For the flakiest, most divine Danishes you would normally find in Germany, head over to Guglhupf Bakery and Patisserie in Durham, NC.
The poppy seed Danish, a classic for Deutschland, tastes as wonderful as those made in Germany. It is absolutely delicious. There are also almond-filled Danish, though this examiner opts for the poppy seeds.
And the fruit Danishes, well, just to-die-for. The lightly-sweetened cheese filling adds richness and creaminess to the pastry. A gentle brushing of the sugar glaze rounds out the flavors.
The pretzel rolls or laugen broetchen, are exactly like those in the carts along German streets and shops. Mm, the ones covered in cheese are sufficient for a light lunch.
Guglhupf’s bakery cases are a feast for the eyes with a variety of pastries--palmiers or elephant ears, chocolate filled croissant, cookies, muffins, guglhupf cake, cream puffs and several petit four cakes. Of course, they have a nice selection of German bread. You can also pick up some gift items like a Guglhupf apron, specialty sausages, European butter and flavorful jams.
Have lunch at their café; choose from indoor or outdoor seating. The outdoor area is inviting and reminiscent of German eateries. After lunch, enjoy a dessert from the bakery to eat right at your table.
If you want to truly impress your family, guests, coworkers or your boss, treat them to some authentic German pastry from Guglhupf.
