It's a good, decent sandwich! Really like the pretzel bread that makes this place unique. The house chips also flared a nice kettle cooked potato chip flavor. Overall a tasty lunch! I would say it's a bit on the pricier side for the portion of food you get, but definitely a place I'd stop by every once in awhile if feeling in the mood for a sandwich! read more

On our way to see the One-of-a-Kind show at the Merchandise Mart, my stomach started growling. Luckily, Hannah's Bretzel was open on that Saturday morning. I got the Veggie Blast sandwich with almonds and a lemonade. A perfect pick-me-up for a day of browsing. Fresh, crisp veggies and smoothie avocado on a multigrain bun, washed down with a perky lemonade. A perfect way to calm my growling stomach as I ventured up to the 7th floor show. If you're ever at the Merchandise Mart with a growling stomach, stop by Hannah's Bretzel and give them a try! read more

I stopped by this place to pickup lunch and it was yummy. I really liked the tomato basil bisque and it also had small pieces of pretzels in it. The sandwich didn't stand out too much but I'm a sucker for a pretzel bun. The service was fast but for the price and options you can get for the lunch special, there was just a little something lacking. read more

Decent spot for grabbing a quick sandwich, a bit on the pricey side but still good. I loved Hannah Bretzel's former location nearby just a few block away but that the pandemic shut it down sadly. Glad they're back in the area though. I feel the need to mention the bad and rude behavior of some of the fellow customers who stop by for lunch here. I have experienced people cutting in line without apologizing during the lunch rush (I get it, you're in a rush to get back to the office but so is everyone else) or asking if you're in line & seen entitled behavior that is a bit ridiculous for a lunch spot, talking down to the workers, eye rolling, non tippers making 2-4x what the cashiers make, etc... I don't know what's going with the office workers here playing The Hunger Games during their lunch break but it shouldn't be hard for adults to act like adults/ decent human beings but for some it is unfortunately... it puts me off from going to this location more often. read more

You can smell the pretzels from halfway across the food court here, which turned out to be a solid marketing strategy. The menus were on screens and not all visible at once. I ended up asking an employee if they sold traditional pretzels as well, and she rang one up for about $4. My pretzel was inconsistently sized and came cold. We agreed it would have been much better warm, and consistently sized as well it would have been worth its price. read more

Small overpriced sandwiches and bad customer service. No, thank you! They sort of imply this is a "European experience", what a scam! Cheaper to travel to Europe and get a real sandwich, or even better just buy a good ole American sandwich that is double the size and better tasting. Not worth it read more

A nice lunch switch up at the Mart, but during lunch time be prepared for any modifications to not stick given how busy they are. I ordered a seasonal warm chicken sandwich and it was great (they did warn me it would take some time given it needed to be heated, which was fine). I asked for no pickles and it showed up with pickles - not the end of the world and still tasty! Will return! read more

Pros: Hugeeee assortment of snacks specialty chocolates & teas The space is very clean! The staff was very friendly and happy! Pretzel bread is sooo good! All toppings are very fresh. Pesto spread and tomato aioli is Delicious! Cons: Subs are tiny! So glad I didn't split one w my husband. I thought my sub came with turkey and almost cried when I bit into it and realized it had no turkey and no cheese. Regardless the bread is amazing! Just make sure you're not really hungry. read more

Big flavor, big price, small sandwiches. The pretzel bread is flavorful and so are the combination of ingredients in the sandwiches. The Wisconsin had apples which added some crunch and created different textures in the sandwich which was great. Overall we dropped about $40 for a meal for two, drinks and a wafer dessert. Felt like the bread was as wide as an Olive Garden breadstick. Soup was dope and probably would just get two soups and share one sandwich next time. Enjoyed the outdoor seating and the view too. read more

Ordered delivery to the office. Not worth the money. These sandwiches are snacks, not lunch. They are SO tiny! Then when I went to take a picture of how small it was, I noticed a hair in my sandwich!! gross!!! read more

