Review:

You do not have to be able to pronounce its name to fall in love with Guglhupf. This exciting café, patisserie, and bakery located on a commercial strip of the Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd will take you by surprise: it features modern touches with exposed beams, lots of steel, a waterfall feature, at the entrance and yet the dining room and patio areas are incredibly cozy. The wonderful aromas are perhaps reminiscent of a different era. You’ll be struck by the smell of homemade hot bread, fresh brewed coffee, and vanilla cake cooling on the windowsill.

This incredibly popular German-influenced eatery offers Central European delights like pork schnitzel and house-smoked sausages, but most people come for the cakes and breads. Once you try their guglhupf, you will find the word much easier to pronounce because you’ll never forget the wonderful taste.
