If you see one, eat one. Our kolaches are becoming a staple on our baking menu.

Growing up down South, kolaches were our favorite thing to eat whenever we visited family in Houston. Now, they’re famous across the South and we’re excited to share as a part of our expansion into baking.

Originally introduced in Texas when immigrants arrived from the Czech Republic, there are sweet and savory varieties of these treats. They’re a fresh baked dough stuffed with with meat, cheese, veggies, or fruits.

We currently have a black forest ham and gouda, carnitas with jalapeno and chihuahua cheese, and a chicken sausage with sharp cheddar for savory options.

Try one next time you’re in.
