About Unique Snacks

Unique Snacks: Reading’s Premier Bakery & Pretzel Store

Nestled in the heart of Reading, Pennsylvania, Unique Snacks has carved out a reputation as a go-to bakery and pretzel store where innovation meets tradition. Whether you’re stopping by the outlet for a quick snack, ordering a custom gift box for a loved one, or placing a phone order to an APO address, Unique Snacks brings a warm, personalized touch to every interaction—and, of course, an irresistible pretzel to every palate.

Irresistible Pretzel Creations for Every Taste

At the core of Unique Snacks’ appeal is its remarkable variety of pretzel offerings. From classic splits and shells to inventive sourdough craft beer twists, there’s a flavor for every mood. One fan raves, “The sourdough craft beer pretzels had the best flavor,” while another declares these same beer-infused delights a true “game changer.” And for those with a sweet tooth, the dark chocolate covered splits consistently steal the show—“By far the best chocolate covered pretzels I have ever tried…fresh and delicious!”

While most customers hail the freshness, crunch, and straightforward ingredients of Unique Snacks’ products, a small contingent has noticed recent recipe tweaks affecting texture. Still, the vast majority agrees: crisp exteriors, tender centers, and flavor-forward seasoning keep patrons coming back day after day.

Sampling & Store Experience: Discover Your Next Favorite

One defining perk of visiting the Reading outlet is the generous sampling program. Clean, well-organized displays invite you to taste before you buy. “They have samples of all of their pretzels, so you can decide which are your favorites before you buy,” notes one customer—an approach that cultivates confidence and builds excitement around new and seasonal flavors. Whether you’re a savory purist or an adventurous snacker, the hands-on experience encourages a friendly exploration of the full menu.

Warm, Personalized Service

Beyond the pretzels themselves, the people at Unique Snacks make every visit memorable. Friendly hello’s turn into helpful conversations about flavor profiles, dietary preferences, and pairing suggestions. Customers frequently mention standout team members—especially Nilda, who “was absolutely phenomenal helping my friend and I figure out which pretzel would suit us best. Super friendly.” Whether it’s a quick in-store purchase or a detailed custom-order consultation, the attentive staff ensures you feel valued, informed, and never rushed.

Gift & Customization: Perfect for Any Occasion

Unique Snacks elevates the gift-giving experience with a dazzling array of pre-made and customizable offerings. From locally themed sports baskets to elegant tins filled with multigrain and extra-dark varieties, every gift can be tailored to suit birthdays, holidays, corporate events, and special milestones. Customers appreciate the breadth of options and the seamless blend of convenience and personalization: “They have many varieties of gift baskets. They even have local and national sports team themed gift baskets.”

Seamless Phone & APO Shipping

For those outside Reading—or serving overseas in the armed forces—Unique Snacks delivers more than pretzels; it delivers an effortless ordering experience. With zero automated menus, you connect directly to a friendly team member who guides you through product choices and shipping options. Military families particularly love the reliable APO process: “Every couple months I call up and…get to speak to an actual person right away…never been dissatisfied with a product from them.”

Pricing, Value, & Distribution

Value-conscious snackers will find plenty to love at Unique Snacks’ outlet store and during regular sales events. From week-before-holidays markdowns to surprise specials, there’s always a chance to stock up at a discounted rate. Still, a few customers note that premium items—especially the decadent chocolate-covered pretzels—can carry a higher price tag. As one reviewer put it, “Expensive but delicious…$10 for 6 pretzels. Maybe my priorities have changed.”

High demand has also led to occasional stockouts in retail channels. Fans hunting for the Original style or limited-edition shells may find shelves bare at partner stores like Publix. This scarcity only underscores the popularity of Unique Snacks’ offerings—and the importance of timely restocking efforts.
