Amazing pretzels!!!…read more Super friendly and polite customer service with warm, comforting pretzels and the most amazing dips ever. In addition to being organic and vegan I also appreciate the fact that they aren't too salty like many other soft pretzels are. These pretzels also reheat well in the toaster oven which is great when you are already stuffed but want to take a pretzel to go. I especially recommend the cinnamon butter dip which has a very unique flavor. I've never had anything like it. It is reminiscent of cinnamon ice cream in texture and flavor without actually being cold or too sweet. You also don't mind using a lot of it as it is light and fluffy in mouthfeel. They must never take the tasty cinnamon butter away!!! They also have a tasty mustard dip which is a condiment I often recommend to people as a Dietitian due to its many health benefits. As the only local pretzel place in Pittsburgh to serve both organic and vegan pretzels this is the *perfect* vendor to any local party you are having - particularly events that have the need to be vegan and/or organic as people become increasingly concerned with their health and the environment. I highly recommend contacting Connor today or ordering a pretzel from him if you see his pretzels at an event! :)

I was told she could not. So I grabbed some Philly stuffed pretzels, a pretzel dog and a pretzel, I asked which mustard or any sauce I should try I was told I should know if I would like spicy or not, but there were so many other flavors. I just grabbed a honey mustard and a spicy. The Philly pretzels were old and hard to chew I could only eat one. The pretzel dog was soggy and wet on the bottom and hard on top. My regular pretzel was weird! I literally have nothing positive to say except it was nice and clean inside and I thought it looked super cute outside. I definitely wouldn't go back! What a terrible first experience in my new state.

The service was ample when we ordered, but the workers are barely able to be seen or even make eye contact with the high counters and containers of baked goods. The coolest thing about this place and probably what keeps them going is their product! Not just the abundance of flavors of the biscotti, but the ability to come up with creative ways to sell more and keep customers trying everything. From mystery bags of end pieces to discount biscotti crumbles - they found a way to sell the pieces and debris that would normally not be sold. I'm not a huge fan of biscotti - dried up cookies in my opinion - but I would love to come back and try some of the other baked goods some time.
