We’ve been hearing the whispers, reading the posts, and seeing the early bites… so we made the drive out to Swannanoa to see what all the fuss was about. And let us tell you — Blunt Pretzels has officially changed the breakfast game in Western North Carolina.
There’s a New Must-Eat Breakfast Sandwich in Swannanoa — Wrapped in a Pretzel
Just minutes east of Asheville, this already beloved pretzel shop has added something new to their menu that’s causing a carb-fueled stir: pretzel breakfast sandwiches.
And yes — they’re just as incredible as they sound.
🥓 Meet the Star of the Morning
Picture this:
A warm, chewy, golden-brown pretzel roll, sliced and stacked with your choice of bacon or sausage, a fluffy egg, and perfectly melted cheese. It’s soft, salty, savory, and slightly sweet — basically everything you want in a breakfast sandwich, but with a pretzel-forward twist.
We didn’t try customizing ours (yet), but we’re pretty sure they’d double up your bacon and sausage if you asked nicely.
🥨 A Toast to the Pretzel
Pretzels aren’t new — they’ve been around for centuries. Thought to have originated in Europe, possibly by monks in Italy or Germany as early as the 7th century, the pretzel was a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Its classic twisted shape was said to represent arms in prayer.
Fast forward a few centuries and pretzels have evolved from humble snacks to a full-blown bakery category. Today, we see them everywhere:
- Soft pretzels at ballparks
- Pretzel buns in gourmet burgers
- Pretzel croissants, nuggets, sticks, and even bagel hybrids
Blunt Pretzels has taken this time-tested bread and made it the foundation of a killer new breakfast offering — proving that pretzels aren’t just snacks anymore. They’re sandwich-ready staples.
🌟 More Than Breakfast
Blunt Pretzels is more than a bakery — it’s a local hub. Grab a seat inside or out, enjoy a craft beer on tap, order up a few pretzels to go, or sip on a Coca-Cola like we did.
They’ve been feeding this region with care, especially when the community needed them most (shoutout to their generosity during storms and hard times). So whether you’re a local restaurant looking to source fresh pretzel rolls, or just someone who loves a good brunch, this spot is one to support.
If you’re in the Asheville area and haven’t made the short drive to Swannanoa yet — consider this your sign.
Thank you, Blunt Pretzels — and congrats on launching your new sammies. You’ve given Western North Carolina a breakfast worth buzzing about. 🥨🔥
