Auntie Anne’s Hand Rolled Soft Pretzels

So it seems that Auntie Anne’s in the South Shore Plaza has expanded into the world of frozen treats. I guess it isn’t a unique expansion as the one at South Station is in cahoots with Carvel.
This one has its own seemingly separately labeled neighbor «Classic Frozen Custard» yet the receipt spilled the secret as «Auntie Anne’s» was printed right on top.
They offer their soft serve in 3 sizes — petite/​regular/​large priced at $ 3.50/$ 3.75/$ 3.95 — and 6 flavors. We ordered the vanilla/​orange swirl and were handed petite cones for $ 3.50. They were soft for ease of licking, yet not dripping! The orange was a sherbet as per the labeling. The vanilla was dairy creamy flavored. Together they were a nice treat!

I had the pretzel sticks with no salt. Too buttery for my taste. Actually saturated in butter. Like you could ring this out and still taste tons of butter. If you are looking for a healthier option for food you will not find it here.

Auntie Anne’s is located now on the first floor near Newbury comics and Baby Gap. I was there this past Tuesday. I just wanted to get a regular pretzel and a small diet coke. The pretzel was $ 4.25. I thought it was a bit high for just a pretzel. So I got a combination of pretzel bites and a soda instead for a cheaper price. I actually asked the salesperson if it would be cheaper. But, he spoke such broken English unfortunately I could not understand one thing he said. So, I had to just guess what I was going to get. If you are going to put someone on the register I really think it should be someone that can speak clearly with English. So everyone can understand him… I had absolutely NO CLUE what he was saying. I’d like to know what I’m buying. The pretzel bites were actually really buttery and delicious and I got some honey mustard dipping sauce, too. Yummy!

Auntie Anne’s is like crack. I’ve been hooked on it since the one fateful free pretzel day two years ago, and every time I walk anywhere in the proximity of Auntie Anne’s, I have to get a pretzel. Cinnamon sugar and Almond are my favorites, and I hear good things about the pretzel dog.
This one is my favorite one out of all the mall Auntie Anne’s I’ve been to, simply because they’re the most efficient and their pretzels taste better. There’s actually two locations, one on a push cart and one near Brighams /​Sears, so it’s pretty convenient. A great place to grab a quick bite if you don’t want to walk all the way to the other end of the mall to the food court.

Unless I completely imagined it for years, Auntie Anne and her delish pretzels were located on the upper level near the Aveda store and Eddie Bauer. When I went hunting for a pretzel tonight, they were nowhere to be found. I finally sniffed them out (with my gifted, hound-​like sense of smell), but lo and behold, they’ve been reduced to a pushcart on the lower level near the escalator. What is HAPPENING to this mall??? Even my fave pretzel place is calling it quits!!! Sad day for Amy!
(Oh, still yummy, overly buttered pretzels. They call out to me.)
