Guglhupf Bakery — Restaurant in Durham

From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a display case filled with an array of delectable treats, making it hard to choose just one. (I’ve made it a personal mission to try something new each time I pop in and haven’t met anything I haven’t liked yet!) 😂

Some of my all-time favorite treats from this bakery are the lemon bars. They are the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, with a buttery crust that just melts in your mouth. I could easily eat a whole tray of these in one sitting, they are that good.

Personal faves: bretzel Sammie, tofy sandwich, salad with protein of ur choice, schnitzel with gravy and egg, any pastry but especially the lemon or passionfruit curd...

I love the lemon earl grey scone they have now with pops of lemon and bits of sweetness. So yummy! Also, I had some of my son’s passion fruit danish and almost wished I had that treat instead. The flavors are delicious. I have never been disappointed with any of the pastries. Even the coffee is great and sometimes that seems to be a forgotten aspect at some bakeries. The staff is always attentive and friendly. The line moves quickly. So thrilled with my experience here. It’s no wonder why they are always talked about as the...
