ethnicnally- themed restaurant. The breads are outstanding and plentiful. The service was spot on. The food lives up to the yummy descriptions without being overstepped by the moderate prices.

James Sauls

I ordered a chicken sandwich with avocado. Very little chicken on this sandwich!!! The restaurant was clean and the staff was nice. I wasn’t impressed with the food

Adam Drissel

Very few options for people who don't eat pork. If you're looking for "normal" food, this is not the place for you. Definitely much more culture-specific.

Santosh Marupilla

Ordered a Black Forest special b'day cake for my wife from this place. The cake looked good but the cherries within the cake are not that great. Little pricey.

Dan Coroian

One of my favorite local spots! The bakery has the best French pastries (and German bread) that I know of in the area, by far. Note that is strictly German-style (and perhaps ciabatta) breads -- their baguette is not a true baguette and leaves much to be desired, but there are so many other items that are amazingly well-made that you hardly miss it. The cafe has great deli items for e.g. sandwiches or a bread plate (so-called "brotzeit"), as you would expect from any reasonably authentic German place. Oh also -- a pretty decent selection of imported German beer is available for purchase both to dine in (at the cafe) and take home with you (from the bakery). That's a highlight I definitely recommend!

John Fortini

Excellent food and really extensive grog list! Had the schnitzel which was awesome. Highly recommend checking this place out if in the area! They have a great bakery as well. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. We sat upstairs, but any place to sit has a great atmosphere.

Jeremy Springman

Amazing outdoor seating and amazing food. Reasonably priced, great beer/cocktails.

Kwabena Aikins

The flounder fish burger was excellent. Will be going back

Jeff Goff

Wonderful German cuisine. Friendly staff. You can't go wrong, eating inside or out if the weather is right. Great atmosphere.

Tim Wadkins

Fantastic atmosphere with an excellent selection of German bier!

Ashley Mariconti

Great food and beer. Can go wrong. But wow, the table service is very frustrating. Waiting ten minutes to be greeted, 15 minutes for the check! Will only be sitting at the bar from now on. Very unenjoyable.

Amanda Wilkins

Very tasty restaurant. They are mindful of food allergies and are Austrian-approved. The pastry case was full of tasty-looking cakes and my mocha was perfect. I had the market salad and the mixture of fresh lettuce and goat cheese was satisfying. The ambiance was interesting and engaging, even if just a bit crowded. You have to order at the counter, but there is some table service. The servers were helpful and understanding about the restaurant's intricacies.

Kevin Allen

Great setting and really accommodating staff. Excellent selection of German drafts. Menu items varied from great to just so-so. Melon salad and pork croquettes were out of this world!

Alena Van Dalen

This is such a fun little restaurant with amazing outdoor seating. They've really upped their game in the past few years. The chicken pesto sandwich is fantastic.

Quinton O'Connor

It's pricey but it's worth it. The lunch fare is bested only by the dinner fare. Splurge on the schnitzel and your taste buds won't regret it. (Your waistline might. But shh.) Guglhupf's baked goods are second to none in the Durham area and their variety of cheeses are not to be missed. A friend of mine just turned a year older and there was no questioning it -- we picked up desserts from Guglhupf without a second thought. Check it out sometime. But bring some real cash when you do.

Brad Martin

Great atmosphere, food and service

Cumhur Yuce

Great coffee. The location is also awesome. There's great parking availability on site and the seating inside is great.

Linda Manning

Excellent Sunday brunch. Not a wait for a table and food was out quick. Friendly staff and great eggs Benedict. Amazing pastries not to be missed!

Jacqueline Kumar

Solid brunch! Just be prepared, because it does get very busy on the weekends, and parking and tables can be a challenge. The eggs are great, the pancakes are great, I just steer clear of the desserts :(. I don’t like mousse, and all the chocolate stuff is mousse-like. Some of the other pastries are kinda dry.

Yin chong Boey

Lovely and quaint place for a meal! Love the coffee and sandwiches..!! My son's recommendation!!

Sarah Watson

Come for breakfast or dinner and you will not be disappointed. Try dinner on the patio in the summer when lit up with sting lights or breakfast on the third floor surrounded by paper chandeliers. You will not be disappointed!

