    Front Entrance Outside 4.17.22
    Gail R.

    This spot recently opened so I went by to check it out. It is located in Cabin John Village and so parking is free. As you enter, the menu is on your left (on the wall). There is a menu for Pretzels, Dips, and Specialties. Another for Cold Drinks, Hot Drinks and Seasonal. On this visit I got their Sweet Pretzel. It is described as having cinnamon-glazed with a kiss of salt. It's like someone held up a pretzel and then pressed on it so a little smaller in size. Looks to be pre-made, but I still enjoyed it. Even though I purchased some dip (Nutella), I didn't need it. I also got one of their hot drinks - the Hotella. Described as their famous hot chocolate made with Nutella. Even though a sleeve was around the cup, it was very hot to the touch which let me know the drink inside was scolding hot - I waited a bit longer to drink as I didn't want to scorch my tongue. When I did, it was delicious. I will be back to check out one of the Specialties on the menu. Notes: * Pretzels are $2.50 each. You can also get 3 for $7; 6 for $13; 9 for $19 or 12 for $24 and the Dips are $1 each. * There are about 4 stools you can sit on (inside) - there is spacing between each.

    Glad to see a new shop open at Cabin John! It is on the side of the shopping center that has Cava, Sisters and Shake Shack, so parking is a little more hectic. I was picking up carryout from a couple places and had the chance to stop by and order a few pretzels to try. I got one of each of the pretzels. They were wrapped in the cute patterned wax paper and carefully put into a paper bag. They were warm when I got them, but had plenty of time to cool off with the drive home. Even cooled off, they were soft on the inside and had a nice chewy outside. I shared with my mom and niece. I loved them all cause I liked the texture and flavor. They probably would've been even better if I ate them while walking out of the shop! My mom and niece said they were good but they like the buttery greasy version from the large chain pretzel shop more. I'd take The Pretzel Bakery though! I'll be back to try other items on the menu!

    This is a cute little spot for a quick bite. We tried the everything bagel pretzel with pub cheese and the nutella roll with basil lemonade. The pretzel was personal sized, I'd say. It was tasty, but not out of this world, and I did not care for the cheese. It was cold and mustardy. The nutella knot was a great dessert, though. And the basil lemonade was bursting with basil flavor. The prices are right for the portions, and service was pretty quick. If you can brave the Cabin John parking lot, I'd say it's worth a stop in.

    Yummy!!! My salted pretzels were warm and delicious!!! Perfect amount of salt on them. The cheese dip was tasty. The sweet pretzel was good but not as delicious as the salted pretzel. Staff was friendly and helpful with answering my questions. Def going back :-)

    Breakfast slider of egg bacon and cheese on pretzel roll. Filling and tasty. Gotta buy two! Lol.

    New next door to my bank and cvs so I thought I'd try it. Since it was early I went for their breakfast sliders. Their portions are appropriate. The glutton in me wants giant carbo loading but these sliders and their sweet pretzel was tasty and sufficient. Fair prices and good service. Didn't try their coffee yet. But I recommend and will stop by again.

    This is the Sweet pretzel. It has a cinnamon sugar glaze and a bit of salt!

    These pretzels are amazing! I'm so glad I discovered this place! I felt bad taking my clan of 7 into order, but the staff handled our order like champs! They were friendly and efficient. We tried the sweet tea latte, hotella, the sweet, the salty, and the everything pretzels! The pretzels are freshly made and so delicious! Fun fact: the pretzels are shaped slightly differently. They look a bit squished compared to what we are used to in MD because that's how they are done in Philly. Also, I bet it helps to fit more on a baking sheet. That a great thing because these pretzels go fast! Enjoy!

The frosting used on the outside and the cream used on the inside was not the fluffy and soft kind we liked and was not similar to the other cakes from this bakery that we liked. It tasted like hard butter and unfortunately we had to throw out the entire cake since everyone refused to eat more than the first bite. My husband asked the employee if this was a vanilla sponge cake and they said yes since he cannot eat chocolate cake. Unfortunately once we cut it, it was chocolate. It was a waste of $50+ and would not recommend unless you're just purchasing for pictures and not to eat. The mango and strawberry croissants were good with sweet whipped cream. I liked how the cream also tasted like mango in the mango croissant. The sweet pretzel was also good and crunchy. The inside of the store is nice with plenty of tables. I also liked how there were a lot of outlet spaces.

