"They sell pretzels with many stuffing options, butter, cheese, veggie, meat,etc. pretzels taste very good especially the butter ones. Service is fast. Staff are friendly and speak English. Only problem is they don’t accept cards payment!! Area is interesting to explore in downtown Nurenburg. Many seating options around."

"I tried the pretzel with butter (1.90€) on a coldish Friday afternoon. It was very tough to chew so I was quite disappointed. Maybe they're better if they were warmer."
