All products are made on-site at Auntie Anne’s stores throughout the day. We make up a dough from the raw ingredients (flour mix, yeast, water) and let it prove. Once the right size, we hand-roll into our variety of products and bake in our ovens. Depending on the flavour, some products get flavoured before baking whilst some get flavoured after baking. Once baked all pretzels get a brush of butter to finish (except vegan pretzels of course!)
For nutritional information, please see the detailed nutrition information on each product on our menu.
The fastest pretzel roller in the Auntie Anne’s family can roll and twist a pretzel in 3.5 seconds.

Oven: Preheat oven to 200°C. Wrap pretzel in foil and bake for approximately 3 minutes.
Microwave pretzel for approximately 10-15 seconds on medium setting. Repeat as necessary.
Yes, many of our products are vegetarian as standard. We can also adapt some of these to become fully vegan by using a vegetable spray instead of butter. Please ask at the store.
