What People Are Saying About Guglhupf Cafe

In Short – Scrumptious sandwiches, salads, and more done only as Guglhupf can in Old World style that's appealing and refreshing. They've got their own two-story building that enhances your European-style experience. Brunch is a lively occasion and you can choose from healthy (home-baked granola) to hearty (smoked salmon or eggs benedict). Sandwiches, salads and platters plus bread basket all have a tinge of European flair. A carefully considered selection of beers and wines are available.

German Bakery/Cafe at it's finest!

by magpiewench at Citysearch

Guglhupf's bakery is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach! Gorgeous pastries, tempting breads, and tasty bretzels.

If you can, go early in the day, by late afternoon, the selection is often very small, especially on Sundays after 2pm.

In the cafe, they have yummy sandwiches and soups! check the LCD screen for daily specials. If you like cucumbers at all, get the cucumber salad. Another favorite is the bratwurst on bretzel sub with saurkraut.

Be aware, it's very crowded at lunch, and around noon on weekends.

Sunday brunch menu is tasty! if you've got more than 2 people, go ahead and get a brunch bread basket, as well, it'll get eaten!

  • Pros: super tasty food, made by people who care
  • Cons: sometimes difficult to get a seat, can be crowded when it's nice outside, inside seating is loud.

Long lines, good food

by envpolicyguy at Citysearch

Be prepared to stand in line for a while, but it is almost always worth it. Guglhupf operates a cafeteria-style dining room with great sandwiches, salads, etc. I appreciate the fact that they serve reasonable portions, rather than dumping pounds of food on my plate, particularly because that means I usually have room for dessert. Their chocolate and apple tarts are wonderful.

A positively wonderful / relaxing experience

by spirit_dancer01 at Citysearch

I took my father-in-law to this place. My mother-in-law heard about it in a magazine up in PA. My father-in-law was impressed as was I. The food was absolutely out of this world. The atmosphere is extremely comfortable and inviting. The kind of place you can just 'linger' in. Have some lunch... sit a while and finish up with some dessert. I will definately be back and can't wait to treat my husband to this 'rare' find! He has been looking for a good rueben and know I know just where to get it! My father-in-law had the schnitzel and found it to be of the best quality he has ever had. I had the BEST turkey sandwich ever. The bread was wonderful and the cucumbers were a nice touch to the sandwich. We also had dessert, I'm clueless as to what it was other than it was shaped like a shrimp (only larger) or half moon and covered by almonds. Each end was dipped in chocolate. It was very light yet sinfully good. I will definately be back and soon!

  • Pros: The Ambience and food are well worth any of the Cons.
  • Cons: Finding the place was a little difficult but well worth the hunt!
