Auntie Anne’s

I always have to stop by to get a pretzel whenever I’m at the mall! Their pretzels are the best and they always have good deals. I come here all the time and they never smile or greet me unless I’m buying something. There is only one person who seems to enjoy working there. I can’t remember her name, but she has glasses and she always smiles and makes me feel welcomed, and she has a great sense of humor! I always hope to see her whenever I stop by

One of the best quick snacks places that they have in the mall.
not overly priced you can even find a Groupon every now and then you usually only have to wait about five minutes to actually get a fresh pretzels if you want.

I had a craving for a hot dog while shopping at Lloyd Center, and figured that a pretzel dog at Auntie Anne’s would hit the spot. While at the counter, I noticed their menu indicated they use Nathan’s Famous brand of hotdogs (not just some generic stuff). I was impressed by that. The price is $ 3.49 each for a pretzel dog, but they had a special price of two for $ 5.00. Couldn’t resist that. I got two perfectly good hotdogs baked inside tasty pretzels.

I feel silly writing a review for a mall pretzel stand buuuut… Seriously. I’m Writing it because they messed up what should have been the most regular mall snack ever. I really am not expecting gourmet! I swear. Im always hungry since I’m pregnant and wanted a salty fresh pretzel with a sweet but tart lemonade after shopping for two hours. I did not get :(
The Pretzel my husband and I got was old and dry. I saw them making fresh ones later but they pawned off the old one to us anyway. They gave us a mustard dipping sauce that expired that day and it was somewhat curdled and smelled wrong. Ew. We exchanged it for the chemical cheese which is not part of my one star review because we all know what we’re getting with chemical cheese. It was fine. The strawberry «lemonade» was just straight up sugar water. I had like 4 sips and asked them to top it off with regular lemonade to cut the sweet strawberry and they refused saying I’d have to pay $ 1 for a «refill.» Dumb.
It was dumb, and I’m dumb for even caring. But I do have really nice memories of when auntie Ann’s was new back in the 90s and they had the best pretzels ever and it was the one guilty pleasure I enjoyed at the mall. Aw guess I’m nostalgic.
Whoever was running it yesterday at Lloyd center (1÷10÷15) just seemed to not be living up to even American mall standards… Which aren’t exactly very high standards!!!

Can’t go to the mall without stopping by Auntie Anne’s for one of their pretzels– they make the best! They now have these daily specials for $ 1. Today’s special was Sour Cream & Onion, which happens to be one of my faves, so I bought 4! Customer service at this location could use some slight improvements (smile, it doesn’t hurt), otherwise, it’s a great place!

Not much to say about this mall chain, except that it always has consistently good pretzels. If you work at the mall they will give you a super huge soft drink for only $ 1 (best deal in the mall), and every Wednesday they feature a different pretzel for $ 1 (not just for mall employees)! A great option for a quick and delicious snack. The people there a very friendly, too!
