    Original Pretzel Nuggets Bucket
    Marco L.

    The young lady working by herself was smiling and happy to serve and I realized after that the stand wasn't even supposed to open for a couple more minutes. The pretzels were fresh and tasty.

    Close up of burnt, ugly nuggets, and no regular pretzel

    First, I would like the franchise's or corporate to give me a refund. My pic includes my receipt and date and time if you have more questions. Love all the other locations but first time here and it was bad enough that I will never return to any Auntie Anne's ever. #1 Blue lemonade smelled like URINE. Like old, downtown L.A. subway station urine! Maybe the ARTIC station is so clean, they had to have something in the station give visitors the typical public transport vibes. My poor kids drank half of it before I realized. #2 never seen such ugly, burnt, irregularly shaped nuggets in my life. And everything else in the case was darker, more burnt than this. See pic #3 they were out of regular pretzels? #4 good for the kid working but he had a massive hickie on his neck. But blue raspberry drink that literally smelled so strongly of PISS! I gag now at just the thought of Auntie Annes. Don't think I can go back. Ever.

    This is probably the closest Auntie Anne's for me now. Bummed to find out that the Brea mall location has closed down. Not sure when. Remembered there was an Auntie Anne at the Artic transportation center and better yet, it's combined with the Pinkberry kiosk. So it's a win win for either myself or my kids. The only Pinkberry located around OC I've known to be open still. Sad I use to know 3 other location & those all have close down. The customer service is very friendly here. Andrew & Kitty help both assist mee. Wether if it's at Auntie Anne's or Pinkberry. They are so patient. The pretzel are all fresh and warm when received. Sour cream & onion is my hubs fav. My oldest likes the sweet Almond. The caramelize almonds gives it a crunch. My offer kids like the cinnamon sugar. This one is literally packed w sugar. They do have a special going on for 2 pretzel. The stores are located right when you enter the Artic. Plenty of parking available. Can either do a quick stop at the drop off zone. And run into grab the goodies. Or you can park in the parking area. It's free. My kids love going to go see the railroad stations. So I'd take them near to check u out the trains passing thru while enjoying our pretzel/Pinkberry yougurt. Download their app to earn rewards, Bday offers, promos and free pretzel for National Pretzeo Day.

    So disappointing. This Auntie Anne's doesn't even come close to the one in the Brea Mall. We only came to this one because it was already 9:30pm. The pretzels we were given were for sure hours old and for some reason had a chemical aftertaste to them. I didn't even finish mine because it was gross. Definitely avoid this location. If it's late and you can't make it to the mall, I'd recommend Wetzels at Downtown Disney.

    Date of visit: April 29, 2017 FINALLY the ARTIC station is getting a couple of new businesses - Auntie Anne's and Pinkberry! Though they share the same kiosk, seeing how we had the Auntie's Anne's side, this review will be for them. I'd just arrived at the station after a longer than usual trip from Oceanside, and as a result my stomach was grumbling a bit. My lady told me that the Auntie Anne's had just opened, and seeing how she had a BOGO coupon for one of their original pretzels, figured we could use a quick snack. For $3.69, the original pretzel wasn't that bad. We both noticed that Auntie Anne's pretzels tend to be softer and more buttery compared to Wetzel's - and they're not as salty either. The pepperoni pretzels and pretzel-wrapped hot dogs also looked appetizing; I'll try these next time I get off the Metrolink or depart back to San Diego.

