Proof positive that everything really is bigger in Texas.
A 3 pound cinnamon roll.
A tasty treat that you’ll only find deep in the heart of Texas at Lulu’s Bakery and Café in San Antonio.
48 ounces of breakfast fun that Southern Living Magazine ranks as one of the "50 things you must do when visiting Texas”.
A fluffy, sweet and gooey delight that you have to see (and eat) to believe.
So that’s exactly what this blogger did.
Lulu's philosophy is pretty simple, offer Texas-sized portions of great tasting home cooking at reasonable prices.
Throw in and a huge slice of southern hospitality (along with your huge cinnamon roll), and you have the Lulu's experience.
And you’ll find it all just a few blocks from two of San Antonio’s top attractions, the Alamo and the Riverwalk.
In a city that seems to have an awesome breakfast spot on just about every corner, Lulu’s massive cinnamon roll is as unique as is the old school diner that serves it up along Main Avenue in the shadows of the art deco San Antonio skyline.
Word has it that they sell more than 25 of the 3 pound cinnamon rolls a day on weekdays at Lulu’s and that number jumps to over 200 a day on weekends.
Some folks still refer to it as Lulu’s Jailhouse Café as back in the day in a previous life it used to sit right across the street from the city jail.
Open 24 hours a day an 7 days a week, Lulu’s is not only known for its three pound cinnamon roll, it is also arguably home to one of the best (and biggest) chicken fried steaks in San Antonio, a town known for that Texas delicacy. The breakfast tacos are also to die for! No wonder their motto at Lulu’s is "never trust a skinny cook."
And not to worry if you’re concerned that you won’t be able to down the entire 3 pound cinnamon roll in one seating at Lulu’s.
You could say the breakfast treat travels well.
Our friendly waitress bagged-up the portion of the massive cinnamon roll that we couldn’t finish and sent us off letting us know that it doesn’t even need to be refrigerated. Perfect for the tourist (or blogger) on the go!
So make sure, along with the Alamo and the Riverwalk, you add the 3 pound cinnamon roll at Lulu’s to your list of must-do things in the must-see city of San Antonio!
