I am beyond excited to tell you about Tu-Lu's Gluten Free Bakery, my new favorite place to satisfy my annoying and persistent sweet tooth. Tully, an SMU graduate, and Jen, formerly in the financial industry, opened the first Tu- Lu's in New York. The Dallas location, in Preston Center, opened for business early this past March. Everything in the bakery is (obviously) gluten free - cookies, cakes, cupcakes, wedding cakes (maybe one day...), panini sandwiches, muffins, etc... They also offer dairy-free and vegan items. I heard about this place via Facebook post from my cousin's girlfriend, who suggested my aunt and I go check it out. Don't have to tell me twice. The following week after my BarreAmped class, I went with a girlfriend of mine, who recently discovered her intolerance to gluten. We pulled up to the cute little bakery full of cute little cupcakes, cookies and muffins. My friend and I were oohing and ahhing over the delicious display. After what seemed like we ordered one of everything, we each sat down with our panini and side salad. Wow. Seriously, the ham and havarti panini with whole grain mustard left me speechless as I was only able to make strange noises to my friend while we inhaled our sandwiches. Strange and satisfying utters seemed to be our only way to communicate as we sampled each one of our purchases: cupcakes, cookies, donuts(!), corn muffins and a cinnamon coffee cake. Pure happiness :)
Thank you, Tully and Jen, for bringing your sweet little bakery to Dallas!
Tuesday, I took my mom to Tu-Lu's for her birthday (before Dallas was struck by tornados). No one should go cupcake-less on their birthday, with or without tornados in the forecast. We each ordered mini double chocolate cupcakes and shared a snickerdoole cookie. Then we wondered why we only ordered mini cupcakes...
