It’s worth stopping by for a warm pretzel in different flavors. I highly recommend the chocolate and banana pretzel — absolutely delicious. This modern artisan pretzel stand in Kraków’s Old Town and near the main train station. They offer a creative twist on classic pretzels—including cinnamon, pumpkin seed, chocolate-banana, and savory “preclodogi” (pretzel hot‑dogs) with salami or mozzarella. The brand plays on its fiery name (“Hot Pretzel”), celebrating bold flavors and fresh ingredients like real butter, whole seeds, and fruit fillings https://maps.app.goo.gl/Sb9Dqu6MY7aGbbjm7 My Kraków Travel Guide: Best Places to Eat, Stay & Explore 19 TRY IT NOW 🍩 Dobra Pączkarnia Kraków In the same area, there’s an excellent donut shop — their donuts are worth trying.