Sarah Catherine

Fantastic ambience and food. Vegan menu is wonderful, service is great, and decor is gorgeous. Have enjoyed dinner here many times and the food is very consistent.

Ryan Kelley

This place is a nightmare. Everything about it is tiny and loud. The staff are miserable. Hell on Earth would be a better name for this place. The surrounding area is full of rude people and is awful to drive in. Avoid this place at all costs. The food is disgusting looks like it was made by a child raised on Mars.

Sherri Jutz

A delicious chai tea, satisfying salads and great daily brunch menu

Linda McLaughlin

This place is EXCELLENT. The best food I've had in the Raleigh-Durham area. I had the Alsace tart & it was TO DIE FOR. The fruit tart for dessert was very good as well.

Jess Petersen

A beautiful restaurant with great vegan options and fantastic service! One of my favorite spots in the area.

Michelle Gonzales-Green

Beautiful place. Outside and inside seating is lovely. Pastries and lunch are always on point. Take visitors here for a lovely lunch together.

Maria Darlington

Menu difficult to understand. Canned music too loud. Waiter very courteous and helpful. Food?

Elizabeth Velez

The food was great! If you never ate German food, this food would not disappoint you. Authentic food as close you can get. The waiter recommended the brotzeit pick 3 appetizers which is a multiple selection from veggie side hummus to black ham. A great way to start a meal.

Gemmamiah201

A wonderful setting and really good coffee and pastries. the breakfast is also very good. I would advise trying baked goods from the bakery. The only issue is the parking on the weekends.

JohnMark Ingaran

Good food, nice spot to have brunch. Not crazy about waiting in line to order though.

Nick Tschernia

Charming spot, as you walk in down the side steps you feel like you're entering a little nook with a creek on the country side. Order up-front and sit where you please. No frills, straightforward and wholesome food.

James Fox

The food and bakery are certainly amazing, but the architecture and fabrication of the building is better than most at galleries. The entire place is art, it is worth a visit just to grab a coffee or pastry and discover all the little details.

Garrett Clement

Awesome café and bakery! I ordered cafe au lait and their eggplant panini with German potato salad. The coffee was great and the food was good. My only complaint with my sandwich was that the eggplant was extremely tough and difficult to bite off, especially when you're fighting the stretchy mozzarella on it. The German potato salad was some of the best I've had in a while. It was very different from and I've had back home; it's acidic, but kind of sweet. It's extremely balanced. My friend purchased the reuben; we traded half of our sandwiches so we got to try both. Her reuben was one of the best things I've tasted in Durham. The corned beef wasn't excessively salty and the sauerkraut didn't stink. After we finished our meals we headed to the bakery. They have a large selection of breads and pastries at very reasonable prices. We purchased a yellow macaron and a coral macaron. The yellow was a vanilla honey flavor and the coral was peach amaretto. They were both delicious; light and flaky, but chewy and tasty. Definitely a good dessert option after a meal there. I purchased a cheese danish but have not tried it yet since we've been in town all day, but I bet it's phenomenal.

Sheryl Guterl

Outdoor patio friendly to dogs. Delicious food, reasonable prices!

Laura Bonin

ATMOSPHERE & FLAVOR = Five stars. Even the aromas in the veranda were so lovely and fresh, there’s no where quite like this. Our iced chai was nutty and creamy. The charcuterie plate was super rich, a variety of flavor for the palate: lemony, tart, savory, pickled, sweet freshness, such variety and with beautiful presentation! I loved people watching here. We will be back to try the fruit tart & other French desserts we saw peeps noshing on. Also saw a big German soft pretzel that looked SO yummy. This place will stand out in my memory; it’s a must-check-out kind of a cafe & bar!

Mikayla Myers

1st time trying German food and this was DELICIOUS. Had dinner here and the service was exceptional, very attentive staff + our waiter and it seemed like a team effort was given by all staff to support every table. Looking forward to coming back and trying breakfast, brunch and lunch and desserts! The inside and outside is GORGEOUS, cocktails and cider were superb!

Naomi Alston

Excellent spot for coffee, baked goods and Sunday brunch! Nice relaxing inside and outside seating! Bakery attached for fresh breads and other selections! Great gem in Durham!

