Elbow Bread Sweet Potato Pretzel: Straight from the oven, this sweet potato take on a classic pretzel was pretty much flawless – great amount of chew, just enough seasoning, and a subtle sweet, roasted flavor you're unlikely to find anywhere else. I love pretzels, and I'm pretty sure this is the best one I've ever had. New from Elbow Bakery at the border of Chinatown / LES. 5.0/5.0

It was kind of like the coating on sour cream and onion Pringles except 2x more concentrated. The pretzel was very buttery but had a nice soft texture. Actually pretty good for an...

Texture is not great-not quite a cracker or a chip, and somewhat stale. But unlike most pretzel snacks, it's not overly seasoned. Works well with dips. 3.0/5.0
