This was one of the best pretzels I've ever had! I ordered a regular and a jalapeño one. They were soft and just the most amazing flavor read more

I wish I could give 4.5 but because I can't I'm going to go with a 5/5. You can smell this place as soon as you walk in the market and I think you'll have a hard time walking away once you smell all the deliciousness! The service was great and if you're not sure what to get they'll definitely point you in the right direction! We ended up going with a couple different options and dips. I think you should get at least 1 large pretzel and some of the twists so you can try a few different things. We tried an original pretzel, an everything twist and a jalapeno cheddar twist. For dipping we went with the beer cheese and the honey mustard. The beer cheese and honey mustard were really tasty, they're both homemade and really full of flavor. They complimented one another and the pretzels we dipped in them! read more

We will miss our favourite Ohio stomping ground, the North Market, and this convenient pretzel maker. I can't enjoy the baked goodies like I once did. But I can cheat from time to time. We come here. They're always seem busy. Nature of the place.The people here have been great on every single visit. Not so easy to do with as busy as they get. The best item here is the Asiago, Herb & Cracked Pepper Pretzel. It's a large pretzel for about $8. I usually end up just getting the Garlic Lovers with Parmesan and Marinara dipping sauce. The pretzels are little harder than I'm used to up north, still taste excellent! They also have cinnamon sugary pretzels and pretzel twists that I wish I could've tried. All good. 12/24 read more

A small booth in North Market in downtown Columbus that serves freshly made pretzels. They offer a nice array of styles and flavors. We tried the smaller pretzel twists as the standard pretzels are huge! My choice was a jalapeño cheddar which had good flavor and a nice chew on the dough. My gf had a cinnamon sugar twist and loved it. Give them a try and enjoy walking around the North Market. read more

They have so many different flavors and options of large pretzels or small bites with a variety of dips as well. I chose the beer cheese pretzel and a side of extra cheese. So delicious and full of flavor I wish I could have tried them all. We opted for the savory treats this visit. read more

I would recommend trying the pretzels at Brezel and definitely getting a dip to go with it. They were freshly made, popular, and delicious. We got a garlic butter dip to go with the pretzel which was amazing. We ordered a normal pretzel but they had many flavors. The staff were very nice and fast with the orders as they had a line whenever we went by the booth. You can easily eat the pretzel walking around or going upstairs to sit down and look below. read more

Bretzel is amazing! We can't to know their delicious pretzels and their unbelievable beer cheese when the original location of North High Brewing used to serve them before they had their own kitchen. Thank goodness we figured out where they came from before they stopped serving them because they are the best pretzels and the most amazing beer cheese we have ever had! The cheddar jalapeño pretzels are delicious and they were out so this time I tried the cheddar and chive. Omg it was good. My husband always goes for the regular. It's a classic. Did I mention the beer cheese is the best??! It's thick and garlicky and amazing!! read more

Stopped by the location when I was at North Market while visiting Columbus. The pretzels were tasty! They have a nice selection of flavors and offer full size pretzels and pretzel sticks. I tried a garlic parm and cheese pretzel and jalapeño cheese stick. Both were good! Parking at the market is cheap if you get your parking ticket validated. Don't forget to ask, if they don't offer, when checking out at a vendor. read more

I've been found guilty of em-Brezel-ment. I've been em-Brezel-ing pretzels, from here and other places. I admit it. I accept the punishment. Just don't take my pretzels away. You'll have to pry them out of my cold, hungry hands. This is a very interesting and slightly generic Pretzel place located inside the Short North Market, which is one of the heartbeats of Columbus and is a place you should head directly to when exploring the foods and culture of this great old Ohio city. So if you're interested in pretzels than this might be a good stop for you. On the other hand they're not cheap and they're nothing like the Amish pretzels in places like Maryland and Pennsylvania, try Miller's Twist in the Reading Terminal Market in Philly for true Pretzel Perfection, or Sadie Anne's in the Upper Marlboro Farmers Market near DC. But overall I think they do a good job. Barbie liked it although she wasn't obsessed. read more

