PHILLY-INSPIRED SOFT PRETZELS, WITH A DC TWIST.
At The Pretzel Bakery, we serve oven-fresh, hand-rolled soft pretzels all day long. From lightly salted to sweetly seasoned, there’s plenty of flavorful options to choose from—each as delicious as they are convenient. Eat and stay a while at our Capitol Hill shop, or grab-and-go from our new spot in Cabin John Village.
Breakfast, Lunch & Beyond.
The perfect pick-me-up, our pretzels are similar to a Philly classic—but hand-rolled for a lighter, airier texture. Whether you’re looking for a breakfast bite or an after-school snack, our delicious menu items are sure to satisfy every craving, any time of day.
WE STARTED WITH A PRETZEL, AND ROLLED FROM THERE.
We’ve spent the past 10 years crafting food from our favorite memories and sharing them with the DC community. But the story behind our bakeries goes back even further. Learn how our passion for pretzels transformed a happy childhood moment into a neighborhood staple.
