Cream City Pretzels
Our Classic Pretzel is where everything starts.
Handmade in small batches in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this pretzel is crafted using time-honored baking techniques—slow-mixed dough, hand-shaped forms, and oven-baked to achieve a deep golden crust with a soft, chewy interior.
There’s no added seasoning or flavoring here by design. Just a perfectly balanced pretzel that highlights the quality of the dough, the bake, and the craft behind it. It’s versatile enough to stand on its own, serve as the base for burgers and brats, or pair with dips, spreads, and seasonal toppings.
Freshly baked and shipped nationwide, our Classic Pretzel delivers authentic bakery quality straight to your door—while also being served in restaurants and retailers across the greater Milwaukee area and surrounding cities.
Simple. Honest. Timeless.
This is the pretzel done right.
About the Founder
I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, surrounded by flour-dusted countertops and the smell of fresh bread. Baking wasn’t a hobby in my family — it was a way of life. From a young age, I worked in our family bakery, learning the craft hands-on and developing a deep respect for time-honored techniques and quality ingredients.
I later attended the University of Minnesota, where I continued to refine my interests and perspective, but ultimately found that my true education had always been happening where it mattered most: in the bakery. Years of daily, hands-on experience taught me what can’t be learned from textbooks — patience, precision, and consistency. Over time, I mastered the art of baking through repetition, discipline, and a genuine love for the process.
While working in the bakery, I began to notice a gap in the market. High-quality pretzel products like ours were widely available to restaurants and retailers, but rarely accessible directly to the people who actually wanted them at home. I believed customers deserved the same fresh, handcrafted pretzels that professionals relied on — without needing to be a restaurant buyer to get them.
That realization led to the creation of Cream City Pretzels: a way to bring Milwaukee-made, bakery-quality pretzels straight to your door. Every product we ship reflects the craft, care, and tradition I grew up with — baked fresh, made by hand, and meant to be shared.
This isn’t just pretzels. It’s a lifetime of baking, finally made available to everyone.
