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.

I can't say enough good things about Guglhupf. We just dropped in to see what they had as we hadn't been before. I got 2 almond croissants, 2 chocolate croissants, and 2 spinach and feta danishes to take home. The croissants are huge and absolutely perfect, but surprisingly the spinach and feta danishes were my favorite. The flavor was incredible and they are so flaky. The prices were so good as well. I recently moved to the area and almond croissants at my local bakery were double the cost and not as big or delicious. They really know what they're doing at Guglhupf. The person behind the counter was very nice and personable as well. Can't wait to come back and find a new favorite thing!

So happy to see this spot reopened after the flooding and looking better than ever!! Super clean, organized and great staff. The manager Justin always is so kind and the wait time even when there is a line is always very short. Highly recommended the cinnamon schnecke! And the chocolate chip cookie of course. The bread can be sliced as well - I get the merkhorn which is 75% rye.

Fantastic bakery with a huge selection of sweet and savory items, plus a nice coffee bar. There’s a bit of indoor and outdoor seating but I usually go for taking home goodies. I appreciate that they have challahs too. Recommend going in the mornings on weekdays, the line is never that bad.

Really like the big restaurant in Durham, but this little place is great add! It’s so convenient in the morning for a cup of coffee with a wonderful bun, croissant or tart! great service! such friendly guys working! The coffee is made quickly and very tasty! It's just a pity that they don't have at least a few tables outside.

Delicious fresh bakery. Good atmosphere. I'm always on the lookout for a good croissant, and this was pretty good! Best I've had in chapel Hill for sure. The facility is very clean and hip/modern with a vintage style. The bread harkens back to a simpler time with quality ingredients and friendly service. Try the ham and cheese Pretzel!!
