About and visit notes

For us Kentuckians who enjoy a day of shopping or just need a delicious, satisfying snack, there is one scent that is instantly recognizable and entirely irresistible: the warm, buttery aroma of a freshly baked soft pretzel from Auntie Anne's. Located right in the heart of Louisville’s retail scene inside the bustling Mall St. Matthews, this bakery kiosk is a must-visit destination for those craving that signature golden-brown perfection. Auntie Anne's is a unique type of bakery, specializing not in cakes or loaves, but in the simple, yet profound, art of the hand-rolled soft pretzel.

Every pretzel here is a testament to fresh, immediate quality. The process involves hand-rolling the dough and baking it right in front of you, ensuring that what you receive is perfectly hot, soft, and ready to be devoured. While the classic Original Pretzel with its buttery, salty finish remains a favorite, the menu has expanded significantly to offer a range of savory and sweet options that go well beyond a typical mall snack. From the sweet indulgence of Cinnamon Sugar to the hearty, savory kick of a Pepperoni Pretzel Dog, there is a flavor for every craving, complemented perfectly by their famous Original Lemonade.

The experience at the Mall St. Matthews location is designed for convenience, recognizing that visitors are often on the move or pausing briefly during a shopping trip. They offer various service options, including delivery and curbside pickup, making it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite pretzel, even if you can't stop inside the mall. While customer experiences can sometimes vary, as evidenced by local feedback, the bakery’s commitment to freshly baked goods and extensive menu remains its reliable draw for the Louisville community. Ultimately, a trip to Auntie Anne's is about indulging in a warm, comforting treat that has become a staple of the Kentucky shopping experience.

    Shout out Hailey! Her personality and care with both my order and the whole transaction really stand out. She’s always been sweet and genuine, it makes such a difference when you’re in the mall. Honestly, seeing her there gives me something to look forward to whenever I stop by. She makes the experience feel personal and welcoming, and that kind of character is rare. Thank you, Hailey, for making a regular mall trip feel special!

    If I could give this guy no stars I would. He was playing chess the whole time we ordered, didn’t look up once. he got the orders wrong, of course because he didn’t even listen to us. He then had nothing available and was being mean to the guy in the back working on pretzels. he never put his phone down once. We also ordered one of the stack cups with the drink and pretzels and sauce and he charged us for everything but only gave us original pretzels and a drink. He doesnt deserve to stand in an establishment like auntie anne’s. pls do better.

    Stopped back in today 7/8 and they were working hard. Very friendly and you could tell there was a change in management per se. Caineth J on the receipt $5.50 at 6:13. I was impressed. Great to see people working hard and caring about the customers but also friendly and willing to help and go the extra mile!!! Applause 👏 to them. Keep it up! 👍 To their benefit oven was broken. The lady working was very nice unable to make pretzels due to broken oven. I did see pretzels that were already rolled in risen but unfortunately all they could make was drinks. If only they had this helpful staff at the Oxmoor location today.

    This is hands down the worst Auntie Annie's I have ever been to. When I got up to the front there were two male workers behind the counter. They both looked at me and then looked at their business iPad and the medium height heavy-set white male with dark facial hair said "Give me a second." Then both employees proceeded to use their phones to play what appeared to be a mobile game. They made me wait on them to play their games and then the white male asked me what I wanted. I asked him if they had any pepperoni ready and he proceeded to pull a cup of pepperoni pretzel nuggets out of the display case and slam them on top of the glass and rang up the nuggets. Needless to say I was so shocked by his atrocious behavior that I never got the chance to tell him that I wanted a regular pretzel with pepperoni not the nuggets. I went ahead and paid with my card because a line was starting to form behind me. The white male then started taking the next customer's order in the middle of the transaction with me. At this point my card is still in the card reader and he proceeded to shout "Ma'am, you're all set!" not once, not twice but THREE times at me from across the other side of the display case. I was putting my card away as he was screaming at me. I waited patiently for him to play his mobile game but he didn't afford me the same grace and wanted to rush my card transaction. It was completely unacceptable and I still can't believe how rude and abrupt his behavior was. I rolled my eyes and walked away with pretzel nuggets that I didn't even want. The nuggets were somehow greasy on the outside and dry on the inside. Horrible!
