Tis the season! The elves are hard at work preparing our Weihnacht’s Stollen. This hand-crafted creation is THE traditional German treat filled with delicious fruits, nuts and spices, and covered with powdered sugar.

Our stollen is Dresdner-style, and is truly one of our signature items of the year.

We offer our large stollen, beautifully wrapped and packed in a gift box, for shipping anywhere in the continental US. We also ship bulk stollen orders, called ‘plain wrap’.  And of course you can also order for pickup in the Bakery in Durham or the Bake Shop in Chapel Hill.

The Bakery will have plenty of lovely Holiday specialties for your table. Check out the christmas bakery menu. To ensure availability, please place your orders by 4pm on Friday 12/21. After the deadline, items will be available on a first come-first served basis.

If you have your heart set on a specific dessert or bread, you’ll want to pre-order to ensure availability.

When two worlds collide, and it’s a good thing! Breakfast + Lunch = Brunch, now everyday until 3pm. Check out the new Daytime Menu… and come have breakfast for lunch whenever you want…or the other way around!

 

With our new bar as the focal point connecting the patio with the indoor dining area, we are shifting our focus to a more casual ‘Biergarten’ style of dining at Guglhupf during evening hours. Read more about it in this N&O article.

The beverage menu features 12 taps, our signature craft cocktails, and an expanded selection of scotch, whiskey and locally distilled spirits. Our wine list continues its exploration of Germany and Austria, rounded out with remarkable small-producers from around the globe.

Our expanded dinner menu includes Brotzeit (lit. trans. “Bread time”), which is a traditional German evening dining style emphasizing breads, charcuterie, cheeses, smoked and marinated fish, and savory spreads. Brotzeit will be available from 3pm on, and flow into the dinner menu.

Overall, you’ll find even more options to mix and match … a plethora of tasting plates perfect for sharing, our popular classics, and delectable desserts… all perfectly suited for enjoying the outdoor patio biergarten-style, or dining at a cozy table inside.
