This place has been around since I was a child [my children say that was the jurassic era]. Great pretzels, a welcoming staff. A business in the family for generations.
My mom has sent me these pretzels since I’ve moved here to Hawai’i. The last shipments have been broken terribly and are dark. Which I know she requested not be. Unfortunately, I’ve told my mom to no longer purchase for me. Rethink your shipping because some paper on the top and bottom along with a fragile sticker doesn’t cut it. It’s quite sad because it’s a taste of PA. that I will miss.
Wow what a great little spot. The owner showed us around the pretzel making factory and gave us a fresh pretzel to try. We were so impressed by the care and thoughtfulness of the owner. I would definitely recommend!
Martin's Pretzel Bakery of Akron, PA is the BEST! I order the 5 pound bag of broken special hard pretzels with no surface salt. It's pretzel perfection delivered by UPS right to my door! This is all that's left. Pretzel dust. Time to order more.
We were pretty disappointed when the place that we normally buy Martin's pretzels stopped carrying them so when in the area I'll always stop by to get a couple of packages. These are simply the BEST pretzels.The factory/bakery in Akron PA is a really neat operation, smaller than expected but very tidy with workers who obviously care about the product that they make and ship to consumers.My advice is to come for the pretzels and stick around the historical corner of PA for a while.
The women who work at the twisting table at Martin’s Pretzel Bakery in Akron, Pa., can twist about 10 pretzels a minute, producing more than 1,200 pounds of the salted snack a day.

Martin's Pretzel Bakery, family owned and operated for Generations. Their pretzels are handcrafted and are baked well. They have the lovely crunch that you long for in every pretzel. Make sure to pick your Martin's Pretzels up at your local grocer or convenience store. Also stop in and meet the great people that operate this bakery.
