![]() During the summer, you can find Schweizer and his wife Jennifer at the Millarville Farmers Market every Saturday. Schweizer’s pretzels are dense, chewy and salted just right. Originally from a small town outside of Zurich, he now makes his artisan pretzels in small batches for establishments outside of the city including Chestermere’s Township 24 Brewery, Black Diamond’s Hard Knox Brewery, Piston Broke Brewing in Brooks and the new Fahr Brewery in Turner Valley. Thomas Schweizer is a man with a passion for pretzels. IT expert by day and baker by night, he created his small pretzel business in 2017 because he missed the taste of home. Auntie Anne’s offers an original plain pretzel but other flavours include cinnamon sugar, sweet almond, sour cream and onion, roasted garlic and parmesan, pepperoni, jalepeno and raisin.ĬrossIron Mills, 261055 CrossIron Blvd, Rocky View, Alberta (825) 222-9228, There’s pretty much always a line of shoppers waiting to get their hands on one at CrossIron Mills. While there has been a boom of pretzel joints opening in Calgary malls recently, this American chain is worth noting simply because their flaky, buttery pretzels are so addictively good. Pretzel purists can opt for the plain with your classic dijon mustard dip while the rest of us have flavours like three cheese or onion and cinnamon, maple or lemon for sweet options. Low bakes his pretzels fresh daily and they all come with your choice of dipping sauces and mustards, which he also makes in-house and from scratch. Sweet, savoury, pretzel bites, sandwiches on pretzel buns - you name it, he does it. If a casual, pretzel-centric restaurant sounds like your idea of heaven on earth, make the trip to Calgary’s deep south for Cordon Bleu-trained chef Rob Low’s pretzels. Times are changing though and as pretzels become more than a passing trend, there are handful of local spots to indulge in this taste of Bavaria all-year long. From street food to bakery and brewery staple, pretzels are commonplace in Europe and America but haven’t been all that easy to find in Calgary (beyond the mall food court) until recently. Soft and warm bread shaped into chewy, salt-sprinkled twists and baked to a crusty brown sheen - there’s no snack more satisfying than your classic soft pretzel.
