What's not to love about hot pretzels and a cold drink? These days I skip the drink (too much sugar), but opt for the chewy pretzels. Whether it's a big pretzel or a cup of pretzel bites (pepperoni or mini hot dogs) it makes my day. This mall in downtown is definitely struggling, but Wetzel Pretzels continues to be my favorite pretzel place. read more

Wetzel's Pretzels - Yum, the pretzel pizza bites here are so good. - Pretzels Near Me - San Francisco, California

Jalapeño and pepperoni on a pretzel is my new favorite (savory) flavor at Wetzel's. The jalapeños had a nice low heat level, the pepperoni wasn't too greasy, and the pretzel was warm and cheesy. Service was quick and the line wasn't too long despite the number of people here on Saturday. read more

I ordered a cheese meltdown pretzel, which tastes just like an asiago cheese bagel but less sharp cheese taste. It was decent and kind of oily without being soggy, but I do wish it was a bigger amount of food for the price. The workers also gave me a sample of cinnamon flavored pretzel which I liked since it had so much sugar on it, I'd recommend that one if you like sweets. It was located in the middle of a hallway in the Westfield mall so there's foot traffic going past it, but the line itself wasn't too long and moved fast even on a Saturday. read more

I love to come treat myself with a freshly baked soft pretzel, a few times a year. It is total carb loading, but not too dangerous. I ordered the usual, my go-to, Cinnamon Sugar pretzel. With the Sweet Glaze to dip it in. Worthy of a trip, to endure making your way through the bustling mall, just to have that alone! Thick. Creamy. Rich. Very good. Delicious stuff! I noticed the price points of their items has risen way up, must be due to (seemingly inescapable) the dreaded reality of inflation. To me, the products are worth every cent spent. I prefer Wetzel's, over the others, that sell similar items, but shall stay nameless. read more

The service was nice. The staff member was social and asked me about the rewards for the own company she works for, I guess marketing works. My choice was the pepperoni pretzel. The portion I would say is sufficient; it's big and has plenty of meat. Very warm which added a nice element to my snack time. Looks like they make food onsite as one can watch as one mingles throughout the mall or waits in the queue. Options are always abundant with variety. Pricey but nice and take advantage of coupons and whatnot if that's your thing. read more

You can never go wrong with a mid-shopping snack at wetzel's pretzels. We got the cinnamon bites with the sweet glaze. Simply perfection! They did not go light on the cinnamon sugar coating and the pretzels were perfectly soft. The one comment I have is that the pretzel bites were larger than I remembered. The staff was friendly and they finished making the bites fresh very quickly. There is unfortunately not much seating inside so we walked to union square to enjoy them! read more

You know, I did give a 5-star for my first review of this stand. So why the dramatic demotion to 1-star? When I came here last week, I was waiting in a long, long line for a pretzel. Then, when it was soon to be my turn to order, their system went down, and they could only accept cash. I got out of line for a second to get cash from a friend when it was about to be my turn, and when I tried to order, the girls at the cashier deliberately acted like I was invisible. My friend had to speak up for me, telling them that I had been waiting for a long time. So how did they respond? One of the cashier girls went, "Well, she stepped out of line, so if she wants a pretzel, she should go back to the end of the line." There must have been AT LEAST 15 people in line. My friend tried arguing for me (bless her heart and soul), but I just pulled her away to leave, because there was no point in arguing. Terrible customer service. You don't want my money? Fine. I'm not coming back, even when there's no line. Their good pretzels have been ruined by their horrible attitude. read more

Having just returned from Zürich, I was craving some pretzels and pretzel dogs (a ubiquitous train station on-the-go snack). While I'd normally pass by a pretzel stand in the mall without stopping, recent nostalgia kicked in. Sadly, my craving wasn't satisfied. It was better than the frozen soft pretzels you can get reheated at the movies or a bowling alley, but I've had a lot better pretzels at proper pretzel stands before. Jalapeño Cheddar Dog: It was a huge hot dog wrapped in an ultra-thin layer pretzel with tons of gratinéed cheese on top. I felt a bit conflicted. Generally, I'm all for lots of meat and tons of cheese. However, I felt a little cheated that there was so little pretzel involved. At that point, why not get a hot dog from a place that specializes in them and then load it with cheese? Also, despite the jalapeños, it wasn't hat hot. Pretzel w/ Jalapeño Cheese Dip: Their pretzels seem to be missing that barley malt profile that browner pretzels tend to have. The more dominant flavor in these is yeasty, like those pre-made dinner roll doughs you can buy in a can at the grocery store. The fact that they are warm and soft were positive factors though. I did enjoy the Jalapeño Cheese Dip; it reminded me a bit of that "spicy" version of Cheez Whiz that they don't make anymore. About what you'd expect from warm processed cheese dip. read more