Brezel offers a large variety of giant soft pretzels and smaller pretzel twists. They also offer numerous dips, so there are numerous delightful combos to be had. Everything in the case looked absolutely amazing, but we decided to start with a couple of pretzel twists, in plain and cheddar jalapeno. They were really tasty, with a nice texture, and the cheddar jalapeno had a nice little kick. We definitely want to try some more flavors in the future! It is conveniently located in the North Market. The staff were friendly and helpful too. read more

When I was exploring North Market and stumbled across Brezel, my inner fatty pretzel-lover screamed and rushed directly to their stand. All the pretzels are HUGE and so delicious looking. The original pretzel is $4.50, and I was eyeing the specialty pretzels, which cost $5 and include: 1) Cinnamon Sugar 2) Cherry Rosemary 3) Garlic Lovers & Parmesan 4) Roasted Garlic Onion and Cheddar 5) French Onion and Asiago 6) Spinach Asiago Oh my goodness, it was just SO HARD to choose one! They had the assorted pretzel twist sticks option, but I really wanted a whole pretzel. Because I love spinach, I decided to go for the Spinach Asiago. It was warm, savory, delicious pretzel heaven! Mmm-mmmmm!!!!!!! I walked around North Market simply enjoying munching into the pretzel, and I'm so happy that I got a taste of delicious Bavarian pretzel. read more

Ordered the pretzel sticks twice for menu item at graduation my children's grad parties. They were a hit! Great service and they are so good! read more

GOOD: - Pretzels - Cinnamon butter BAD: - Service - "Beer cheese" is just raw garlic and shredded cheddar mashed into cold butter. I was buying a regular pretzel. As I was at the counter, they pulled a fresh tray of cinnamon pretzels out. I said "ooooh can I add one of those fresh, warm cinnamon ones?" The cashier added it to the but gave me a cold pretzel. I asked but she said "these are fresh too" and refused to give me one of the warm pretzels and then muttered "ass" after I didn't give a 20% tip. Guess what? If you refuse to take two additional steps to get the only thing I specifically wanted, I am not tipping. read more

I found myself hungry and randomly at the North Market, just past the busy lunchtime rush. It was like Christmas! I had dozens of delicious options at the tip of my fingers and the only question was which one to pick. I decided that for a snack, I was going to finally try Brezel. I've walked by it countless of times in the past and it always looked and smelled so good! Those looks and smells were not deceiving! After checking out what they had, I decided I was going to experiment. Instead of selecting one large pretzel I opted to get three different pretzels sticks. They were only about a dollar fifty a piece and I got the chance to try three! I choose the original (salt), everything bagel, and the cheddar and jalapeño. All three of them where absolutely amazing! They were just the right amount of soft and chewy... perfectly golden on the outside and very flavorful. You could easily tell which pretzel stick was which. They sure know what they're doing! Out of the three I tried I would say that the everything bagel was my number one pick and the original with salt came in a close second. The staff was amazing, a young bearded gentleman to be specific. He helped me pick the ones I got and also gave me recommendations for other great spots in the North Market. I'll definitely be back and I'm pumped to try new flavors and even some of their dips. Gosh, I'm sitting here drooling right now. Thanks Brezel! read more

My friend and I stopped here to get pretzels for the next morning. This was perfect. They stayed well overnight and were the perfect snack for the next morning. I got salted and my friend got parmesan garlic. I wish we had gotten frozen ones to last even longer. read more

They have the best pretzels. You can watch them make them as they do daily. They have several different flavors and dipping sauces. They also always have several vegan options so I am never disappointed read more

Brezel - Pretzel - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I stopped by here two Saturday mornings ago with my wife. We happened to be at the North Market wandering around whenever we saw Brezel. Since my wife loves pretzels and we hadn't eaten yet I figured that we should get some. Since it's a food stand in the market there isn't too much to saw about it other than they have a display window with their pretzels in it and little signs showing the flavors of each. They have both full sized pretzels as well as twists which is nice if you want to try one without having a whole pretzel. For our snack on this day my wife and I decided to go with a full sized Gouda and garlic and then a twist of the Fig, jalapeño and mozzarella. We started off with the fig, jalapeño and mozzarella. While the pretzel itself was nice with a crusty exterior and soft interior, the only flavor I could taste when eating it was the mozzarella. The heat from the jalapeño did show itself a bit of the finish but I never did get any fig which is a shame since that is why we bought it. After that we tried the full sized pretzel and much like the twist the pretzel itself was good. It was the Gouda which was great on this pretzel though as it had a smoky flavor which my wife and I absolutely loved. That means that the garlic took a bit of a backseat but it was still there and helped add to the pretzel. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. At $5 for their specialty pretzels, it's not a bad price and I really did enjoy the garlic and Gouda. read more