I spent $422 on a corporate lunch and did not receive all of the items that I paid for. I received a confirmation email with a list of all the items that I ordered and still did not receive those items. When I came back to the store during my lunch meeting, I was told that I still had to pay for the additional salad that is already listed on my receipt as paid for. After leaving this review that Owner Florian continued to email me, harrassing me about their policy, instead of admitting the online ordering system is flawed and should have not allowed me to add items that were not optional. Florian was so out of line, I had to tell him to practice restraint as a business owner and leave me alone. I will never go back here. And they double charged me for my order. It's still pending from almost a week ago, and I believe Florian did so on purpose because of my review. read more

This is on the pricey side but well worth it. They have exceptional pretzels and the sandwiches are exceptional.

great catering option! most of Chicago wasn't open until 11am on Saturday, Wesley and crew were on time and came in early to prep the order before 9am. Sandwiches were labeled and fresh and total success for yacht snacks on a 6 hour charter. will go again! read more

I'll say that I really enjoy their devotion to locally sourced ingredients, as well as their pretzel buns being fantastic in flavor. Their sandwiches, as a whole, are extremely good. That said, they're quite small and rather expensive. In Chicago, a place with nearly the highest sales tax in the US, the sandwich better be large and hearty. Now, prices of sandwiches at local sandwich establishments will be higher than chains, and of course, you should support local. BUT, this is a once in an extremely blue moon type of place. I might eat here once a year when I'm craving one of their signatures, but not much else. This place has fantastic soup, though, and I'd recommend anyone try it. read more

I enjoyed the Free Range Chicken and Avocado sandwich on a bretzel that we ordered as part of a catered lunch box! There was pesto sauce in addition to the chicken and avocado and the combination of the three was quite tasty! The box lunch also included an apple and a bag of chips. Would overall recommend this place to anyone looking to cater lunch boxes for their work place. read more

The sandwich is good. Fresh ingredients and the pretzel bread is very good. The size is a bit smaller than I expected, but it was fine for me. Clean restaurant. read more

Hannah's Bretzel - Smoked Turkey and Wisconsin Cheddar - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

What's better than combining the 2 best things in life: pretzel + bread = amazing concoction Bretzel. The soft doughy pretzel baguette and wecken roll are divine. I couldn't decide and glad I got both! The Seasonal Angry Tofu on bretzel baquette was fun to try with a spicy kick from the Harissa sauce and the marinated tofu in a pepperjack hot sauce. Avocado, mixed greens, and tomatoes balanced out the flavor. The baguette was filling with little room to spare. You can get 1/2 portion on the wecken roll. The savory and sweet combination of the Wecken roll and preserves hits the spot! I was skeptical, but glad my hubby ordered it! Will definitely come back for more Bretzel! Wish there were locations on the East Coast, please open up a store in DC! read more

I was hesitant about this sandwiches place but it's become one of my favorites! It's one of the best cáprese sandwiches i've had. I was skeptical of the nut free pesto (not even sure how you make pesto without nuts) but it was the best pesto i've had. I'm also not a balsamic girly, but I really enjoyed it with this sandwich. Tasted very fresh and healthy. Add avocado to it and it makes it better! The price was decent and around average for sandwich places. read more

There was a CRICKET or LOCUST in my Italian parma sandwich. Thank god it fell out before I actually bit into it. I had high expectations for this bretzel sandwich because I'm usually a huge fan of pretzel buns. Imagine my surprise when I paid $14 for this tiny sandwich and almost swallowed a bug. read more

My first time coming here with one of my co-workers. She told me how good this place was to come for a sandwich. Since we didn't have much options here in the downtown area due to many restaurants closed during Covid. Prices are way too high to be paying for a cold sandwich. Over priced and the sandwich wasn't that good. I rather eat a sub at Subway. Very disappointed. One of the guys over the counter wasn't that friendly. I understand that during these difficulty timing business is slow. But I thought how rude he was to stand there and complain. We were the only one in line and stood there waiting and listening to him talk to the other employees. Just not professional to have your customers wait in line to be served. Only to hear him complain and be grumpy. Lost my business on this one. read more

Everything I buy tastes better and better. The roasted cauliflower soup made me moan! The Marisol sandwich! YUM! The best salads I have ever had! I am moving my firm from the building where one HB is located ; and missing it already! I hope they deliver! Superior! Substitutions are too expensive, but not necessarily really. read more

I've had Hannah's Bretzel in the past but this was my first time visiting this location. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and greeted me when I came in. My sandwich was delicious and I decided to eat in while the rain passed. When I left I got caught in it and the manager came outside to offer me an umbrella! So kind and great food read more