I honestly usually go to Auntie Anne's. But after bad service from them in the same mall i found this place its right in the basement food court and on the side. It's a small kiosk like store. The service was FASSST. pretzels flying like hot cakes here. I opted for the original the sesame seed one was sold out. I would have waited but i was soooo hungry for one. I came back and got 2 more. The taste is right on and now has become my favorite!! read more

come here if you want cold... dry....unseasoned pretzel bitz! and if you ask for more, they will give you some attitude. it is literally only this location that has an issue. read more

Best Wetzels I have ever been to. Super fresh!!! Not sitting under a heat lamp all day.

Wetzel's Pretzels are yummy, but taste is a little bit strong. Also, the staff members are unfriendly and very slow. Even the pretzels are good, I don't think I buy their pretzels in the future. I hope they will change. read more

Love their pretzels!! I think I like Auntie Anne's a tad more. But if it was between Wetzel Pretzel vs Auntie Anne's...I'll go to the one that's closer. Pepperoni & Jalapeno http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/KGH8xeRJ00mV3GS5FH2n2w/l (Monday, February 2, 2009) read more

After a day of shopping, we stopped over here to have some pretzels! We got these pretzel bites with pepperoni on them to share and could taste the yum greasiness with each bite. Since we felt sinful for eating them, we got Jamba Juice to cut the guilty feeling in half. Note: I think their lemonades are too sweet! They can totally use less sugar to save some money on production... Yes, I would eat those pretzels again but perhaps not everyday. read more

First time here because friend said they were craving them. Got to try the cin-a-yum, which consisted of cut of pieces of pretzels, coated in cinnamon butter, topped with a layer of sugar. I think the thing that I found most impressive was how soft it was. There wasn't a single bite that I had that was had the hardened pretzel consistency that I was expecting. Even after cooling down, all I had to do was stick it in the microwave for a bit, and it'd be back to the original softness. The thing I didn't quite like about this (and thus the reason for my rating), is that I don't actually like pretzels in general, and the sugar was a bit too much for my palette. TL;DR - REALLY soft, but kinda sugary read more

Still 4 stars but I just had to let the Yelp community know about their new savory pretzel! *drum roll...* MUSHROOMS & RED ONIONS! Ok it's not that great to be honest. There are more red onion pieces than mushrooms which is the biggest downer. Had they had an even amount this would be better, but overall the pretzel lacked a bit of salt. I would still stick to their Pepperoni Pizza Pretzel. My favorite by far. read more

Was today opposite day? The pretzel dog I got was 180 degrees from what I'd been expecting - the pretzel part was overdone (to the point of being hard in some places), and the hot dog part was overly soft like vienna sausages. Maybe it'd just been sitting out too long before I bought it? I suppose I'll try one again in the future, but not often, since they're approaching $5 each. Still 3 stars for the benefit of the doubt and for the cool rezzed woodblock kiosk design. read more

The pretzels here are always fresh. I always get the cinnamon bitz with the glaze dip. Recommend coming here!

Love the Wetzel Bitzs! Almond crunch. They toss the mini pretzels with butter and crushed almonds. Today the pretzels were very warm and soft. For $5.10, you get a fairly good size bag of mini pretzels. Plenty to share. read more

My first job was working for a Wetzel's Pretzels. I swear, it is true. My grandfather and I used to share the pretzels bites with cheese sauce as a child and the taste of a Wetzel's pretzels, even the smell brings back many happy memories. The Wetzel's Pretzels in downtown San Francisco is hidden. That much, I guarantee. It is on the older part of the Westfield Center. It may be hidden, but it is still delicious. Each pretzel is made with fresh dough everyday. If a pretzel isn't looking it's freshest, it is thrown away. Meaning, when you bite into your pretzel, it is always the best it can be. If it is not, you are entitled to a new one. My favorites are the bites for personal reasons, as well as the cheesy pretzel. I always get my bits with salt and I always eat my cheesy pretzel as a meal. Also, the lemonade is made from squeezing the lemons, not from concentrate. It is wonderful. They have combos and these are the best deals. I love this place, for either a snack or a carb-filled lunch. If only there were more..... read more