Tasty stuff here and great service, too. I got one stick of each flavor (I think there were 5 total), but my hungry/impatient self forgot to take pictures! I enjoyed the oat and mixed berry pretzel and the garlic pretzel, too. My favorite, though, was the plain. It's just so classic! In the future, I'd love to try the plain warmed up. Yum! read more

I love Germany and I love fresh pretzels, so was very excited to spot this Bavarian-style brezeleria (is that a word?) while stopping into North Market this past weekend. They have a great selection here but I felt that the pretzels were a little tough. I've had pretzels in Philadelphia and Munich, Germany (two places well known for pretzels) and by comparison the pretzels at this shop could have been a bit softer. I like that they offer $1 twists, if you want to try different flavors without having to buy a giant $4.50-5 pretzel. I tried the dark chocolate chunk with salt and the cinnamon sugar which were pretty good, but preferred the basic salted pretzel. You can add a dip for $1, and I was disappointed by the beer cheese, which was highly recommended. The flavor was great, but it was refrigerated and stiff. I was expecting something warm to dip my pretzel. When I visited they had a bunch of flavors: "everything" (just the like the bagel), jalapeno cheddar and others. Just like at Wetzel's Pretzels, you can watch them rolling and folding the fresh pretzel dough. I really want to come back but hope that they can make their pretzels softer! read more

Savory, sweet or plain. These pretzels are delicious. The Asiago, herb and black pepper is my favorite. Pretzels are made through out the day as full size pretzels or pretzel bites. There are multiple dipping sauces as well. The best way to eat these are when they are warm. read more

Great pretzels for snack. They were not too sweet nor salty. Just right flavors. Friendly service

What a great pretzel! I did pay $6 for a pretzel + nacho cheese to dip, but it was nearly a meal and I highly recommend the asiago pretzel! I'd definitely go here again for a large snack or a side to my meal! read more

There are a lot of interesting choices of flavors. I had the jalapeño cheddar brezel. It's good with the nacho cheese sauce. Compared to a place like Auntie Anne's this pretzel was more tough, chewy, and less sweet. I would try more flavors next time I'm in town. read more

This just wasn't very good. We got Brezel while visiting North Market (amazing place!) and ordered two pretzel sticks. At $1.50 a piece, they are tiny and not a very good value. We got Spinach & Asiago and Garlic & Parmesan. Both of them were so overpowering I couldn't enjoy the pretzels at all! The Spinach tasted strongly of pepper (why is that in there?) and while the Garlic was better I couldn't taste anything but Garlic (no Parmesan). The pretzels themselves are very tough and not soft at all. Overall, there are many better places in North Market let alone Columbus that I would suggest to go to instead. But if you like extremely strong, pungent flavors then you may like these pretzels! read more

I was highly skeptical of a gourmet pretzel place, but I gave it a shot. Boy was I wrong. Stopping in on a Saturday afternoon, the market was crazy busy. Waiting in line for my pretzel, I had plenty of time to look over the pretzel & dip choices along with watch them making fresh pretzels. There were about 6 options available but they were running very low on available choices and were out of many of the pretzel sticks. I would've preferred to get a few sticks, but since they were out of the ones I would've wanted, I opted for a Sriracha Mozzarella pretzel with a side of the garlic herb butter. It came to $6 which is a little steep. I waited until I made it home to try it out and OMG was it good. Nice and spicy (and I like A LOT of spice) and full of flavor. Not too chewy and the cheese flavor definitely came through. My disappointment came with the dip as it was still pretty hard about 45 minutes after I ordered it and hard to get onto my pretzel. I also thought it was the wrong taste for the pretzel I chose. I wish they had a board with pretzel options and suggested dips. I'll definitely be back to try a different flavor and ask the staff for a recommendation for a dip or cream cheese (the beer cheese option sounded amazing!). Hopefully this time they'll have a few more options available to try along with the pretzel sticks. read more

