Auntie Anne's at the Tacoma Mall is worth choosing for its dependable, fresh-baked quality and the unparalleled taste of its signature soft pretzels.

If ordering during peak hours, patience may be necessary, but the reward is a truly unique and delicious bakery item. The variety of sweet, savory, and full-meal options ensures there is a perfect pretzel product for every craving, from a quick bite to a shared family treat.

Told me that the pretzels would be ready in less than 8 minutes and took 25 minutes standing waiting.. for burnt pretzels, took a few out to realize they were all burnt. Had to pull them apart because I do NOT like the taste of burnt bread/dough. Not professional and unsatisfied not worth the wait.

DO NOT GO HERE. I went 7/20/2024 around 4:30pm, and ordered mini hotdog pretzels and pizza nuggets. My toddler loves the mini hotdogs, but was crying when we gave it to her, I thought maybe she was tired. I tried it 30 minutes later when we got home and it tastes like straight chemicals!!!! It tastes like it was COOKED IN ACETONE. Whatever nail polish remover smells like, it tastes like that!! My niece said there were only 3 nuggets with pepperoni pieces. The cashier was nice and efficient but saw she didn’t put the receipt in the bag. DISGUSTING LOCATION.

Never been here before but Joanna was amazing. She handled an extremely long line so quickly but kindly. She looked like she really knew how to run the place easily. It was clean and she made sure to offer me sauce so i didnt forget. Alycia was preparing food so that no one had to wait and worked well with her counterpart. Overall just had to let a manager know these woman are top notch!
