Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery - Lititz

The soft pretzel, which is their signature dish, was no better than what you would find at a grocery store. They claimed that the soft sourdough pretzel has never been on their menu, despite it being advertised on their website. This was one of the few disappointments during our delightful visit to Lititz.

I learned how to make a pretzel and discovered its history. Although you can't eat the pretzel you make during the class, there are fresh ones available for purchase.

I really enjoyed the tour! The guide shared some interesting insights about how pretzels were made during his era.

Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery is great! They offer tours of the pretzel bakery that are very educational! The tour guide will teach you how to twist a soft pretzel and will tell you about the history of pretzel making as well as show you how the bakery used to operate and what they used to make their pretzels! They also make very good soft pretzels! I would recommend!

Absolutely a must do!!! the first commercial pretzel bakery in America. Schedule a tour online and then pay for the tour when you arrive. can’t believe how cheap the tickets are, 3 and under are free, ages 4-12 are $4.50, ages 13 are $5.50, and military and seniors are $5.00. they teach you how to twist a pretzel, get to see the equipment and the ovens, and they give you a small bag of pretzels for free when the tour is finished. when you exit the tour there is a gift shop, they have fresh soft pretzels to buy (they make them there), they were so good so I would highly suggest buying!! can’t believe how cheap everything is in PA LOL this would be like $25 in NJ
