Lulu’s Coffee y Tacos is coming to New Braunfels, planning a small coffee-and-taco location along busy Highway 46. The hybrid café is set to open in a storefront within the W. Highway 46 retail strip, with a target debut in spring 2026 following a brief early-year buildout. Current details are primarily available through permit filings and company confirmations.
Permit timeline points to an early 2026 buildout
Permit documents, reported by What Now San Antonio, list the location as 1847 W Hwy 46 Unit A, with construction set to begin in January 2026 and finish by March 31, 2026. The team has confirmed that the new location will serve coffee and tacos, though broader branding and website details are still being finalized. The short construction timeline indicates a straightforward fit-out to meet the planned spring opening.
Who’s behind the project
The project appears connected to HiBar Hospitality Group, the parent company formed when Hopdoddy and Grub merged, as noted in industry reports. PR Newswire covered the Hopdoddy-Grub combination, and state corporate filings list Adriana Bourgeois among HiBar’s authorized contacts. Florida Division of Corporations records confirm her name on recent filings, and directory listings identify her as HiBar’s vice president of finance.
Where it will sit
The permit identifies a unit within the 1847 W State Highway 46 parcel, a multi-tenant retail strip on New Braunfels’ west side. Commercial listings via LoopNet show the property hosts several storefronts and neighborhood services along the corridor. The location positions Lulu’s to capture commuter traffic while remaining accessible to nearby residential areas.
What to expect
Menu and hours details remain limited, though early reports indicate the concept will combine brewed and espresso coffee with tacos aimed at daytime customers. What Now San Antonio notes that the team is still finalizing the website and menu items, so additional information is expected as permits progress. Given the short construction timeline, the owners may opt for a low-key soft opening rather than a large launch event.
Observers will be monitoring new filings, company updates, and signage as construction begins. For now, the permit timeline provides the clearest indication of when New Braunfels can expect Lulu’s Coffee y Tacos to open along Highway 46.
