A Taste of Philly Chestnut Hill

We love coming to this place. It’s just a cute little spot in the right part of town. My son’s favorite.

The pretzels are always hot and fresh, not bad price and they have lots of dipping options. The store is small but it’s never busy when I go so there is never a wait, but who wouldn’t mind hanging out and breathing in that smell for a few minutes anyway?

Soft pretzels in both Philadelphia style and Pennsylvania Dutch style how can you go wrong? Grab a twist and continue shopping in the heart of Chestnut Hill.

I have been here many times, sometimes a good experience but more negative than positive. The food is generally good and the location is great for a once a week stop for my family. That said, the place is often dirty and the staff is often rude and put out by having to serve you pretzels. My fault for continuing to spend money there.
Went in today and the place was practically shut down. We asked if they were open because very little food was out and a man I assume was the owner proceeded to say that they were «sort of open.» He then told us how we would be one of five shoppers in Chestnut Hill that day and they really should be closed. Not sure why there was a guy in the back still making more pretzels. Thanks for telling us how we were wrong as shoppers. Funny how «sort of open» did not equal a «sort of discount» or a «sort of suggestion» that they were not really up to doing their best and we should return on another day. Maybe they were only «sort of happy» to take our money. We bought five of the only menu item offered, paid extra for the cold cheese from the fridge and then went to go sit down. Man/​Owner acted exasperated that he would have to get up to let us sit in the tiny little tables and then had to take the GROSS BROOM HEAD OFF OF THE TABLE WE WERE HEADED TOWARDS. We decided not to stay and left. I am thinking we «sort of» won’t be back.

great pretzels and super friendly staff. Delicious. Will recommend!

I love their chocolate pretzel sticks and don’t forget to get a cinnamon twist and they always provide friendly and efficient service. be warned its hot in there

I bought a regular pretzel and think it is below the standard of a Philly soft pretzel. Tasted like it was previously frozen because it was so heavy. Maybe I’m just used to a lighter and tastier pretzel. There was not any heating lamps to keep them warm. The mustard just didn’t taste right to me, either.

This place makes great pretzels! Just make sure you get them when they are fresh! It’s not that pricey and the people who work there are always nice and friendly!
Also they have really good water ice!

The pretzels here are awesome. But yes, you have to get them when they’re fresh. I always ask what’s the freshest as they have a large selection of types of pretzels (minis, nuggets, sticks, etc). Sometimes they are a bit understaffed and you may have to wait for the cashier for a few minutes (she’s usually just getting more fresh pretzels from the back). But they’re worth the wait. They also have a few cheeses and mustards to dip. Plus my favorite… Nutella!

If you’re not from Chestnut Hill they’re a but pricey for most items but if you get your wares fresh it is totally worth every cent!
They have a really great jalapeño cheese dip … They also have little cups of Nutella!
The pretzel pizzas and pretzel hot sausages are the best (if you get them early in the day).
I have a Philly Pretzel Factory by my house but i wait until I work in Chestnut Hill to get my pretzels here ;)

I was at Greene Street across the street and decided to grab a small 10 piece order of the everything nuggets for breakfast. They were hot, fresh and delicious. Plus, it was only $ 1.50! Make sure you get them fresh, though, since that’s when they are at the peak, taste-​wise; they can get a bit hard if you wait too long.

The pretzel braid I bought one afternoon wasn’t anything too special. The staff also made some weird comments about the people waiting, but, it’s whatever. I’ll have to try their other stuff sometime.

Get um while they are hot. Just right for the brown bag secret eaters set. You can never get enough Philly soft pretzels. The city of Bro Love’s contribution to American doughboy culture.

I love soft pretzels and grew up indulging in Auntie Anne’s cinnamon sugar pretzels pretty regularly. When I moved to Chestnut Hill I immediately made note of the T of PSP shop and when I went for the first time I ordered one of their cinnamon sugar gourmet pretzels and it rocked. It had the girth and actual pretzel flavor that greasy Auntie Anne’s just don’t. I haven’t had T of PSP’s regular pretzels but I can say that they have multiple sizes and even pretzels shaped like the Phillies ‘P’. They have cheese dips and mustards but no sweet dips and they also serve water ice and stick a pretzel in the cup!
Service is always good and the prices are right, too!

Not a huge pretzel guy, but I really like this place. Pretzel-​wrapped hot dogs and sausages are my favorite. Those and the regular Philly pretzels go so good with their mustards that they have in bottles for the costumers to use. Yellow mustard, honey mustard, spicy brown mustard and the very hot jalapeño mustard. Very cool. Also love the little pretzel pepperoni pizzas. Staff is pretty friendly and if you come in their late in the day they may give you a few extra pretzels to take home. Love that I have a pretzel shop just a few blocks away!

Somewhat expensive. A small water ice is $ 1.75 and a large is $ 2.75. The flavors are good, but I always feel like I’m paying too much for what I’m getting. I come here every once in a while to treat my siblings, but because there are other cheaper places, I make it here about 2 a year. The pretzels are either fresh out of the oven or laying out in the open for flies to land on. When the latter happens I stick to the water ice. They really need to figure out a better way to store pretzels, especially during the summer months. I’m one of those people who don’t find fly droppings appealing on their food. When the pretzels are fresh its a good deal. 20 nuggets for $ 2.75 is always a good deal to me. Come with cash since its a $ 10 minimum for cards.

I tried one of the mini pretzels during the Chestnut Hill Festival in October. They were really impressive! Nice and chewey on the outside, soft on the inside and not too much salt for me. The best part about the minis are that if your favorite part of a pretzel in the middle, that’s all these little babies are! I will go out of my way to get these for sure.

It’s another link in the Taste of Philly chain — and it’s a solid one.
I had a fresh, hot, pretzel dog from the stand in front og the store at the Chestnut Hill festival. It was so tasty (and oven fresh) that I went inside to check out the store itself.
So why was my p-​dog $ 2.50 out front but they are only $ 2.00 in store?
Seemed kinda unfair.
Meanwhile, if you live in Chestnut Hill and need pretzels or pretzel-​dogs for your superbowl party or some other event — definitely come here. When they are fresh — they are pretty terrific!
