Bernie’s Pretzel Bakery

Same recipe for decades. Same great service for decades. They were formerly located in the old Bazaar of All Nations, now gone over 20 years. In this location they continue to serve those in their golden years who remember the best pretzel of the Philadelphia areA as well as new clients. Literally generations have loved Bernie’s’
Perfectly Soft n chewy and salted just right
No one else comes close. Simply the best!

Solid tasting pretzels from a non-​franchise. What’s more to like? Oh, and they also sell water ice. Located in a shopping center with easy parking. Fresh/​hot pretzels even late in the afternoon. 10 cents for a pretzel cheaper than the big guys. However, I think they might be a bit smaller, so it evens out.

Just had my first Bernie’s Pretzel… wowza. Soft and chewy, lightly salted. Bernie knows how to make a soft pretzel! Great prices, Great pretzels and locally owned. Can’t go wrong with a pretzel from Bernie!

i’ve been eating these pretzels since I was a kid, living on Sycamore and walking to the bazaar. they’re still just as good. honestly the best pretzels that you can buy anywhere in the world.

25 pretzels for $ 10. Warm from the oven. Yum! It is as good as it gets!!!

If you remember the bazaar shopping mall then you remember bernies. Great pretzels and now they even have garlic, hot dogs and pizza pretzels. Also sell ice cream and water ice. Their pretzels are still the best to me. They’re real Philly pretzels. Soft and taste great.

Bernie’s BEST SOFT PRETZEL EVER. And they have water ice. Get your Philly favorites all in one spot. YUM! I also love the Philly themed tshirts they sell. And the hot sausage and PIZZA PRETZELS!

This place is the best pretzel in Philly hands down. Melt in your mouth goodness. The old Bazzaar pretzel lives in the Penn Pines shopping center.

This is simple.
If you ever want to know why those of us who live near here think Bernie’s is the best pretzel anywhere, there’s a simple way to find out.
Just walk in to this shop on any given morning, and smell it.
I swear, the heavenly smell alone will make you want to buy 50 of them, even if you don’t have anyone to share them with.
And bottom line is 50 pretzels here are cheaper than the other chain places. You get the best for less.
I’m thankful Bernie’s has lasted this long, and I hope they never go away. You really can taste a difference between Bernie’s pretzels and any others.

So good had to give them 5 stars

This is what a soft pretzel should taste like! They’re soft, chewy, lightly salted, and fresh. A lot of other places sell these squished looking pretzels that are slippery on the outside and get hard pretty quick (think Wawa). Bernie’s is basically the exactly opposite. What’s more is you can get them right out of the warm, which is delicious.
Growing up, I’ve seen an invasion of pretzel chains, with a lot of organizations switching from Bernie’s to the chains because they are cheaper. I was worried they’d put Bernie’s out of business. Luckily, they are still kicking it.
Next time you have a party, sporting event, meeting, etc get your pretzels from Bernie’s. It’s a great way to support a local business with a high quality products. I think it’s worth paying an extra couple of pennies per pretzel to do that.

The rating speaks for its self.

The best pretzels I’ve had in the city, and they open so early it’s often worth it to get some after a rough night out on the town. The cinnamon ones are so addictive they might be spiked with heroin. And there’s nothing better than a fresh Philadelphia pretzel right out of the oven.
The trick is not to leave them out under a heat lamp, and to keep turning and burning product throughout the day. And this place is busy enough that nothing sits out for too long. I’ve asked for well done here and gotten it as well. And trust me on the well done, especially fresh out of the oven it’s amazing.
I live in Tampa, and we can get a Delco’s cheese steak down here now, but still no way to get the glory that is a Philly soft pretzel. If only they could ship them warm!

Yea these are the real deal… soft, warm… feel the love. Open like 4am (seriously) and they’re always Makin’ Pretzels! You could carefully select a balanced meal from the the USDA food pyramid… or you could just get 3 pretzels and a soda from Bernie’s and you’re good to go.

Hands down the best soft pretzels in Delco and possibly the world, if it weren’t for the equally delicious Center City Pretzel Co. As noted by Bruiser, they are formerly from the Bazaar and some call them the Bazaar pretzels. If possible try to get a hot one. If you only get one, it’s 65 cents, but you can also feed all your friends by getting a box of 25 for $ 10.

Bernies Pretzels is formerly of the Bazaar on Baltimore Pike and we love their pretzels. The shop is not large, only big enough to hold 4 – 5 people, but they have their own pretzels, and pretzel wrapped hot dogs, as well as a selection of Rosati Water Ice. They’ll add flavors like garlic or cinnamon to you pretzels on request (for a little extra). The store opens around 4:30 AM so if you’re an early riser, you know where to get pretzels hot out of the oven. We’ve tried the new pretzel chains like Pretzel Boys and Philly Pretzel, but Bernie’s beats them, hands down.
