Hruska's Store & Bakery

Drove back from Houston last weekend after a big party for George & Gracy. I saw Solomon's and Lily's review on the mobile app and stopped in. It's a very crowded parking lot. Where there's a crowd, there's something good going on. Wow, this place is amazing! Best kolaches I've ever tasted. George had himself a sausage but nothing for Gracy because she'd been sick most of the drive back. The ladies rooms are very clean so it's a good place to stop on the 2 hour drive back to Austin from Houston. Hruska's also has its own homemade jams in these adorable jars that I'm going to come back for as Christmas presents. Great find!

We drove Houston to Smithville on July 4th 2013 and this was a welcome break stop for us. Its in a small town and seems very popular with travellers who line up for the breakfast foods. I tried the sausage and sauerkraut kolache (which sounds interesting right?) but sadly I am not accustomed to that flavor combination unless it is in a hot dog bun with ketchup and mustard however we would stop here again...

Hruska's is like an oasis in the middle of the desert that is the drive between Austin and Houston. A tasty, tasty oasis. I love this pit stop for its super clean bathrooms...and for its heavenly bakery display of delicious pastries, kolaches, and mini pies. Do not deprive yourself of the goodness that is Hruska's. Now, it's not the BEST kolache or Danish I've ever had...but when you're hungry and have got another hour on the road to go, it tastes pretty darn near perfect.
