Guglhupf Bakery in Durham is a charming bakery with a cozy and welcoming ambiance. The Dirty Chai is delightful, perfectly spiced and smooth. The Eggs Benedict is also quite tasty, made with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The service is great, making the overall experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for a relaxing breakfast or brunch.

I see why this place is so popular...the baked goods are magnificent! This was my first trip to the Durham location and boy did I pick the wrong time to visit. It is packed on Sundays during the church rush. Nonetheless, I found a parking spot (since they have a lot of spaces) and stood in the outdoor line to order. Pastries are available to-go at the indoor counter with little to no line. Although it was a hot, humid day, I did prefer ordering at the outdoor counter and eating at a table inside as opposed to full table service. Thankfully menus were available at a couple receptacles outside. That way you are ready to order when you reach the counter. After ordering and paying, we received a number and found a table upstairs. We chose to sit inside mainly due to the heat and loud music playing outside. The outdoor seating area, however, looks beautiful with the overarching vines. Our food arrived faster than expected and everything was accurate. We enjoyed all of the items and brought most of it home since the portions are large. To-go containers, utensils, napkins, and water were all located nearby (self-serve). I particularly recommend the spicy tofu sandwich, almond schnecke, and hummingbird muffin. The sandwich was served on a perfect pretzel roll. Overall, excellent place for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner based on the food quality, price, portions, and friendly employees. I'm looking forward to returning to enjoy some of their other menu items!

Really fantastic German restaurant to go to! Loved the quirky yet comforting feel of the restaurant. I loved that it had two stories and had plentiful amounts of seating. The wood construction and high ceilings really made you feel like you were at a German pub in Bavaria. I got the Teller Wurst and it was delicious! The sausages were plump and juicy, yet had a delicious snap to them when you cut into them. The braised cabbage had just enough vinegar to cut through the richness of the sausage. I loved the spaetzle. Made for a delicious side of carbs that isn't your traditional mashed potatoes or rice. Service was good overall. The waitress was cheerful and helpful, but being on the second floor, sometimes it can be difficult to get their attention. But overall, still a wonderful place that I would love to come back to in order to try more items :)

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.

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.

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.

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.
