Guglhupf Bakery, Cafe & Biergarten

Guglhupf is an innovative bakery, cafe and biergarten with a reputation for outstanding artisanship and attention to quality. We serve contemporary cuisine with a nod to our southern German roots, emphasizing local and seasonal ingredients.

Having grown up in Germany with farmer's markets and an abundance of local food purveyors such as bakers, butchers, cheese shops, local farmers and green grocers, Claudia Kemmet-Cooper, Guglhupf's co-founder and owner, learned early on that food was so much more than just sustenance.Meal times were communal, and foods were carefully sought out and prepared by the women in her family.

Welcome to the Guglhupf Caf & Biergarten, where local and seasonal ingredients are prepared with a contemporary southwestern German twist. Our eclectic, architecturally striking building and garden patio are the perfect backdrop for a casual yet unique dining experience with friends & family. Come check out our expanded daytime caf menu, featuring our full range of brunch menu options every day of the week!

Dinner is back! We have expanded hours for the Cafe for outdoor dining, and welcome you to join us on the patio! Please note that we are only seating outside on our expanded patio at this time. And, we are unable to take reservations since we don't have alternate seating in the case of inclement weather.

We truly feel we returned to our roots with the Chapel Hill Bake Shop.'cause it's all about the bakery! It's 1,250 square feet of the Guglhupf breads, pastries, desserts and savory baked goods you love and about the size of the retail area in Durham. Everything is made fresh in our Durham bakery and brought to Chapel Hill throughout the day.like a Carolinas version of Handwerksbckereien in Germany!
