Have you ever passed by a Auntie Anne’s Pretzel in a mall or the airport, sighed, and thought to yourself, “there’s no chance that place has anything vegan.”? If you have, don’t feel bad, I was doing it for years.
Here’s the thing though… we were wrong!
Auntie Anne’s pretzels are made fresh in store and if you order yours without butter, then you are good to go! (Note: Some locations will not do this for you so be prepared for possible disappointment)
There’s even multiple versions you can get and dips to go with them. So here ya go – everything vegan at Auntie Anne’s:
Vegan Options at Auntie Anne’s
Pretzels
1. Choose Soft Pretzel (the whole pretzel) or Pretzel Nuggets (bites).
2. Order fresh with NO butter. Be prepared for a wait time and be respectful–do not show up just before they close and request this.
- Original – Order fresh with NO butter. Every single pretzel is an original, and freshly baked to raise the standard of snacking. It’s the pretzel that started it all — made from five simple, fresh ingredients. Pick a pretzel up — it’s sure to return the favor!
- Cinnamon Sugar – Order fresh with NO butter. A soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel will satisfy any spirit. It’s hot from the oven, sprinkled with fresh cinnamon, sweet sugar and handed right over.
- Sweet Almond – Order fresh with NO butter. This sweet yet salty pretzel is baked fresh and topped with our own toasted almond crunch.
The Original and Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Nuggets are available in a bucket size as well.

Auntie Anne’s Vegan FAQ
Is Auntie Anne’s sweet glaze vegan?
Yes! Auntie Anne’s Sweet Glaze dip is accidentally vegan. Highly recommend pairing it up with the Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel. The sweet glaze dip is not the only dipping sauce option – the Marinara dip is vegan as well.
Are the Raisin Pretzel and Jalapeno Pretzels vegan?
When ordered fresh with NO butter, the Raisin Pretzel and Jalapeno Pretzels are both accidentally vegan. Unfortunately, as of late 2025, neither are on the menu.
Is Auntie Anne’s dairy free?
Yes! Auntie Anne’s has numerous dairy free options. The Original, Cinnamon Sugar, Sweet Almond, Raisin and Jalapeno pretzels are all dairy free AS LONG AS you order your pretzel fresh and request NO butter.
In addition to the pretzels, Auntie Anne’s has two dairy free dipping sauces as well – the Marinara and Sweet Glaze Dips.
Our Picks
Ryan’s Pick: It’s really hard to go wrong with any of the pretzels, but the Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel is amazing. Pair it up with the Sweet Glaze Sauce and it’s an absolute home run.
Jen’s Pick: The Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel is really good but it is a lot of sugar so for less with a hint of sweet are the Sweet Almond Pretzels. I also prefer the bites vs the whole pretzel.