    Bonjour, Mon Ami! ( Hello, my friend...) It is good to visit and enjoy your delicious pastries!…read moreEven though I arrived late in the day, the pastry cases were full of enticing baked goods. There was every kind of croissant you can imagine. I bought my favorite almond croissant. There were fruit and cream filled pastries. I bought a fruit and cream filled pastry too.

There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

Last Sunday, I wanted to happily buy a cake for Mother's Day but after I already paid as price tag was shown. The owner suddenly came over and said there was an extra charge because it was a "Mother's Day Special" . Apparently "Special" means rising the price by surprising their customers. Honestly, if there's a holiday surcharge, I would truly understand! But it should be clearly stated before payment -- not after. Very disappointing experience. I only bought it because my mom loves mango cake, but I definitely won't be coming back again I am pretty certain that you're not allowed to raise the price on an item already paid for. It's not the money. It's the principle. This is unethical.

It's Honestly So Hard To Find Something Quick & Actually Good For Breakfast These Days. I Happened To Be In The Area And Remembered This Spot Was On My "Saved Places" List, So I Decided To Finally Give It A Try Especially Since I Was On A Time Crunch This Morning (Shoutout To St. Patrick's Day ). My Day Definitely Felt Lucky & Even More Blessed! Parking Was Easy Since It Was Early Morning. It's Street Parking With A Meter App, & I Believe There's Also A Nearby Lot For Busier Times. Walking In, The Space Felt Simple Yet So Inviting. Super Clean, Calm, & Just A Pleasant Environment Overall. The Kind Of Place That Immediately Feels Peaceful. While Waiting In Line, I Couldn't Help But Notice The Display Of Pastries.... Absolutely Beautiful. From Thin Cookies To Buttery, Golden Croissants And Donuts... Everything Looked Fresh, Perfectly Made, & Honestly Hard To Choose From. Plus, Prices Were Very Reasonable For The Quality. AVOCADO EGG & CHEESE CROISSANT SANDWICH - $12 Fluffy Scrambled Eggs, Fresh Sliced Avocado, Swiss & American Cheese On A Buttery, Perfectly Toasted Croissant With A Slightly Sweet & Savory Aioli. Let Me Tell You This Was By Far The Best Croissant Breakfast Sandwich I've Ever Had!!!!!!!! No Exaggeration. My Jaw Literally Dropped. Every Bite Was Rich, Flavorful, And Perfectly Balanced. The Croissant Was Flaky Yet Soft, The Eggs Were Light & Fluffy, & That Aioli Brought Everything Together. Kisses To The Chef ‍ Because They Really Did Their Thing On This. WOW. CHOCOLATE DIPPED BISCOTTI - $3 House-Made, Buttery, Crunchy, & So Satisfying. The Chocolate Side Was Rich And Delicious, But Honestly? Even The Plain Side Was Incredible On Its Own. Perfect Pairing With A Hot Drink Or Just As A Snack. HOT COCOA (Oatmilk) - $5 They Didn't Have Whipped Cream, So I Wasn't Expecting Much... But Wow, I Was So Wrong. It Came In A Nice-Sized Mug With A Beautiful Heart Design On Top... That Alone Stole My Heart . But Then The First Sip? Smooth, Rich, & So Damn Good. It Completely Surprised Me In The Best Way. Definitely One Of Those "Don't Judge It Until You Try It" Moments. The Staff Were Nice And Helpful. You Can Tell They Take Their Time To Get Everything Right, From The Food To The Overall Experience & It's Absolutely Worth The Wait. I'm Honestly Still In Disbelief At How Good Everything Was. The Food, The Atmosphere, The Experience... All Top Tier. I'm Lowkey Mad I Didn't Come Here Sooner, But This Is Definitely One Of My New Favorite Spots. I'll Be Putting Everyone I Know Onto This Place. I'll Absolutely Be Back & I'm Already Hoping They Open A Location Closer To Me.
