Charming Helotes – A Hidden Gem Near San Antonio! 🎉

Just discovered the cutest little downtown area – Helotes, right near San Antonio! It’s packed with unique shops, tasty bites, and loads of small-town charm. 🥖 Spread the Loaves Sourdough Bakery My absolute favorite! 🥰 Their sourdough isn’t too tangy – it’s chewy, soft, and full of that perfect glutenous texture. 📅 Menu changes weekly + daily specials – follow them on Instagram for updates! ⏰ Hours: Wed–Sat, 9 AM–2 PM (but they close early if sold out!). I went at noon on Saturday and they were almost out – so go early! 🛍️ Shopping Fun Two lovely antique stores full of character Several gift shops with unique, well-curated items 🎁 🍤 Food Truck Scene We lucked out and caught a lobster roll food truck – a popular local favorite! 🦞🚚 🇲🇽 El Chaparral Mexican Restaurant A vibrant local spot with live Mexican music every night 🎶! Always packed – perfect for showing visitors that authentic Tex-Mex vibe. You can even request songs! 📌 Heads up: Almost everything is closed on Sundays! Plan your visit between Wednesday and Saturday for the full experience. #Helotes #SanAntonioWeekend #SourdoughLove #TexasTravel #LocalGem
