About
THE PRETZEL BOSS

Hi, I'm Nicole Elledge, founder of The Pretzel Boss, where every knot is hand-twisted, & crafted with care. 

​

What started as a simple love for baking and sharing my delicious food has grown into a small-batch pretzel business built on passion, creativity, quality and locally-sourced ingredients. I've always believed the best food tells a story -- and for me, that story begins with warm memories of homemade dough, family gatherings, and the joy of making something from scratch.
