Pretzels near Foothill Ranch, CA

“When my son sees a Wetzel's Pretzels he can't pass by it without asking me to get some. And of course I end up eating one or two pieces. It's our favorite out of all pretzel places. Always fresh and delicious. This location is clean and has friendly staff. We have been here a few times and always had a pleasant experience. Lots of outdoor sitting by the water fountain.“

“I came last weekend with my boyfriend and we got the sweet potato cheese pretzel and an iced Einspänner coffee. The potato pretzel was unexpectedly great, and Coffee Tomo is one of the few places I've been able to find Einspänner in OC. Will be returning for these two items very soon.“

“HANDS DOWN the best auntie anne's location in OC. I'm kind of addicted to their pretzels, and have tried their locations in Newport, the outlets at Orange, Desert Hills, and even the one up in Arcadia. I'm telling you that this location makes their pretzels the BEST.I usually get the regular pretzel nuggets or a pepperoni pretzel, and wow. They are just so good. Especially for the nuggets, they are so perfectly baked to a darker golden brown and they put the perfect amount of salt and butter so you can actually taste the two. Other locations don't bake their pretzels for long enough to my liking so they're all a super light tan color, but here they bake them super well. Crispy on the outside and suuuuuper fluffy on the inside. It's a bit of a drive for me but it's always worth going to.“

“Who doesn't like Wetzel's Pretzels? They are delicious! I would go out of my way to come here.Sometimes you're walking around the mall and you just need a snack break and pretzels are just perfect. Did you know they have dessert here too? I usually get their Original Pretzel with Butter and Salt, sometimes with Jalapeño Cheddar Cheese Dip. Sometimes I get their Wetzel Dog instead, both are amazing. But when I want dessert, I'll go for their Cin-a-Bitz, oh man, this is amazing. Their Frozen Lemonades are also good. I think I also need to try their Sinful Cinnamon Pretzel sometime too, probably similar but with different feel. Ok but really who am I kidding, call it a snack but eating a whole pretzel by myself is basically a meal for me so I usually share it. Honestly, I don't know which one tastes better, Wetzel's Pretzels or Auntie Anne's. I think I would have to do a side by side comparison to really know, both are just that good. I usually just get whatever I see first. I think in the past, over a decade ago, Auntie Anne's was better by far, but now, I don't know if both stores recipes have changed/improved because they both taste good to me.This one is located on the first floor near J.Jill and Dick's Sporting Goods at The Shops at Mission Viejo. There are many free parking lots and structures for the mall. The closest place to enter and park to get here would be next to Cheesecake Factory. There are two Wetzel's locations at this mall, the second one is on the second floor. Price has definitely gone up over the years but I still think it's fair accounting for inflation and similar in price to Auntie Anne's. Service is friendly and quick. There wasn't much of a wait to order on a Sunday around 2 PM, maybe one to two parties ahead of me. Food comes out piping hot which I love. The concept is cute, it's like a cute small food vendor looking stand.“
