We're Sammy's Brezels — a small family business bringing a little slice of Germany to North Canterbury.
In Germany, a proper Brezel isn't just a pretzel shape. It's a Laugenbrezel — dipped in lye (Natronlauge) before baking, which gives it that deep brown colour, the satisfying chew, and a flavour you genuinely can't replicate any other way. It's what every bakery in Europe does. It's also something you'll struggle to find anywhere in New Zealand.
Until now.
We bake in small batches, to order, using traditional German methods. No shortcuts, no industrial processes. When you order a Brezel from us, someone actually makes it — for you.
We're based in the Waimakariri district, and we deliver across the region. You can also find us every Saturday morning at the Amberley Farmers Market, where we love having a chat with our regulars and newcomers alike.
Why Brezels, not Pretzels? Because that's what they're called in German — and we're proud of where they come from.
We're regular stall holders at the Amberley Farmers Market every Saturday, 9am–12:30pm. Come say hello — no pre-order needed at the market.
Want to enjoy your Brezels another day? Freeze them — ideally the same day you get them. When you're ready, take them straight from the freezer into the air fryer at 150°C for 4 minutes. They'll taste like they just came out of the oven — we promise.
Four ways to get your Brezels — and a fifth if none of these suit you.
Orders must be placed at least 24 hours before your chosen delivery or collection time.
Brezels make every occasion better — from a Friday morning tea to a kids' birthday party or a community festival.
Treat your team to fresh Brezels delivered straight to the office or site. A talking point, not just a snack. Vegetarian and vegan options always available.
Half-time pretzels, match-day snacks, club canteen orders. Brezels are portable, crowd-pleasing, and something your supporters will actually remember.
School galas, fairs, markets, fundraisers, birthdays and kids' birthday parties. We can supply in bulk for your event — get in touch and let's make it work.
Morning teas, board meetings, client events. Authentic German Brezels are an unexpected, memorable choice that stands out from the usual platter.
The warm, fresh-baked scent of a Brezel fills a house like nothing else — and buyers remember it. We supply open homes across Waimakariri (minimum 20 Brezels, delivered to site).

Everything you need to know about ordering, delivery and our Brezels.
A Brezel, or Laugenbrezel, is the traditional German soft pretzel: hand-rolled dough dipped in food-grade lye before baking, which gives it its deep mahogany crust and distinctive flavour. It is chewy and golden outside, soft and fluffy inside, and finished with coarse pretzel salt. We bake ours fresh to order.
