Miller's Twist: More Than Pretzels at Reading Terminal Market

Reading Terminal Market is conveniently located across the street along 12th Avenue from the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. Making use of that convenience I returned to the market this morning to greg breakfast beginning my first full day in the city.

As usual the word "bacon" caught my attention. Miller's Twist sells pretzel logs filled with bacon, egg & cheese for $3 or two for $5.50. Other fillings include egg whites & mozzarella; egg & cheese; and turkey, egg & cheese. In addition to their signature pretzels, the shop sells pretzel dogs, pretzel cheesesteaks and Lancaster ice cream. A cup of coffee completed my simple meal.

The pretzel log is lightly coated sesame and is crispy and buttery on the outside. The bread beneath the crust is warm and wholesome. It tastes like a stuffed soft pretzel once some mustard is added to each bite. I should have bought two. The service was fast and friendly.

Miller's Twist is open Mon-Tues 9:30am-4pm; Wed 8am-3:30pm and Thu-Sat 8am-5pm.