The sandwiches are creative and tasty but the artisan chocolate selection was the standout for me: Madecasse, Dolfin, Vosges, Michel Cluizel, Poco Dolce, Lake Champlain, Dandelion and tons more. read more

So I have been craving a soft pretzel for quite some time now... When I saw Hannah's I knew I had to give it a whirl. Let me tell you, this place combines two of the finer things in life- pretzels and sandwiches. Yum! I got the Hannah's Classic Club that had turkey, bacon, red onions, tomatoes, cheddar, and a delicious dijonaise. (& usually I don't even like mayonnaise!) My sandwich also came with house chips that are ruffled kettle chips with sea salt & black pepper. The chips added a nice crunch to the soft bun. The environment here is pretty laid back and they also have outdoor seating for when it is warm. The restaurant was clean and since you order at the counter, all of the ingredients are in plain sight and look/taste fresh. I'm excited to try the breakfast sandwiches here next time! read more

I have been to eat here a few weeks ago because I was nearby and the location was a good option. I have now returned four more times because the sandwich I ordered was that amazing. I have even driven in from the suburbs over 45 minutes away to go get food from here, Everything is fresh and delicious and combined in a way that you don't see at any other shops. This place is amazing. Go check it out. read more

This is one of my fav breakfast spots because in the nice weather, I can sit outside with my dog, and when it's cold, I can tie her up outside quickly and its away from the street/sidewalk so I dont feel worried about her. The food is fresh as its cooked to order. Its def a little pricey when you weigh that against portion size, but it's always tasty and the employees are nice (to me and the dog!) Cant speak for every Hannah's location but have been going to this one for nearly 6 years and will definitely miss it when I move. PS - try The Publican breakfast sammie, you won't regret it! read more

Great place to grab a quick bite! Felt kind of like a mini trip to Germany. I had the Veggie Bomb pretzel sandwich which was pretty tasty. Everything seemed fresh and high quality. Had a German beer with my lunch too. I came at a weird hour 3pm so had the place to mostly myself, but I imagine during lunch hour it can get chaotic. Restaurant is spacious, clean and a good relaxing atmosphere. I noticed some outlets and think this would be a decent place to get some work done also (if you don't mind the kind of clubby European music) read more

Great sandwiches and unique idea with the pretzel bread (who doesn't love that?) I tried the breakfast once and ordered the roasted garden veggies w/ cheese and eggs and it was good! But it was literally the tiniest sandwich I've ever bought and had a scant amount of everything. If I were making this at home I would have loaded up on the veggies and made it my own. But I did appreciate that they used very fresh ingredients and made it in front of you (including scrambling the egg). Another time I went for lunch and ordered the pesto/caprese sandwich. At least this one was on a proper slice of bread. Again, very tasty and fresh ingredients. If it were a little less expensive or they gave you a little more food (not even bread, but loaded up on the veggies) I would be inclined to go here more often. I do understand though that good quality produce is expensive, and I'm not sure if this is a national store or not, but with a lack of economies of scale, supplies are even more expensive. I do like the concept though, and appreciate the freshness so I hope they continue to do well. read more

This is a pleasant counter service restaurant that specializes in sandwiches made on pretzel bread, hence the name. The bread is fairly small and it's not that cheap, so don't expect a Subway experience. The focus is on fairly healthy combinations such as a turkey club. The health aspects are somewhat offset by the hundreds of chocolate bars lining the queue--dieters beware! Service is well organized and there is a pleasant outside dining area. read more

I ordered the lunch combo which included a Turkey and farmhouse cheddar along with an Ella salad. All decent enough although pricy ($16). What bothered me as a customer is i asked for a cup of water because I'm not interested in the drinks they offer. The person behind the counter said they don't give customers free water!!!Seriously? IT'S TAP WATER. I've never heard of this. Even though it may seem like a small item it's tough to believe they would force customers to pay for drinks they don't want after paying so much for a meal. read more

I love this place. It's near my work, so I've come here a few times. The Marisol is my favorite. Amazing flavors and textures throughout the sandwich. Also a plus it's locally sourced food! read more

