This place is the absolute best! We are so sad they closed in cabin john. The food is amazing and also the owner and everyone working here is soooo nice. Definitely recommend!

Great pretzels, good prices, and the Hotella is always a good treat. Hot drinks do seem to stay super hot for an oddly long period of time, but still delicious.

The Pretzel Bakery makes some seriously tasty pretzels. The dough is soft and chewy, with just the right amount of salt and flavor. I tried a few of the specialty options too, and they were creative without overdoing it. The staff was friendly and the place has a casual, welcoming vibe. Not perfect, but a solid spot for a quick, satisfying snack. I’d go back.

Second time I’ve walked in and just ended up throwing away my food because they don’t wash their hands after cleaning tasks. This time they also charged me for a drink then told me after they don’t have it.

Nice local pretzel place with german flair and taste🙂 Fresh, well sized (read - not oversized) tasty plain salty pretzels. We enjoyed also their Nutella bomb and breakfast slider - yummy and good size for adults or kids (you will not overeat if you stick to one 😉

About the atmosphere - a more friendly and sunny morning mood exhibited by the young people working there could go a long way…

oh, and their coffee is relatively decent, although I wish they had also proper expresso ☕️

Note that they have inside and outside space, but seating is limited.

Overall - a good place to stop for breakfast or keeping on the radar when planning a picnic or a sandwich-type lunch.

Just what you need for ideal comfort food. The best pretzels and pretzel combo

Terrible service. When I arrived with a stroller, the only staff member present saw me struggling to get through the door but stayed seated at an empty table on his phone. As I got closer, he finally moved—only to go behind the counter and act as if taking my order was a favor. Very unprofessional and unwelcoming.

Only pretzel place in DC. I would prefer if hours were longer, but beggars can't be choosers. This is my go pretzel spot in the dmv. Be sure to try out their breakfast sliders.

Stop advertising on Postmates/Uber Eats and you’re never open on there! I called about why you’re never open and I got a BS answer.
