In the mass pretzel market world, I have never really been a fan of Auntie Anne's.
I put this predicament to the test once again back on July 25, 2026.
During back to school shopping, my daughters were wearing me out from store to store so I decided it was time for a snack break.
I was first irritated by the young man who took our order who was constantly looking at his watch, lacked eye contact, and was short with his words with us during our already very brief interaction.
If it was a tactic to get rid of us, that kind of worked because I won't be back again.
Because they had no classic large pretzels. That's all I ever want at that place. I don't like the pretzel bites that much. At that point I didn't even ask if I could wait for one because I didn't want to be around his negative attitude.
We offloaded some of our shopping bags and ate in my air-conditioned vehicle since there weren't many sitting arrangements in the mall that were available.
The cheese was not very warm. The pretzel bites were shockingly fine. Not overcooked or perhaps dried out as I have experienced at many Auntie Anne's.
