Her phone was right next to where she was rolling the pretzels. Then she got up for a minute and put her hand in the tip jar which had coins and paper money. She continued rolling pretzel dough after that without washing her hands.

We found Philly Pretzel Factory online and saw they looked good so we gave them a shot! The business is pretty much just an ordering counter with a small bar to snack at, but no seating for groups... it's a take out establishment. The place looked clean and well lit, and I was quickly greeted by a friendly woman manning the store. Arianna determined my exact order was custom and offered to prepare the fresh pretzels as I waited, which I appreciated. Arianna revealed she is the owner / entrepreneur and obviously takes great pride in her business. Arianna sold me on a few pretzel dips, and even threw in some extra goodies for my order, which was done about 15 minutes later. The pretzels and dips were a huge hit; all of my family loved them and didn't leave any leftovers! This place is worth the visit if you've got a pretzel craving!

Parking is a little difficult but not too bad. They offered breakfast pretzel that included bacon or sausage with egg and cheese. Also serving hot dog, bratwurst and Italian sausage stuffed pretzel. Of course they have traditional twists and nuggets. I tried the bacon, egg and cheese pretzel and some twists. Loved the breakfast pretzel- very tasty and cheesy. The twists are good but I wish they were a little crisper on the outside and saltier. I should have specified that I like a salty pretzel but the twists have great flavor. Cheese sauce was a tasty dip! This is such a great addition to our little Affton community and I wish them much success!

My only recommendation would be to NOT serve COLD cheese cups. I have never ordered pretzels before and given an "out the refrigerator" cold cup Of cheese. They have them already pre packed and they grab out the fridge. It just does not go or taste good. If in the area, I would try again.

We enjoy sitting upstairs or on the back patio in nicer weather - so many options for a get-together with friends. Service at the bar and the food service counter are excellent. Staff are friendly and always have helpful suggestions. We recently came for Sunday lunch the week of Christmas, and there wasn't much of a crowd. This was great for a relaxed lunch with the kids and brother visiting from out of town. Plenty of seating! There are kid-friendly options here, with the pizza and pub snack menu. My picky daughter (not a fan of pizza) enjoys the pretzels. There is something for everyone. The salads have fresh ingredients, made-to-order. Pizzas on the menu are excellent and can also be modified or build-your-own. Pizzas and other hot appetizers come out on paper-lined pans. When ordering salads, they come in a takeout box rather than a plate or dish. You may need an additional box or plate, because the salads are packed full and you might have a mess! Utensils are plastic. There is a bit of a disconnect because the food and overall cozy vibe seem worthy of real plates and silverware ;) but the plus side is quick table turnover on the busy days or the days where everyone is out on the patio. It's nice to be able to order and pay at the food service counter. You will want to stay a while, but you'll be free to leave whenever you're ready to move on to your next stop!
