Editorial Review for Guglhupf Bakery – by Kelly Ferguson
In Short
A quick turn off Chapel Hill Boulevard is all it takes to visit an Old World bakery. The space is cozy and warm, perfumed by the world's oldest aromatherapy. Some customers grab a quick coffee and pastry at a stand-up table, but most take their crinkly white packages home. Among the vast array of breads available are Copenhagen multigrain, volken and classic crusty Tuscan bread. Specialties include brezel and Guglhupf, the bakery's namesake bread.

I cannot say enough good things about Guglhupf. Their breakfasts are great and so are their lunches. I don't even know where to start with the bakery items. I'm not a huge fan of pastries or breads, but when I walk in there, I can't help myself. I want to try one of everything. It's a great atmosphere and a beautiful space for lunch with some friends or colleagues. You won't be disappointed.
Pros: Delicious food!
Cons: Somewhat confusing ordering/cashier line.

I am new to the area and was really excited to try this place because I love good European style breads. I admit I am a total bread snob and I look for the best bakery everywhere I go. I thought Guglhupf was disappointing. I first tried a baguette and a croissant, thinking those should be good basic representations. The baguette was too fluffy - nothing special at all. The croissant tasted good, but was really greasy. Then, I figured, it's a German bakery, so why was I getting French stuff? So I went back and got brezels and rolls. Eh. Still not that exciting. It's a cute place, with a nice outdoor area, and maybe the food and pastries are good, but to me a good European style bakery's got to have a great baguette. Still searching....
