Few things are as good as a fresh, warm soft pretzel with big chunks of salt!!! Yum!!
Soft pretzel with Parmesan has to be one of the greatest snacks ever
I love it with the melted orange cheese
A true family business! I’m definitely gonna check this place out.
I remember when WAWA switched to their fake pretzels. it was a sad day. I love when I can get the real deal!
If the shop owner reads this I want to give My condolences on the loss of your father
And I Love how you’re keeping the business going well done. If I’m ever up in Philly I will find this store.
Most definitely, every other party I attend, there’s Philly pretzels.
Closed due to fire, unfortunately 🙁 Everyone should support them in coming back through their GoFundMe!!!
aw 🙁
Came for some pretzel goodness. Stayed for the impressive owner and her operation. Very inspiring.
She throws away food that can be donated. Typical Republican who only caters to one kind.
@shshskateproductions2250 Maybe you should fill the void and start your own pretzel company that gives away everything to those you feel are entitled. You can call it Piss Poor Profit Pretzels.
Good luck. Reality is going to suck though.
@joesmith6972 sorry you are easily triggered. You wouldn’t last ten minutes in a working environment.
@shshskateproductions2250 You’re lecturing the wrong person about working environments. Stay in your lane and stick to making skateboarding videos.
@joesmith6972 I get you have nothing going on in life. It doesn’t mean you have to take it out on me. I do pay your bills after all.
17 bucks for 20 pretzels and a mustard? That’s great value
They’ve recently closed due to a fire. Philadelphians, we needs this institution back! Please support their gofundme.
Done! They’re about 2/3 of the way there, let’s get them there!
I just saw this and was getting in my car to take the two hour ride 😮
Please please please never change what ya’ll do. Since the day I was born these pretzels have been in my life and I hope it’s part of my kids, and their kids to come!
there is NOTHING I like more than a fresh, warm, soft pretzel
Now this is some good rep. I mean they serve all kinds of folks, they serve their community by keeping the prices low, and they stick true to the recipe with no shortcuts.
We need to showcase more of these kinds of businesses. Keep it up Vice!
With hot spicy mustard and a Italian water ice, never gets old 😂
Hands down the best pretzels in Philly! Stopping by in the early morning and getting them warm straight out the oven is one of life’s simple pleasures.
I wish they had showed making the pretzels, now I want a pretzel.
Growing up in Philly, every Tuesday in grade school was soft pretzel Tuesday. At recess, if you left a quarter on your desk, post recess you were left a soft pretzel. Yummmmm miss it
We got em for .10
Could get max 3 in school
yeh the school pretzels were okay lol. I much preferred the Orange drink and chocolate milks from Hy-point dairy
I went to catholic school.price was 5 cents.i am 71
My favorite food to eat when I was little was a Philadelphia soft pretzel and now a 40 year old my favorite thing to eat is still a Philadelphia soft pretzel. I love with all my heart. Makes my day better every day!! Yum
people always know about our cheesesteaks but i really believe philly has the best pretzels in the world. god bless her and her family, truly a staple of the city
Have you ever eaten a Brezn/Brezel outside the USA?
Philly italian hoagies >>>>>
I grew up in Philly. We even had “pretzel day”. every week at school. There is nothing like a Philly pretzell
I remember in elementary school, the bus driver brought a big bag from Philly Pretzel Factory and gave every kid a free pretzel on the last day of school, he was amazing lol
We used to have daily recess snack – pretzel and juice. From 1st through 8th grade in Catholic grade-school. We’d get pretzels delivered in the AM and 7th/8th graders who volunteered for the pretzel duty would take the pretzels and divide them up and put them in bins by classroom depending on who paid for the snack that week and deliver them to the room during the 1st class (religion). We also used to get cartons of orange drink from Rosenberger’s to go along with the pretzels. 10:00 – 10:15A every day bathroom break and snacks for our recess. Thinking back now to being a 6 yr old having a whole soft pretzel and 8 oz of orange drink, it was a bit absurd but many of us did it.
