"Ellinger doesn’t get half the hype that West gets for its kolaches, but you’ll still find some killer combinations (jalapeño-sausage & cheese) at this stop."

Eric Sandler

"Try not to leave without grabbing a couple sausage kolaches."

Chet Garner

"To taste delicious Czech culture and a true Texas road trip tradition, head to Hruska’s in Ellinger, for a klobasniky (the meat kolaches)."

Katharine Shilcutt

"Fresh, hot, sweet kolaches are the main draw at Hruska’s."

AFAR Magazine

"In 1952, they opened a service station along the road and began serving eager travelers kolaches made by Aldophine Krenek, who sourced the poppy seeds from her own garden. Using her recipe, the store continues to sell 16 varieties of kolaches (we love the spinach and feta) and klobasnikys."

Gerald E. McLeod

"Most regulars would rate Hruska's kolaches or the klobasneks (pigs in a blanket) as the best items on the bakery's menu. The delicious little pastry pillows with fruit filling are incredibly light and fluffy."

Dram Good Whisky Lady

"We ate the sausage and jalapeno kolaches before I could snap a pic! The sweet kolaches were equally yummy."

Les Thomas

"Don’t miss: The bakery puts its own twist on sausage kolaches with a pork pan sausage made in-house. It’s enclosed in a savory wrapping of dough."

Kimya Kavehkar

"Hruska’s, located right between Austin and Houston on State Highway 71, is famous for its klobasniky, with 16 varieties of the Czech pastries available every day. Grab a few for the road - maybe pan sausage and sauerkraut or cream cheese cherry."

Adam Bielamowicz

"You already know how much we love the kolaches and klobasnickys at Hruska's Bakery in Ellinger. I just think it's a sin to not get anything but a kolache there."