Don Smart

Great taste breakfast and coffee. Croissants are delicious; just savory enough without the overpowering butter rush. Farmers omelet, roast beef a jus, avocado with tomato and Chile on a croissant, pancakes for the kids, French press coffee, cappuccino, and chai. Definately a go to for us as newcomers to this area.

Molly Stone

It's a beautiful place, and the food is good. But, it's way too expensive to be quite as "self-serve" as it is. Especially when it is so terribly crowded, like on a Sunday at brunch time. I had a delicious tomato salad, and it was pretty. However, it was also $15.

Juli

One of the most authentic German places I've eaten in the US. A bit boujee. Great for a special night. The outside seating area is gorgeous and more casual during the day.

Jason Lazarus

Even my youngest can appreciate the brilliance of the ‘Hupf! Perfectly done German-American fare with German bier. There is an attached bakery for your brot and Berliner. The outdoor Biergarten is very pleasant when the weather is nice. They occasionally do special pairing dinners and events. Reservations recommended.

Caroline B

This is an adorable cafe. The outdoor seating is magical, with lots of plants catching the light, fountains, and German decorations. I adore this place!! The bakery, which you can buy at and then bring your treat to the tables to eat, has delicious muffins. The only bad thing is that occasionally they are open but don't have any menu open at that time, like around 5pm, and you can only get a limited choice of items like cheese platters.

Margaret Nifong

Great food, coffee, service and atmosphere.

Preeti Singh

Great Place to take my clients for breakfast.

Karl Muessig

Absolutely the best. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere with delicious food.

Brian Hill

Guglhupf is a fantastic Cafe and bakery. Both the drinks and food that I've gotten from here have been great, but the real selling point is the atmosphere. it has an interesting combination of Asian and German inspired aesthetic pieces. If you are looking for an interesting brunch place in the Durham area then this is it.

Kim Boomhower

The ambiance is quite lovely. Perfect spot for outdoor brunch. Everything I've tried there has been amazing, especially the pastries and bread, of course.

WA MENG

Food was good, and it’s a great place to hangout with friends or family.

Mounica Eamani

I really don’t like the food. I tried different dishes over there, especially I want to talk about the pasta that doesn’t look like pasta it’s more like a dumpling with some soup. And that tastes awful. only Hummus tastes good among all the dishes.

Danielle Voigt

Love their breakfast selection and coffee.

Jim Howard

Food and atmosphere are good, prices are a bit much for what you get.

Greg G

Great pastries, amazing tea selection

David Van Wagener

Lunch was very tasty . I had the knackwurst with potato salad. The sweet peppers were well seasoned. The knackwurst properly cooked. The spaetzle roll was excellent. The schniztel and gazpacho were ordered by others and they liked them as well. When the weather is nice, as it was today, they have a pleasant outdoor garden.

Ley D nt

Their tarts are great but way too expensive. The Chapel Hill location has absolutely nowhere to sit— they need to relocate as parking is cramped here too, and dangerous. Their breads are excessively dry and that is a comment based on multiple attempts at paying ridiculous prices for stuff that we throw out to the chickens basically.

Prescott Plumlee

Have only been a few times and only for the Sunday breakfast. We like it. Only disappointment was the food we ordered was missing ingredients because they were out of them... Understandable, except no one told us they were out when we ordered. Could have sent it back so I appreciated that. I didn't. It was still very good.

Mark Gilmore

Great food in a steampunk atmosphere. I absolutely love the patio.

Aeron Tynes Hammack

Amazing and authentic modern German food

Luc LaBonte

What ruined our experience was when my partner told me that she witnessed an employee use the restroom and return to the kitchen without washing her hands. In honesty, the food was fairly tasty and appropriately priced but we will likely not return due to the hygiene discrepancy.

Whitney B

We love Guglhupf for breakfast with our little ones. It's so nice to find a place where you can get a great breakfast with quick service and a lovely outdoor ambiance. The vanilla latte's are delicious and our girls love the little cookies they come with. Definitely try the pancakes! and if you're looking for a sweet...chocolate torte.

Ali Roberts

This place is amazing! My family is from Germany and has been looking for a real authentic restaurant in the area and Guglhupf definitely offers this! The atmosphere is beautiful, service is awesome, and there are lots of food options! The bakery is also really cool and well priced. I will definitely be coming back here:)
