West Coast Pretzels — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Pretzels are delicious and the service is really friendly. The server was disarmingly friendly, not like the fake polite way common in LA, but i felt like i was ordering a burger from my friend's dad at a backyard BBQ 😂 and you can tell he has a passion for these pretzels, and it's more obvious when you take a look at their website.

I guess you should ideally wait for the fresh pretzel to cool off before eating-- that way it has a more satisfying chewiness.

The shop itself is unfussy and efficient. You can see the dough being processed and readied. You'll usually wait 10 mins as they are baked, so either order ahead, or grab a water ice...

We were using Google to find pretzels that are close to what we had in Munich. We came across West Coast Pretzels. We drove one-hour to the shop and it was definitely worth the trip!

The pretzels are Philly style soft-pretzels. They have a chewy yet soft texture. The owner is very passionate about his craft. We bought a couple of freshly baked ones and a few frozen ones to take home. The pretzels were delicious when they are warm, room-temp, or cold!

One can also pre-order different styles of pretzels from Giant to German Swabian, even all sorts of bagels. We highly recommend to check...
