Soft Pretzels.
« on: September 01, 2006, 10:44:59 PM »
Hi. I will be moving to England with my family next summer and starting my A levels. When i went to see my family this summer, i realized a very weird thing: You cannot find a soft pretzel anywhere. My Nan didn't even know what it was. Currently, i live in the land of Philly Pretzels. Are there any places that you know of that have soft pretzels? Thanks!  [smiley=mickey.gif]

Apparantly they have Auntie Anne's in the UK, I've never been to one to know how similiar they are to the ones in the US, but I would think it would be the same since it's a franchise.

Hope one of them is close to you  ;)

After you arrive in the UK, you can take a nice weekend break to Germany and get all the soft pretzels you want!   :)

There used to be an Auntie Anne's at Victoria station in London but I have no idea where they are now.  But at Bluewater shopping centre in Kent there is a Mr. Pretzel that isn't all that bad. They just don't serve any dips with them.

I am really happy I found this thread...In the US I lived right outside of Philadelphia so there were soft pretzels everywhere...since I came to the UK..I haven't even been able to find regular pretzels..I have had my mom ship me over some...but to now find out that in some of the larger cities there may be soft pretzels that is great news..you made my day ...hehe
see I am so easy to please  ;D

OH!  I knew I'd had one somewhere.  That was it.  And that other coffee place...........um.............Coffee Republic?  Is that a coffee place?

And Selfridges used to have a kiosk in their food hall.  Don't know if they still do.

Yay! Thanks! I hope a lot of these places you are mentioning are near the general area that i'm moving to. I live right outside of Philly too. Soft pretzels are a staple around here. Hmmm. Man, now i'm craving one!
