This place reminded me of a German Cafe we visited a few years ago in Austria. The outdoor seating is quite picturesque of an authentic German restaurant in Bavaria. The food is delicious and served by pleasant waitstaff. Instructions are posted on accessing your utensils, drink additives and condiments. Great variety of food fare to please the hungry, the Vegan, the gluten-free and healthy choices person. Wide variety of beverages from teas and coffees to cold brews and crafts. Indoor and very spacious outdoor seating with natural plants and attractive overhead cover included with fans to lower the temperature when outdoor dining. Very busy for brunch. A plus is the bakery to take home some scrumptious delicacies after dining.

An incredible place. While the service is odd (you just order and are served — no service past that), it creates a unique atmosphere that I actually enjoyed. A beautiful place that I could sit in for hours. And the food… the food! After tonight’s meal, the Wurst Teller, Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, and an incredible “blackberry smores desert”, if I were to die today it would be without regret. Cannot recommend enough

We attended a special event and found the place to be uniquely beautiful. We were indoors with cool lighting and chandeliers, but the outdoor setting is the real popular spot. It is huge with pergolas, sun sails, umbrellas and natural floral covering to protect from the sun. There are different choices of seating outside from tables, to high tops and picnic benches. I love the patio furniture and colorful benches and rockers available to sit in also. Then there’s the menu which is so different than the usual fare at most restaurants. Yes, some German foods, but don’t shy away if you’re not a German food fan. It is a must to stop in the Bakery. This has to be the best Bakery I have seen in a very long time! The fruit tart, chocolate tart are killers. But the bread choices are amazing, too. Probably my fave so far (I’ll be trying more) is the lemon pistachio scone.

Guglhupf was a different experience – I think I would have enjoyed it more if I would have brought a book and ordered a beer. It was 0830, but I’ll take a page out of the book from Belgium and bring it to this German bakery. It would be a nice place to hangout, read, and sip on a nice Hefe in the biergarten.

The ambience outside and the spacious outdoor areas were inviting. There was a very strong smell of some bleach or chemical as soon as we entered the cafe that put us off from ordering anything. Probably a one off incident. Hope the management will note this and maybe use a plant based cleaner for their needs.

The wife found this gem online and I went in not knowing anything about the place. The restaurant is unique in a great way. We loved the order window setup and outdoor seating! The guy at the counter had great people skills and helped us out for our first time. She got the the potato tart which tastes just like if you ordered it in the Bavarian country side! I got the lamb doner which is so far….the best I’ve had anywhere on the planet! The ingredients were fresh and more importantly local and outstanding quality! My plate is empty in the photo because it was so good, I sucked it down like a vacuum lol

Guglhupf is a really popular place to go for breakfast, coffee, brunch, lunch, dinner and beer! ANYTIME is a good time here! I came here for Sunday brunch and it was CROWDED! But, the line moved quickly. The patio is SO spacious and FUN to hang out! It’s a great place for all ages. We had pancakes, bacon, croissants, danishes, muffins and brezels! Everything was really delicious. I highly recommend Guglhupf!
