First, the atmosphere. Then the press and the kitchen buzzing, the perfect slice, and that moment when the Reuben lands on the plate.

Some cravings really do tell their own story.

Keep the celebration going at home! Our fridges in Durham are still stocked with German Schaller & Weber sausages and meats, local cheeses, imported wines, and Oktoberfest beers, all ready to take home for your next gathering, or just because it’s Tuesday.

And you don’t have to be dining with us to stop in. Swing by the bakery anytime, morning or midday, and see what catches your eye.

Because sometimes the best part of the day is the little something you bring home with you.

A big Danke schön to everyone who spent Oktoberfest with us yesterday! 🎉🩵🥨

The grill was going, the Bretzels kept coming, NC Polka Time Allstars had everyone moving, DJ Christopher Benson closed things out, and somewhere in the middle of all that there were steins raised, contests won, plenty of good food and a whole lot of laughing.

Days like this take a village, so we also want to give a very big thank you to our Guglhupf crew. There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes to pull off a day like Oktoberfest, and our team showed up with plenty of energy and heart.

But really, this one belongs to all of you.

Thanks for coming out, bringing your people, dressing the part, dancing in the beer garden and making the place feel exactly like we hoped it would.

We had a blast. We hope you did, too.

And if you want to know what’s coming up next, our newsletter is the best way to stay in the loop. Link in bio.

And the winner is… 🥁 Best Dressed goes to… 👏

Thanks to everyone who came out and got into it with us today. We’ve still got plenty happening, with more contests and raffles throughout the rest of the evening.

We’re here until 9 PM. If you’re not here yet, there’s still time.

🎉🥨🩵 Today’s the day — Oktoberfest at Guglhupf in Durham 🩵🥨🎉

For the past few weeks, our team has been getting ready for this one. Bretzels have been baked, the patio is getting dressed up, the beer is cold, and there’s that particular kind of energy around Guglhupf that lets you know something good is about to happen.

We’re here all day, starting at 8 AM with our regular award-winning brunch. Come start your Saturday with a leisurely brunch under the red umbrellas, then at 2 PM, we’ll turn the page and bring out our special one-day Oktoberfest menu. The Oktoberfest beers will be flowing all day, and from 2 PM on, we’ll have live music from NC Polka Time Allstars & DJ Christopher Benson , a costume contest, the Stein Holding Contest, bigger Bretzels and plenty of reasons to stick around.

No tickets. Just come as you are, bring your people, and settle in for a Saturday that feels a little different from the usual.

A few ways to get here: our parking lot is open, there’s street parking around us, and we have overflow parking in the two neighboring bank lots. The bus stop is right out front, too. And if you rideshare to Guglhupf today, show us your receipt when you order and you’ll get 10% off your food order.

We’ve been looking forward to this one. Hope you’ll be here to raise a stein with us.

09/18/2026

Oktoberfest is tomorrow. If you’re coming to raise a stein with us, let someone else do the driving.

Take a rideshare to Guglhupf, show us your receipt when you order, and we’ll take 10% off your food order tomorrow (9/19) only.

No parking hunt. No worrying about getting home. Just good food, cold beer, live music, and a full day under the red umbrellas.

See you tomorrow. Prost!

Maybe this is a renaissance of remembering who we are and what we should truly care about.

ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL WE RAISE A STEIN.

Next Saturday, September 19, we’re celebrating Oktoberfest all day at Guglhupf in Durham. Come for brunch, stay for the party. Our regular menu runs until 2 PM, then the Oktoberfest menu comes out and the music, contests and festivities get going!

Think live polka from NC Polka Time Allstars, DJ set by DJ Christopher Benson , a best-dressed contest, Stein Holding, bigger beer garden, bigger Bretzels and plenty of reasons to linger a little longer. No tickets required.

A little note on getting here: our parking lot will be open, there’s street parking around us, and we’ve added extended parking with our neighbors at the bank directly across the street. There’s also a bus stop right out front and plenty of bike racks.

And if you rideshare to Guglhupf, show us your rideshare when you arrive and we’ll take 10% off your entire order (9/19) only. Just our little thank-you for leaving the car at home.

One week. We’re getting excited.
