Guglhupf Bakery & Cafe

The Triangle


We like this superior German-style bakery and cafe for lunch, when skirt-steak sandwiches with blue cheese, homemade bratwurst on sub rolls and vegan mushroom salads bring an upbeat crowd to the sunny patio. Add a German pilsner and a chocolate-mousse tart – with salted caramel – and call it a day.
