Kolache Shoppe Debuts Its Sweet and Savory Czech Pastries in The Heights - Eater Houston
"Kolache Shoppe, a beloved Houston institution for Czech-style pastries, just debuted its second location in the Heights. The nearly fifty-year-old bakery just threw open its doors this morning at 1031 Heights Boulevard with 30 kolache flavors in tow. The new stand-alone outpost offers 1,200 square-feet of space at the Heights Central Station, with a drive-thru window on deck and a full-service espresso bar that slings Boomtown Coffee. Kolaches take center stage, of course, with a custom made kolache case by Cory Wagner of Dumptruck Design in the Heights. The glass, white steel, and reclaimed wood case “acts as a modern ‘frame’ for the pastry panorama,” according to a press release. Modern geometric riffs on Czech art adorn the walls. Butter-infused kolaches popular at the shop’s Richmond Avenue location made the trek to the Heights including breakfast varieties featuring eggs, bacon, cheese, and brisket. There’s a klobasniky made with Kiolbassa Polish-style sausage, plus flavors featuring cottage cheese, apricot, poppy seed, or Nutella, and even a vegan option. The new Heights location also offers a full-service coffee bar serving up espresso drinks as opposed to solely drip coffee found at the Richmond location." - Alaena Hostetter
