    OMG I was so excited to stop here! I am Czech so finding Czech food is always exciting to me. I have always loved cheese kolaches but as I get older, I am willing to try different flavors. Besides my father's cooking when I go home to visit, I rarely get to enjoy Czech food, especially living in FL. We stopped here late morning/early afternoon. Surprisingly, everything was selling quickly. Inside, you can choose to sit down and eat or order to go from the bakery counter. It was very overwhelming in there because it was really busy and there were so many choices!! I saw they had sausage and cheese kolaches so I had to get one of those. OMG it was so friggin good!! I chose a couple fruit ones as well. Since they were so busy, stock was decreasing quickly. Hubs is not as familiar with my culture but he did enjoy the kolaches. Any time I discover apricot items, I go for it. I also purchased the apple and I believe the strawberry. Every single one was delicious and brought back so many memories of enjoying these with my family in the Czech Republic. I did explore later on if they ship and when I did find something, it was like $50+ I think for the shipping so I decided to hold off until a possible road trip that was in the future.

    I love to try new places on road trips. driving between Houston and San Antonio just a little off I10 in Sealy is the Original Kountry Bakery. It is a small-ish restaurant with a drive through. The place was not dirty but it has an older worn-out feel. I mainly stopped in to try out the pastries. So the service was so so, the person working behind the counter was not very helpful when asked about flavors and recommendations. To be honest she seemed disinterested in general. We ordered 2 kolaches and a slice of pie. our first options for fillings on the pie and Kolaches were out of stock so we went with what they had that sounded good. Cream Cheese Kolaches: the breading was soft and it was an ok size however all I could taste was a heavy heavy butter taste. Almost like movie theater butter flavor. I ended up not eating all of it because of the butter flavor Pineapple Kolaches: The breading was soft and was the same size as the others, however the pineapple filling was basically just off the shelf jelly. the biggest issue was that it stated just like a pineapple soda and not in a good way. It just seemed that it was infused with "pineapple flavor". In the end it was not the worst thing, but not that good. Lemon Meringue Pie: The Pie was average size slice. the meringue was pilled very high. I found the density of the meringue was very thick. It was not supple, and more ridged than I am used to. The lemon filling was an ok consistency, however the flavor was more out processed than fresh lemon flavor. the crust was fine. The biggest theme for the restaurant was that everything I tasted seemed to have a processed flavor, like the flavoring/ingredients they used was out of a can or store bought liquid. It was very noticeable when I try three totally different flavors and come away with the same thought. I would honestly say, that I have had pastry out of a package from a convenient store that tasted better than the items I sampled. In my opinion The Kountry Bakery is not worth the exit off of the freeway.

    Boudin Kolache - a must try

    Had to swing by here since I saw it was a good place to go if you are traveling from San Antonio to Houston. This is a must try, especially the kolaches. They have a variety of savory and sweet kolaches, and so many pastries and pies to choose from. You can come in and order, call ahead, or do the drive through. Convenient spot to stop by and pick up some baked goods. Parking is easy, you can park in the front or the back. Staff is friendly and facility is clean.

    Must try bakery. Very fresh and so many options. Tried the Dewberry cream square (so good!) Also the strawberry croissant and a slice of peach pie. So so good. A bit sweet but great - so many options for pie

    Apple Square

    Another stop on the "Texas Kolache Trail". This place is pretty small; it is a family-run place and that really shines here! Everything is great quality; I enjoyed their apple square and apple turnover immensely. There is plenty of parking around the small red building plus there is a drive-thru if you already know what you want. Support local!

    Sticky bun
    CW L.

    Stopped here on the way back to Seguin. Tried the sticky buns, snickerdoodles, gingerbread and sugar cookies. All was good. The gingerbread was OK, maybe too much ginger. The girls loved the rice crispy treats. We will stop again.

    If you're in the area, this is a great spot to grab some kolaches. The staff is friendly and the treats are good. There's plenty of seating inside. I recommend getting there early, because late in the day supplies are limited in the popular ones. Parking: Plenty of parking.

    Don't go in there if you're not from there. Pastries are good, the side eyes are not. Needless to say we took them to-go.

    Great sausage + cheese + jalapeño! I also liked the family-run vibe and the blueberry square.

    A must stop if you are traveling between Houston and Austin on Hwy 71. I'm usually a Bucees guy,…read morebut this place specializes in something that the beaver doesn't. Kolaches! Arguably one of the greatest foods ever invented. Atleast in my world. How can you go wrong with bread filled with sweet or savory fillings? Hruska's is about halfway between Houston and Austin and a perfect rest stop to fill up on gas, use the clean facilities, grab a snack or indulge in their amazing baked goods. They are steeped in history and have been around for decades passing along the family recipes. It's obviously improved structurally over the years from a country store and looks like a modern gas station now. It's always pretty busy every time I have stopped in, but they are a well oiled machine and keep the masses moving with excellent customer service. They have all your gas station essentials like snacks and beverages. What sets them apart is their bakery. Here, they label their kolaches as the traditional fruit filled variety. I like them, but they are never my first choice. I love the ones with meat inside. Here, they label these as pigs in a blanket. They have a large variety of both. I usually go for a regular sausage and cheese, but over here, they sell a delicious pan sausage kind. On top of all their sweet and savory baked goods, they also sell burgers on the grill. Their burgers have made it to the Texas Monthly Top 50 burger spots. I have yet to try it. Overall, this is an always stop place for me. I highly recommend stopping here to stretch your legs and enjoy a delicious pastry while you're at it. I will definitely be back.

    Great half way stop between Houston and Austin. Friendly gas stop / local bakery with a Texas…read moreSouthern Hospitality vibe. Gas prices were reasonable for being directly off 71 and service was friendly. Plenty of snacking choices with a local bakery with signature kolaches and Danish. Worth a look !!
