baking with love

In the Byron Shire

a family tradition

our story

Byron Bay Pretzels (BBP) is a local business within the Byron Shire, specializing in crafting a variety of freshly baked pretzel products. The inspiration behind BBP traces back to cherished memories of the enticing aroma of freshly baked pretzels in the streets of southern Germany, nestled in a quaint village within the black forest.

These memories include the delight of chocolate hazelnut cream spread on a warm pretzel for breakfast, accompanied by a glass of milk, as well as savoring a deliciously salty butter pretzel with a glass of beer. Another beloved combination was a hearty pretzel bun filled with meatloaf and mustard, a delicious regional delicacy seldom found abroad, yet serving as a nostalgic connection to a distant home.

Owner and founder of BBP, Torsten Krause, initially began baking these pretzels for personal enjoyment, which gradually evolved to sharing them at barbecues, celebrations, and gatherings. As the demand for these delectable treats grew, BBP swiftly responded to the call, fueled by the desire to bring the joy of freshly baked pretzels to the community and beyond.

The vision is to create lasting memories and evoke the same warm feelings associated with a fresh pretzel that inspired Torsten to bake his first batch in the kitchen, a sentiment that can now be shared in homes across the region. As this enchanting part of the world has become their new home, what better way to celebrate than with the presence of a delicious pretzel, embodying a sense of comfort and familiarity.
