11 Essential Houston Kolache Shops
Add these Texas kolaches filled with pho beef, Lebanese sausage, and cherry cream cheese to your list
In Texas, there is no pastry more revered than the kolache. Brought to the Lone Star State by Czech immigrants in the 1800s, this doughy concoction that’s stuffed with fruit and cream fillings has served as an easy breakfast, lunch, or snack that can be devoured casually with one’s hands. Its savory counterparts — technically (and more appropriately) called klobásnĂks or klobasneks — are often the most popular choice, thanks to their wide variety of fillings like the traditional sausage and Houston-centric spins with boudin and barbecued meats.
Fortunately, Houston is home to a bounty of kolache shops serving stuffed pillowy, sweet and savory pastries that can cut through a hangover and satisfy a serious dough craving. Whether you’re into kolaches or klobásnĂks, traditional flavors or something more modern, these Houston pastry shops have you covered.