Have to give a big shoutout to Hannah's Bretzel for being such an awesome business that my family craves, as Hannah's has stood tall in tough conditions for Chicago this year. Today, we were able to get a bunch of our favorites delivered to the Loop from this location, even after the weekend riots made Loop access more difficult and shut almost every food business downtown. Hannah's sandwiches are THE food we crave when away from Chicago and so glad we were able to get lunch today from here! We try and support local businesses during the virus lockdown and since we were out of Chicago for the past few months, the best we could do is buy a package of Hannah's sandwiches to send to frontline hospital workers. All the food at Hannah's is fresh, healthy and delicious so that alone deserves your business, but it's always a company that does everything the right way. I used to live a block from their first location at Washington/Wells so I've seen the growth and can say, even as I get grumpier with age, that Hannah's has always done things the proper way and it's a company that's great to support while enjoying their delicious food. read more

Great sandwiches--have been enjoying them for years in the loop and catering for family get togethers. My closest to home location is at LaSalle & Hubbard, but I can't deal with the excessively loud music anymore. It's not enjoyable to eat there. I guess this is why it's empty on a Wednesday at 12:30 PM. read more

I've been here many (and I mean many) times since I first reviewed Hannah's Bretzel in 2013. And guess what? It's still just as good! My boyfriend loves the Hannah's Club, and I love the Pesto + Mozzarella. We've never changed up our order because why mess with a good thing? And both sandwiches are a very good thing. The ingredients are quality, and I absolutely love how great I feel afterwards. There's no sluggish feeling in the bottom of your stomach because the ingredients are all so fresh and healthy. But over the years, things have definitely changed at Hannah's Bretzel. The salt & pepper potato chips now come in an official, sealed bag instead of the paper sleeves. Thankfully, they're still just as good! And the ingredients are used a little more sparingly on the sandwiches, which makes me sad. But perhaps the biggest change is with the gluten free bread -- Hannah's Bretzel JUST switched to using a new gluten free pretzel bread from Wheat's End. Recently, I ordered for pick-up, got home and saw the bread, and majorly freaked out, thinking I'd accidentally been given the regular sandwich bread. I called the location (like, four times) to ask if they'd switched things up but they didn't answer. Not wanting to have an allergic reaction, I drove the 20 minutes back to ask. A manager saw I'd returned with the sandwich and explained that yep, they started using a new gluten free bread just over a month ago! And that's awesome -- I just wish someone had told me! Now, the gluten free bread now has two slices on the top; the regular pretzel bread has three. It's pretty amazing how it actually tastes and smells just like real pretzel bread. And gone are the days of partially frozen sandwiches because this new version is baked fresh daily! Yes, it's still pretty pricey -- Hannah's Bretzel's sandwiches are like $10 each. But those sandwiches are made with quality ingredients by knowledgeable staff, and that's absolutely worth the price to me. read more

Nice spot near the Mart. They were baking their pretzel bread when we arrived, smelled so good. Had the steak melt sandwich, very tasty (prob would have given them five stars but I wish my steak was cooked a small bit more than it was). Also had a fresh fruit salad and homemade hibiscus iced tea. They have a huge selection of exotic chocolate bars for dessert. Lastly, the owner came by to say hello. Very friendly...I wish his business much success! Always nice to have good people to support. read more

Went for lunch on a Friday. It was a good, fairly inexpensive meal. I ordered the combo with the vegetable bomb wecken sandwich and Ella's salad. The sandwich was pretty small but a good size for me. I was impressed with the size of the salad. The meal felt fresh and refreshing, it was just enough food. I had to wait in line for 10 minutes but once I ordered the food was prepared quickly. They have a good amount of outdoor seating at this location. read more

Pretty disappointing with this sandwich. I ordered the Turkey Club. They start out with 2 small slices of back, 2 small half slices of cheese that didn't cover the whole sandwich and then 1-1/2 slices of turkey. Load it up with Lettuce and Tomato to make it look like a bigger sandwich. When I mentioned the amount of turkey on the sandwich they just look at you like you're crazy and rush you along the line to get you to pay and leave. For the price you pay for these sandwiches it should contain some more meat and cheese. They give you a choice of a bag of chips or a small container of Almonds. I picked the bag of chips which contain about 8 chips. I Will not be visiting this place again. read more
