Guglhupf Bake Shop
1800 E Franklin St, Chapel Hill, NC
Crema's Take
“Guglhupf is a bright, meticulously clean bakery-café hybrid where the pastries steal the show—think buttery croissants and creative savory danishes that locals genuinely hunt for. Beyond the exceptional baked goods, there's a welcoming coffee bar with both traditional and specialty drinks, making it perfect for a leisurely pastry-and-espresso moment or a quick morning grab before heading out. The team, particularly manager Justin, brings a genuine warmth that matches the modern, hip atmosphere and keeps regulars coming back.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu.
