All the pretzels here at Squabisch are freshly baked and moist, and perfect to take home and enjoy with a cold beer.  You can't go wrong with the classic German pretzel, which is sprinkled with a bit of salt; a vegan version is available, too, but don’t overlook the many that feature a California twist.  My favorite is the simple pretzel brat (pretzel dough encases a tasty brat hot dog-like) and the spicy cheddar-jalapeno.  I’ve heard the prosciutto-Asiago is also delicious, and I would like to try one of the sweet versions, perhaps the pear and chevre.  Pretzels cost $4 to $8 each.  I found that three stuffed two hungry people.  Any line moves fast.  Be sure to check the weekly menu posted on the website so you can plan ahead.  Pretzel-making classes are sometimes scheduled.  Should you want to sit for a bit and eat your purchase, two benches wait outside on either side of the door and a parklet is across the sidewalk.
