Frommer's Review

Though it opened in the 1970s, this cafe's old-fashioned ambience and Bavarian rusticity make it seem older than it really is. It's named for the closest thing to a Bavarian "national pastry," the Guglhopf. Made with flour, eggs, and sugar, the pastry comes in at least four different variations, including chocolate and/or nuts. Equally nationalistic is the Apfelstrudel (apple strudel) served with vanilla sauce. If you're craving more than just dessert, try the pan-fried mushrooms with cream and herb sauce, served over a bed of homemade noodles. Borrow any of a half-dozen newspapers while eating your pastry and drinking your coffee or beer. A slice of the namesake pastry costs 2.50€ ($3), beer or Weissbeer is 3€ ($3.60); platters are 7€ to 11€ ($8.40-$13).
