Sigmund Pretzel Cart

had the lamb sausage with sauerkraut, peppers and mustard on it. totally sensational, the only downside I found to it was the price ($ 9). seemed a little expensive for the product, but the pretzels ARE homemade. overall delicious, and they have a booth at the union square holiday market this year so if you’re down there, be sure to check them out!

Great soft pretzel served warm with a bunch of tasty flavor combos like Cheddar Truffle and Churro! Check out the Madison Sq Eats stand for May 2015

Five stars for customer service and the pretzels are great too.
John the Pretzel Guy super helpful and informative.
Sweet or Savory you will find a pretzel to suit your fancy.

I’m not a super big pretzel eater. I only like sweet ones. I got the cinnamon one. It’s really good and was soft. I would like to go to actual store. I don’t know if I went by the cart again if I would be impelled to buy another.

We bought two Truffle Cheddar pretzels today from the cart at Grub Street. We’ve had the pretzels in the past and really liked them. Today, however, we each took a bite and spit it out. The pretzels were disgusting! They were stale, hard and tasted as if they’d been sitting too long. In fact, the way the pretzels looked (the cheese looked dried up) and tasted as if there were at least two or three days old. There are few things worse than soft pretzels that have been sitting around longer than a day.
We took them back to the cart, and explained politely, that the pretzels were not fresh and were inedible. Instead of apologizing and offering us new pretzels or our money back, she said, «Well, I had one a little while ago, and it was fine. There’s nothing wrong.» If the woman had been polite, we would let this slide – it could have just been an off-​day. However, such terrible customer service says the company doesn’t give a damn about their customers! A pretzel from one of the grubby old carts is a million times better than Sigmund’s! And service is that many times better, as well.

Just got the gruyère paprika one. It was cold in the middle and very stale. I asked them to reheat and they just refused. It was an awful pretzel. Four dollars in the toilet, thanks guys!

I’ve never seen such poor customer service in my life. My boyfriend was excited to try a pretzel from such a well reviewed place, he chose the gruyère paprika which sounded great in theory. After trying it we realized that the pretzel had been frozen since it tasted like a stale freezer box and was still cold in the center.
We wanted to salvage what was left so we asked them to heat it up. The response (in front of a crowd of potential customers) was «isn’t it still soft?» Followed by a sorry as cold as the pretzels they’re serving up.
Avoid this overpriced bad experience and save your $ 4 for something worth eating.

I got a pretzel from the cart a while back and didn’t like it at all. It wasn’t fresh, wasn’t at all delicious and pretty pricey. Got surprised with a treat from them from my guy– a Wanka cookie… pretzel, pb and choco chip and it was pretty delicious! Not too sweet and like the salty combo. I love soft pretzels so I guess I will have to give them another chance and make sure to ask for a fresh one!

Am not a fan of hot dogs, but this ones were really good and cheap. They tasted really good. A light snack before lunch/​dinner.

Elisabeth C. brought me home some to enjoy. The cheese truffle pretzel was something special-​my favorite. Not your average pretzel but more like a perfect love child between a pretzel, croissant and biscuit! So surprisingly flakey and buttery yet still upheld strong pretzel characteristics, shape and texture for a pretzel traditionalist. The cheese was sharp and the truffle nicely accented without being overpowering. Garlic and parsley was good but not my favorite. Must get more!

I got two of these pretzels at the Union Square Holiday Market to bring home for my husband. I got the parsley and garlic and the cheddar truffle varieties. We heated them up in the toaster before eating them and they were both terriific although the chees pretzel was better. This is not your ordinary pretzel. So yummy. I can’t wait to try some other varieties.

First rate pretzels. Variety and they don’t just hand you a cold pretzel. The hot dogs in pretzel buns are good, but not great. Both items are far, far better than what can be found at the other carts at the Met.

These pretzels are addicting – watch out! There are both sweet and savory choices, which I love. I bought some to bring home for a treat and they didn’t make it! The woman who serves up the delectable treats is also lovely!

IMO, the best hot dog in the area. Double the price of the dirty water dogs* in front of the Met, but the dog, the pretzel bun, the grainy mustard, & kraut are the best, & worth the cost. I always try to come here if I’m in the Central Park area. If the woman in the cart is a little salty, blame the pretzels (ha!) She’s cool, just don’t piss her off!
Oh, and speaking of the pretzels, they are WAY better than the crap they’re handing out @ carts these days. Sigmund all the way.
*(they may actually grill (read: fry) the dogs).

As I found out, pretzel are quite popular in the US. Unfortunately, eating a good pretzel «on the go» it’s a difficult quest: some are cold, some are too salty, some give you the feeling of eating a giant, pretzel-​shaped rubber. Definitely not cool.
A good exception is the Sigmund Pretzel Cart, just in front to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Managed by a nice and cheerful woman, the place offers quite a good range of different pretzel. For three dollars I got a warm, simple although tasty pretzel which was the best I have ever eaten so far in the US.
