Brooklyn Kolache

"We love a good mashup (we're not mad at this Nine Inch Nails vs. Carly Rae Jepsen one), so why not throw a Tennessee culinary tradition into a Texas one and see what happens? For the month of Feb, beloved hot chicken purveyor Hattie B’s has teamed up with Brooklyn Kolache to fill one of their Czech-style breakfast pastries with cayenne-covered chicken, pork sausage, and spicy sauce. A portion of each sale will be donated to The Giving Kitchen in Nashville and Brooklyn's The Campaign Against Hunger. " - neha talreja

"Autumn Stanford has been serving these perfectly-chewy, Czech-Texas pastries out of her Bed-Stuy storefront since 2012. Now, with a second location in Manhattan, more New Yorkers than ever can enjoy her treats. Pair your morning caffeine (there are regular espresso machine drinks as well as a snickerdoodle latte), with some of the city’s top carbohydrates. Kolaches here span sweet to savory, offered in flavors like blueberry sweet cheese; jalapeno, egg, and cheese; pimento cheese; mushroom and goat cheese; and Texas beef sausage." - Emma Orlow, Urvija Banerji

"​This Bed-Stuy cafe is a godsend for any displaced Texan, especially those from the central part of the Lone Star state. The Czech-Tex pastries are stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. This hot spot — which recently opened up a second location in Manhattan — has a robust set of options ranging from chorizo, egg, and cheese to blueberry sweet cheese." - Andy Hirschfeld

"Other standbys: Russ & Daughters, Brooklyn Kolache Co., Han Dynasty, ham-and-cheese croissants from Bittersweet." - Madeleine Davies

"Bed-Stuy restaurateurs Autumn Stanford and Dennis Mendoza, the duo behind places like Czech-Tex bakery Brooklyn Kolache, have pivoted to contactless takeout and delivery at all their restaurants, Stanford tells Eater." - Tanay Warerkar
