Frequently Asked Questions
Do you remember that delicious, buttery smell that drew you inside your local mall for an afternoon of treats and retail therapy? Chances are that fresh-baked aroma came from an Auntie Anne’s.
Founded in 1988, Auntie Anne's has an allergen sheet that lets vegans know what on the menu is plant-based. And to our delight, many of their famous pretzels can be made vegan by ordering without butter. Here, we reveal every plant-based item at Auntie Annie's and our top ordering tips for vegans.
Best Bet: The Original Pretzel
You don’t always need a new twist to keep customers coming back for more. The very popular Original Pretzel is pure salty, vegan goodness. Just make sure to order without butter.
Vegan Pretzels
Some of the hot soft pretzels are off-limits to plant-based eaters—specifically, the ones made with dairy or a hot dog that cannot be made vegan. However, many of Auntie Anne’s all-time bestsellers are vegan as long as you ask for no butter. Here, we have a nice variety of sweet, salty, and spicy.
- The Original Pretzel
- ToastedAlmondCrunch
- Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel
- Jalapeno Pretzel
- Raisin Pretzel
Vegan Pretzel Nugget Bites
The Pretzel Nuggets give you all of the fun of the classic pretzels in a fun, sharable size. Again, be sure to have your server hold the butter.
- Original Soft Pretzel Nugget Bites
- Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzel Nugget Bites
Vegan Dips
Take your pretzel experience to the next level with one of Auntie Anne's vegan dips. You have the option of one sweet, one savory to pair with your pretzel or bites.
- Marinara Sauce (asavory, earthy tomato-based sauce)
- Sweet Glaze Dip (a velvety, brown-sugar-based dip)
Treehugger Tip
If a side of cheesy dipping sauce was a part of your happy childhood memories of Auntie Anne's, you can fill that void with plant-based versions of the old favorite. Daiya, Siete Cashew Queso, or Good Foods dips are often available at your local supermarkets.
Vegan Drinks
There are plenty of options in the drinks department. Choose your favorite fountain beverage or one of Auntie Anne's fruity quenchers.
- Coca-Cola
- Diet co*ke