Someone should open a Wetzel's Pretzels or an Auntie Anne's on Telegraph and give Noah's and Crepes A Go Go a run for their money. I love pretzels. I buy one whenever I get a chance and this Wetzel's Pretzels is probably my only source of pretzels when I'm in school (boo :( ). Their pretzels actually aren't that good compared to other Wetzel's Pretzels or Auntie Anne's. Last time I got a Cinnamon pretzel and it had a slight taste of jalapeno cheese (my guess is that they baked them together) -really disturbing for my pretzel delight. But they get an extra star for being a rare pretzel place in the Bay Area. read more

One of the best pretzels ever, I 100% recommend you try the pizza bits with the jalapeño cheddar sauce

I tried this place when it first opened and it was complete crap. I thought maybe it was just because it was new so I waited. I came back a couple months later and it was just as bad and not up to par with the rest of the Westfield Mall food. The pretzels were extremely greasy (over the top greasy). You can actually see the grease soak through the paper bag as you are walking away from their booth. The dough for their pretzels and other pretzel products are too drench in grease to taste much of anything but what you could taste is rough and rubbery. The cinnamon pretzel is overly coated in sugar (which I can understand since this is the case for most pretzel places, unfortunately) but there was hardly any cinnamon taste at all. Maybe the lady forgot...? The only positive attribute for the one star is their pretzel dog. It's also extremely greasy by the way, but for the buck, you get more meat than you do at Auntie Anne's. I would recommend Auntie Anne's (located on the second floor) over Wetzel's Pretzels. You get a slightly better deal at Wetzel's Pretzels (maybe a couple pennies) but Auntie Anne's tastes much better! read more

Super yummy - I'm absolutely plagued with a weakness yet a strong aversion for carbohydrates, especially delicious freshly made warm melt in your mouth buttery pretzels which Wetzels (unfortunately for me) pops out like pop tarts. They also have the best Lemonades & Frozen drinks in Westfield that satisfy Thirst on a hot SF September's Day. Prices are incredibly reasonable for a sweet or salty craving and this place will probably end up making Annie's Pretzels on the 2nd Level go out of business! Perfect for a quick hunger or thirst fix on a long shopping day or whilst in a hurry to catch the Train! read more

I'm in the mood for some junk food today so what options do we have at the Westfield Shopping Centre that doesn't hit my wallet too hard? Well there's only a few and Wetzel Pretzel is one of them. I bought an original pretzel along with one of their hot dogs. Not bad. Not bad at all. Just gotta keep on reminding myself not to eat here everyday. It's tempting, but no. read more

I don't really know how you can rate franchises...they're all the same. They follow the same bases. Make the food, service the customer. It's not really a sit down place so you can't rate service. Unless they're really that bad at giving you what's in the little display window. But I like their jalapeno wetzel dog. yummy stuff. I could actually go for one right now. read more

I couldn't even finish it. I saw a bunch of raw dough ; after feeling a little ill. I'll never go back - and I feel like throwing up. ;(

I don't know how the pretzels at this "top of the line" location tastes because this is the worst customer experience I've encountered. I was standing in line waiting to order while taking pictures of what was on the display. The so called manager and her minions told me i was prohibited to take pictures. You do realize this is just a pretzel place and in public view, right? You ain't that special. Of course I left without purchasing their crap. read more

Wetzel's Pretzels is great. I go every chance I get. For the most part the pretzel bitz are great value. However the cheese, an essential part of the wetzel bite experience, is very expensive ($1.39 per cup). Additionally, one cheese cup is not quite enough for a full order of bitz. I will probably continue to support Wetzel's pretzels with my purchases. I wish I could go everyday. read more

Nomz, I don't know why it took me so long to try this place! Their pretzel bits are so yummy and really good with their jalapeno dip! I was super hungry before a lunch birthday celebration so my friend and I came here and the wait for freshly made pretzels was SO worth it. And you get a lot for your money, it's ~$3 for like 10-15 pretzel bits including the dip. Super cheap and yummy! read more

Their cinnamon dipped pretzel is made of sugar and not cinnamon. I could have sworn I had better memories of cinnamon as a child but now it's all somehow different. Is it because tastebud had evolved? I don't know. Wetzel Pretzel was not how I used to remember it to be. Unfortunately. read more

Said pretzels were fresh as I was watching them throw out the others and other items in the case I feel lied to

I'm not sure if I've had their pretzels before, but the lemonade a couple times now. I can never finish it because lemonade is just hard to finish. They have multiple different flavors actually, which you don't see too often. Theres a super funny latino guy that works here, and that makes the stop interesting. read more
