I was getting ready to hop on a long train from Switzerland to Germany, and I wanted a snack that…read morewas portable and not too fussy. I saw Brezelkönig and their display of fresh, yummy-looking pretzels and knew that's exactly what I was looking for.
This small stand is located on the Bahnhofplatz (Floor -1) in the large and bustling Zurich train station, and prices are high (like everything in the country). The pretzels on offer looked gigantic in size, though, so it's a bargain if you want a large snack or something to share.
I opted for a savory Swiss cheese pretzel, and it did not disappoint. My pretzel was one of those types that have a slightly chewy exterior but a light, fluffy interior. The Swiss cheese added the perfect sharpness to complement the pretzel.
Brezelkönig takes pride in baking their goods in-house in Switzerland (their dough fermentation takes place on site, too), and they claim use raw ingredients without any additives. They sell a variety of pretzels stuffed and topped with all sorts of things, from sweet to savory to vegan and even hot dogs.
Service was friendly and fast, and my pretzel was fresh and delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place and would stop here again the next time I'm traveling via train through Switzerland!