Delicious pretzel. Our family enjoys a pretzel from here but would prefer them hot (or even warm). The cheese sauce is $1.00 extra so not sure about that but something to make a nod to. Good, convenient when you are at North Market. read more

Out of all of the great food options at North Market, this place really caught my eye. Along with being a pretzel lover, the pretzels and the store itself are beautiful to look at, which is what really got my attention. There are so many unique flavors and varieties of pretzels offered at Brezel. I ordered the Onion Cheddar and Spinach Asiago Pretzels. They were served warm and fresh with dipping sauces of your choice. I absolutely loved everything! The staff was friendly and despite the store being very busy during my visit, my order was ready quickly. Brezel has some of the most delicious pretzels I have ever experienced, and I can't wait to try more flavors the next time I'm in Columbus! read more

Stopped by and tried a variety of of the twists with beer cheese. We liked the ability to try a bunch of the tasty flavors without having to commit to any one! Would have liked if the pretzels and dips were warm. The beer cheese dip was closer to a cold whipped cream cheese. read more

I wish this was like Jeni's where you can sample. There was half a dozen flavor choices to choose from. I could have picked any to try, with the exception of chocolate. Of course that was the ones that had just come out of the oven. The best pretzel is a warm pretzel. Since it was my very last choice, I took a chance on another selection. I went with the French onion and Asiago cheese bite. The staff was very friendly and helpful with my questions. The previous reviews stating $1 Bites, should now be updated to $1.50. My cash in her hand, her pretzel in my hand. Out the door I run to beat the next parking attendant click of the hour. Didn't make it. 2 minutes over is another full hour charged. My sweetie unwraps the wax paper and takes a bite. Uh Oh, I heard crunch. She hands it to me, and I immediately notice the firm-ness. Uh Oh. I crunch into my disappointed dream of a soft pretzel. Great flavor and imagination, but I am trying to look past the crunch. I need to ask next visit. Yes, I will return. I will also ask more questions about what time it was made. read more

Brezel - French Onion & Asiago pretzel twist. $1.50 - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Not sure how I'm just finally reviewing this place, because soft pretzels are my JAM! Had a giant cheddar jalapeno pretzel, and chose the cream cheese dip to help offset the heat. MAN, was it good! I told myself I'd only eat half... but I ate the whole thing. No regrets. If you want to try multiple smaller ones, make sure to get here earlier in the day as they tend to run out of the twists. They have a great selection of either savory or sweet options of pretzel flavors and dip flavors, so there's something for everyone. Unless you're gluten free; then I'm so so sorry that you have to miss out. A unique, affordable, and delicious treat to try when you're at the North Market! read more

These pretzels are great. I've been here a few times and the move is to go with the more bold pretzel & dip flavor combos. I had a French Onion & Asiago pretzel with some kind of fancy French onion butter dip that was phenomenal. The Jalapeño Cheddar pretzel is also top notch. Their beer cheese tastes good, but is served cold and with a thick, dense texture. My wife loved it. Important to note these are not "Auntie Anne" style served greasy, buttery, and warm. But they also don't need to be that. Try them next time you're at North Market read more

I've been wanting to try Brezel for EVER, and I finally got to go last Saturday. I worked across the street and decided to run over for a quick pretzel, and on a Saturday morning after the Race for a Cure, I was so excited that North Market wasn't overwhelmingly busy and I was helped at Brezel right away. I tried a big jalapeno cheddar pretzel and two of the small sticks, one was french onion and the other asiago. On the side, I ordered a classic nacho cheese dipping sauce. Everything I ordered was AMAZING. I love soft pretzels more than most people I know, so this was an exciting visit for me and I was so pumped that it lived up to expectations. My only complaint was that the pretzels weren't very warm, making them a little harder but it definitely did not "ruin" the taste of the pretzels so I still enjoyed every bit of it. The variety at Brezel is something I haven't seen anywhere else, so I really feel like this is a place that isn't going to get old for me because I can order different dipping sauces and pretzels every time I go! I will definitely be returning and would recommend Brezel to both sweet and savory lovers. read more

LOVE it! Women owned -women run business. I heard the person used to bar tend at R bar (which carries Brezel pretzels as well that go quite nicely with beer) and the entrepreneurial bug bit her. I have been enjoying the pretzel sticks lately as one can try more than 1 flavor without huge expense. $5 minimum to pay with plastic. read more

