Inspired by his pastry shop work experience in Australia, owner Stanley Chen began selling German soft pretzels (bretzels) from a food cart near Park Lane by CMP mall during Christmas 2014. With many loyal customers, he decided in 2021 to open this warm, cozy, festive-feeling shop, a two-story space accommodating around 40 guests.
Showcasing traditional German flavors, the highly recommended Bavarian Harvest (NT$328) platter includes a traditional bretzel served with house-made Obatzda cheese spread, German pork knuckle and sausages, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, plus a balsamic vinaigrette salad, featuring crispy puffed rice handmade by Stanley's mom for an added fragrance and crunch. The pork knuckle boasts crispy skin and tender juicy meat, pairing wonderfully with sauerkraut and mustard. Softer, chewy American-style soft pretzels are also available. Popular flavors include freshly baked creme brulee-like Crispy Sugar (NT$50), Cinnamon Sugar (NT$50) and Heavy Cheese (NT$55). Overall, The Bretzel is perfect for brunch or a relaxing afternoon with a pretzel and a cup of coffee or hot tea.
製作扭結麵包的靈感，源自老闆 Stanley Chen 早年在澳洲點心店工作的經驗，也因扭結麵包結下這段創業的緣分。自 2014年聖誕節起，蘊樂所於動美商圈以攤車形式販售德國扭結麵包（Bretzel），直到2021年終於擁有這間洋溢著溫暖聖誕氣息的店面，期間也累積了許多忠實顧客。雙樓層空間約可容納40位客人，氣圍溫暖而舒適。
餐點推薦巴伐利亞大豐收（328元），最能體現德國傳統風味。以正統德國扭結麵包佐自製Obatzda起司抹醬、德國豬腳與香腸佐酸菜與芥末馬鈴薯泥，並附上巴沙米克油醋醬油拉，沙拉中還能吃到老闆母親手工製作的爆米香粒，清香輕脆，增添層次。德式豬腳外皮酥脆、肉質軟嫩多汁，搭配酸菜與芥末醬，更能提升整體風味。另有美式扭結麵包，外皮與口感軟為柔軟，但保有關勁，口味選擇豐富，其中現烤焦糖（50元）、肉桂糖霜（50元）與烤起司（55元）最受歡迎。現烤焦糖香氣娉美烤布雷，烤起司與厚實麵包十分合拍，而肉桂口味更是常被秒殺的人氣款。整體而言，這裡很適合在午下餐時段或午後時光，搭配一杯咖啡與熟茶，好好褒賞自己。
