A Real Fall Treat: This Texas Bakery Boasts Some Of The Largest Cinnamon Rolls You'll Ever See

When folks say that everything is bigger in Texas, they aren't just talking about the state's largest restaurant, The Oasis on Lake Travis, which can serve over 2,000 guests at a time ... apparently, they are also referring to pastries. The town of League City, Texas is home to Bonnie's Donuts, purveyors of five- and 10-pound cinnamon rolls. No, that isn't a typo: Bonnie's is dishing up gooey, flaky confections as big as a hubcap, and it's been in the business of giant cinnamon rolls for almost 10 years. It also serves regular-sized cinnamon rolls, of course, along with other donut shop fare like cronuts, crullers, and apple fritters. But, for a magical taste of autumn that's big enough to feed the whole fam, you gotta check out the shop's enormous cinnamon rolls!

According to Lee and Natalie, the husband and wife owners of Bonnie's, they discovered the appeal of massive cinnamon rolls after concocting one for a neighbor of the bakery, who was so impressed that she posted the pastry on social media to great fanfare. Now, the cinnamon rolls have gone viral, and business is booming. This is unlikely to be a last-minute whim, however, as Bonnie's staff asks for at least one day's notice if you want to order one of these monsters. That isn't surprising when you remember that accounting for time to proof and bake the dough is one of the mistakes many people make when baking homemade cinnamon rolls!

We've heard of a TikTok hack to make canned cinnamon rolls taste yummier (it involves heavy cream), but we can't imagine the process and ingenuity it takes to make a cinnamon roll heavier than most newborn babies. Bonnie's clearly has the process mastered, however, and its bakers have even expanded their reign of oversized sweets beyond cinnamon rolls. To that end, its droolworthy Facebook feed features a "Texas-sized" cherry fritter as big as a large pizza!

Online, customers have positive things to say about the bakery's wares. "Their apple cider and pumpkin spice doughnuts are so good they will make you drop to your knees!" one Facebook guest gushed. "The orange were the bomb diggity," another happy customer enthused, talking about fritters. On Google reviews, a commenter addressed the monster main attraction: "5 lb cinnamon roll most definitely worth the trip. We came all the way up from Fort Worth to see what the hype was all about. Bonnie's donuts delivered!" And, on Yelp, a glowing 4.8/5 star average proves that the good reviews are no fluke. "Delicious donuts and kolaches! Love the red velvet donuts. Everything is so fresh and yummy," another satisfied visitor sighed.

Those watching their budgets will be happy to learn that, except for the oversized pastries, almost nothing at Bonnie's Donuts breaks the $10 price point. Of course, those watching their caloric intake might want to proceed with caution! One look at the display case, with its moist, toothsome donuts, and you'll fall in love.
