The food was good, but it didn't completely live up to my expectations. I'm certainly willing to give it another try.

Instead of the typical Timbits, she brought me warm cinnamon sugar balls that were chewier, fresher, and definitely sweeter! I also sampled a feta and cheese pastry that she heated up for me, and it was honestly one of the best things I've ever tasted. It was remarkably fresh, even in the evening, with a wonderfully cheesy filling and a crispy exterior—simply outstanding! My only wish is that they had at least a small table for two.

The dish was excessively sweet, and a large portion of the chocolate ended up stuck to the paper bag. Overall, it simply wasn't to my liking. read more The dish was excessively sweet, and a large portion of the chocolate ended up stuck to the paper bag. Overall, it simply wasn't to my liking.

I usually have a great experience here and often look forward to their pretzel bites. However, tonight when I arrived at 8:30 PM, I was told they were out of pretzel bites because they had already shut down operations and couldn’t make any more. This place used to serve customers until the 9 PM closing time. I'm not sure exactly when they stop preparing the food, but if you want to order from here, be sure to arrive well before closing.

I spent over $9 on what was supposed to be a parmesan garlic soft pretzel, but it was just a soft crust shaped like a pretzel—not the real deal. The garlic flavor came from oil that tasted spoiled or rancid. I also paid extra for marinara sauce, which turned out to be a cheap, tinned sauce resembling watery tomato juice. Definitely not worth the money. After eating, my mouth tasted like garlic oil for two hours. Avoid Pretzelmaker’s menu if you can.
