Martin’s Pretzels

Let me say the pretzels are fantastic. I’ve bought them from the farmers markets since 1984 – 85. When we moved to San Francisco in 1997, we had them delivered. We continued to do that for a while, then stopped. We started ordering again over a year ago. We ordered the $ 40.00 box, about once a month. The pretzels were still great… for about 7 months. At first, one or packages in the box were stale. We took that as the cost of doing business. Month by month, there were more stale packages until last month, April 2014, half the box was stale. We let Martin’s know once we had 5 stale packages in our order. No reply. Each month, the amount of stale bags increased. Again, we emailed them. No reply. Once we hit the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ stale to fabulous mark, we called. No reply. Called again. No reply. And again.
Guess what? No reply. We miss them and would love to order them again, but we don’t want to pay $ 40.00 for $ 20.00 worth of pretzels, if we’re lucky.
At the rate they’re going, we’d be getting $ 15.00 worth of pretzels for the bargain price of $ 40.00. We would just like a reply so we could order more pretzels.

I love the pretzels here. I have gone out of my way to order them and have them shipped home. Always a great crunch and always delish!

Pretzel guy was very happy to give big samples to a group of girls but when I asked for a sample he sighed and gave me a measly nub. Really? I’m not your fancy huh? Okay, let’s see how this pitiful nub taste. Hmm, it’s just like any regular pretzel but with a hint of sh*tty service. Good olé foul sh*tty service! I knew something was special with Martin’s Pretzels after all!

YUMM I love Pennsylvania dutch style pretzels. I remember 1^st hearing about Martin’s a few years ago on the Food Network. They are crunchy and flavorful. They are greaat. If you don’t like it too salty, then opt for the unsalted.
The people working the stand are very generous and are willing to give out samples to try.
Get the 2 pounder and bring it for a party. It’s a great party snack.

Pretzels are good but you get a crazy Bible message on the back of each packet.
I really don’t need to be preached to when I’m eating snack food.

I love me some Martin’s pretzels! My favorite is the unsalted, whole wheat. You can get a whopping 11 of those bad boys for a mere $ 3.
The guy who sells the pretzels has a very warm smile and always offers an extra for the road. Today, I overheard a patron reply «no thanks». Why would anyone purchasing Martin’s pretzels refuse an extra? I was tempted to yell out, «I’ll take her free pretzel!», but decided against making a fool of myself as I foresee many more trips to the stand in my future.

I’ve just received a shipment of Martin’s Pretzels, which I’ve enjoyed on visits to Union Square. With shipping, the cost came to over $ 40, a hefty fee, but, I figured worth a splurge. But upon opening the box, I was met with a religious tract with instructions for being saved. I don’t appreciate being proselytized with my snack foods. Especially when I’m paying a premium. Now looking for a suitable replacement; Martin’s has lost my business.

I wanted to like these guys since I support most of the farmers at the Union Sq. Greenmarket, but I couldn’t make myself like the pretzels. One of my favorite chocolatiers uses their pretzels, so I was really excited to try them. To my dismay, they were really dry and hard, and even the salted one was too bland on the inside and too salty on the outside.
They have whole wheat and regular, salted and non-​salted. The guys who run the stand were cool and really passionate about their pretzels. We still bought some pretzels to share with other people and see if they’ll work better incorporated into recipes.

These are the best pretzels you will ever eat. They are made lovingly made in Pennsylvania Dutch country. They have been reviewed by many and called the Mercedes Benz of pretzels.
The only ways to get them is mail order or at a green market. You won;t be sorry. Not to mention ladies, the men who sell the pretzels are notoriously cute and even sign autographs.
Let me put it this way, I once was going downtown just to get pretzels, when my boss was in shock at the idea. I told him just wait until I get back then you will understand. One bite made him a believer, he too it hooked.
One bite and you will never go back.
