We Houstonians love us some kolaches and Anamaris Cousins Price found The Original Kolache Shoppe (note the old world spelling giving it that extra…something) near Hobby Airport and she was, to say the least, impressed.

Commenter ec gave us a helpful tip:

If you have a big order, call in advance and they will have them ready. This place makes them in small quantities so they stay fresher and don’t always have what you want on hand.

Good to know, ec. Good to know. So, next time anyone is placing a big order to bring up to the Houston Press offices, you’ll know it’s a good idea to call ahead. Ahem.
