About Gil's Broiler & The Manske Roll Bakery

Our Story

Our Story

It started in a nursing home kitchen. Mrs. Manske wasn’t a baker by trade — she was a caretaker. But when she brought her homemade cinnamon rolls to work, something happened. A legend was born. Over the decades, the Manske Roll became a San Marcos icon — from freezer aisles to fraternity houses to generations of locals who swear by it.
Our Team

Our Team

We’re a small, tight-knit team of makers, dreamers, and legacy-builders. Some of us grew up on Manske Rolls. Others came for the icing and stayed for the mission. We all believe in baking with purpose — staying true to the original while rolling into something even bigger. We’re here to make every roll melt-in-your-mouth. And every customer feel like they’re part of something legendary.