    I'd been hesitant to post this review because I didn't want to reveal my "secret pretzel shop," but the staff here are so cool that I just had to "let-the-cat-out-of-the-bag." The craving for an "Auntie Anne's" hot, soft, buttery, salty, & slightly sweet pretzel grabbed onto me & wouldn't let go...plus I had a recent "birthday freebie" burning a hole in my pocket. I really-really-really wanted a pretzel, but given the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no way I was going to step foot near a busy shopping center (nor anywhere else near large groups of people), --- which is where most "Auntie Anne's" pretzel shops are typically located. So...to satisfy the incessant craving & stop my tummy from growling even louder, I made the drive to Anaheim to my now favorite "secret" pretzel location. Unlike most, this particular "Auntie Anne's" location is not inside of a busy shopping center, but is instead hidden from plain view. Across the street from the HONDA Center, this "Auntie Anne's" is actually tucked away inside the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (aka, "ARTIC"). Because "ARTIC" is jokingly known around OC as the uniquely eye-catching yet practically empty train station that almost no one ever visits, this particular "Auntie Anne's" is actually the perfect spot to grab a quick treat with no crowds & no lines! SCORE!!! As expected, there was no one around except a couple of employees, a security guard, & two travelers with their luggage briskly passing through the building, so I was happily in-&-out with my bag of treats in no time. The only downer was that my pretzel was burnt, but their very kind & helpful staff gave me an extra order of their delicious pretzel nuggets - complimentary! Very cool! I've been to this exceptionally clean location a few times, & the masked/gloved staff have always been courteous & helpful. Although a bit of a drive (& I actually pass a few "Auntie Anne's" in OC on the way here), the customer service, ease of access, free & easy parking, & lack of crowds make the drive for a pretzel craving that won't quit totally worth it - especially during these times. I definitely plan to return! If you're craving an "Auntie Anne's" pretzel, but seeking a very clean & friendly location that's away from crowds with little-to-no wait time, check out the "secret" location inside "ARTIC." Just don't tell anybody...Shhhhhhhhhh...... ;)

    Came here after a long train ride and was able to redeem my free birthday pretzel easily. I will be coming back here very soon for sure! The staff is very friendly and they will accommodate just about anything you need and let you know if something has a wait or something like that. I got a freshly seasoned unsalted sour cream and onion pretzel and it was delicious! I've always loved Auntie Anne's and it's great to have one so close by and in the ARTIC. Looking forward to trying out more pretzel varieties. Maybe cinnamon sugar is next?

There are also the Wetzel bite sized pieces or the freshly squeezed lemonade or frozen lemonade here too! This Wetzel Pretzel location has been a part of the shopping and dinning district since early 2008. It did celebrate a grand reopening in 2018 after the Downtown Disney store had a renovation. I've always had good pretzels at this Wetzel Pretzels location. It's quick and easy to get! Sometimes, I do get some dry or tough pretzels, but for the most part, they're typically fresh!

Their concept focused on gourmet sausages, Belgian and German beers, communal dining tables, and a relaxed social atmosphere. We came here with our group our friend and got to feast upon some dogs and wursts. One of the interesting features that have is that they carry exotic proteins such as alligators, rabbit, or rattlesnake in their links; but if you're more of a vanilla eater, than you're probably opt for the beef, pork or chicken flavored. Either way, make sure you pair it with any of their 10+ beers on tap and you'll for sure enjoy every moment of that bite. I ordered their cheddar bratwurst topped with pickled jalapenos and carmelized onions in a pretzel bun. The wurst was kind of the dry side but beer always helps. I do think sometimes that they over cook it which drys out all the delicious fat out of the links but I am here for drinks and a good time. Great spot to hang out for any type of gathering.

The last time I came to Wetzel's Pretzels, we bought two pretzels and after paying, they told us they were completely out of mustard. The employee made it sound like this wasn't unusual and that they had been out for a while. Pretty disappointing. Fast forward about two weeks later, I decided to give them another shot because I was craving pretzels and, honestly, I usually love Wetzel's. This time, I specifically asked if they had mustard BEFORE ordering. The employee pointed to the container holding the packets, and I could clearly see at least 10-12 packets sitting there. So I order my pretzel, pay, and ask for mustard. The employee hands me... three packets. Now hold up. Three packets? That might cover like half a pretzel for me. Like I said, I'm mustard obsessed. I politely asked for a few more packets, and they told me they had to save the remaining mustard for other customers for the rest of the day. So apparently there's a serious mustard shortage happening at this location. At this point, I gave them a second chance and somehow left even more disappointed than the first time. If you're a fellow mustard lover, just be warned. Looks like Auntie Anne's might be getting my pretzel business at the Outlets at Orange from now on.
