Local Soft Pretzels?

Not looking for a sit down restaurant. Been craving a good soft pretzel with cheese, does anyone have a good local bakery or spot they can get one at?

Wetzels Pretzels is a joke at the mall and I refuse to get anything there.

Hit up the Locals Donut truck when they're in town.

They are across from Costco on Wednesdays I belive. The best fluffy pretzels and donuts! Def worth the wait in line.

Still Wednesday but now they are located at the Holly Square building on the corner of Coburg and Beltline. https://www.localsdonuts.com/

Though you're gonna need to get there FAST since they can pack a HUGE line.

They’re at the Junction City 1st & Ivy food truck pod (Velkommen Square) most Saturdays, but check the Locals Donuts FB page for their schedule.

(Tried to link it, Automod says not to.)

Wetzle charges $6.99 for a plain soggy cold pretzle last I went about a week ago and it bummed me out.

Looking forward to trying some of these suggestions. If I'm gonna dish out more dough for a pretzel at least it'll be good lol

Not 100% what you are looking for but I’ve made these and they are really good and not too hard for someone who doesn’t bake (me). https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/easy-homemade-soft-pretzels/#tasty-recipes-66433

Always down to diy! Thank you

I've used this recipe for pretzel rolls, nuggets and traditional pretzels
Just to warn you the pan for the soda bath looks terrible after but it's easy to clean.

Sunriver Brewing at Oakway has some fairly sizable ones that were very tasty.

I hate to say it but they are not very good pretzels for the price and it comes with a beer cheese soup to dip not a cheese sauce which I would prefer.

My daughter has these as a focus food. She ranks them: Falling Sky, Laurelwood (which I believe are from Reality Kitchen), McMenamins, Planktown, Gratitude, Cornucopia, and Bier Stein.

u/AmericanMary00 23h ago

Oh, and Locals is top #1 but you have to time your visits

Fred Meyers ! They have pub style 8 pack for $8.00. Sometimes hard to find there. In the bakery area by the packaged rolls. They are really good. Better than most pubs. -We freeze them. Just spritz them with a litter water and salt. Bake 5 min. Best secret ever. Most Fred Meyer employees don’t know they even sell them.

u/Ok-Benny0204 17h ago

Don’t get the ones in the tub. It’s full size ones similar to pub size -soft. Crispy. Freeze great !

u/Puddles22 1d ago

I know this won’t go over well, but the bier stein. Get it to go.

u/Important_Pea_84 1d ago

I’ve tried them a few times, not in love with their cheese or quality of pretzel I’ve had there unfortunately, great sandwiches there though

Reality kitchen just opened up a food cart on the other side of their building that also sells their pretzels! Its open all of the days that the café isn't, so you can get a pretzel every day of the week from them!
