EARLY WRITE-UPS

"Popularly known as the Jewish bakery, the Bretzel's bread can be found in a variety of shops around Dublin city centre. Nothing however, can beat queueing up on a Sunday morning for freshly baked rolls, bagels, onion bagels and the best croissants north of the English Channel".

The very first "Irish Food Guide" published 1989
"Most Dubliners who queue up for the Bretzel's bagels do so because they taste good. But anyone who is Jewish can rest assured that the requisite prayers and ingredients are said and included to make this baking kosher and delicious".

"Bagels and croissants are the specialities of the Bretzel and, both, especially the bagels, are spot on. Good onion rolls also at the weekends, and good thick wedges of different flavoured cakes all week long. Join the queue on a Suday morning, a pleasant alternative to religious services".

Both quotes from the first ever Bridgestone Irish Food Guide

David Williams, ThymeOut, Dalkey
"This is proper artisan bread, a truly unique product. It has no additives or preservatives and that's why our customers love it!"

"We use the lovely soft Bretzel bagettes and granary bread for our sandwiches and the product sells itself"

"I wouldn't change the Bretzel Bread for all the tea in China!"
