We were driving through the New Holland area and stumbled across this little shop/market that has…read morehuge pretzels on its signs and exterior walls. If you're in the area, be sure to check it out! We decided to have lunch and ordered a couple pretzel sandwiches. Mine was called a Dutchman, which had ham and cheese and a creamy sauce made of brown sugar and mustard. My wife ordered an Italian sausage pretzel sandwich that she devoured. We of course had to try a plain soft pretzel too. The market sold a lot of touristy Amish stuff like maple syrup, soft pretzel mix, bacon dressing, and empty pretzel casings for hot dogs (pretzel dogs). Probably the only reason we didn't give 5 stars is because of its rustic bathroom. It's a single porta-potty that sits outside the store. Better than inside the store I suppose, but eww! No sink to wash your hands, just hand sanitizer. So be forewarned; take care of your private business somewhere else before dropping by.

Luckily, my daughter and her fiancé live in Philly and brought a bag with them to Dallas while we were all in town for Hannahs wedding. The pretzels were still soft, doughy, and incredibly satisfying with just the right amount of salt. You could tell these were the real deal classic Philly comfort food done right. The dipping sauce paired perfectly and somehow made them even more addictive. The Staff was very knowledgeable and sweet.. Now I completely understand why they were featured on CBS Sunday Morning. A simple pretzel turned into one of the most memorable bites of the weekend.

Philly Pretzel Factory in Lansdale has definitely earned 5 stars from me…read more I usually come here when I need trays for parties or events, and they've always had my order ready on time and accurate. It can be a busy place, but the line usually keeps moving. Pretzels are also an easy crowd-pleaser for a group since they work well for kids, adults, and vegetarians. I've compared pricing with other Philly Pretzel Factory locations, and this one has been noticeably better. For example, a large rivet tray is $8 less here than at the Blue Bell location. Parking is probably the main thing to keep in mind when you're stopping in for a pickup. I usually suggest checking the lots behind the nearby brewery and coffee shops rather than trying to fight for a spot right out front. I'd also recommend ordering online. The process is easy, and it's a good way to see all of the tray sizes and dipping sauce options before you order. One thing I've changed over the years is my pickup timing. I used to schedule an earlier pickup just to be safe, but now I try to pick everything up closer to the start of the party. The pretzels are much better fresh, and after sitting for a few hours they can start to get hard. One experience that really stuck with me was when their credit card system went down. Instead of making it a hassle, they ended up giving me the tray for free. That kind of customer service definitely helped turn me into a loyal customer.

Hammond's Pretzel Bakery is a historic pretzel bakery that opened in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in…read more1931. It was founded by baker William Lichty and his grandfather William Hammond. At the height of the Great Depression, Lichty had an idea to open his own pretzel bakery. He enlisted the help of Hammond: his grandfather and next-door-neighbor. Hammond had worked as a pretzel baker in the 1800s and brought with him an excellent recipe for sourdough pretzels. They set up shop in their adjoining garages, where the pretzels were rolled by hand and baked in a brick oven. Other family members soon came on board to assist in the operation. Lichty's daughter and son-in-law, Carol and Tom Nicklaus, took over the business in the 1970s. Today it is run by their son and daughter Brian Nicklaus and Karen Achtermann. Hammond's Pretzel Bakery is the oldest continuously family-operated handmade pretzel bakery in the United States. Still operating in the same location, and still rolling pretzels by hand, Hammond's bakes 1,500 pounds of pretzels on a daily basis. My family and I recently visited Hammond's Pretzel Bakery while we were traveling through Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. The area may be known for its rich Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but it's also known for its rich pretzel history and production. It just so happens that pretzels are my favorite snack! The bakery has a small retail shop for customers to buy pretzel products directly. It smelled amazing when we walked in. We also enjoyed watching the freshly-baked pretzels coming out on the conveyor belt. Hammond's produces a large variety of pretzel snacks: the most popular are their classic old-fashioned sourdough pretzels which come packaged in an iconic five pound orange-and-green can. We decided to stock up on multiple flavor varieties to snack on while we were on the road, including: "Buffalo Ranch", "Dill Pickle", "Garlic Herb", "Cinnamon Sugar", and "Chocolate Covered Clusters". They were all delicious! We don't get to Pennsylvania often, but I think it's safe to say that we'll be ordering more pretzel products from Hammond's online store in the future!

My Brother and I stopped by here on our way from York to Philadelphia. What a cool spot!…read more The shop in front is pretty tiny, but has enough room for a few folks to mingle around. The pretzels from the oven come out right there in the gift shop on the conveyor belt. They even gave us a fresh pretzel off the line. So delicious! I bought about $20.00 worth of pretzels for family and friends back home in AZ/CA. The 2 ladies in the shop were very kind and helpful. They even gave us the tip to look in the 3 back windows of the building on the way out. We did, and we saw about 10 people hand rolling pretzels. YES....they hand roll each (big) pretzel. What attention to detail! Simply amazing. Must stop if you are back in Central PA.

This unassuming gem of a pretzel factory has been around since '83 and offers freshly-baked, handmade pretzels that come in a variety of flavors (regular, extra salt, reduced sodium, extra dark versions, whole wheat options, low protein, as well as flavored (garlic and sesame)). They're all certified Kosher, too! When the hubs and I knew we were going to be in the area, we made sure to call ahead to make an appointment to take one of their free tours. Our tour guide was Ms. Vera, and she was super informative and sooo sweet! We got to see the making of the dough, how it was kneaded by the machines, how each pretzels were all made by hand (super impressive!), how they were put in the oven and baked, and then saw how the pretzels were seasoned and packaged in the bag. We also had the chance to try a hot-out-of-the-oven extra dark pretzel - super crunchy, but a little too 'burnt' for me, but it would be super delicious dipped in hot spicy mustard or some type of cheese! The hubs and I bought a bag of extra salted pretzels and the garlic, so can't wait to dig in! Just note that this is a true pretzel factory, very no-nonsense, and even the sign is hard to miss. However, once you find it, you'll have an educational time. The managers and the employees were all super welcoming and super friendly :D +free pretzel factory tour :D +handmade pretzels! :D +plenty of parking in private lot