I've tried Brezel a few different times, and everytime I'm hopeful that I'll really like it only to be disappointed. I've had the garlic, cinnamon sugar, and jalapeno cheddar pretzels and all were pretty good but none blew me away. My one complaint about Brezel is that their pretzels are usually lukewarm or cold and really lack the hot, fresh pretzel taste that I want. Twists for $1 are an okay price as is $4.50 for the very large regular pretzels, but the room temperature nature makes the quality seem subpar to me. read more

This is the best pretzel place ever. I only wish that when we got there that the pretzels would be ready. Most times on a Saturday morning, pickings are slim. I don't want to wait for my yummy pretzel, and it is a yummy pretzel!! My hubby and I always buy at least two!! Shh,, sometimes more! Don't tell anyone. Yes, these pretzels are that delicious. Love the jalapeño Give me the cinnamon Wait, try something different?! Oh yes, love !!! read more

Soft, warm pretzels with fun and unique toppings. I've never been disappointed! I'd recommend the coconut almond pretzel. Even their regular cream cheese is a delight--soft, airy, and whipped. They normally have around 4 full-size pretzel options and a few pretzel twist choices whenever I've gone. read more

So good! So carby! So dippy! Yes, I'm a pretzel lover so it's no surprise that I'm pretty happy with the offerings at Brezel. yes, they are served cold, but you could absolutely warm up those little carb twists in hte oven for a few minutes and dunk them into the (many) dippings of your choosing. I snagged a boatload of options to share with staff before a large event, but I did get to sample a few. After trying a bite of the regular (salted), I found that cheddar apple with cinnamon butter was the clear winner. And let's be real, anything dipped in butter is better. Brezel's cinnamon butter is delightful. I appreciate the myriad of flavors and dips as well as the twist and regular sizes. If you're looking for a (gluten packed) snack that will likely appeal to the masses, get yourself to Brezel. read more

I could sing the praises of Maria and Brittany forever. Seriously. They made a die hard customer out of me after just one purchase! I contacted them a few weeks ago to inquire about a "birthday pretzel", you know, instead of a birthday cake for a friend who doesn't like sweets. I received an enthusiastic email response from Maria, and emailed back and forth while we figured out when to meet and where since the new space isn't open yet. I ended up picking it up from Maria's house, and received instructions for heating up the amazing Pretzelsaurus. Much to my surprise (and delight), not only did I get one giant pretzel, but I got 2! Since the first was a bit smaller than the usual, they gave me a second more perfect one. Oh my. So much delicious pretzel-y goodness. I presented it to my friend and she was very excited about it. We warmed it up, and it was perfect! A yummy balance of flavors (we had the everything variety). So, in summary, the best customer service I've had in at least the last year, and a wonderful product at a more than fair price. I can't wait to visit the new location (over and over and over again)! read more

Yes, I did wake up dreaming of a brezel pretzel this morning -- twisted dough bursting with coconut and almond flavor...I NEED YOU. The price is right, the workers are so happy and friendly, and there will never be another pretzel place so good.

If you love soft pretzels, I guarantee you will love Brezel. I'm shocked that no one has written about this hidden jewel before, they are all over the local papers and will open their pretzel shop at the North Market at the beginning of next year. I read about them in Columbus Underground a few weeks ago and their website had my mouth watering. I absolutely love a soft pretzel and I had to try one. They have some amazing options - apple cinnamon, rosemary garlic, pumpkin spice! I decided it was necessary to seek them out, since they don't currently have a store location. During the holiday season they are a vendor at the Columbus Winter Farmer's Market in Clintonville. I went to the market just for them and I was not disappointed. When Brittany, one of the owners, told me about the smores stuffed pretzel I nearly fainted. Smores, those are my favorite! She suggested taking it home and heating it up to get the optimal smores flavor. Sadly I wasn't going near an oven, so I opted for the rosemary garlic. She mentioned that it tasted similar to focaccia, but I think it was so much better. I tried to moderate myself, that was tough... The entire thing was soft and moist, and ridiculously delicious. I'll definitely be making some trips to the North Market just to grab a few, I have to try that smores pretzel! read more
