Upon returning home to Milwaukee after living in Germany for a year, Katie and Matt Wessel struggled to find the soft pretzels they fell in love with at Munich beer gardens. So they got to baking and in 2013 founded Milwaukee Pretzel Company. Today, our Bavarian pretzels are enjoyed in tap rooms, bars, restaurants, amusement parks, sports arenas and homes across the country. And each one is still handmade right here in Milwaukee by a great team of people using the highest quality ingredients, no preservatives and a whole lot of love.
