4. Easy Tiger

Out of all the places on this list, Easy Tiger may be one of the best pretzel spots in Austin. Easy Tiger is personally one of our favorites. We aren’t sure if it’s because of the welcoming ambiance, the face-sized pretzels, or the fact that they give you THREE dipping sauces! It’s most likely a combination of all three, but as you can tell, we truly treasure the Easy Tiger bakeries.
