Pretzels near Berkeley, CA

“This is a beautiful store outside and inside. After stalking this restaurant on Instagram and after I missed pop-up events for Oktoberfest, I finally bought some pretzels. Yummy! It was well worth the wait. I scored some of the weekly specials, the pesto and mozzarella pretzel. I also bought the jalapeño and cheddar. I will never buy one of those pretzels off the street carts ever again. I used to buy Auntie Annie’s soft pretzels at the mall, but never again. I am officially a pretzel snob now. I am making plans to go back to Squabisch for the pretzel sandwiches. The fresh quality ingredients are evident in every bite.“

“I endure making my way through the busy mall, to indulge in a sweet treat, occasionally.My go to is the Cinnamon Sugar pretzel at Wetzel’s. I get the Sweet Glaze to dip it into. Very delicious.Thick, creamy, and so rich.I noticed that the price points have risen immensely, in the last year or so. Must be due to inflation. Still worth every cent, as far as I’m concerned. Their items are stellar. Terrific drinks and exceptional pretzels.“

“Don't be deterred by the mediocre reviews! This place is a great place for a coffee, juice, quick lunch spot, snack, you name it. We got pretzel with cheese and a pretzel dog, for $14. Quick and nice service, clean facilities. They have a little condiment bar to the side with condiments, relish, onion, and slaw for the hot dogs. I was surprised to see how clean and well stocked the condiments were with plastic coverings for the condiments to keep it hygienic. There are also some bar stools and counter for seating along the side that provides a quiet, shady, and less windy spot on the pier. The food tasted good quality and not like the usual sickly fast food you'd expect. Pretzel was a little salty but you can ask for no salt or just brush some salt off. Would come here again for sure!“
