They have over 60 different types of do-nuts including creative one’s like a devil’s food filled one (!!!), crème filled do-nut bars (these are wider than your traditional éclair or “long-john”. Cake do-nuts with maple icing, cherry icing or strawberry icing and buttermilk cake do-nuts too.

A Texas style Kolach is a savory twist on the traditional Czech pastry

Their Kolaches are technically Klobasneky. Kolaches are Czech style pastry with fluffy brioche like dough with cheese and fruit gooeyness on top. Klobasneky are the same brioche type dough but with sausage in the middle. Think hot dog with a bun that covers the top too. You can add cheese and jalepenos (remember they are from Texas).
