Guglhupf draws on German baking traditions for pretzels, seasonal cakes, breads, and a pastry case built for a leisurely morning. The bakery sits beside the restaurant and garden, so a quick bread run can easily become coffee or brunch. Its long Durham tenure gives the operation a lived-in rhythm that matches the European flavors.

Claudia Kemmet-Cooper opened this Durham bakery and cafe in 1998, and INDY Week covered the biergarten menu and the custom steel and wood bar she added on the twentieth anniversary, with twelve German and local beers on tap. The brotzeit board runs from mid afternoon until late with meats, cheeses, house pates and bratwurst and knackwurst. Raleigh Magazine points to the spacious garden patio and to southwestern German cooking. Order the brotzeit board with a German draft under the trees.
