Popa's Pretzels

Always wanted to give it a go as it's normally packed in front of the shop - and it lived up to it. Among the very few pretzels I've ever tried, this is the best for a reasonable price. Crunchy outside and soft inside. As a huge bread fan, I especially adored the smell and taste of the pretzel itself. That being said, the minced beef stuffing is still good. Def will pay another visit.

Clearly those that have rated this place badly have no idea how a real pretzel needs to taste, feel and smell and how difficult it is to make them perfect. Pops Pretzels nailed it. The dough was perfect, crunchy on the outside while soft and tasty on the inside. Loved the pretzel sticks too, the meat was good and works well with dough and cheese, very yummy. I like the business ideas you have incooproated with sausage, fill eyc. My original pretzel was perfect thank you. I will be back for more

Really cheap and filling meal. They have interesting filled pretzels. They also have something called a manakish, which is almost like a calzone folded pizza. They didn't have the lamb one when I was there so tried the traditional one and it was interesting. Crispy and cheesy. It had olives but it didn't make the whole thing to salty. Really friendly service and knew which order went to whom.

Adorable service, and such filling pretzels at such a good price! I know they look exactly the same, but I managed to munch down a savoury one the feta cheese and veg? something like that and a sweet one chocolate I’m pretty sure!. But the fillings were an absolute damn delight, with the pretzels themselves being fluffy and crispy and just proper crack. Ten outta ten recommend, thank God for such a conveniently located stall so close to uni tbh

Got a cinnamon dust pretzel. Loved that the pretzels are freshly made to order. Would have preferred more cinnamon dust powder as well as the pretzel to be dough-y but overall for $3.50, it’s great value.

I'm sad to have to rate this a 2.. in my disappointment I would have give them a 1 but Im pretty sure I have had a nice pretzel before so I'll go for a 2. I ordered a pizza pretzel. It says just like a pepperoni pizza and I love pepperoni pizza so I was super excited. Never in my life have I encountered a pepperoni pizza that was 90% olives with 3 small bits of pepperoni. I loathe olives and it didn't mention them on the menu board at all. It was meant to be my dinner which I had to scoop the insides out of and eat an empty shell. I would eat here again but question before I order.

Good service but too expensive for the food,heard from my friend in china, this food only sold 2dollar in china but here sold 10dollar to me.

Since I tried their manakish almost 10 days ago I have tried almost everything their menu offers. If I try my best and find a mistake then it is possibly in the fact they do not offer spicier versions for people like me who love a bit of chili. The pretzels are soft, warm. fresh and crunchy at the same time. Can't decide whats better the pretzels or the attitude of the staff. In love with the place.

Defs the best manaesh in NZ! Always get the spinach and cheese one with jalapenos and they never fail my expectations. Fast, affordable and very very yummy. I could eat there everyday. They do not respond to call orders as much as they should and they close too early!

My all time favorite food shop in queen street. I could eat from Pretzel’a literally everyday and never get tired - but obviously I don’t. Sometimes my friend goes to get a pretzel for here self and something else for me. It’s nice that they make it all fresh right in front of your eyes, and it tastes really delicious. You could grab one on the go for lunch or even dinner. The only downside about them is that they close too early in the evening!
