Luckily, I don't have to drive to Philadelphia to get my hot pretzels. I go right over to The Pretzel Bakery in Cabin John Shopping Center. So, when I get a craving for a delicious hot pretzel I just stop by the bakery. I walked in and was greeted right away. The lady who helped me was so nice. She was just finishing up with a customer and she told me it would just be a minute. She was right...she took my order and in 2 minutes I was out the door with my hot pretzel and mustard. It was soft, pillowy, and full of flavor. The Pretzel Bakery is a small bakery, but has counter seats available at the window incase you want to enjoy your pretzel there. It is a lovely little bakery and I am thrilled to have them close by. Thank you Pretzel Bakery.

I love a good hot dog, I don't care why they're made of, you can never make me hate hot dogs. And when I want a good hot dog that I know is gonna be amazing every time, I'm gonna get the pretzel dog. So here I was on a Saturday night and I smell that delicious pretzel dough, I hadn't eaten like all day so I got 3 pretzel dogs. I was full after 2 and just stashed the 3rd in my coat pocket because it was wrapped in foil and who's gonna know ?? Right, right. So I probably went to like 3 more bars after that. Got home, crashed. Woke up and was like "why is there a hot dog in my pocket?" And did I eat it? Yes I did and it was still delicious. Truly an ode to yet another fun night in fells. Not to mention the service is always friendly and fast. It's so convenient and it's right in the heart of the little square area. So it's always there if you need a little pick me up while hitting the bars or checking out some of the local shops, or even just sitting by the water and enjoying the weather. It's simple and it's yummy.

I am not much of a beer drinker so was happy to see they had some cocktail options. I ordered the Blackberry mule. It was just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion. My friend got a flight- their favorite was the Udder Chocolate with Boats and Hose as the runner up. I wasn't originally planning to get food but could not help myself when I saw they had a Chicago style hotdog. It was tasty despite being a bit of a mess to eat with the topping piled high. It comes with a side of kettle cooked chips that somehow managed to be just as good, maybe even better than the hot dog. The bartenders were pleasant and efficient with checking in on us and clearing plates as needed.

They've got an excellent selection of brats and sausages, salamis, cheeses, pierogis, German novelty items, chocolates, and--of course--wine! The only downside? Not all staff seem familiar with German specialty foods. I actually asked about pierogis and was told they didn't know what they were... until I stumbled across them in the freezer myself. ‍ and BTW... the potato onion had a nice pepper flavoring. Still, the variety and authenticity make it worth the trip--just be prepared to browse and discover some gems on your own. Perfect for all your Oktoberfest cravings!

I asked her a few questions, as this was my first time there. The jalapeño pretzel looked tasty, so I settled on that, a hotdog pretzel, and a cheese dip. I paid about ten bucks, which was a pretty good deal. The hotdog pretzel was good! Next time, I'll grab some mustard for that one. The jalapeño pretzel was delicious. I did wish I bought it as soon as it came from the oven. It gave my jaw a bit of a workout, but I still enjoyed it! I was disappointed in the cheese cup, though. The cheese was absolutely, COMPLETELY COLD! Not room temperature, but straight from a refrigerator. I wasn't expecting that and it was a bit off putting, to be honest. In the end, the pretzels were delicious and the price was decent. I'll return again, but with my own cheese next time! Lol...

We waited quite a while to be seated despite the restaurant not seeming overly crowded. Our server was friendly, though a few requests had to be repeated. The food was just okay. My fettuccine Alfredo was mediocre, my mom wasn't impressed with her meal, and my daughter didn't eat much of hers either. I also ordered a margarita with tajín on the rim, which completely overpowered the drink for me. The highlight of the visit was the complimentary Mother's Day stemless wine glass, which was a thoughtful touch and a nice keepsake.

Located inside an industrial building in Silver Spring's Lyttonsville, DC Pretzel Company sells made-to-order pretzels for those who order ahead.

When the worker came out, he said he snuck in a garlic pretzel as a gift. (The family before us also got something for free as a fun surprise.) All three pretzels were so good! Of course they were very warm, tasty, and with perfect texture. The best pretzel in the area is here!

When you arrive, you just call or text never having to leave your car. They are delivered to your car and served hot. I couldn't help myself I just ate them out of the box while driving. No time for mustard because I couldn't wait. I love the chewy texture inside and the bottom has a light crisp. I love all the flavors especially the jalapeno. It has a slight kick. Honestly all the flavors are great so I always order at least one of each. The owner is super nice and threw in an extra original pretzel. What an awesome gesture. I've gone to pickup every Saturday and Sunday since my last visit and will go every weekend until I get sick of soft pretzels but that will never happen! Soft pretzels definitely have a special place in my belly, I meant heart!
