I love this stuff and decided to compile a list of what you can find in Toronto. My source was this chowhound forum. But I’m organizing the list for myself, so use it at free will. ;-)
Chainlike over-sweetened Pretzels (North American style). This ones I’ve tried so that comment is mine.
Rabbit says:
“It’s not a street vendor pretzel, but it’s German and fat and squishy and fantastic – Amadeus restaurant at Richmond and University has wonderful pretzels.”
jonnybee says:
“Though not as soft as the pretzels you get in the mall, the large pretzels from the Dimpflmeier Bakery in Etobicoke seemed to me more like like the ones found in NYC. I did not have them warm, but they were dense and kind of chewy and great with some mustard.”
You’ve probably seen this guys breads. They’re sold all over the place in certain supertmarkets. Apparently they sell Pretzels on their store.
Mila says:
“Stonemill Bakehouse, downstairs at St Lawrence Market, has the real German pretzels on Saturday mornings”.
Full Tummy says:
“My mom and I, both German and very fond of excellent salt pretzels, are addicted to the ones sold at The Bagel House. They’re somewhat bagelly, but they are a heck of a lot better than most. Fresh each day, crisp and chewy, with plenty o’ salt.”
There’s 1 Aunty Ann in Toronto GTA right now. This guys have a kit so you can cook them at home too.
Sobey’s:
cherrytreegirl says:
“The Sobey’s Express on Yonge south of Wellesley carries them in the bakery section. They are pretty good but you would have to prepare it yourself- heating it, adding butter, mustard etc.”
