A Short Review of Mass-Produced Honey Buns

SteveDallas · 04-06-2007, 06:41 PM

I have to put in a plug for Lula's Cinnamon Rolls, located at the Four Seasons Mall in Greensboro, NC. (This was during my salad days in the late 80s... I can't swear they're still there.) The cinnamon buns were absolutely delicious, but the real treat was the frosting--thick, creamy, and just all-around yummy. One time I had a tray of 1/2 dozen of them. (Why? I forget. We must have been having visitors or something and decided to have a treat for breakfast the next morning.) Anyway, I was carrying this tray out to my car, and as I walked through the mall and then out the department store, I could just feel the lustful eyes of my fellow shoppers on the portable heart attacks as I walked out. I'm surprised I wasn't mugged for them.

Hi, I noticed your post about Lula's cinnamon buns when I googled them just a few minutes ago in a desperate attempt to possibly find their gooey delisciousness once again, LOL! I am very sad to report that they have not been in Four Seasons in quite some years and I cannot find them anywhere else. My family is from Burlington which is just down the road from G'boro, we used to drive there very often just for a cinnamon bun. . .with extra frosting of course!!
I just had to acknowledge a fellow Lula's-lover and share the sad news. In comparison to Lula's, Cinnabon buns PALE in their shadow, so I'll continue to search for any trace of Lula! I'll not be satisfied with any cinnamon bun until I find her!! LOL!

I believe you--Cinnabon is terrible! There's too much...something in them. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Steve Dallas,
Unfortunately, Lulas is no longer at the Four Seasons. I was in college in Greensboro in the 90's and LOVED there cinn rolls and sticky buns. I moved to NYC after I graduated. Went back to visit my alma mater 2 years ago and "sneak" over to Lula's - Gone.

I miss that place don't know what happened to them. I asked around but no one seemed to know.
