My wife and I went here for the first time before a Cal Football game back in November 2023 as we both really enjoy a German soft pretzel. I should note - we go to Munich two or three times a year so we think we have a good baseline of a good pretzel. This is the only place we have found in the US to have authentic German pretzels!
In addition, they have our favorite pretzel cut hamburger style with a nice butter spread in between. Coupled with a light coating of salt and the soft bread of the pretzel - it's really amazing. They also have a variety of other pretzels with toppings.
The owners have always been extremely friendly and genuine people every time we go - definitely a staple in Berkeley and East Bay. They also offer pretzel baking classes; we just did the class and had an amazing time. Definitely recommend for couples or families.
Every time we're in the area we'll come back - highly recommend.

Pretzels with Cheese Made by Us
Nothing better than a pretzel made with a German recipe! The owner is from Germany and you can taste the authenticity and pure German goodness in each one. Next time I am going to try the sweet one. The girl behind me, who clearly tried them all, said it’s really super good. Way to go - starting a delicious authentic shop during Covid.
I was surprised they don’t cost more.
The best pretzel place in Northern California! They are a small family business that started at a farmers market; so delicious that now they can have a place they call home. My favorite is the pretzel bratwurst (5/5)! Perfect firmness on the outside of the pretzel and softer inside wrapped around a perfect bratwurst. It’s not even soggy either. Top it off with a little sprinkle of salt on top! It’s even good the next day, with reheat in the microwave or in the air fryer!
Pretzel bratwurst- 5/5
Fungi cheese -4/5
Asiago -4/5
Jalapeño cheese - 4.5/5
Classic -4/5
Found out recently that they have a small freezer section near the cashier, where you can purchase frozen pretzel and reheat at home! A little bit more economical and still delicious!
Clearly, I’m a salty pretzel gal than a sweet pretzel girl.
