One of the downsides of marrying a military man is that you don't get to be home very often. It is even more dissapointing when you realize that kolaches cannot be found outside of Texas. That said, this is my first breakfast when I come back to town!
I could rate this place 5 stars on the awesome doughnuts and kolaches alone, but the memories make this family shop even better! Don't bother with the Shipley's down the road, they're good and all, but Donald's is exponentially better!
My family moved to Seabrook the summer before 8th grade (14 years ago), and started attending Seabrook United Methodist Church, which, until Ike decided to blow through town, was almost precisely next door. Every Sunday morning, my dad and I would come. He would get coffee, a sausage croissant sandwich, and a coconut topped doughnut. I, having the metabolism of a god before I decided to have a baby, would order a ham and cheese kolache, jumbo sausage croissant kolache, sausage and jalapeño kolache, and an eclair for dessert! Dad would read the paper and hand me the comics, and we would chill out and enjoy our super healthy breakfast *wink*! Hey, I had milk!!
Jennifer was always back there to warmly welcome us, knew us by name, and would come chit chat with us about life and school when it wasn't super busy! Fast forward 9 years, and there I am, standing at her counter with my big baby belly. I hadn't been in for about a year since I made my first move to Ohio, and she remembered my dad's and my names and chatted at length about my pregnancy! 9 months later, I was back with my 6 month old son for Christmas and we talked like I saw her last week! This time, they had boudain kolaches, and I was working on losing my baby weight, so I just got that, with jalapeños, of course, intending to share half with my husband. Nope, I inhaled that bundle of love! Most recently, I came in toting my now 5 year old in for his birthday. Along with my new favorite boudain kolache, we picked up Dad's favorites, an apole fritter for Mom, and a "Captain America" doughnut (Blue icing with red, white, and blue sprinkles), and an Angry Bird doughnut for the little! Of course, Jenniffer still knew me, and marveled at how massively tall that boy has gotten!
Everything on the menu is awesome! I'm a savory girl, so I tend to stick with the meat filled kolaches, and seriously, I've tried them all, and have stolen bites off of the doughnuts of my family members! I love all of the meaty delights, but their sweet doughnuts are pretty amazing, which is saying something for a girl who doesn't dig sweet. Besides the meat kolaches, my personal favorites are the eclairs, coconut topped cake doughnut, apple fritter, bear claw, and conversations with Jenniffer!
