Born out of a desire to serve a community, The Bretzel is a local Dublin bakery with a long history of baking good bread. Open to new ideas while keeping its spirit and traditions intact, the passion of the Bretzel bakers is to make wholesome bread which retains its nutritious qualities. Long fermentation and good ingredients give great flavour, aroma and digestibility.

William works closely with their customers perfecting the various styles of bread required, from dense sourdough to fluffy white rolls. Bakers prepare up to seventeen distinct dough mixes each evening.

The bread selection includes fabulous wholegrain (crunchy and wholesome), tomato and fennel baps (sweet and liquorice) olive and walnut loaves (nutty and dense), rye and caraway (crunchy and treacly) and Irish brown soda (buttermilky and comforting). Continental baguettes and focaccias, bagels and dinner buns are also available. Sweet treats include buns, sponges, tarts and cakes, while the onsite cafe in Portobello serves hearty sandwiches and light snacks.

The Bretzel Bakery sells bread and deli items from the original shop and cafe on Lennox Street, Portobello, Dublin and the bread can also be found in shops and supermarkets across Dublin and Kildare.
