    Tasty Twisters is a small bakery/pretzel easy to miss but could be a solid spot. Stopped by this last Friday for a pizza pretzel. I haven't had one in years! The place seems a bit odd though. Nobody works the counter area. There is a doorbell to ring for service. That itself is and issue. The line was quite long and the wait was extensive. The lady quoted me 5 minutes but it took 25 minutes! That's a long time for a pretzel and it's just flat out ridiculous. If I hadn't paid in advance I would have walked out. I love supporting small mom and pop businesses but they need to step up their game. The pretzel while good simply isn't worth the wait.

    Closed by Health Department. Very unfortunate but the conditions must be of significant concern for this outcome.

    Display case with apple fritters, pretzel twists, Mediterranean Wraps, Spinach Pocket, and desserts.

    Don't miss this great spot! We love going to this local place to pick up multiple soft pretzels for gatherings or sports games. Incredible prices and an easy stop at a family run bakery. Street parking readily available along Umbria street.

    Ordinary people don't know about Tasty Twisters. My experience involved driving down small (almost nonexistent) street off Main Street. Then turning into an empty parking lot. I don't remember there being a sign, but there IS a door. You open the door and walk into a small, dilapidated waiting room. There's a small window and a man behind it. He'll say, "hello, how many?" You'll say "a dozen? half dozen?" Don't say one or two. Chances are that won't be enough after you taste these soft pretzels AND given the scenario I've laid out for you, do you REALLY think one or two is acceptable? This place is a total secret, so keep the information I've just provided you with in the small, secret jean pocket. You know, the one you always wanted to put drugs in but probably didn't?

    Odd and well hidden little spot, but what these folk dish out is very worth the trip. Twisted pretzels braids (they even make these into pizza if you want), regular soft pretzels, and multi flavored nuggets are pretty much all you can score here, but the product is great and price is cheap so, if you're a hustler, you could probably triple your money on the streets. I recently came in for nuggets, wanting a half plain and half everything medium sized tray ($15 for plain, $17 for flavored). The regular were forgotten, but the everything nuggets made up for it with their flavor and the fact that they were fresh out of the oven (they will gladly cook you fresh dough if you give them a chance). Tray came with one small container each of cheese wiz and spicy mustard, but that is definitely not enough (especially the cheese), so plan accordingly. Even though I didn't get exactly what I'd asked for, it was still a very pleasing purchase, but isn't that how back alley transactions are supposed to go down? Also, I'm not too surprised that I've never been here before during my life long Roxborough residency, what with it's hugger-mugger location, but I plan to make up for all that I've missed in the future. The store front is in the corner of the warehouse within the parking lot behind the furniture warehouse at Umbria & Lemonte streets. Follow the signs and you'll be fine.

    Hey here in the Big Pretzel - better known as Philadelphia - soft pretzel options are everywhere. When you're in Manayunk or Roxborough, Tasty Twisters Bakery is a good option. Unfortunately it's a bit of a walk from the Main Street action in Manayunk, but if you got a car, it's just minutes away. The soft pretzel itself is tasty and not loaded with salt .... and the cinnamon version is really a treat when it comes warm out of the ovens. Things though to keep in mind here ... and why I wouldn't give this place more stars are: They have an extensive menu containing a wide variety of pretzels - they just never have most of them when you walk in. They always say that has to be pre-ordered. For a party - preordering is easy, for a snack on the spur of the moment, who thinks of preordering pretzels. Also mustard here is extra. C'mon...if I'm just stopping in for a quick Philly soft pretzel, have a couple varieties of mustard in containers on the counter that I squeeze on to my pretzel!

I got the egg tart on recommendation as well as a cheese pastry, pandan cake and red bean moon cake and everything was delicious! The cheese pastry had the softest exterior with a warm cheese filling that was savory but light at the same time. The moon cake was very rich and perfect for sharing! The pandan cake and egg tart were perfectly not-too-sweet, which is why I personally tend to gravitate towards Asian baked goods. It's a smaller but very cozy and homey interior with two tables for sitting down to enjoy your coffee and pastries. It's also cash only or Venmo, so keep that in mind if you never carry cash!

The employees at Paris Baguette are super helpful and nice, while also being efficient. Three people at the registers helped the line move quickly. While I love Paris Baguette, it isn't a coffee shop/bakery I would visit everyday because the prices are a little higher than average. For that once in a while craving, though, it's the perfect place to drop in and try a variety of items.
